The Award Night Incident That Sparked Rumours
The controversy dates back to the 2014 Star Guild Awards, where Arijit Singh, fresh off his massive hit "Tum Hi Ho," accepted an award. Salman, hosting the event, jokingly teased Arijit, asking if he had been asleep. Arijit’s witty comeback, “You guys put me to sleep”, amused the audience but apparently didn’t sit well with Salman. This exchange was misinterpreted, leading to rumours of a rift between the two stars

Impact on Bollywood Collaborations
Following the incident, gossip spread that Salman Khan had sidelined Arijit’s versions of songs in his films. Notably, Arijit’s rendition of “Jag Ghoomeya” from Sultan was replaced by Rahat Fateh Ali Khan. Fans speculated this was due to the fallout, fueling further controversy over the years.
In 2016, Arijit Singh addressed the controversy himself with a public apology on social media. He asked Salman for forgiveness, clarifying that his remarks were never meant to offend and were a result of poor timing and misunderstood humour. Despite his sincere apology, neither Salman nor Arijit publicly resolved the issue until now.
