Lucky Ali apologises after targeting Javed Akhtar for 'Hindu-Muslim' comment

Singer Lucky Ali recently courted controversy after calling out Javed Akhtar over a controversial Hindu-Muslim remark from a past event that resurfaced online. While some supported his remarks, others hailed his comment as distasteful. After this became a social media chatter, the O Sanam singer apologised to the veteran lyricist-poet.

It all began when an X (formerly Twitter) user shared Javed Akhtar’s quote urging Hindus “not to be like Muslims" in a year-old interview for IFP



(India Film Project). Why the old video is going viral now is not known yet.

Though Javed Akhtar didn't react to Lucky Ali's remarks, the latter apologised on a separate X post. However, a section of social media users were of the opinion that Lucky was sarcastic in his apology. "What I meant was that arrogance is ugly.... it was a mistaken  communique' on my part....  monsters may have feelings  too and I apologise if I hurt anyones monstrosity (sic)."
