Enraged
over
a
dialogue
about
his
father
and
iconic
singer
Mohammad
Rafi
in
Karan
Johar's
latest
"Ae
Dil
Hai
Mushkil",
Shahid
Rafi
has
demanded
a
public
apology
from
the
filmmaker
and
has
asked
him
to
delete
the
sequence.
In
the
recently
released
romantic-drama,
Ranbir
Kapoor's
character,
aspiring
singer
Ayan,
tells
Anushka
Sharma
(playing
Alizeh),
that
many
people
have
said
his
voice
is
like
Rafi,
to
which,
Sharma
says,
"Mohammad
Rafi?
Woh
gaate
kam,
rote
zyada
the
na?"
Shahid
says
he
did
not
expect
a
filmmaker
like
Johar
to
pass
such
a
line
under
his
watch
and
feels
the
damage
has
already
been
done.
"Karan
Johar
is
a
great
filmmaker,
I
don't
know
how
he
used
this
line.
He
should
have
thought
about
it
as
he
is
the
director.
I
did
not
expect
this
from
Karan.
I
am
ashamed
of
him,
he
is
supposed
to
be
a
good
director," Shahid
told
PTI.
"I
saw
the
clipping.
I
haven't
seen
the
film,
so
let
me
see
the
film
first
then
I
will
think
what
to
do.
But
a
public
apology
(from
Johar)
is
appreciated,
and
also
removal
of
the
scene.
Although
the
damage
is
done.
Let's
see
what
he
(Karan)
can
do
from
his
side,"
he
added.
Shahid
says
he
got
to
know
about
the
dialogue
through
Rafi
fans
and
was
deeply
saddened
by
it.
"I
am
deeply
hurt
about
the
dialogue.
I
came
to
know
that
the
dialguge
doesn't
take
the
story
backward
or
forward.
People
have
often
mentioned
or
spoken
about
my
father
in
films
or
in
general
in
good
way,
then
why
all
of
a
sudden
this
dialogue
and
this
controversy."
Shahid
has
also
lashed
out
at
"Ae
Dil
Hai
Mushkil" dialogue
writer
Niranjan
Iyengar.
"It
(the
dialogue)
is
not
good.
My
father
is
a
verstaile
singer,
he
has
sung
love
songs,
sad
songs,
bhajan
etc.
Niranjan
wrote
the
dialogue
and
it
seems
he
doesn't
know
anything
about
my
father.
What
image
(of
Rafi)
is
he
trying
to
put
in
front
of
the
youth
?
"Even
after
more
than
36
years,
people
still
remember
my
father,
he
is
a
legend.
So
many
shows
take
place
in
his
memory..
He
has
huge
fan
following.
He
(Niranjan)
doesn't
know
what
he
is
doing."
Shahid
said
he
is
yet
to
talk
to
Johar
regarding
the
issue.
Interestingly,
the
title
of
the
Ranbir
Kapoor-starrer
also
comes
from
the
opening
verse
of
the
popular
song
"Ai
Dil
Hai
Mushkil
Jeena
Yahaan",
which
was
sung
by
Rafi
for
the
1956
film
'C.I.D.'
The
legendary
singer,
who
died
in
1980,
also
sang
for
the
first
Dharma
Productions
film,
"Dostana" which
was
directed
by
Yash
Johar.
