Abhijeet Bhattacharya is known for his candid, scathing criticism of Bollywood. He has previously made fun of celebrities for being "paid desk bhakts." The indian playback singer thought that music directors stopped working with him after he sang for Shah Rukh Khan, revealing the brutal and sinister side of Bollywood. Abhijeet and Shah Rukh have worked together on some of the most incredible songs. A lot of people thought the actor was the singer when they heard the song.
Over the years, Abhijeet has appeared in over a thousand films, singing over 6000 songs. He has sang hit songs like Judwaa, Yes Boss, Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge, Shola Aur Shabnam, and Coolie No. 1, among many more movies.
Abhijeet Bhattacharya also recalled taking home a prize for the film "Yes Boss," which was competing against popular films Border, Pardes, and dil To Pagal Hai for the Filmfare Award for Best Male Playback Singer. Unfortunately, music directors apparently were so unhappy with him at that time that they ceased working with him.
“Jabse mujhe award mila, aur koi film bahut badi blockbuster nahi thi Yes Boss, gaana bhi blockbuster nahi tha, lekin us time pe saare blockbusters ke beech mein ek non blockbuster tha, Border, Pardes, dil To Pagal Hai. Aur idhar mujhe mil gaya. Kisi ko bhi mil sakta tha, aisa nahi hai ke mujhe hi milna tha… well deserved. Aur kitne music directors ko woh laga… uske baad dikha dikha ke mujhe woh bolte hain ke gaana tumse nahi gavayenge,” he said.
