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 Bollywood song ‘Besharam Rang’ as their own. Musician shared video clip on Instagram 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 video he made that he wasn’t criticising any particular musician or song or asserting that they had plagiarised 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 clip again and observe how I never uttered any singer’s name, never called out any song, music director or even actor,” singer pleaded. Tune of song reminded Ali of his own music, which is why he made video, according to Ali. “I actually said that I was reminded of Ab Ke Hum Bichare while listening to some of latest music in cinema. Why did it remind me of my song? Because 80 percent of tunes made on raag bhairavi sound pretty similar to each other. I have also curated multiple songs on same raag, therefore tunes reminded me of them,” he added.–Agencies
