APOLOGY BACKFIRES
SINGER Arijit Singh was so convinced his song had been removed from the Sultan soundtrack because of lead star Salman Khan’s grudge against him that he sent out a grovelling apology on social media. He soon deleted the ill-advised open letter, but Sal- man’s people said it was a non-is- sue and refused to comment. By taking it into the public arena, Arijit turned a molehill into a mountain and probably won’t be featured on a Salman Khan film again.
