Sharing the post, he credited Aditya Dhar for the final version and wrote, “People often ask me who came up with ‘Darling Darling Dil Kyu Toda’ @adityadharfilms did. These were the options sent to me by Dhar Saab to learn before we shoot but at shoot we did ‘Darling Darling.' Which one do u think is the best (sic)."

The post sparked interest among fans, who reacted to the alternate lines and appreciated the one that made it to the film.
