Parineeti got emotional as the group sang “Saaware jiya jaye na”.

“I remember how I could never sing this song and I used to request my guruji to always sing this song. The moment I heard the word ‘Saaware’, I was reminded of my days when I used to train and my eyes automatically welled up,” Parineeti said in a statement.
