"Aap Jaisa Koi" became a superhit song in India and overseas and Qurbani became a hit movie at the box office. The video of the song was recorded as an item number by the leading actress of Hindi cinema Zeenat Aman. It was recorded at a length of 3 minutes and 45 seconds. She was offered to sing "Aap Jaisa Koi" and she accepted the offer. Feroz wasn't keen on using Nazia’s voice initially but with some convincing from Zeenat, he heard her sing.
