Abhijeet Bhattacharya remembered that after winning an award for Yes Boss, several music directors would say that they would not consider him to sing for their songs.
Abhijeet Bhattacharya, in a recent interview, discussed the challenges of his early career. He recalled the instances where music directors humiliated him by not giving him opportunities to sing in Shah Rukh Khan films.
He also remembered that after winning an award for Yes Boss, several music directors would explicitly state that they would not consider him to sing for their songs. Speaking to Pinkvilla, Abhijeet reflected on facing criticism in ways that felt insulting yet also served as inspiration.
He said, "Mere saath bahut huya hai... jisme hota tha ki, music director ko jaise hi laga ke Shah Rukh Khan ki picture mil gayi... kitne bhi close ho mere woh music director, aisa lagta tha ki uska motive hi tha ke Abhijeet ko nahi gavaaunga (It has happened a lot with me. When music directors would get a Shah Rukh Khan film, they wouldn't give me a chance to sing, no matter how close I was to them)."
He further added, "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... Aur kitne music directors ko woh laga... uske baad dikha dikha ke mujhe woh bolte hain ke gaana tumse nahi gavayenge (When I won an award for my song in Yes Boss, mine was the only non-blockbuster song among all the blockbuster tracks from films like Border, Pardes and Dil To Pagal Hai… After that, many music directors would openly tell me that they won't give their song to me)."
In the 1997 romantic comedy film Yes Boss, directed by Aziz Mirza and starring Shah Rukh Khan, Juhi Chawla, and Aditya Pancholi, Abhijeet sang four out of the six songs. These songs included Main Koi Aisa Geet Gaoon, Chaand Taare, Suniye To, and Jaata Hai Tu Kahan. He won his first Filmfare Award for Best Male Playback Singer for the song Main Koi Aisa Geet Gaoon.
