Deepika Padukone sings songs around the home, revealed Ranveer Singh. According to the actor, "Deepika is really really excited and looking forward to seeing the movie. She loved the trailer and she understands what it (the movie) means to me. To be in Karan Johar's directorial as a lead. It's a big deal, he is one of the pre-eminent filmmakers of our country, so she knows that it means a lot to me. She is very excited for me. She is very excited to see the performance."'
While sharing Deepika's reaction to the latest song âWhat Jhumka shared, "She keeps singing the songs around the house and yeah, I can't wait for her to see it and know what she thinks and feels about it.

While Deepika is excited about the film's release, Alia revealed that her actor husband Ranbir Kapoor was part of the musical journey since he understands music better. Bhatt explained the situation, saying, "Karan, Pritam Da and Ranbir together have given a fantastic album. So when the songs were being made from scratch, since then I've been making Ranbir listen to the songs, much to Pritam Da's disapproval because he gets very protective of the song. But he's really involved in the musical journey because he has a very, very strong instinct for sound."
"So when he heard Turn Kya Mile and What Jhumka, he gave his opinion there only, that 'this is good, this will really work'. So he's actually when I'm working on a film, I kind of, with my enthusiasm, take him through the journey along with me even if he has other things to do. I kind of dragged him into it. He hasn't seen the film yet. He's going to see it next week," the actress added.
For the unversed, Alia and Ranveer will be sharing the screen space for the second time post the success of âGully Boy'. For those who are unaware, the film marks Karan Johar's return to the director's chair after 7 years of hiatus. The film also stars Dharmendra, Jaya Bachchan and Shabana Azmi in key roles. The film is slated to hit theatres on July 28, 2023.
