On Tuesday night, soon after the trailer of Salman khan’s latest outing ‘Sultan’ released, singer Arijit Singh posted a Facebook note apologizing to actor Salman Khan. Since few days, speculations have been rife that Arijit Singh has rubbed superstar the wrong way at a gala music programme. Now, confirming the rumours, Arijit posted a heartfelt post on his facebook page, which the singer soon deleted it.
Going by the post, things took a wrong turn at a recent event. Arijit tried to personally apologise Salman, several times, but to no avail. In his facebook post, Arijit was seen apologizing and pleading with Salman to retain his song sung by him for Mr. Khan’s new film Sultan. Mr. Singh also mentions that he never intended to insult the superstar who he is a big fan of, but never the less was SORRY for anything that might have irked Salman.
Here’s the screenshot of Arijit Singh’s now-deleted Facebook apology:
The singer has not yet deleted his second Facebook post in which he hopes to finally get through to Salman Khan but also predicts trouble.
Twitterati also reacted over this Facebook post of Arijit and as always, there were mixed reactions. While some were in support of Arijit, few were against him too.
Disheartening to see an artist has to apologize for his art to a big-fat man who is a cancer to Indian cinema. Arijit Singh, you won hearts!

I’m A Huge Fan Of Salman Khan But If He Removes Arijit Singh’s Song From The Album Then It’s A BIG Loss For Salman & The Music Album!

Will Arijit’s song make the final cut? Will Salman forgive Arijit? All the drama preceding the already much-anticipated movie seems to create an effective buzz.
Arijit Singh, known for his work in films like Aashiqui 2, Dilwale, and Tamasha, has sung for Salman Khan for the first time in Sultan. Sultan, in which Salman plays a Haryanvi wrestler and which co-stars Anushka Sharma, releases on Eid this year.
