MUMBAI: Stalwart singer Abhijeet Bhattacharya seems to have, yet again, opened a can of worms, this time rather subtly with his quintessential sarcasm.

The singer who appeared on the singing reality show, Indian Idol, shared his candid views on a long-debated topic in the music industry of ‘actors receiving credit for songs sung by playback singers.’

During a rapid-fire conversation, host Aditya Narayan asked, “Do you think that actors take more credit for their songs than a playback singer?”

Abhijeet, known for his unfiltered and often witty perspective, didn't hold back. While acknowledging the performance of actors, he drew a sharp distinction between performing and soulful singing.
