The long-standing feud between Salman Khan and Arijit Singh appears to have finally reached a resolution, with Salman Khan seemingly confirming that Arijit Singh has sung a song for his upcoming film, Tiger 3. The news signals the end of a nine-year rift that began at an awards function in 2014.

The initial incident occurred at the Star Guild Awards, where Salman Khan was the host. Arijit Singh, dressed casually in a shirt and flip-flops, arrived on stage to receive an award for his song "Tum Hi Ho". Salman Khan jokingly asked Arijit if he had been sleeping ("So gaye the?"), to which Arijit replied, "Aap logon ne sula diya (You all put me to sleep)". Khan then responded that it wasn't his fault if songs like "Tum Hi Ho" made people sleepy.

This exchange reportedly led to strained relations, resulting in Arijit Singh's songs being removed from Salman Khan's films, including Sultan and Bajrangi Bhaijaan. In 2016, Arijit Singh publicly apologized to Salman Khan, requesting that his version of a song be retained in Sultan. Despite this, the song was re-recorded by Rahat Fateh Ali Khan.

Neither Salman Khan nor YRF made any official announcements despite rumors of a potential collaboration and Arijit Singh being seen leaving Khan's house a few weeks prior. On October 19, 2023, Salman Khan shared a poster of the first song from Tiger 3 on his social media, revealing that Arijit Singh has lent his voice to a song in the film.

While Salman Khan has not directly addressed the past incident, the collaboration on Tiger 3 suggests a reconciliation. Details about Salman Khan's specific comments regarding their renewed professional relationship are still emerging. However, this collaboration indicates a possible end to the feud, with both artists seemingly moving forward.
