 "'Mahatma Gandhi was Pakistan's father of nation, RD Burman was bigger than...': Abhijeet Bhattacharya")
Abhijeet Bhattacharya, who has crooned several songs featuring Shah Rukh Khan like Main Koi Aisa Geet Gaaon, Tumhe Jo Maine Dekha, Dhum Taana, Tauba Tumhare Yeh Ishaare and Suno Na Suno Na among others, has stirred controversy by calling Mahatma Gandhi ‘Father of Pakistan’.
“Pancham Da was bigger than Mahatma Gandhi. Like Mahatma Gandhi was the father of the nation, Pancham Da was the father of the nation in the world of music,” said Bhattacharya during an interaction with journalist Shubhankar Mishra on his podcast.
“Pancham Da (RD Burman) was bigger than Mahatma Gandhi, he was the Rashtrapita of music. Mahatma Gandhi was the Father of the Nation for Pakistan, not for India. India was always there. Pakistan was created. By mistake, Mahatma Gandhi was called the Father of Our Nation,” he added.
Apart from garnering the title of ‘Voice of SRK’, Abhijeet has crooned for stars like Mithun Chakraborty, Vijay Anand, Aamir Khan , Salman Khan, Saif Ali Khan, Sunny Deol, Sanjay Dutt, Govinda, Akshaye Khanna, Akshay Kumar, Sunil Shetty, Ajay Devgn, Hrithik Roshan, Ranbir Kapoor, Chandrachur Singh, Bobby Deol, Jitendra Kumar, Jimmy Shergill among others.
His tracks include Chandni Raat Hain, Dil Tujhpe Aa Gaya, Wada Raha Sanam, Khud Ko Kya Samajhti Hai, Bole Bole Dil Mera Dole, Darwaza Band Karlo, Ole Ole, Main Khiladi Tu Anari, A Aa E Ee, Badi Mushkil Hai, Zara Sa Jhoom Loon Mein, Goriya Chura Na, Aankhon Main Base Ho Tum, Deewana Deewana Yeh Dil, Shehar Ki Ladki, Jhanjhriya, Tan Tana Tan Tan Tara, Ae Nazneen Sunona, Mere Khyaloon Ki Malika, Aankhen Bhi Hoti Hai Dil Ki Zubaan and others.
Abhijeet bagged Filmfare Best Award singer for Shah Rukh Khan and Juhi Chawla starrer Yes Boss’ song Main Koi Aisa Geet Gaaon in 1998.
