dispute
Indian singer Saleem Merchant accused of plagiarism
In 2019, Farhan strongly condemned Indian singer Salim Merchant for plagiarizing notes from his song “Roiyaan” in the Hindi song “Haareya”. Farhan took to Twitter to talk about the incident, tweeting,
Someone just sent me @salim_merchant the song HAREYA which is a complete copy of my song ROIYAAN. I wonder how they have the audacity to call themselves artists when they steal other people’s work. Karna hi hai to pooch ke kuro aur ager poochna nahin hai to at least acha to kuro! #stopsteal
Salim Merchant read his tweet and retweeted,
Farhan, I just heard your song. It’s just a coincidence that the chorus of Haareya sounds like your song. To be honest I’ve never heard of it before. This often happens when there is a natural progression between notes. @Sulaiman and I have a track record of never plagiarizing. “

Farhan still didn’t calm down after reading the tweet. He retweeted,
@salim_merchant If you say so! Another coincidence is that we have the same lyricist! Anyway, good luck! “
Later, Salim tweeted,
Why don’t you go check with him! If I had to plagiarize, I would have done so early in my career. I wish I had heard your song before writing mine. Definitely changes our compositions to sound different from yours. Anyway, hope you understand. “
