Popular ’90s singer Abhijeet Bhattacharya’s voice was synonymous with Shah Rukh Khan. He gave his voice to songs like “Tauba,” “Woh Ladki Sabse Alag Hai,” “Baadshah O Baadshah,” and “Tumhe Jo Maine Dekha,” among others, which featured SRK and were hits. However, one song that stands out in their collaboration is Yes Boss’ “Chaand Taare,” one of Shah Rukh’s most popular songs in his illustrious Hindi cinema career spanning three-decades. Abhijeet recently spoke about recording the song and its popularity, which seems to mirror SRK’s journey to stardom.

“It’s not a song. Jaise aap ek anthem ko gaana nahin bol sakte, jaise Shankar Mahadevan ka ek gaana hai Sabse Aage Honge Hindustani, it’s not a song, it’s an anthem, wo gaana ban gaya hai (You can’t call an anthem a song. Shankar Mahadevan’s track Sabse Aange Honge Hindustani is not a song, but an anthem.

“…Waise hi Chaand Taare, har industrialist, her politician, her celebrity, jisko ek restaurant main bhi ek success chahiye..[who has an “ambition”], unke liye anthem hai ye (Similarly, Chaand Taare is like an anthem for every industrialist, every politician, every celebrity and even the restaurant owners aspiring for success in their lives),” the singer said.
Abhijeet “couldn’t believe” how the song, Chaand Taare was composed
The playback singer further discussed an anecdote about the composition of Chaand Taare.
“Ye bana kaise I can’t believe Javed Sahab ne likh diya (I can’t believe how this song was composed. Javed Akhtar penned the lyrics),” he said. Quoting Akhtar, he added, “Maine toh likh diya bhai, gaana tum banao bhai, hum kuch nahin kar sakte humne likh diya hai (I have written the song, now you compose it. I can’t help it, I have done my work).”
Abhijeet Bhattacharya then praised the music-composer duo Jatin-Lalit for the song, Chaand Taare.
The track is remembered for predicting Shah Rukh Khan’s superstardom in Bollywood. SRK danced in front of Mannat in a sequence from the song.
