#FlashbackFriday: It’s known to all that fights do happen in Bollywood. Sometimes, the celebs try to make sure it doesn’t go out in public. However, there are times when fights happen right in front of people and nothing can be done to hide them. One such fight happened between Salman Khan and Mithoon and Arijit Singh too.
A few years ago, Salman Khan hosted an award show. Singer-Composer Mithoon won an award for his composition for 2013 film ‘Aashiqui 2‘ that starred Aditya Roy Kapur and Shraddha Kapoor. As reported by Times of India, when Mithoon was giving his acceptance speech, Salman Khan interrupted him and pointed out a piece of paper that was stuck to the composer’s backside. This is when the war of words happened between Salman and Mithoon.
The Ek Villain composer responded to the Bharat actor that it was bound to happen as the evening is dull due to Khan’s long speeches. Mithoon’s response didn’t go down well with the superstar who replied to him, “Chal jaa. Nikal yahan se” to which the composer said, “Sir, main aap se nahin darta.”

Later Mithoon clarified his stand that he never said Salman Khan is boring them with his long speeches. However, an eyewitness told the daily, “Salman’s prank backfired totally. He looked very flustered. This was the last thing he expected. Nobody challenges Salman Khan like that in public. Seeing that the situation was snowballing into an ugly incident, Salman went up to Mithoon and hugged him lightly.”
This was not all. Salman Khan also got into an argument with singer Arijit Singh. When Salman was hosting Star Guild Awards back then, Arijit Singh won an award for his track Tum Hi Ho from Aashiqui 2. When he went on to the stage to collect his award wearing casual clothes and chappals, the superstar joked at him, “So gaye the kya? (Were you sleeping?)” To which Singh replied, “Aap logon ne sula diya yaar (You guys put me to sleep)”. Arijit’s answer affected Salman who mocked him that if he will sing songs like Tum Hi Ho, it would make anyone sleep.
Later, in 2016, Salman made sure that Arijit’s song ‘Jag Ghoomeya’ from Sultan gets removed from the film. The track was later crooned by Rahat Fateh Ali Khan. Even before that, Khan didn’t let him sing a song for Kick which was being composed by Meet Brothers. In 2015, when Singh was helping composer Pritam with the music of Bajrangi Bhaijaan, he was being considered for a particular song. But Pritam told the National Award Winning singer that he won’t record a song with him as Salman might remove it.
