5 Reasons Why Arijit Singh’s Letter May Piss-off Salman Khan More

Arijit Singh’s apology letter reads like he’s asking for some ‘sifarish’ from Sallu Bhai.

On Tuesday night, Arijit Singh sang his grief out on social media when he posted an open letter to Salman Khan. The singer apologised to the Sultan and requested him to retain his version of the song in the actor’s upcoming film.

Coincidently, Sultan’s trailer was released on the very same day.

The ‘Tum Hi Ho’ singer confessed that after all other options failed, social media was the only route he was left with to convince Bhaijaan. Later on, the singer deleted the post fearing backlash and consequences.

Open letters at the time of social media have worked brilliantly well for many in the past. But unfortunately, this desperate move by the singer may only end up pissing Salman Khan off even more because the letter looks less of an apology, and more of a whiny plea.

Here’s how:

‘Last’, but Not the Best Way!

Your ‘dramatic’ open letter, unlike your songs, does not seem to come straight from your heart.

Didn’t get it?

‘Main tenu samjhawan ki...’

Unfortunately, your letter emotionally moves no one, let alone Bhai. You apparently insulted Sallu bhai (for what we still don’t know but you insulted him). And now you accused the karta-dharta of Bollywood for ignoring your texts and calls.

Seriously? What are you trying to prove? That bhai is heartless and does not care about his fraternity-wallas?

Hellooo, he’s just ‘being human’.

And You Spoil It All by Saying Something Stupid Like...

Arijit, you are completely out of tune in your letter. Trust us, Salman is more irked than you can imagine. Not only does the world know that you insulted bhai, but you also apparently think Bhaijaan is stupid – ’cuz he never got it and was arrogant enough not to reply.

Yeah, right!

Baaton ko teri ‘Salman’ bhula na sake!’

Letter of Recommendation

How ironic – your letter was uploaded the same day Sultan’s trailer released. And it’s not just us (the media), but a lot of people think Sallu bhai will consider this to be asking for ‘sifarish’ than an apology – a cheap gimmick to get a piece of Sultan under your name.

Funnily enough, it doesn’t end there. You also tried to show your generous side by expressing your consent by someone else singing the song as long as a ‘version’ of it is kept.

Tumhari ‘jai ho’!

Why So Confused?

Still wondering why you did this?

Again. ‘Main tenu samjhawan ki...’

You wish Salman forgives you. Good. You want Bhai to keep a version of your song in Sultan, for obvious reasons. Good. And you want him to like you. Very good. After all, we’ve seen what happens to nearly-successful stars, who rub Salman the wrong way.

Vivek Oberoi, anyone?

Salman – the creator of job opportunities in Bollywood. The man who gives breaks to newcomers and to all his girlfriends and their lookalikes is now accused of blocking Arijit’s growth in the industry.

Yeh fitoor hai tera tune badla re tera naseeb... Sigh!

Arijit Singh, you are a singer, sing your heart out to Salman. We suggest, instead of this letter writing, how about you dedicate Kabira, the song, to the actor. After all, it’s more meaningful than your letter.

Re Salman maan ja
Re Salman maan ja...
