# From Feud to Friendship: Salman Khan's Heartfelt Reconciliation with Arijit Singh – Just Before the Singer's Shocking Retirement Tease! Imagine Bollywood's biggest superstar and its soulful singing sensation locked in a decade-long cold war – only for one to publicly own the blame and bury the hatchet. That's the dramatic real-life saga of Salman Khan and Arijit Singh, which unfolded right on *Bigg Boss 19*'s Weekend Ka Vaar stage, confirming they're now "very good friends."[1][3][5] The rift kicked off in 2014 at an awards show hosted by Salman. A tired Arijit, fresh off back-to-back performances and dressed casually in slippers, climbed onstage to grab his award. Salman teased, "Were you asleep?" Arijit shot back jokingly, "You guys put me to sleep." What was meant as light banter reportedly rubbed Salman the wrong way, sparking rumors that Arijit's songs were yanked from hits like *Bajrangi Bhaijaan*, *Kick*, and *Sultan*.[1][2][3] Arijit didn't stay silent. In 2016, he poured his heart out in a now-deleted Facebook post, apologizing profusely and begging Salman to keep his version of a *Sultan* track. He even tried texts and emails, but got no reply. Fans watched as the "feud" fueled headlines for years – until cracks of peace appeared.[2][4] Fast-forward to 2023: Arijit lent his magical voice to "Le Ke Prabhu Ka Naam" in Salman's *Tiger 3*, the first olive branch. Then came the bombshell – Arijit spotted leaving Salman's Mumbai residence, igniting collab buzz. And on *Bigg Boss 19*, Salman set it straight with comedian Ravi Gupta, who joked about his Arijit lookalike vibes. Smiling, Salman declared: "Arijit aur main bahut acche dost hai. Jo misunderstanding thi, **meri side se thi**. Uske baad usne gaane bhi kiye mere liye. Tiger mein kiya tha, ab Galwan mein kar raha hai." (Translation: "Arijit and I are very good friends. The misunderstanding was on my side. After that, he sang for me – in *Tiger 3*, and now in *Battle of Galwan*."[1][3][4][5] This reconciliation hits even harder now, coming just months before Arijit's cryptic retirement announcement, turning a potential Bollywood swan song into a feel-good finale.[5] From icy fallout to *Battle of Galwan* tracks – Salman's admission shows egos can heal, and music always wins.
