The singer also apologised in the long post and requested Salman to “not remove the song that I sang for you in sultan. You want anyone else to sing this song, absolutely fine but keep a version at least. I have sung enough songs sir. But I want to retire with at least one song of you keeping in my library. Please do not take away this feeling.”

Responding to his post, Salman Khan had replied that the decision to use the track depended on the director and the producer of Sultan and people should not make a big deal out of the fact that it was Rahat Fateh Ali Khan, whose version was being used in the film’s final cut and not Arijit’s.

To which, the Bharat actor said, “Aur isme humara koi dosh nahi hai, agar aise gaane bajte rahenge…,” and started humming the tune of Singh’s popular song Tum Hi Ho.
