Sukshinder wasn’t sure about the song as it was just an experiment, so he kept it randomly on 5th or 6th position in the cassette, thinking that it would just pass by and the company wouldn’t pay much attention to it. But shortly after, Sukshinder Shinda got a call from the company, he was asked about a song, Dil Ki Gali. They asked who was the singer of the song.
Sukshinder Shinda briefly thought that the song had messed up everything for him but the company had different plans.
