Satinder Sartaj spoke about the controversy
Singer Satinder Sartaj said in a conversation with Aaj Tak- ‘The music director of this song Tanishq Bagchi had sent me a message on social media. I did not see that message for a year, a year and a half, then one day I saw the message and replied to him. Our conversation started from here. Recently I got a message from him that Paaji, this is my first film as a music director. It will be an honor for me if you sing a song from it.’
Sang self-composed songs- Satinder
Satinder further said- ‘Before listening to this proposal, I had not sung any song which I had not composed myself. I have received many proposals but I have refused all of them. Many times I have dubbed the songs and sent them to the director, but also wrote a note that you will find a better singer than me. But this time I could not refuse Tanishq. I had a show the next day in the evening. I had a lot of time that afternoon. I told him that I would dub it, I have a studio at my home. I recorded the song and sent it.’
I had forgotten about the release of the song- Satinder
I had forgotten about the release of the song. At the time when this song was released, I had a concert in Hyderabad, then a notification came at night, about which my team told me that a notification had come from Saregama, and I should check it once. Then I came to know that this song has been released. After the release of the song, Tanishq congratulated me. Akshay Kumar also called me. This is the whole story which is mine. I don’t know in whose voice it has been recorded.’
