Anil Kapoor recently celebrated 26 years of his film Pukar with a heartfelt tribute post on social media. The actor shared his favourite song from the film, Sunta Hai Mera Khuda, on X. However, fans noticed that he missed tagging the track's singers in his post.
An X user called out Anil for not mentioning Udit Narayan and Kavita Krishnamurthy. He wrote, “It's a shame sir that u have mentioned in your tweet except the singers. Feels like 90's era singers in B'wood are treated like 2nd class citizens.” The actor was quick to issue an apology and wrote, “I am sorry will repost it with both their names."
Anil re-shared his tribute post, this time tagging all the talented artists involved in the iconic song from Pukar. The post featured a clip from the song. The side note read, "My favourite song from Pukar… Playing it on repeat today! #26yearsofPukar."
