He shared an incident where he heard some of SRK’s contemporaries referring to him as “hakla” (stammerer) behind his back.
Abhijeet recounted:
“I had won an award for the song ‘Tumhe Jo Maine Dekha’ in Dubai. After the event, someone from the industry said to me, ‘Aye! Hakle ke liye gaa raha hai na tu?’ (You’re singing for that stammerer?). It shocked me to see such jealousy.”
