Mohapatra pointed out that the video and film give viewers a glimpse into the life of an artist who aspires to take in the splendor and variety of the universe difficulties she encounters. She noted that this is something that the video does, similar to what the film does.
“The many musical and cultural traditions world and observations of the world are the primary sources of inspiration for music. Other sources include the life they have lived, the poems I’ve read, the people they have spoken to on the street, and the people they have talked to. Piya Se Naina is a film that was made to showcase the limitless creative potential that they have. The film also depicts the most vulnerable and rebellious times in my life, “Mohapatra noted.
