‘Phenk mat’: Abhijeet claims he suggested Shah Rukh Khan’s singing portion in ‘I Am The Best’ song, Lalit Pandit declares it was SRK’s idea

Lalit Pandit, who composed the song with his brother Jatin Pandit, said that Shah Rukh Khan was present at the recording and insisted that he remembered each and every bit about recording his songs. Abhijeet was mildly offended by this and asked, “Maine phenka? (Did I lie?)” Lalit said that he was sharing the conversation that Shah Rukh had with him during the recording and Abhijeet, meanwhile, kept repeating, “It’s very embarrassing.”

Lalit then recalled that Shah Rukh wanted something extra in the last bit and after multiple attempts by Abhijeet, he offered to do it himself and did it in one take. “Shah Rukh kept saying ask him to do it in a certain way. Do you remember we had some problem in ‘I am the best’ portion? We kept rehearsing it more and more. Then Shah Rukh said ‘I will only do this last bit.’ So I said, ‘Yes please, go and do it’ and he did it in one take. He knew the style he wanted it in so it was simple for him. I guess, so he did it in one take,” he recalled.

As Abhijeet kept repeatedly asking if he was lying, Lalit laughed him off and said, “Yaar main baitha hu, tab toh mat phenk (Don’t lie when I am sitting right here).”

In the last few weeks, Abhijeet Bhattacharya has made it clear that he does not like his songs being credited as “Shah Rukh’s songs.” He also said that he was “hurt” by this and Shah Rukh was also aware of the same.
