All’s well between Karan Johar and Sonu Nigam

Karan Johar‘s last directorial ‘Ae Dil Hai Mushkil’ had its share of controversies attached to it. One such issue was related to the said by Anushka’s character in the film that stated, “Mohammed Rafi? Woh gaate kam, rote zyada the na?,” which didn’t go down well with a few B-Town celebs who immensely respected the late veteran singer. One such celeb who got offended with the dialogue was Sonu Nigam. Reportedly, Karan and Sonu were not on talking terms after this incident, which even involved a Twitter spat between the two. Though, both of them never directly named each other, but it was quite evident that there were some differences.

However, now there is good news for their fans. It is being heard that both Karan and Sonu have buried the hatchet over the matter. A source close to them has quoted to a leading daily saying, “The dust has settled, there is no bad blood between the two anymore. Sonu even paid a tribute to KJo at the Mirchi Music Awards.”

Even Sonu Nigam had recently spoke about the filmmaker to the same leading daily saying, “Anyone who has achieved such immense success in life can’t be a small person. Sometimes, the people around exaggerate and magnify matters. We never got a chance to meet each other after that (row). But recently , while I was hosting an awards show, I paid a tribute to him by singing three of my hits from his films. We hugged each other after that and both of us were on the verge of crying. I was happy he reciprocated my love and respect. Life is very small for all this. You never know when your time is over.” (Also Read: Karan Johar about nepotism: Am I working with my nieces, nephews, daughters, cousins?)

“We never had an altercation on a personal level. Social media has a way of fanning the flames. I neither spoke ill of his film, nor uttered his name even once. I just expressed my love for Rafi saab. That doesn’t make me anti-Karan Johar. I revere Rafi saab and I have a right to say so. I never spoke against Karan and he knows it,” added the singer. [sic]

Further, Sonu added saying that, “I didn’t feel the need to call him.You do that when you either feel guilty or are in need of that person. So I didn’t call him and neither did he.”

Well, all is well that ends well. We are just glad that the two are on good terms now.
