Singer has been in controversies due to many reasons, controversy with Salman Khan, removed from the film Sultan, Singer Arijit Singh came to receive the award for the song Tum Hi Ho at the 2014 Guild Awards. At this time Salman Khan and Ritesh Deshmukh were present on the stage, who were continuously joking with the singer. Coming on stage, Arijit said, ‘You guys put me to sleep.’ On this, Salman had said, ‘It is not our fault in this, if such songs (Tum Hi Ho) keep playing then the audience will definitely sleep.’ Arijit left the stage without replying, but after him, Mithun, who came to receive the award for Best Lyrics for the same song ‘Tum Hi Ho’, responded to Arijit’s insult. He said, ‘The song Tum Hi Ho has not made people sleep, it has awakened them.’ On this, Salman again replied in a funny manner, ‘Hey, your singer has come while sleeping.’ In response, Mithun said, ‘Arijit has sung with a lot of patience and this patience is the need of the music industry.’ First, Salman takes out a piece of paper stuck on Mithun’s pants and makes fun of him too. To this Mithun replied, ‘You keep me sitting for 6 hours, that’s why this happens.’ Salman stops laughing at his words and then shouts in anger and says, ‘It is yours, now leave.’ On this Mithun had said- ‘I am not afraid.’ Seeing the rift between the two, everyone became serious. Arijit Singh sang a song for Salman Khan’s film Sultan, but after a few days his song was removed from the film. After receiving the news, Arijit Singh posted on social media and apologized to Salman and requested that his song not be removed from the film. However the apology had no effect. Now Salman-Arijit’s reconciliation has happened. Comedian Ravi Gupta had arrived as host in the Weekend Ka Vaar episode of Bigg Boss 19. During this, he told Salman that he was afraid to come here because his appearance was very similar to Arijit Singh. Salman laughed at this and said, Arijit and I are very good friends, it was a misunderstanding and that misunderstanding was from my side. Controversy over Gerua Song: Arijit Singh sang the song Gerua from the film Dilwale during the Kolkata International Film Festival.
