Months before, Asha had expressed her wish to resume her live concerts. She told Hindustan Times, “Just before the pandemic, I did three live shows. It was because of the Covid-19 crisis that many of my shows got cancelled. Pandemic mein toh puri duniya hi baith gai (the pandemic brought everything to a halt). I’m just waiting for things to get normal, so that I can resume my live shows.”
