“Preet,” from the 2014 film Khoobsurat, is a soulful and melancholic ballad sung beautifully by Jasleen Royal. Composed by Sneha Khanwalkar, the song’s lyrics reflect the pain of unrequited love and heartbreak, with the powerful opening line, “Jo main jaanti ke preet main pagal hoye,” which translates to “if I had known love would make one so crazy”. Its emotional depth offers a poignant contrast to the movie’s otherwise quirky and vibrant tone.

“Naina” is a soulful romantic track from the 2014 film Khoobsurat, sung by Sona Mohapatra and Armaan Malik. Composed by Amaal Mallik, the song captures the early, fragile stage of falling in love, where both heart and mind battle to resist the inevitable feelings. It beautifully encapsulates the blossoming romance and “cute chemistry” between the lead characters played by Sonam Kapoor and Fawad Khan.
