In an interview with the portal in 2016, Amrik Singh Shera talked about the song and the popularity that it received. “Two months ago, I got a call from a friend that ‘Kala Chashma’ was being played on a TV channel. I don’t know how I felt. I was happy but also shocked,” he had said.
Amrik had also stated that in 2016, he was approached by Jalandhar-based Angel Record Company seeking other songs he had written. He signed the agreement and got only Rs 11,000 in return. “I was told that a Mumbai-based company needed my song to be played at the inauguration of a cement firm. I don’t know the name of the cement company. No one told me that the song would be featured in a movie.” But he has “no ill feelings for anyone.”
“No one from the film industry called me to Mumbai during the music launch or screening of the film. I just wanted to go there and let everyone know that a person from a small village in Punjab has written the song,” Amrik Singh Shera revealed.
Amrik wrote the song when he was in class 9 and was 15-years-old. The song was sung by Amar Arshi and he performed it in England during a function. From there, it went to Chandigarh and became popular.
