Abhijeet lashes out at Bhatts for 'illegally' bringing in 'useless' Pak artists, taking away jobs from 'talented' Indian musicians

Singer Abhijeet lashed out against Pakistani singers for infiltrating the Indian music industry and also lambasted the Bhatt's in an interview with MiD DAY on Friday from Singapore, where he is performing at concerts.

"I have been retaliating against the influx of Pakistani artists without a valid work permit in our film and music industry. Producers and singers should be tried in court for working without work permits in India. This is a big crime they have been committing since years. There are extremely talented singers in our country who are jobless, but the Bhatts are promoting singers and actors from Pakistan who are useless and nowhere compared to their Indian counterparts."


Tu Tu Main Main: Singer Abhijeet Bhattacharya alleges Pooja Bhatt promotes Pakistani singers even though that country is involved in terror acts.



He added: "I have refused to sing for the Bhatts as it is below my dignity to be associated with people who are probably 'agents for Pak artists'. There is a difference between promoting a culture and promoting a profession. Their 'mental recession' is visible from their line of flop films that are mere copies of Hollywood films and tunes taken from anywhere and everywhere."

Abhijeet cleared the fact that he did not want to talk about the Bhatts and David Headley connection. "I did not blame Rahul Bhatt; it's the media that has brought out a possible terror link. For the Bhatts it's a case of 'you reap what you sow'."

Did You know?

Rahul Bhatt (pictured) reportedly came into contact with LeT operative David Headley through Vilas Warak, the American's gym instructor in Mumbai.

Once that contact was made, Headley ignored Warak, Intelligence sources said.

"After Kargil and numerous terror attacks and now 26/11 do we want to still dance and sing to their tunes? Would the family's massacred innocent victims sing the song and forget the wounds? I have the guts to stand for what I have been screaming my lungs out for," said an angry Abhijeet. "I am a true son of the soil who will fight for his motherland."

Implying he wasn't insecure about work, he said: " I have survived in this industry for what I am. I have built an empire that many filmy people can't even dream of. Because of that I am surviving among hypocrites and rotten industry-wallas."

okay ermm...would he be saying the same thing for the western singers that have sung various remixes and RnB sorta songs in movies....a recent example being the infamous chiggy wiggy. This is the reply for him claiming that bringing out singers from Pakistan particularly is taking away jobs from other singers.
He is just taking the advantage of the situation in his favour as he gets another chance to degrade singers like Atif as he has done before too.
now, um ready for the hate PMs... 😆

Wow this man sounds like a true racist in regards to saying things about Indian directors using Pak artists. In regards to the Bhatt's I will post nocomments as I really don't know much about their connections and am not a fan of their movies.
It's sad that there is such discrimination even between artist, this man clearly seems jealous and must be jobless as I don't even know who he is. First of all the choice of the singer belongs to the director and or producer, they have the right to choose a voice they feel can suit their song and secondly Pakistan has talented singers and if a few are given a chance to sing on Indian soil then what the hell is the problem? NOT EVERYONE IS A TERRORIST.
This man clearly is in dire need of publicity. It is because of racists people like him who will never let India and Pakistan live in peace.

No talent - that's an opinion. I'm sure a lot of people don't agree to that.
Abhijeet is an egotistical man. Wasn't he jealous of Udit too earlier. Please, this man is clearly a racist and nothing else.
