It's hard to recall when the practice of actors singing their own songs started. However, this seems to have irked some of the artists of the Hindi film industry. On the talk shows, seeing the controversy grow, he took to his Twitter account to clarify what he meant and why the statement shouldn't be blown out of proportion. Take a look:

I meant simply that it was not well worked upon, which is actually the engineer’s job.@sonakshisinha This news is being twisted & has come across as completely wrong.@renilabraham_ @ZoomTV rectify this#Bullshit @TheDailyPioneer https://t.co/EZPuaL2Wuj

Coming back to the issue that happened in 2017, Mallik expressed his concern when he got to know Sinha would also be performing at the Justin Bieber concert. He said, "My fans did the work for me during the Twitter banter with Sonakshi. People don't like people who have a voice. People are not very vocal about their feelings in this industry."
