Oberoi’s Video Draws Quick Backlash
Oberoi posted a car video where he mouths the lyrics of Tere Liye. He praised the song and credited the producer, lyricist, director, and Shreya Ghoshal.
Fans soon pointed out one thing: Atif Aslam’s name was missing.
Pakistani artists cannot be tagged on Indian platforms. But fans argued that Oberoi could still have written Aslam’s name. They felt the missing credit was a choice rather than a technical issue.
A Familiar Issue in Indian Entertainment
The debate grew fast. Many said this was another example of Pakistani artists being praised in private but ignored in public. Ironically, the video became one of Oberoi’s most-watched posts and crossed millions of views.
The missing credit reopened a long-running conversation about fair recognition. One short video has now turned into a wider discussion on cross-border artistry and respect.
