"It was a very small reason I stopped singing for Shah Rukh. In Main Hoon Na, they showed everyone from a spot boy to everyone else, but the singers. The same thing happened with Om Shanti Om. Stars sang Dhoom Tana. It was my voice. But it wasn't shown anywhere. The self-respect was hurt. Why should I ask them to add my name? The problem is I don't lack anything. So why should I ask for this?" said the singer. If you are not in know, Abhijeet has sung some beautiful numbers for the actor including Chalte Chalte and Main Koi Aisa Geet Gaaun. Well, we wonder if SRK has anything to say about this. Stay tuned to get more updates on the same.
