Bollywood superstar Salman Khan, who enjoys a massive fan following, has recently found himself at the center of a social media storm following the release of his new single, “You Are Mine.” Composed by Vishal Mishra and featuring Ayaan Agnihotri, also known as Agni, the song dropped just yesterday but has already garnered a wave of negative reactions from fans. Usually quick to defend their idol, Salman Khan’s fans have this time expressed overwhelming disappointment, making it clear that they were let down by their beloved ‘Bhai’.
The anticipation was high as fans rushed to listen to “You Are Mine,” expecting a memorable romantic ballad. However, what they encountered instead was an uninspiring effort that left them questioning Salman’s creative choices. The feedback on social media platforms has been far from positive. Comments ranged from polite criticism to outright confusion, encapsulating the sentiment that this time, Salman might have missed the mark.
One fan commented, “Bhai needs critics around… unko koi batane ki himmat hi nahi kar raha ki kya kar rahe (No one has the audacity to tell him what he should be doing) #justiceforbhai.” Another fan simply asked, “Why Bhai, Why?” accompanied by a sad emoji. The sentiment was echoed across numerous posts, with fans expressing a mix of despair and confusion over Salman’s latest artistic venture.
On Instagram, Salman Khan shared a clip of the song, energetically promoting it as “Party Fever Out Now! Everywhere.” He introduced Ayaan Agnihotri, who is the son of Salman’s sister Alvira, with his characteristic swag. Despite his efforts to hype up the release, the reception was overwhelmingly negative.
Additional comments on the post included, “Bhai, aap Dhinchak Pooja ke sath rehna chhod do (Keep away from Dhinchak Pooja). You’re mine, kya kar rahe ho (What are you doing)? Bhai, we need the old Salman Khan,” the comment punctuated with fire and red heart emojis. Another consternated fan tried to maintain a loyal stance but couldn’t hide their dissatisfaction, writing, “Apka loyal fan hun, isliye negative comment nahi karta. Allah apko achi health de. Hum apko kisi se kam nahi dekhna chahte. Hamara Salman Khan sabse upper rahe (I’m your loyal fan, so I won’t leave a negative comment.
. May God give you good health. We don’t want to see you lesser than anyone. May Salman Khan stay at the top).” Yet another perplexed fan remarked, “Seriously, seriously,” accompanied by laughing with tears emojis.
The backlash doesn’t seem to be limited to a faction of fans; rather, it’s widespread and diverse. From long-time admirers to casual listeners, the overall consensus appears to be that “You Are Mine” is a rare misstep from a superstar who has generally managed to stay in favor with his fanbase, regardless of the project.
Despite the controversy surrounding his musical endeavor, Salman Khan continues to steer full speed ahead in his cinematic career. On the film front, the star is gearing up for his upcoming project, ‘Sikandar’. The movie marks the reunion of Salman Khan with esteemed producer Sajid Nadiadwala, their previous collaborations including box-office hits such as ‘Kick’, ‘Judwaa’, and ‘Mujhse Shaadi Karogi’. Directed by A.R. Murugadoss, ‘Sikandar’ is slated for an Eid release next year.
Recently, Salman shared a picture from the sets of ‘Sikandar’, stoking excitement among fans. In the image, he sports a light blue shirt and is seen smiling at a screen nearby, clearly in good spirits and focusing on his next big project.
As the storm around “You Are Mine” continues to brew, it will be interesting to see how Salman handles the backlash. His ability to bounce back from previous controversies and maintain his stature as one of Bollywood’s top actors will likely serve him well in navigating this latest setback.
While the song may not have been received as Salman Khan had hoped, his loyal fanbase remains engaged, eagerly awaiting his next cinematic appearance. Whether he will address the disappointing reception of “You Are Mine” or simply move forward remains to be seen. For now, all eyes are on his Instagram and other social media platforms for any indication of his next move.
