Popular singer Shehzad Roy has defended his latest song which is stirring up some controversy… he said that the song “Sali tu Mani Nahin” is not intended to, and does not, offend our cultural sensibilities or decorum. “The character I play in this video is that of a neighbourhood boy who is in love with the Sali and is heartbroken because she would not agree to marry him, hence the title of the song,” says Roy. The word “Sali” is used very commonly and with no negative connotations whatsoever.
