Singer Abhijeet Bhattacharya comments on SRK

Playback singer Abhijeet Bhattacharya has ruled the roost in late 90's and  early 2000's. He sang for several Iconic songs for Shah Rukh Khan during early stage of Shah Rukh in films. To note some of their most celebrated songs are From “Badi Mushkil Hai” in Anjaam, “Zara Sa Jhoom Loon Mein” in Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge, and “Main Koi Aisa Geet” in Yes Boss to the title track in Baadshah, “Tumhe Jo Maine Dekha” in Main Hoon Na, and “Dhoom Taana” in Om Shanti Om, the duo’s musical partnership has been truly iconic.

But, Abhijeeth has never lent his voice to Shah Rukh Khan after Billu (2009). Speaking to a YouTube channel, Abhijeeth revealed that, though he tried to resolve the personal differences between them a couple of times, the singer noted that his efforts went in vain. He also added that Shah Rukh is a very commercial person who will use others and remove anyone from his path to success.

But, Abhijeeth heaps praises on Shah Rukh Khan when it comes to being a nationalist. He said that, labelling him as anti-national is very wrong. Many have attempted to do so, but there is no bigger nationalist than Shah Rukh Khan. “Among the Khans, Shah Rukh Khan is the only nationalist. Others don’t really have anything to do with the nation,” he asserted.

Abhijeet Bhattacharya started his career by singing alongside Asha Bhosle in a song composed by RD Burman for the Bengali movie Aparupa (1982), and went on to lend his voice to over 1,000 films.
