Salman on Arijit Singh controversy: Producer and director decide singer

Bollywood superstar Salman Khan has spoken for the first time about the controversy involving singer Arijit Singh, who wrote a open apology letter to Salman on his Facebook page.

When a journalist asked Salman about Arijit Singh, the actor said “Who is that?”

He then added that it’s the producer (Aditya Chopra) and director (Ali Abbas Zafar) who decide the best voice for the film. The actor also said they rejected his voice. Rejection, he said, is life and there is no reason to get so upset or hurt.

“In every film, there are lot of singers who sing. It’s the director and producer who make the choice of who is going to be the best voice for the film. One voice was mine but that was also rejected. So why get so upset and hurt? This is life. Then smart comments, post (Facebook).. you come to know the intentions (Arijit’s)” Salman said.

    Stop talking non sense.If you are calling such an egocentric man a God you should worry about brain. You are degrading God but saying this animal is God. May God forgive you

  • Removing Arijit’s voice and adding Rahat Fateh Ali Khan’s voice is a shame on Indian Film industry. Talents of India are not getting work and these Pakistani’s are getting work in India due to favour of people lije Salman n Shahrukh. May be Salman denying of doing this but everyone know he has done this cheap thing

  • @the jobless bengali village idiot

    A commoner who crossed various hurdles to reach this stage unlike you papa made fakestar, who with his limited acting skills, would not have got the role of even a office boy, if was not backed up by a family having its roots in Bollywood.

    Have some shame Mr chichora , before making fun of a self made hardworking talented singer like Arijit.

  • That’s why a proper upbringing should be made Mandatory for everyone – be it a commoner or a Bollywood star.
    Else such statements are bound to be recorded and we will not be having any option, expect to bear all the non-sensical talks of an illiterate (non-actor in this case).

  • You can’t find as shameless, cheap and loggerheads as non-actor fans even if you search using a torch in daylight. Look at them, how they are defending their illiterate gawar idol (specially that old age aunt).

    @Aunt : Abe oldie, go and seduce the oldies of your locality because they might pay heed to your desires. But in this case, you won’t get anything defending the mojoless Khan as he ‘lacks’ what you carve for. Shameless moron.

  • I will tell a controversy between music legends of yesteryears viz., Mohd Rafi and OP Nayyar, whose combination was one of the best of those times.

    Once Rafi was late for the recordings and the music team of OP had to wait. When enquired why Rafi was getting late, he came to know that Rafi was busy with a rival music director’s recording.

    This infuriated the music director and he stopped recording songs with Rafi. It was very rare of Rafi to be late, but he got stuck up and though Rafi sent his apologies, OP did not relent. This went on for 3 long years.

    One final day, Rafi decided to end this and he went directly to OPs house and the moment he saw him, he went and hugged him. They both hugged each other, shed some tears, and OP said these words, that, “Today you proved, Rafi, that you are not only a great singer, but a better human being”.

    When you want to end things, you just meet, talk and resolve it, and don’t sent feelers through other people, post on facebook, twitter etc., It only fuels the controversy and hurts egos. The media is looking for such silly gossips to fuel it to gain TRPs, so the simple way is to keep quiet and solve it in person.

    Arijit will not lose anything if he goes and meet in person and talk, but the humbleness will lift him leap and bounds in his career.

  • Abe non-actor villager, don’t take Arijit as granted. You removed his song from your movie (which shows how cheap you are), still producers and music directors are lined-up in front of his house. So don’t think that you can hamper his career by any means.
    It was a nice gesture by Arijit that he asked your apology or else a gawar like you only deserves disrespect.

  • “Director and producer choose voices for the film..” LOL and music directors choose who is going to helm the film..

  • “Who is Arijit Singh”?

    Biggest male singer in India today.
    That was a very arrogant reply, which doesn’t suit on someone who runs a charity named “Being Human”. If makers wanted Rahat’s version for the movie, then they could have at least added Arijit’s version in the album, which would have got them more customers for the album. Why would they want their own loss?

  • That Deserves Arijit Singh!!!! What did he did to Salman that he has forgotten every easily but what Salman Khan King Khan is ignoring him that he makes this a public show by sending sorry on Twitter. If he is really sorry then he has to went to Salman’s house and then Salman would really forgive him but by doing smart things he is showing people how rude Salman is but all knows this is trick of smart arijit Singh
    who is arijit?

  • Arijit is the top singer of our nation today, he has immense fan following across the globe, in Facebook he has 14897431 fans. More than 1 crore likes! And you’re asking who is Arijit? What the heck. Boycott Arrogant non actor salman’s Sultan.

  • if people think that arjit voice is better than Rahat Fateh Ali Khan voice then you need to check your ears.
    Rahat Fateh Ali Khan is the better singer and the best choice for the song

  • Salman you are right who the hell is Arjiit Singh to dictate to producers or directors as to whose song they play in the film. But you know that when rumors mention your name the dumb twits jump the band wagon but we know that
    Rumors are carried by haters, spread by fools and accepted by IDIOTS. This includes SRK haters and all web sites. Indians are known for accepting whatsoever garbage is written. They allow people to control their thinking blindly.

  • And who is Salman Khan??.

    Wait, he is the guy who has the record for the biggest disaster movie in Bollywood history. ???

  • Well I am salman fan but this is not cool from him. As far arijit also confirmed that his songs have been removed from bhai films and its true because speaking lie and making salman angry realistically not believable. So like any famous celebrity arijit doesn’t need such kind publicy either. He is not pooja misra or rakhi sawant to do in middle of road, he is already on peak in his own field and then still asking for apology is his geniunity in person but salman is salman, he can’t go off of his personality and people love him for that too lol

  • lol haters have startd to bark buh remember ur cheap comments dont matter to him
    btw it is the arijit singh who startd it all but u haters wont speak about that

  • Stop criticising bhai Arijit isn’t yakub,dawood or a top lawyer whom Bhai would be knowing.
    Neither is he a useless son of any celebrity like Salman

  • Arijit is just a publicity hungry moron just wanted to get some free publicities using Bhai’s name.
    #Very well said Bhaijaan!!!

  • Now all the loongiwalas, jokerwalas & jaadoowalas suddenly become Arijit fans…hahaha.
    # I like it!!!

  • After all finally,WE see this devil’s real image clearly,isn’t WE?

    the same thing is now reflecting what we have saw during Vivek overoi constantly said sorry everywhere to salman and Salaman ignored that but he was threatening salman in front of media.

    But what Arijit did,He simply hot irritated by a dumb award host like salman who made fun of his clothes 1st,then tired Arijit spoke that thing unintentionally “aap logo me sula diya thaa”.

    But wait,then what happened?Did OUR FAVOURITE ARIJIT really noticed salman as an non actor and got bored due to his pathetic jokes at award functions.

    Yeah you’re right.yiu’re completely right.though Arijit said unintentionally THE TRUTH to salman indirectly “you’re pathetic host”.which is TRUTH as all of WE know salma has no sense of humour.

    And then what salman realised “this guy indirectly said I don’t know hosting and thinks me a dumb”.then he suddenly get angry.

    Then I can say yeah salman you’re right,if you don’t know hosting then why you were hosting at that time?

    Just look at KING SRK(KING OF AWARD FUNCTIONS TOO),whenever the time comes to praise someone HE USES WORDS LIKE “MY VERY GOOD FRIEND”,”THE EXCELLENT SINGER/DIRECTOR ETC ETC).while our bhai did opposite of that.

    If you can’t respect a THE NO.1 SINGER OF RCWNT TIME,then who the hell you’re to expect respect Him.

    But I can agree ARIJIT not at all likes salman.but he was bound to be apologize salman and said to be his fan only not to harmed by salman in his golden career.

    At least KING KHAN never interfered with anyone’s career inside the I did try though HE has the power unlike salman who always played with many hero,heroine,sinver’s career.

    This is not the 1st time salman played with singer,bwfore he too removed SONU’S VOICE from the “hangover” song of kick.

    Now who was responsible at that time if not salman was ? Did he said his auto tune buffalo voice would better than even The Legendary Sonu Nigam if He would have sung the song “hangover”?

    This is the real character of this devil criminal.h e doesn’t care of anybody inside industry except his success.

    And he helped manyone also only with a reason,to show his “EHSAAN” upon them,so that in future nobody could be dare to speak against him.in that way he gathered many chances for him inside Bollywood who is now blaming ARIJIT for this.

    This happens when our country’s people will give importance to a unsocial criminal non actor.now everybody including some sensible salman fans must have thinking what salman is doing.

    Still you want to see this non actor’s film this EID.fine see,if yiu really don’t care about his past victims who suffered a lot and till now suffering and and many industry insiders too suffering too.but who cared about them and who cares about those common men/talented industry insiders,we can’t SACRIFIECE such a big non actor for these people.

    If you really care,then boycott every salman movies and take the oath to never even give damn even to the poster of this 3rd grade non actor.Come On Indians,It’s the time to open your eyes,Come On.
