Singer Abhijit Bhattacharya recently spoke about his fight with Shah Rukh Khan. He said the real problem is not dissent, but trolling. Abhijeet also admitted that after achieving success, he turned down many offers and lost his mental state, especially when his work with Shah Rukh Khan started to pick up.
During a conversation with Bollywood Thikana, Abhijeet was asked why he doesn't mend relations with Shah Rukh Khan and sing for him again. In response, Abhijit said, 'It was necessary to bring these differences to the fore. If this was not the case, how would the 'Lungi Dance' have come into existence? Shah Rukh can compose and sing his own songs, and even people recognize my songs as Shah Rukh Khan's songs.'
He also said, 'We are not fighting, but some people are interfering in this matter and making it worse.'
According to Abhijit, when he started getting huge success with Shah Rukh Khan films, he started flying. He changed a lot after the movie 'Yes Boss'. He used to do only selected songs. Many times he lied to avoid difficult situations. But he was too loyal to be Shahrukh's voice.
Abhijit said that he felt very comfortable singing for Shah Rukh Khan. Had he received an offer to sing for any other star, he would have refused.
Why did Shahrukh-Abhijit fight? In fact, Abhijeet sang the song 'Tumhe Jo Main Dekha' in the 2004 film 'Main Hoon Na', which starred Shah Rukh Khan. Singer said that the spotboy, hairdresser and assistant dress makers were credited in the film, but Singer's name was nowhere to be found.
Abhijeet has voiced for Shah Rukh Khan in many films like 'Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge', 'Yes Bose', 'Baadshah' to 'Main Hoon Na', 'Om Shanti Om'.
