The visual features an animated version of the viral moment when high-profile executives of Astronomer were spotted cuddling during the concert. A line accompanying it reads, “Hum Tum ek camera may band ho!”, a line most likely inspired by the famous Hindi song 'Hum Tum Ek Kamre May Band Ho' from the 1973 film Bobby.
