Last Updated:
Abhijeet opened up about working with composer Anu Malik and revealed that he was originally supposed to sing Gori Gori, but the song ended up being voiced by Malik himself.
Abhijeet Bhattacharya, known for his candid takes and chartbuster tracks, recently shared behind-the-scenes trivia about the hit film Main Hoon Na. In a conversation with Mashable India, the veteran playback singer opened up about working with composer Anu Malik and revealed that he was originally supposed to sing Gori Gori, but the song ended up being voiced by Malik himself.
Speaking about Anu Malik's tendency to take over his own compositions, Abhijeet said, 'Jab bhi kabhi Anu Malik ka koi gaana hota hai na, to unka bas chale to picturise bhi khud pe kare. He is so crazy, wo bol sakta hai ki ye gaana bohot acha hai, main gaaunga, mere ooper ho picturise kar do. Matlab, itna crazy hai! Bol raha hoon isiliye kyunki ab to wo time gaya. I'm very selfish, ab to koi farak nahi padta. Abhi kisi ka bhi time nahi hai."

The singer didn't hold back and revealed that Gori Gori was initially his song. 'Uss picture me Gori Gori mera gaana tha. Can you believe that? (Mimicking Anu Malik) Chori chori…ab ye ho gaya. Maine kya gaaya tha – phadu! I think, maine aur KK ne. Baad me dekhta hoon ki bhaisaab unka (Anu Malik) voice aa gaya. Iss gaane (Tumhe Jo Maine Dekha) me bhi aisa hi kuchh hone wala tha," he added, hinting that Tumhe Jo Maine Dekha also nearly went the same way.
Abhijeet also believed Tumhe Jo Maine Dekha could've made an even bigger mark had he been given proper time to rehearse. 'Agar ye gaane ko pehle se mujhe rehearsal kara ke agar gaana pehle se bolte. Set pe bula ke gawaya achanak, dubbing karwaya. I'm capable, fatafat gaa diya. Lekin agar fatafat ki jagah tayyari karke aate, to ye gaana isse bhi bada historical hota," he said.

‘Jaldi Chadh Gayi Mujhe': Aamir Khan Reveals Why He Got Blackout Drunk On His 60th Birthday
New Delhi: Bollywood megastar Aamir Khan recently revealed that he experienced a complete blackout after getting drunk at his 60th birthday bash, which he celebrated on March 14. In the latest episode of The Bombay Journey for Mashable India, Aamir shared that the party was organized by his daughter Ira Khan and ex-wife Reena Dutta, who invited all his loved ones and well-wishers. Although Aamir has almost completely quit drinking, he gave in to his friends' insistence and had a few drinks that evening which hit him unexpectedly hard. He said,'Yaar, bohot interesting hua. Ira, Reena, everyone organised a birthday party for me on my 60th. They invited all my loved ones. It was a memorable day, like all the memories will stay with me. I don't drink much these days, I've cut down alcohol consumption to almost zero. But that day, because it was my 60th birthday, everybody insisted that I have a drink. Toh maine kaha theek hai. Aur kyunki mujhe aadat nahi hai, bohot jaldi chadh gayi mujhe. (So I said okay. And since I'm not used to it, it hit me really fast). We started at around 7 pm, and by 9 pm, I knew that I was flying.' Although it was a special day, Aamir confessed that he has no memory of most of it due to a "clean blackout." He mentioned that there are photos and videos from the evening where people said nice things about him, but he doesn't remember any of it. Aamir Khan on Why He Quit Drinking Earlier, Aamir had revealed that he gave up alcohol because he lacked control while drinking. However, he admitted that he still smokes a pipe. In a candid conversation with actor Nana Patekar, Aamir opened up about his biggest personal struggle — his lack of discipline. While he maintains strong discipline in his professional life, especially with films, he described himself as an "extremist" in other areas. 'I smoke a pipe. Now I have quit drinking, but at one point, I used to drink. And when I used to drink, I would drink all night,' he said. On the Work Front, Aamir Khan is gearing up for the release of his much-anticipated film Sitaare Zameen Par, directed by R.S. Prasanna. The film is a remake of the Spanish movie Campeones and is slated to hit theatres on June 20.
