The following year, she collaborated with Ilaiyaraaja for ''Paa'' (2009), where she performed the song "Mudi Mudi Ittefaq Se" which earned her a second Filmfare nomination in the same category.

She was the final Indian singer to perform in ''Coke Studio Pakistan'' with the song "Paar Chanaa De" (2016) and received praise for singing the song "Aaj Jaane Ki Zid Na Karo" from the deluxe edition of the ''Ae Dil Hai Mushkil'' soundtrack (2016).
