Abhijeet Bhattacharya salty about ‘Dua Lipa x SRK’ track going viral? Amplifies posts about not getting credit

Singer Dua Lipa performed live in Mumbai on Saturday, and one of the highlights of the performance was when she performed a fan-made mashup of her song Levitating and actor Shah Rukh Khan’s famous track Woh Ladki Jo from his film Baadshah. But it seems the singer of the song Abhijeet Bhattacharya is not pleased for being omitted in the discussion.

What Abhijeet shared

The singer took to his Instagram Stories to re-share and amplify fan statements which added that the song was not about Shah Rukh but it was the singer’s rendition that rendered it so timeless. Yet he was nowhere mentioned or credited in the social media frenzy surrounding the mashup, which has now even reached Dua Lipa.

In one of the posts, the statement read, “Song is hit and popular because of legends like Abhijeet and Anu Malik!” Another statement read, “The problem is that no one talks about it. What happened to- Woh Ladki Jo- Abhijeet? Unfortunately we live in a country where not one news outlet or Instagram page has mentioned the voice and the artists of this song. Why has it always been about actors in this country? I’m sure when @dualipa heard this song she must have heard it and not seen it and not appreciated the man that has sung this song and yes it is not SRK. It is @abhijeetbhattacharya and @anumalikmusic. Im sorry but this song is called Woh Ladki Jo sabse alag hai- Abhijeet wherever you search it. but somehow the media in this country never lets a singer get his due and then people ask me why don’t you try and sing for Bollywood.”

It concluded by adding: “This is not about Shah Rukh Khan I’m his biggest fan ever. This is about our audience and about our media who don’t support the singers of our country like they do in the west.”
