Haroon Rasheed asked Atif Aslam if he really rejected singing for Shah Rukh Khan since the Bollywood megastar has openly made that claim in one of his interviews.
“Is it true that at one point you were too busy that you didn’t sing a song for Shahrukh, I have his clip for you, it is on the record that he said this, I will send the video clip to you.”
That’s when the Rafta Rafta singer revealed that it had been a misunderstanding. Atif Aslam laughed at the question explaining what happened. Turns out he did sing the song, Shahrukh Khan’s team might not have put it through.
“No, nothing of that sort happened, I have had a chance to meet Shahrukh only once, he is a wonderful person. Firstly, he didn’t approach me personally. Secondly, it was Shahrukh’s team who approached me, I did sing that song, its on record I am telling you that I recorded that song and sent it back to his team. I think his team didn’t put us through, something happened which wasn’t conveyed to him.”
