Shah Rukh Khan has given several brilliant performances to the world in his career of over three decades. All his performances have one thing in common: as much as we love the actor, we equally love the songs in his films. However, when we credit the songs its obvious that the voice behind those songs need to be paid it’s respect to as well and many of Shah Rukh Khan’s songs in the 1990s were crooned by singer, Abhijeet Bhattacharya.
Lalit Pandit reveals that Shah Rukh Khan’s part of I Am The Best was the actor’s idea and not Abhijeet Bhattacharya’s
Abhijeet Bhattacharya and Lalit Pandit made an appearance on the reality singing show, Indian Idol. During the episode, the singer, Abhijeet, claimed that while recording the song I Am The Best for the film, Phir Bhi Dil Hai Hindustani, he came up with the idea that Shah Rukh Khan should do the last bit of the song where he sings ‘Oh yes yes, sing it again’. Abhijeet was quoted saying:
“When we were recording it, I did a portion on top of the chorus where I said, ‘Oh yeah, I am the best.’ Then, I suggested to Lalit that Shah Rukh should do it. And within one hour, Shah Rukh was there, and he did it.”
