Shah Rukh Khan is a Superstar Only Because of My Voice, Says Singer Abhijeet Bhattacharya!

Abhijeet Bhattacharya's controversial statements are nothing new to the fans now. He ruled the 90s and early 2000 eras with his soulful voice. However, his major hits were those which were filmed on Shah Rukh Khan, adding a cherry on the cake! However, during a recent shocking statement, the singer said that he made SRK a superstar with his voice and without him has reduced to lungi dance! Well, that's something really amusing said by the former singing sensation this time!

As reported in Times Now, he said at a media event, "I made superstars with my voice. Till the time I sang for Shah Rukh Khan, he was a rock star. When I stopped singing for him - and I stopped singing for him - he came down to Lungi Dance.” This was not the only thing that he said. He also further told the exact reason why he does not sing anymore for King Khan!

"It was a very small reason I stopped singing for Shah Rukh. In Main Hoon Na, they showed everyone from a spot boy to everyone else, but the singers. The same thing happened with Om Shanti Om. Stars sang Dhoom Tana. “It was my voice. But it wasn't shown anywhere. The self-respect was hurt. Why should I ask them to add my name? The problem is I don't lack anything. So why should I ask for this?" Abhijeet Bhattacharya Booked for Verbally Abusing a Woman Over Phone, Singer Retorts

He did sing some beautiful songs for SRK like "Chalte Chalte", "Main Koi Aisa Geet Gaaun", "Zara Sa Jhoom Lu Main", "Tauba Tumhare Ye Ishaare", "Tumhe Jo Maine Dekha", "Baadhah O Baashah" to name a few. However, is that the only reason why Shah Rukh Khan is the heartbeat of the film lovers? You know the answer!
