Sonakshi Sinha’s twitter spat with duo Amaal and Armaan?

As per reports, pop star Justin Bieber is all set to perform in India next month. His Mumbai concert is being keenly awaited and the fans can barely contain their excitement. Bollywood actress cum singer Sonakshi Sinha is one of the actresses who would be performing at the concert. If the news are to be believed, then the actress would be opening the show. But, this news hasn't gone down well with a few singers like Kailash Kher and Armaan Malik.

On reading the above news, Armaan got on to Twitter and wrote, "Agree with @Kailashkher sir! Actors are actors & singers are singers. Leave the stage & mic to us, that's our playground not yours."

Clearly, this tweet didn't go down well with Sonakshi who reacted on Twitter, "A secure artist wud always encourage another artist to grow their skills and follow their dreams. Art in any form should not be suppressed."

In another tweet, Sonakshi posted, "And this is definitely not the same tune you were singing when you wanted me to sing for you."

Sinha, it seems got confused with Amaal and Armaan. Hence Armaan explained to her on Twitter by telling, "You are mistaking me for @AmaalMallik he is the composer."

Defending herself, Sonakshi told, "Of course i know Amaal is the composer but i clearly remem u both coming up to me after an event a while bk asking to do a song together."

While the conversation was only between Sonakshi and Armaan, when the former wrote about Amaal, he too jumped into the war of words on Twitter. He posted, "I may have said let's collaborate, but @ArmaanMalik22 and I haven't attended any such event where we came up together & said this to you."

Sonakshi laughed off this tweet by Amaal and ended the tweet by writing, "good luck to you both."

But Armaan Malik wasn't convinced and later added, "I Agree with u sonakshi.. but I voiced what I felt about how singers are shunned in our country & given lesser importance than actors!!"

Interestingly, this is not the first time that the Malik brothers have voiced their opinion about singers, musicians and composers not being given importance. Lately, Amaal spoke up for lyricist Manoj Muntashir when he wasn't credited for his song in Half Girlfriend. Armaan too had reacted when Amaal's name had gone missing from an article when his song Gulaabi 2.0 form Sonakshi Sinha's Noor released.

Armaan Malik fights for brother Amaal!

Brothers of Music Industry Armaan Malik and Amaal Malik have often spoken their hearts out when something isn't right. They have expressed their sentiments without the fear of being judged. A similar case happened recently.

Amaal's newest track Gulaabi Aankhen from Noor released last night and has already been a hit with the audience. The video has clocked almost 3 million views and is sure to climb the music charts this week.

A famous tabloid carried a report about the song mentioning the details of it. But, they missed out on mentioning Amaal's name who is the singer and the composer of the song. The report mentions only Tulsi Kumar and Yash Narvekar's name along with lyricist Kumaar. While Amaal didn't react to this, the goof up didn't go down well with his brother Armaan Malik.

Armaan got on to Twitter and slammed the publication. He posted, "LOL you write 'Gulaabi Aankhein Goes EDM' & don't give credit to the person who made it happen. bow down @AmaalMallik you're above all this!"

Armaan further added, ".@AmaalMallik you're the KING bro! And just by the way #Gulabi is on 3 Mill."

We wonder what the makers of the movie have to react to it.

Directed by Sunhil Sippy and jointly produced by T-Series and Abundantia Entertainment, Noor stars Sonakshi Sinha in the lead and is scheduled to release on April 21, 2017. The film is an adaptation of Pakistani journalist and writer Saba Imtiaz's debut novel Karachi, You're Killing Me! In the film, Sonakshi, who plays the role of a journalist, is shown dealing with her set of issues and is finding her way in life!
