As the trend of actors taking to the mic and exploring their pleasant side (or the lack in thereof) is on a rise, so is the debate that whether they ought to wander into artists’ field or simply stick to what they know best. Conveying that level headed discussion to the bleeding edge is a youthful and well-known vocalist, Armaan Malik. The voice behind songs like “Main Hoon Hero Tera” and “Bol Do Na Zara” took to Twitter today to hit out at actors, asking them to leave singing.
“Agree with Kailash Kher sir! Actors are actors & singers are singers. Leave the stage & mic to us, that’s our playground, not yours,” he posted alongside a news article that said on-screen character Sonakshi Sinha will perform at the opening of Justin Bieber’s Mumbai concert.
Snappy to post a similarly solid answer, Sonakshi composed that a protected artist could never debilitate others. “A secure artist would always encourage another artist to grow their skills and follow their dreams. Art in any form should not be suppressed.” She even scrutinized Armaan’s sentiment, saying that why did he approach her before for a track in the event that he was against on-screen characters turning performers. “And this is definitely not the same tune you were singing when you wanted me to sing for you,” she wrote.
This came about into a contention between the two, where even Armaan’s sibling, Amaal Malik, bounced in. Armaan answered to her, saying that his past tweet was a way to express his disappointment over the dissimilarity between the prominence of performing artists and vocalists in the nation. “I agree with you Sonakshi.. but I voiced what I felt about how singers are shunned in our country & given lesser importance than actors!!” Armaan wrote to her.
To her claim that he offered her to sing for him, Armaan composed that it wasn’t him yet his music writer sibling Amaal Malik who had made the offer. “You are mistaking me for Amaal Malik he is the composer :)” read his tweet. To which she tweeted, “Of course I know Amaal is the composer but I clearly remember you both coming up to me after an event a while back asking to do a song together.”
