Kausar also confessed that writing songs for films is harder than coming up with Shayari. She feels one needs to take into consideration factors such as the tune and the situation while penning songs for films.
"Writing for films needs a lot more craft. You need to have a keen sense of music and a sharp ear. You need to adjust your thoughts to the tune that has been composed. Then obviously the scene and story too are equally important," she said.
