Once upon a time, Abhijeet Bhattacharya was the playback voice to Shah Rukh Khan. He has crooned some of the hit numbers like, 'Chalte Chalte', 'Mai Koi Aisa Geet Gaun' and many others for the superstar. The singer is quite vocal on social media about political and national issues. Abhishek Bhattacharya's aggressive comments were such that his Twitter account got suspended twice. However, at India Today's Saifaigiri Summit and Awards 2018, Bhattacharya was asked about his absence from the playback world. 

At the Summit, he has questioned the reason behind not singing for Shah Rukh Khan anymore. To which, Abhijeet Bhattacharya said, "I made superstars with my voice. Till the time I sang for Shah Rukh Khan, he was a rock star. When I stopped singing for him, he came down to Lungi Dance."
