Salman Khan on Arijit Singh: The Misunderstanding Was From My Side
'The Misunderstanding Was From My Side': Salman Khan Finally Addresses Decade-Long Feud with Arijit Singh
Mumbai: Bollywood superstar Salman Khan has finally put an end to years of speculation surrounding his much-publicized professional rift with singer Arijit Singh, making a rare and candid admission that the misunderstanding had originated from his side.
Speaking during a recent episode of the reality show Bigg Boss 19's Weekend Ka Vaar, the actor clarified his current equation with one of India's most celebrated playback singers.
A Candid Confession on Live TV
The revelation was prompted by a light-hearted moment when comedian Ravi Gupta joked about being nervous to meet Salman, as people often said he resembled Arijit Singh.
Salman, known for his reserved stance on personal controversies, laughed off the comparison before setting the record straight with a warm smile.
"Arijit and I are very good friends now," Salman stated. "The misunderstanding that happened was from my side, not from Arijit’s side, everything is sorted now."
The superstar further emphasized the resolved relationship by confirming their continued professional collaboration, adding, "After that, he even sang songs for me. He sang in Tiger 3 and now he's doing one for 'Battle of Galwan'."
The 2014 Awards Night Incident
The tension between the two industry heavyweights dates back to the 2014 Star Guild Awards. Arijit Singh, who was then riding high on the success of "Tum Hi Ho," came onto the stage to receive an award.
Salman Khan, who was hosting the event, playfully teased the singer about his casual attire and seemingly tired appearance, asking, "So gaye the?" (Were you asleep?). Arijit responded with a joke, qupping, "Aap logon ne sula diya yaar" (You guys put me to sleep).
Though intended as light banter, the comment reportedly did not sit well with the actor, sparking a decade of industry rumours that Arijit’s songs were subsequently dropped from several Salman Khan films, most notably "Jag Ghoomeya" from Sultan.
Resolution and Reconciliation
The feud, which saw Arijit Singh issue an emotional public apology on social media in 2016 (a post later deleted), finally began to thaw publicly when the singer lent his voice to "Le Ke Prabhu Ka Naam" from Salman Khan's 2023 blockbuster, Tiger 3.
Salman Khan's recent public acknowledgment has provided a definitive sense of closure, effectively putting to rest one of Bollywood's longest-running cold wars. The admission has been widely praised by fans as humility from one of Hindi cinema’s biggest stars and paving the way for more musical collaborations between the two.
