The singer, without taking names, said, “Kayi log kehte hain ki wo mere bhai hain. Kayi log kehte hain ki mera comeback nahi ho raha. Aur phir kehte hain wo mere gaane likhte the. Aur phir kehte hain ki wo meri takdeer likh denge.” (Translation: “Many people say they are my brothers. They also say I will never make a comeback. Then, they claimed they wrote songs for me. Then they also said they would write my destiny.”)
