In the midst of the controversy surrounding the song Pasoori Nu from the film SatyaPrem Ki Katha, an old video of Pakistani singer Ali Sethi has resurfaced and is making waves on social media. The clip, which dates back to 2020, shows Sethi expressing his admiration for Indian singer Arijit Singh during an Instagram live session. The video is receiving positive attention, serving as a reminder of the mutual respect between the two artists.
The short clip begins with Sethi praising Singh, stating, "The sign of a great singer, gifted and a great singer is that they can make it feel effortlessly easy, and this is what Arijit Singh does with the song Aayat, which I am obsessed with. I think it is one of the most beautiful songs to emerge from the Indian movie scene in years." The singer then states, "With apologies to Arijit Singh, not that he cares," before launching into a beautiful rendition of the melody.
In light of the video resurfacing, fans are calling for an end to the ongoing rivalry between the two singers' fan bases. One user pointed out that the video was recorded before the controversy surrounding Pasoori Nu and emphasised that both singers respect and admire each other. Some fans expressed regret over the negative reception of Pasoori Nu, with one user wishing that the song had been handled better.
Sethi has yet to comment on the resurfaced video, or Pasoori Nu, for which he is credited. However, Shae Gill, the original singer alongside Sethi, from Coke Studio's Pasoori, responded to the controversy, advising those who dislike the song to simply not listen to it. She further emphasised that publicly humiliating and insulting someone is not a kind or constructive approach.
In a series of stories shared on Instagram, Gill stated, “If it’s something you don’t like at all then I would say don’t listen to it. Instead of sending hate, don’t listen to it because not liking something and talking about it in your home is still fine but if you are publicly humiliating and insulting someone then it’s not very nice, is it?”
