About the song “Uff Ye Noor”, he says, “It took me a month to produce this song. The most special part is that this song had a lot of live musicians involved, unlike other songs today where most music is programmed.” He is thankful to Amaal Mallik for having given him the freedom to do this.

When asked about his experience on working with the Malik brothers who are a hit at the Bollywood music scene right now, Meghdeep says, “Young blood and classic souls, exactly like me, so we vibed a lot for this reason. Amaal is the composer, and my client so I am more acquainted with Amaal, with whom my basic school of thought and brainstorming happens.” He also mentioned about Amaal being really supportive and liberal when creativity of a musician is concerned.
