Fans went into a frenzy at the Dua Lipa concert when they heard a mashup of her superhit track Levitating and the Baazigar song Woh Ladki Jo.

So who deserves the credit? The songwriter-composer-singer or the actor we all think of when the tune starts playing?

Abhijeet Bhattacharya’s son pointing out this lack of recognition is quite appropriate. The efforts of a lot of people behind the camera often don’t get recognised as the actor. The familiar face of the actor brings a certain recall value to the music. It takes a collaboration of both to make a song iconic.
Abhijeet Bhattacharya and Shahrukh Khan are probably one of the most memorable duos in the music industry with iconic songs like Tumhe Jo Maine Dekha, Tauba Tumhare Ishare, Zara Sa Jhoom Loon Main, Hum To Deewane Huye, and many more. They got that stature and love because of the efforts of Shahrukh as well as the people behind the scenes. The audience mostly remembers Shahrukh as he was the face of them all.
