New Delhi: Superstar Salman Khan is known for backing talents in the industry. He never really shies away from promoting fresh faces and has given the Hindi film industry some of the popular names today—such as Katrina Kaif, Arjun Kapoor, Daisy Shah, Zareen Khan etc.

But he also is known for turning his back to people to rub him on the wrong side. Well, there are many in the industry, who at some point in time had a tiff with Sallu Bhai and no sooner did their professional commitments slipped.

According to BollywoodLife.com, popular singer Arijit Singh apparently has lost a song in Karan Johar-Sonakshi Singh starrer 'Welcome To New York'. Reportedly, Arijit has been replaced by Pakistani singer Rahat Fateh Ali Khan for a song in the film which has Sallu Bhai in a special role.

Although no one really knows the real reason for this replacement several reports are linking this to a six-year-old tiff between Salman and Arijit.

Remember that infamous fallout when at an award show Arijit tried to pull Salman's leg who was hosting it by saying, “Kya sir sula diya aapne?” Well, the singer's statement didn't go down well with the superstar who then reportedly dropped his song from his films including 'Sultan'.

Even then Rahat's song was chosen over Arijit's for the film, leaving no option left for the singer but to publicly apologise for his act. He posted a long note on Facebook requesting the actor to not chop off his number.
