Shah Rukh Khan is the undisputed king of romance in Bollywood, and there is no doubt about it. Over the decades, the superstar has kept making his fans’ hearts skip a beat with his charismatic presence. But his journey to stardom wasn’t an easy one. Just like other big names in the film industry, Shah Rukh Khan also had a humble beginning. From his small screen debut in Fauji to becoming the ultimate ‘Baadshah’ of B-town, his path to recognition was nothing short of extraordinary. He has proven his mettle by seamlessly transitioning between roles. Whether it’s a passionate lover, a menacing anti-hero, a comic lead or a rugged action hero, King Khan has done it all. But his lover-boy persona is everyone’s favourite. But have you ever wondered who made Shah Rukh Khan’s onscreen romance even more captivating? It was none other than Abhijeet Bhattacharya, whose soulful voice made audiences fall in love. Born on October 30, 1958, in Kanpur, Abhijeet had an interest in music from a young age. Even during his school and college days, Abhijeet captivated audiences with his soothing voice. Abhijeet moved to Mumbai in 1981 to study chartered accountancy, but destiny had other plans. His passion for music soon took centre stage. At that time, he received a call from music composer RD Burman, and rest is history. Abhijeet also sang for Akshay Kumar, Ajay Devgn and Salman Khan in his career. Remember Pyaar To Hona Hi Tha? Abhijeet’s voice perfectly matched Shah Rukh Khan’s on-screen persona, creating some of the most memorable romantic tracks. From Main Koi Aisa Geet Gaoon to Chalte Chalte, the songs captured the essence of love and longing. Decades later, Abhijeet Bhattacharya shared about his decision to no longer sing for Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan.
