Salman Khan cleared the air about his rumored fallout with Arijit Singh on Bigg Boss 19's Weekend Ka Vaar, stating, "Arijit aur main bahut acche dost hai. 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 mein kar raha hai." He confirmed they're close friends, and Arijit has sung for his films, including Tiger 3 and the upcoming Galwan.

Salman Khan’s response to the rift

Comedian Ravi Gupta brought laughter to Bigg Boss 19's Weekend Ka Vaar, jokingly telling Salman Khan, "I was a little nervous about meeting you," prompting Salman to ask why. Ravi cleverly replied, "I look like Arijit Singh," setting the stage for Salman's surprising revelation about their past misunderstanding.

Salman laughed and responded, Arijit aur main bahut acche dost hai. Jo misunderstanding thi, meri side se thi. Uske baad usne gaane bhi kiye mere liye. Tiger me kiya tha, ab Galwan me kar raha hai. (Arijit and I are very good friends. The misunderstanding was from my side. After that, he even sang songs for me, he sang in Tiger, and now he’s singing in Galwan.)

Salman Khan's statement put to rest speculation about his rumored fallout with Arijit Singh, confirming they're on good terms. He called Arijit a "very good friend" and shared they've moved past their misunderstanding, with Arijit even singing for his films.

What exactly happened with Salman and Arijit?

The reported rift between Salman Khan and Arijit Singh began in 2014 at an award show hosted by Salman. Arijit, dressed casually, received his award, and when Salman quipped, “Were you asleep?” Arijit responded, “You guys put me to sleep,” which reportedly upset the actor.

Following the incident, reports suggested that Salman removed Arijit’s songs from several projects. In 2016, Arijit publicly apologized, requesting Salman to retain his song in Sultan. Despite this, they didn’t collaborate for years.

The tension finally eased when Arijit Singh sang Le Ke Prabhu Ka Naam in Tiger 3 (2023), their first collaboration in nearly a decade. Salman's recent statement on Bigg Boss 19 Weekend Ka Vaar indicates that the past is now behind them.
