Shahid Kapoor's Take
Talking about the track, Shahid expressed, "Mashooqa has a vibe that pulls you in instantly. Kriti and I genuinely had such a blast shooting this one because it doesn't take itself too seriously. It's stylish, playful and just a lot of fun. It's the kind of song that makes you want to let go a little, turn the volume up and enjoy the moment. Pure summer energy."
Kriti Sanon's Reaction
Kriti added, "This song is such a vibe. It's groovy, flirty and reminds me of Sicily — both musically and visually. Shahid and I were just being our goofy selves and having a blast. I feel audiences are really going to enjoy this one because it has a very fresh sound and energy."
