’s most memorable songs together. But in recent years, the singer has repeatedly made it clear that things are no longer smooth between them. In his latest interview, Abhijeet didn’t hold back as he once again took a jibe at the superstar. This time around, he was sarcastic and how!
Once called SRK’s voice in Bollywood
In the 1990s and 2000s, Abhijeet was one of Bollywood’s top playback singers. His voice played a major role in the success of many songs that featured Shah Rukh Khan on screen. Hits like ‘Zara Sa Jhoom Loon Mein’, ‘Wada Raha Sanam’, ‘Baadshah O Baadshah’, ‘Woh Ladki Jo Saab Se’, and ‘

Tauba Tumhare Ye Ishaare

’ were all sung by him. His voice became so closely linked with Shah Rukh that fans often believed it was SRK singing. But behind the scenes, things weren’t quite as perfect.
‘Shah Rukh sang this song, Shah Rukh wrote this song…’

In a recent interview with ANI, Abhijeet was asked about the awkwardness between him and Shah Rukh. He responded with heavy sarcasm, hinting that he felt sidelined despite contributing to the actor’s musical legacy.
He said, “We’re like twins, I mean, it seems that way with the voice. Now I realise that all these songs aren’t mine. Shah Rukh sang this song, Shah Rukh wrote this song, Shah Rukh composed the music, Shah Rukh made the film, Shah Rukh is the cinematographer. Everything is Shah Rukh. What can I do? People tell me it’s Shah Rukh’s song, and then I realise, oh, right, it’s not mine. Sab kuch woh hi hai toh bhai main kya karun (He is everything, so what am I)?”

‘Chalte Chalte was average, only the songs worked’
Abhijeet also shared his thoughts on the 2003 film ‘Chalte Chalte’, where he sang the popular number ‘Tauba Tumhare Ye Ishaare’. The film starred Shah Rukh Khan and Rani Mukerji and had a well-loved soundtrack. But according to Abhijeet, it was only the songs that made an impact.
“Chalte Chalte film average hi thi, gaane hit the, sirf gaane hi hit the, par ab kya kar sakte hain,” he said, meaning “Chalte Chalte was an average film, only the songs were hit, but what can be done.”
