The famous musical duo Sachet-Parampara have finally spoken up about the recent controversies related to the song Bekhayali from Sandeep Reddy Vanga's blockbuster Kabir Singh. Taking to Instagram, the musical duo accused composer Amaal Mallik of claiming the song was his time and again and maintained that the truth needs to be acknowledged.
In their post, they wrote, “Warning. This video could have been a 10-second video, also proving all rumours false, but for our mental peace, exposing some people was very important. @amaal_mallik SHAME ON YOU AMAAL MALIK.”

Duo clarifies creation of 'Bekhayali'
In a video message, Sachet-Parampara said, “This is regarding Mr Amaal Mallik. Actually, we never thought that we would have to clarify all these things, but this is something that we purely created. We are talking about ‘Bekhayali’, which Amaal Mallik claims he made some time ago.” They shared that they have chats with both Amaal Mallik and the Kabir Singh team proving their claim.
The duo also reacted to old claims that they had received undue advantages because of T-Series. They ironed out the details, “We were never with T-Series, we were never part of T-Series before ‘Kabir Singh’ happened. And I think he has been part of T-Series since 2015, if we are not wrong.”
Recalling Amaal’s praise
He said, “We are outsiders; why would anyone favour us? Or if we have come from a small town, would someone play their song for us and expect us to make a song like that? Are you serious, Amaal Mallik? Also, let's assume that if you want to say we stole your song, then why were you congratulating us after the release? You were the first one texting me, saying you were waiting for our song and...”
Sachet-Parampara added that Amaal had complimented the song in the first place. “He said, 'Your Bekhayali was so fab,' when we first met. So why speak up eight years later?” They clarified that the song was composed in front of Shahid Kapoor and director Sandeep Reddy Vanga, along with recordings to prove it.
Demand public apology
The duo further demanded a public apology from Amaal, adding, “Just because these days accusations are like this, if you accuse someone, that person is deemed wrong. Please follow the truth and then tell someone if they are wrong or right. This could happen to us or anyone. We are not the kind of people who keep cribbing all the time or keep saying something wrong. I think it's better.”

Background of the controversy
The controversy started in July when Amaal Mallik told RJ Siddharth Kannan that Bekhayali used his musical references he had shared on WhatsApp. He claimed he had worked on the entire Kabir Singh album but ended up doing only one track. The video by Sachet-Parampara is an answer to all this as it shows how the song was completely an original by them.
