New Delhi [India]: Sonakshi Sinha might be super excited about her performance at pop star Justin Bieber’s maiden concert in India, but the news hasn’t gone down well with singers Kailash Kher and Armaan Malik.
Armaan, on Monday, put a tweet out, which implied that actors should stick to acting and singers to singing.
“Agree with @Kailashkher sir! Actors are actors & singers are singers. Leave the stage & mic to us, that’s our playground not yours,” he tweeted.

The ‘Noor’ star responded, saying, “A secure artiste would always encourage another artiste to grow their skills and follow their dreams. Art in any form should not be suppressed.”

The 21-year-old immediately clarified that he is voicing his opinion because singers are shunned in India and given lesser importance than actors.

Sona took a dig at Armaan as she wrote, “And this is definitely not the same tune you were singing when you wanted me to sing for you,” Sonakshi wrote.

Armaan clarified that it was his brother Amaal who approached the actress and not him.
You are mistaking me for @AmaalMallik he is the composer 🙂 https://t.co/7TpVl96EzR

For the unversed, Padma Shri award-winning singer-composer Kailash Kher reportedly said getting Sonakshi Sinha on board to perform at Justin Bieber’s concert over any other acclaimed Indian singer is not a good sign, and sends a wrong message internationally. (ANI)
