In a heartfelt revelation, playback singer Divya Kumar shared how he was replaced by Diljit Dosanjh in the upcoming Shah Rukh Khan production, The Ba**ds of Bollywood*. The singer had originally recorded the track ‘Tainu Ki Pata’, but the final version featured Diljit instead.
Speaking in a recent interview, Divya Kumar said that he was offered what he called “insane money” as compensation for being replaced — but he chose to refuse it out of pure admiration and respect for Shah Rukh Khan.
“I told them I couldn’t take the money. I would cry in front of Mannat if I accepted it. For me, it was enough that Shah Rukh sir liked my version. Getting that opportunity was bigger than any cheque,” Divya revealed.
The singer admitted he was initially disheartened but felt immense gratitude that his voice was even considered for a Shah Rukh Khan project. “To be part of something attached to Shah Rukh sir’s name, even briefly, was a huge honour,” he added.
Sources close to the project shared that the creative team later decided to go with Diljit Dosanjh, whose Punjabi music influence matched the film’s tone and global market appeal.
Industry insiders praised Divya’s humility and professionalism, highlighting how rare such integrity is in Bollywood today.
