He sends me songs, woh apne ghar mein bethe rehenge, voice notes bhejte rehte, koi gaana gaakar bhejte. Then I send a song from here, and toh waise humara give and take chalte rehta. And it's great fun. Abhi bhi, whenever we meet, kahin bhi, we start dancing. That's the way we meet. Studio ki parking mein ho, ya set par ho, kahin bhi ho. Jahan bhi hum mil jate hain, turant we start dancing to a song. So, great fun, great fun." Earlier, Sumeet got candid about the upcoming track in Wagle Ki Duniya, he said, "This track means a lot to many people, especially in a city like Mumbai where redevelopment affects so many homes. It's not just about buildings being torn down and rebuilt — it's about people's lives, memories, and emotions. I really liked how the episode didn't just show the process, but also the emotional stress it brings to families. It was heartwarming to see the mix of humour, the strong sense of community, and the real struggles of city life. The episode struck a nice balance between being entertaining and showing the serious side of what redevelopment really feels like."
