A fan later requested Shah Rukh Khan, writing, “Ek gaana release kardo sir #King #AskSRK." (Please release one song, sir). Responding to the fan’s request, Khan said he would release it, but Arijit Singh had yet to give the song its finishing touches.
Referring to Singh as “Arijit Dada,” the Bollywood superstar wrote, “Kar deta. Abhi Arijit dada ko finishing touches dene hain” (I would release it, but Arijit Dada still has to give it the finishing touches). He further praised Arijit Singh, adding, “He is a perfectionist and rightly takes some time.”
Arijit Singh has lent his voice to Shah Rukh Khan and has created some of Bollywood’s most iconic romantic and energetic tracks, such as “Gerua,” “Hawayein,” “Zaalima,” “Manwa Laage” and “Jhoome Jo Pathaan,” among many others.
