Dua Lipa recently surprised Indian fans by singing the Levitating x Woh Ladki Jo Mashup at her Mumbai concert. The Bollywood song was picturised on Shah Rukh Khan in the film Baadshah and was sung by Abhijeet Bhattacharya. After Dua’s performance, fans praised SRK’s star power, failing to acknowledge Abhijeet’s talent. This angered the musician and his son, Jay.
Jay expressed his disappointment on his Instagram Story, highlighting that his father’s name was not acknowledged His Story was also re-shared by the singer. He wrote, “The problem is that no one talks about it. What happened to- Woh Ladki Jo- Abhijeet? Unfortunately, we live in a country where not one news outlet or Instagram page has mentioned the voice and the artists of this song. Why has it always been about actors in this country? I’m sure when @dualipa heard this song she must have heard it and not seen it and not appreciated the man that has sung this song and yes it is not SRK."

He went on to add, “It is @abhijeetbhattacharya and @anumalikmusic. Im sorry but this song is called Woh Ladki Jo Sabse Alag Hai- Abhijeet wherever you search it. But somehow the media in this country never lets a singer get his due and then people ask me why don’t you try and sing for Bollywood."
Abhijeet Bhattacharya also re-shared this message, disappointed by the lack of acknowledgement. Although Anu Malik did not share the same message, he shared a post that read, “Dua Lipa ke concert main bhi sabse zyada baat Anu Malik ke gaane ki ho rahi hai."
