In her post, Sonam revealed that she was not the first choice for "Tridev".

In fact, there weren’t supposed to be so many costume changes; we were originally meant to shoot the song in a single outfit, but instead I ended up with six or seven changes."
Sonam admitted that she never even imagined that "Oye Oye" would become so popular.
Revealing the moment she realized that the number was a massive hit, Sonam penned, "How I did get to know the song was such a big hit? Well it was when my driver told me then, that people were shouting oye oye, in public transport and on streets. We had no social media then.
We just had people calling each other by just saying oye oye!"
