Sajjad Ali clears the air about his claim that Bollywood copied his song

• Sajjad Ali claimed that some recent music reminded him of an old song.
• He said he wasn’t criticizing any particular musician or song.
• The singer said he didn’t need to engage in showmanship to gain fame.

Pakistani singer Sajjad Ali made it clear to his followers that he wasn’t blaming anyone or accusing them of borrowing his song “Ab Ke Hum Bicharay” in the Bollywood song “Besharam Rang” as their own. The musician shared a video clip on Instagram a few days ago in which he claimed that some recent music had reminded him of an old song he had written.

Sajjad Ali said in a video he made on Tuesday that he wasn’t criticizing any particular musician or song or asserting that they had plagiarized it.

“After watching my previous video, many people started saying that ‘Sajjad Ali is claiming his song has been copied’. First of all, when did I even say this? Please see the clip again and observe how I never uttered any singer’s name, never called out any song, music director or even actor,” the legendary singer pleaded.

The tune of the song reminded Ali of his own music, which is why he made the video, according to Ali.

“I actually said that I was reminded of Ab Ke Hum Bichare while listening to some of the latest music in cinema. Why did it remind me of my song? Because 80% of the tunes made on raag bhairavi sound pretty similar to each other. I have also curated multiple songs on the same raag, therefore the tunes reminded me of them,” he added.

Ali went on to say that, contrary to what many of the detractors were saying, he didn’t have to engage in showmanship in order to become famous.

The singer further concluded, “To the people who are suggesting that I made such statements to gain fame, I’ll remind everyone that, Alhamdulillah, I am already pretty popular and don’t need to perform any theatrics to gain attention. I have many fans and never get involved in controversies because I always mind my own business. When many of my songs were actually copied in the 90s, I never made any public claims and hopefully I will do the same in the future.”

At the end of the video, Sajjad Ali urged his fans to do their research before spreading rumors.

“The problem is we don’t understand these technicalities of music because we have the passion for arts but lack the required knowledge of it. So, please my fellow brothers, when you don’t have an understanding of a topic, don’t go on to pass such comments.”
