Arijit Singh’s Public Apology to Salman Khan After Heated Exchange: ‘I Never Insulted You…’

Salman Khan and Arijit Singh’s contentious altercation occurred during an awards ceremony in 2014. Subsequently, the singer issued a public apology to the Bollywood superstar.

Arijit Singh was recently photographed leaving Salman Khan’s residence in Mumbai, sparking speculation about whether the Bollywood icon has finally forgiven Arijit after a nine-year feud. It’s worth noting that Arijit Singh had previously penned an apology letter to Salman Khan on social media in 2016. He implored Salman not to delete a song he had sung for Salman’s film, “Sultan.”

In his letter, Arijit clarified that he had attempted to apologize to Salman numerous times through text messages and emails but received no response. He emphasized that he had never intended to insult Salman and begged for his forgiveness. Below is the content of Arijit Singh’s apology letter:

“Dear Mr. Salman Khan,

This is the last way I thought I would communicate with you. I have tried texting and calling you, doing everything possible to convey that you have misunderstood my intentions. I assure you, I never meant any disrespect. That evening at the show, it was the wrong moment, and the atmosphere was not right. Nevertheless, you felt offended, and I understood that. I felt deeply sorry because my family and I have been your fans for a long time. I made numerous attempts to explain, but you didn’t receive them. I apologized, but you didn’t acknowledge it. You know how many apology texts I sent you.

When I came to Nita Ji’s place, I returned with the sole purpose of apologizing to you, but you didn’t grasp it. No problem, I apologize publicly now in front of everyone, but I have a request. Please do not remove the song I sang for you in ‘Sultan.’ If you wish to have someone else sing it, that’s perfectly fine, but please keep a version with my rendition. I’ve sung many songs, sir, but I would like to retire with at least one of your songs in my collection. Please don’t take away that sentiment.

I’m not entirely sure why I’m doing this, considering the possible consequences.”
