“Arijit aur main acche dost hain. Woh misunderstanding thi aur woh misunderstanding mere side se hui thi. Uske baad usne gaane bhi kiye mere liye. Tiger 3 mein kiya usne, ab Galwan (Battle of Galwan) mein kar raha hai.”

Backstory of the Rift
The rift reportedly began in 2014 during an award ceremony hosted by Salman, where Arijit’s witty reply to Salman’s playful teasing was misunderstood, offending the superstar. Soon after, rumors circulated that Arijit’s songs were dropped from several Salman films, including the notable replacement of Arijit’s Jag Ghoomeya in Sultan with Rahat Fateh Ali Khan’s version.
The situation escalated in 2016 when Arijit publicly apologized to Salman on Facebook, requesting his vocals be retained for Sultan. The apology went viral but was later deleted. Salman did not publicly acknowledge this for years, and collaborations between the two were absent, fueling fan and media curiosity.
Reconciliation and New Collaborations
The thaw began with Tiger 3 (2023), when Arijit returned as a playback singer for Salman, signaling renewed goodwill. Salman’s recent confirmation that Arijit will lend his voice to the upcoming film Battle of Galwan further cements the fact that both have moved beyond their past misunderstanding and are now on good terms.
