The music video "Heeriye," directed by Taani Tanvir and starring Dulquer Salmaan, became one of last year's most soulful hits. While the song captivated hearts with its melody and stunning visuals, few are aware of the poignant story behind its creation. During the shooting of this beloved music video, Taani Tanvir's father was critically ill and admitted to the ICU.

In an emotional post shared after the release of "Heeriye," Taani revealed the personal turmoil she faced while working on the project. "This music video will always stay etched in my life, for I shot this while Dad was in the ICU," she wrote. "He was more concerned about my shoot than his health, and it broke my heart thinking a parent is so seldom understood by the kids."

Taani's words reflected a deep sense of gratitude and heartache as she recalled her father's unwavering support and concern for her career, even in his final days. "It has taken me months to get over the fact that he cared so much about my work while sulking all the time that I shifted to Bombay instead of staying with him," she added. "With him watching over me now from the heavens, #HEERIYE is all yours to love."
