In the days since Kalank's latest song First Class dropped online, Kiara Advani has been appreciated for her graceful moves. While the actor has previously featured in a few dance numbers, the Abhishek Varman-directed venture gave her the opportunity to explore classical dance for the first time. A self-confessed fan of Madhubala, Advani turned to the legendary actor - celebrated as much for her poise as for her nimble feet - for inspiration.

"Madhubala is one of the iconic actresses of Indian cinema. When I was offered to do this special song, she served as the reference for my look and persona," gushes Advani. What followed was a series of discussions with fashion designer Manish Malhotra as they curated a look that was an homage to the late star. "I also watched many of her songs to pick up her nuances," she adds.
