Her [[Higher Secondary Examination]]s were nearing that time and she would take her books and notebooks to the studio in order to study during downtime.

==Picturization==
The song is picturized on Parvati (Aishwarya Rai) and [[Devdas]] (Shah Rukh Khan). The song picturises the romance and the sweet relation between the two characters and their love for each other since their childhood.

==Reception==
"Bairi Piya" was an instant success and topped the charts.<ref name="Voice of Paro"/> [[Shreya Ghoshal|Ghoshal]] became the first and till date is the only singer to win both [[Filmfare Awards|Filmfare]] and [[National Film Awards]] for her debut song. Shreya's rendition of ''"Ish"'' or ''"Eesh"'' in the song became the highlight of the character Parvati and was well appraised.
Reviewing the soundtrack, Aniket Joshi said, "If you liked ''"Aankhon Ki Gustakhiyan"'' from ''[[Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam]]'', I can pretty much guarantee you’ll like “Bairi Piya”. The song falls in the same genre as the previously mentioned song from [[Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam]], a ''chhed-chhad'' song, but done with a lot of grace and maturity. Yes, that’s quite hard to put together. Shreya Ghoshal and Udit Narayan render this number. The singing, like all of the songs in the album is just mind-blowing. The unique part of the song is the ''"ish"'' that Darbar has put in at certain points in the song, very unique!".<ref>{{cite news | url=http://www.planetbollywood.com/Music/Devdas/| title="''Ish'', the unique part of the track ''Bairi Piya''"| work=PlanetBollywood | agency=planetbollywood.com|accessdate=2 April 2002}}</ref>
While reviewing for [[Rediff.com]], Sukanya Verma wrote, "Udit Narayan and Shreya murmur sweet nothing as they playfully chide and make up in Bairi piya. Narayan successfully captures the eternal romanticism of Devdas whereas Shreya brings an element of impishness to Paro's character by blushing ''"Eesh"'' at every given opportunity."<ref>{{cite news | url=http://www.rediff.com/entertai/2002/apr/12dev.htm| title=The Unchained Melody of Devdas| work=[[Rediff.com]] | agency=rediff.com|accessdate=12 April 2002}}</ref>
