From the past two days, the entire country is wondering about one thing, why did Arijit Singh apologize to Salman Khan?
In case you missed the recent developments. Arijit Singh posted a long letter on social media in which he almost begged Salman to forgive him. Even though he deleted the post, social media was abuzz with the issue, but no one exactly knew what had caused the need for Arijit to ask Salman for ‘forgiveness’.
However, according to a report by Mumbai Mirror, Arijit Singh spoke in detail about the incident. Here is what happened, “He (Arijit) informed that he'd been working at a recording studio when Mukesh Bhatt dragged him to the show. He was so tired that he fell asleep for a moment and had no idea what was happening, until someone woke him up.”
"I was also nervous as it was my first awards show.” Said Arijit. “Salman Khan looked at me and started to laugh as I obviously didn't look like a winner in casuals and slippers. When he asked me if I had fallen asleep, it slipped out of my mouth from nervousness and embarrassment. It wasn't directed at him or anyone in particular but I knew I shouldn't have said it. I am a huge fan of Salman's work and I felt terrible. When he hugged me on the stage, I apologised in his ear and went back. The same night I texted him a "sorry" and followed it up with a long apology note. He replied in the morning with a rebuke and advised me on how to behave. But he added that he was okay, which made me happy and relieved. It was only later that I realised he wasn't. I have been apologising for almost three years now."
“I thought maybe he had forgiven me and recorded the song. Everyone okayed it but I heard last night that he doesn't want my voice in the final master. That really hurt. I tried to reach him last night as well but in vain. So I resorted to a social media apology hoping it will reach him. I knew people would misinterpret it and when it instigated arguments I thought I should remove it. I am not in Mumbai at the moment or I'd have gone to his apartment last night. I am going to do that once I am back. I have hopes that he will be fine with me one day”.
Here’s a video clip from the award show Arijit is talking about.
