Salman Khan and Arijit Singh’s long-discussed fallout quietly found closure years ago, but fans were reminded of it during an unexpected moment on Bigg Boss 19. What started as a casual joke turned into one of the most candid confessions Salman has ever made on television.
During a Weekend Ka Vaar episode, comedian Ravi Gupta joked that he felt nervous because he “looks like Arijit Singh.” Salman burst out laughing and then surprised everyone by addressing the old controversy head-on. Setting the record straight, the actor admitted that the misunderstanding was from his side and confirmed that he and Arijit have shared a cordial bond for a long time now.
Salman revealed that Arijit has sung songs for his films after their reconciliation, including a track in Tiger 3 and another upcoming project, Galwan. His calm and honest tone made it clear that there was no lingering bitterness between them.
The rift between the two dates back to a 2014 award show where a playful exchange reportedly didn’t go down well. Over the years, stories of Arijit’s songs being removed from Salman’s films kept the narrative alive. In 2016, Arijit even issued a public apology, hoping to move past the issue.

The real turning point came in 2023 when Arijit sang Le Ke Prabhu Ka Naam for Tiger 3. For many fans, that song symbolized reconciliation. Salman’s Bigg Boss admission later felt like the final closure to a chapter that had followed both stars for nearly a decade.
That moment now feels even more emotional. In a move that stunned the music industry, Arijit Singh has announced his retirement from playback singing. In a heartfelt message, he thanked listeners for their love and confirmed that he would not be taking on any new playback assignments, calling it the end of a beautiful journey.
