00:00 Renowned Bollywood playback singer Abhijit Bhattacharya, known for his melodious chart-toppers,
00:06 recently shared intriguing details about his past association with superstar Shah Rukh
00:11 Khan and his perspective on SRK's patriotism in an exclusive interview with Lehre.
00:18 In the early days of his career, Abhijit lent his voice to numerous Shah Rukh Khan star
00:23 actors, delivering memorable hits like Hum Toh Diwane Hoey and Wo Ladki Jo. However,
00:30 their collaboration eventually sagged, leading to Abhijit ceasing to sing for the actor.
00:36 During the interview, Abhijit made a startling revelation about SRK's character. He said,
00:41 "What has happened has happened. One is pride, the other is self-esteem, the other is ego,
00:54 the other is self-respect. Shah Rukh Khan has built it on his own. The self-respect and
01:01 self-esteem in him is the same in me. He is a Scorpion, our date is one day back. Mine
01:08 is 30th October and his is 2nd November or 1st November. We are the same in nature. So,
01:16 I am not proud but I am self-respectful." Abhijit went on to clarify his previous remarks
01:26 about SRK's commercial attitude, stating, "I tried a few times to clear this, but Shah
01:47 Rukh Khan is not a nationalist." In a surprising twist, Abhijit praised SRK for promoting Indian
02:03 culture in his films, emphasising that the actor has made significant contributions to
02:09 showcasing Hindu culture on screen. Furthermore, Abhijit asserted that Shah Rukh Khan stands
02:15 out as a true nationalist among the Khan, implying the other Khans may not share the
02:21 same level of nationalistic enthusiasm.
