Bollywood celebrities often get into a heated debate with another star, thanks to social media. In the era of social media, celebrities grab headlines on their own through their comments and views that they express publicly. A recent Twitter spat between the two young icons, Sonakshi Sinha and singer Armaan Malik is currently a talk of the town. The two got into a heated debate over how singers are often overshadowed by actors even in concerts besides films. After Priyanka Chopra sung Exotic song, Parineeti, Alia and Shraddha too took to singing in their own movies and this did not go well in the music circle.(Also Read: Azaan Row: Sonu Nigam Takes Challenge And Shaves Off His Head, Bollywood Reacts!)
It all started when Armaan retweeted Kailash Kher’s tweet which said, Sonakshi Sinha is been roped as opening gig at the upcoming Justin Bieber India Concert tour. Armaan wrote, “Agree with @Kailashkher sir! Actors are actors & singers are singers. Leave the stage & mic to us, that’s our playground, not yours.”

In the response, Noor actress soon reverted, “And this is definitely not the same tune you were singing when you wanted me to sing for you,”

What a joke!! Sonakshi dragged wrong person in the debate and Armaan was quick to highlight saying, “You are mistaking me for @AmaalMallik he is the composer :)”

In the response, Sonakshi soon reverted, “A secure artist wud always encourage another artist to grow their skills and follow their dreams. Art in any form should not be suppressed.”

To which Armaan replied, “I Agree with u sonakshi.. but I voiced what I felt about how singers are shunned in our country & given lesser importance than actors!!”

Now it remains to see what other Bollywood stars have to say about this heated debate. With actors now singing their own songs in the films, many singers are losing their opportunities. Kailash Kher was the first one to speak on the burning topic. In an interview, he had said, “I read somewhere that a Canadian singer Justin Bieber is coming to India, and actress Sonakshi will perform at the gig. The news was cute, but quite a lie. It doesn’t give a good message internationally.”
