However, Singh's wife Shalini, in an interview with a leading daily, clarified that the rumours were false and instead SRK supported them a lot. 

Makhna

Back in 2019, the singer was criticised for the lyrics of the song Makhna from the Sidharth Malhotra starrer Marjaavaan.

‘Main hoon Balatkari'  song
