\"'Shah Abhijeet Bhattacharya<\/a>, long regarded as one of the signature playback voices for Shah Rukh Khan<\/a> in the \u201990s and early 2000s, has once again spoken about the fallout between them. In a recent podcast, the singer revisited the reasons behind their strained relationship, describing it as a mix of emotional hurt and unresolved issues. He has previously maintained that he felt sidelined and denied due credit, particularly during the film ‘Main Hoon Na’, which starred and was produced by Shah Rukh.Abhijeet candidly addressed the root of their rift. He said in an interview with Nidhi Vasandani, \u201cShah Rukh Khan\u2019s ego and my self-respect are the reasons for the rift. Shah Rukh is younger than me, yet when Farah Khan\u2019s husband abused him so much, Shah Rukh still hugged him. Aamir Khan<\/a> even named a dog after Shah Rukh, and the two of them still became friends.\u201dFor the singer, the absence of an apology remained a major point of pain. \u201cWhat hurt me was that you couldn\u2019t even say sorry once. You are such a big person, yet no apology. The blunder you made, just remember, something like this will happen to you too, maybe in your own home production,\u201d he added.Abhijeet dismissed suggestions that his stance stemmed from ego, insisting it came from a place of emotional investment. \u201cI was very proud, I had stopped singing for others. I felt I was Shah Rukh\u2019s voice and wouldn\u2019t sing for anyone else. This isn\u2019t ego, it\u2019s deep hurt.\u201dHe also recalled moments where he felt overlooked despite being present. \u201cWhen I saw him hugging everyone, I was sitting right there too. He could have just said, \u2018Come on, Abhijeet, let it go.\u2019 He could have done at least that.\u201dResponding to claims that people invoke Shah Rukh\u2019s name for attention, Abhijeet said, \u201cIt\u2019s not that I want to sing for you. You say people are using your name for publicity. Why would I use your name when you are using my voice? That\u2019s the pain.\u201dReflecting on how he might have handled things differently, he said, \u201cIf I had made such a mistake, if I were Shah Rukh, I would have gone to his house, grabbed his collar and said, \u2018Come on, let it go.\u2019\u201d He further remarked, \u201cThis is very petty behaviour. My songs will be heard for life. Today, people don\u2019t even know who Rajesh Khanna was, despite him being such a big superstar. They listen to Kishore Kumar and Rafi, but don\u2019t know those songs were picturised on Rajesh Khanna. You and I may know, but the next generation won\u2019t.\u201dDespite everything, the singer left the door open for reconciliation. \u201cIf there is a patch-up, the kind of voice Shah Rukh needs, no one can give him that. I can give him an even better voice than before.\u201d Speaking earlier to ANI about where things stand now, he said, \u201cKoi relationship hi nahi hai. I have met him a few times, but just for hello or hi greetings. Haven\u2019t sat and talked to him properly like I am doing with you right now.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Abhijeet Bhattacharya, long regarded as one of the signature playback voices for Shah Rukh Khan in the \u201990s…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":461612,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[263],"tags":[10111,170472,202965,202966,18,117,19,17,202967,25777,327,28493,3770],"class_list":{"0":"post-461611","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-movies","8":"tag-aamir-khan","9":"tag-abhijeet-bhattacharya","10":"tag-bollywood-fallout","11":"tag-ego-and-self-respect","12":"tag-eire","13":"tag-entertainment","14":"tag-ie","15":"tag-ireland","16":"tag-lashkar-e-taiba","17":"tag-main-hoon-na","18":"tag-movies","19":"tag-reconciliation","20":"tag-shah-rukh-khan"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@ie\/116494314562330203","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/461611","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=461611"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/461611\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/461612"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=461611"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=461611"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=461611"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
