The first song for Humaima Malik and Emraan Hashmi starrer, Raja Natwarlal is out and the first-time onscreen duo can be seen romancing in the rain.

Titled ‘Tere Ho Ke Rahenge’, the melodious romance number is sung by the talented Arigit Singh – the same remarkable voice behind ‘Meri Aashiqui’ (Aashiqui 2).

The song shows some sizzling chemistry between the svelte Humaima and Bollywood 'serial-kisser' Emraan Hashmi as the couple dances in the downpour.

In the recently released promo, Emraan is seen kissing a coy Humaima. The duo’s onscreen chemistry has been the most-hyped feature of this production.

Denying reports that suggest otherwise, in a recent interview with Dawn Humaima said she is not worried about fan reaction to her onscreen kiss with Hashmi, but chose not to elaborate on the topic.

She added that she has travelled to India a few times before and haven't seen much difference between Indians and Pakistanis.

"We speak the same language and have similar cultures,” she said.

The Deccan Chronicle had earlier quoted Humaima as saying that she is anxiously waiting for the audience's feedback.

Responding to whether she was ready for the big war of ideologies between the two countries – keeping in mind Meera and Veena Malik's unsuccessful attempts to make a mark in Bollywood and how they were slammed by Pakistan for adopting Western culture – Humaima responded, “I’m confident about getting accepted by the Indian audience. But I’m scared of my own country."
