Music video
The song takes place after Amar (Shahrukh Khan) tracks the evanescent Meghna (Manisha Koirala) down to her village and declares his intentions of asking for her hand in marriage. The music video combines different visual diagrams: the realist narrative, the steadycam shots, a transnational consumer lifestyle of advertising, tourism, pearl necklaces, designer gowns, and the constantly re-ordered body of the woman.[2]
