‘Shah Rukh Khan’s ego and my self-respect’: Singer Abhijeet Bhattacharya opens up on years-long falling out with actor
Abhijeet Bhattacharya revisited his falling out with Shah Rukh Khan and said the rift stemmed from a clash between the superstar’s ego and his own self-respect.
May 1, 2026, 10:57:16 IST By Akanksha Agnihotri Share via Copy link Abhijeet Bhattacharya has once again opened up about his strained relationship with Shah Rukh Khan, years after the two stopped collaborating professionally. The singer, whose voice became closely associated with Shah Rukh’s on-screen persona through the 1990s and early 2000s, said their falling out stemmed from “ego” and “self-respect,” while also admitting that the lack of an apology from the superstar deeply hurt him.

Speaking on a podcast to Nidhi Vasandani, “Shah Rukh Khan’s ego and my self-respect are the reasons for the rift. Shah Rukh is younger than me, yet when Farah Khan’s husband abused him so much, Shah Rukh still hugged him. Aamir Khan even named a dog after Shah Rukh, and the two of them still became friends.” The singer shared that what troubled him most was the lack of acknowledgement after what he considered a mistake. “What hurt me was that you couldn’t even say sorry once. You are such a big person, yet no apology,” he said, adding that the experience left a lasting emotional impact on him. The singer also clarified that distancing himself from Shah Rukh’s projects was not driven by arrogance but by personal disappointment. He explained that at one point, he had stopped singing for other actors because he strongly associated his voice with Shah Rukh on screen and felt emotionally invested in that collaboration.Abhijeet says he felt ignored
Recalling moments from the past, Abhijeet said he often felt sidelined despite being present around the actor. He added that a small gesture from Shah Rukh could have helped resolve the tension between them. Responding to claims that people use Shah Rukh Khan’s name for publicity, the singer said he had no reason to seek attention through the superstar’s name, adding that it was his voice that had contributed to many memorable songs associated with Shah Rukh’s screen image. Despite the bitterness surrounding their fallout, Abhijeet did not completely rule out the possibility of reconciliation. He said that if they were ever to patch things up, he still believed he could provide the kind of voice that best suited Shah Rukh’s on-screen persona. Last year, during an interaction with ANI, the singer had also spoken about their current equation, stating that they no longer share any real relationship beyond occasional greetings at public events.About Abhijeet and Shah Rukh Khan’s collaboration

However, their professional association reportedly ended after Billu. Over the years, Abhijeet has repeatedly maintained that the fallout was linked to a lack of proper recognition and credit, particularly during the making of Main Hoon Na, which he said hurt his self-respect.
