| Instrument | Role | Emotional Effect | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | | The conscious mind – Naina’s logic and restraint. | Clean, precise, melancholic. | | Cello / Strings (Sustained) | The heart – Aman’s overflowing, unconditional love. | Warm, deep, aching. | | Flute / Shehnai (Brief ornamentations) | Hope – The fleeting joy of "now." | Ethereal, fragile. | kal ho naa ho theme music
