During a conversation with singer Abhijeet Bhattacharya, who appeared on Indian Idol as a guest, Aditya shared, “When Anu Malik ji was teaching us this song, I was sitting on one of his laps, Anmol was on the other, and he was holding a harmonium in between while teaching us.”
He further disclosed that the song was the popular track ‘Mujhe Maaf Karna’ from the hit film Biwi No.1.
Aditya also highlighted Abhijeet’s legacy, stating, “Abhijeet da has sung with Lata Mangeshkar ji and also with our favourite Shreya Ghoshal, but very few judges know that he and I have also sung together.”
