Singer Dua Lipa performed live in Mumbai on Saturday, winning fans’ hearts. The crowd erupted in excitement when she performed on the a viral mashup of her hit track Levitating and Shah Rukh Khan’s iconic Bollywood number Woh Ladki Jo from his film Baadshah, which is sung by Abhijeet Bhattacharya. However, Jay Bhattacharya, son of the singer, took to social media to criticise for overlooking his father’s contribution to the iconic song.
Jay took to his Instagram story and mentioned how his father’s name was not mentioned, “The problem is that no one talks about it. What happened to- Woh Ladki Jo- Abhijeet? Unfortunately we live in a country where not one news outlet or Instagram page has mentioned the voice and the artists of this song. Why has it always been about actors in this country? I’m sure when @dualipa heard this song she must have heard it and not seen it and not appreciated the man that has sung this song and yes it is not SRK,” he said.

He added, “It is @abhijeetbhattacharya and @anumalikmusic. Im sorry but this song is called Woh Ladki Jo sabse alag hai- Abhijeet wherever you search it. but somehow the media in this country never lets a singer get his due and then people ask me why don’t you try and sing for Bollywood.”
In another of the posts, another user said, “Song is hit and popular because of legends like Abhijeet and Anu Malik!”
Meanwhile, this marked Dua’s second concert in India, after a four-year gap since her debut performance at the OnePlus Music Festival in 2019.
Dua’s Levitating X Woh Ladki mashup received love from Shah Rukh Khan’s daughter, Suhana Khan. She shared a video clip of of the performance on her Instagram stories, adding a heart, a dancing girl, and a goofy emoji to express her excitement.
