In the video, Rishi ji had said, “Jhootha Kahi ka, jo gaana tha. Jo ki jab picturise kar rahe the to mai aur Neetu bilkul baat hi nahi kar rahe the. Humara jhagda ho gaya tha, ladai ho gai thi. Chaar din lage gaana picturise karne me, aur ek din na usne baat ki, na maine usase baat ki. Lekin jab aap parde pe dekhenge to bilkul lagega ki ye 'in love' hain, kuch hua ho nahi.”
The collage also consisted Neetu ji’s version, which she shared on the sets of Indian Idol 12, where she had said, “In Jhootha Kahi Ka, Jeevan Ke Har Mod Pe, gaane me hum dance kar rahe hai, bade khush ho rahe hain. But actual mein, we had broken up. Make up room mein ro ro ke buri haalat thi. Mera doctor aya hua tha, mere ko injection maar rahe hain.” Neetu ji captioned the collage of videos as “Same story narrated by both of us on different occasions #indianidol12.”
