According to Ali Zafar, Shah Rukh Khan heard his song “Sun Re Sajaniya” and was impressed by his voice and style. After listening to his work, Shah Rukh Khan wanted Ali Zafar to perform the energetic track “Dard-e-Disco,” which later became one of the most popular songs from the movie Om Shanti Om.

Ali Zafar said that he was excited about the offer and really wanted to sing the track. However, due to scheduling issues and his absence from India at that time, he could not take up the opportunity. As a result, the song was eventually sung by Sukhwinder Singh, with music composed by Vishal-Shekhar.

“Dard-e-Disco” went on to become a massive hit and played a key role in the success of Om Shanti Om, which performed strongly at the box office in 2007. Even today, the song remains popular among fans of Bollywood music and dance.

This revelation by Ali Zafar gives fans a glimpse into what could have been a unique cross-border musical collaboration. It also highlights how timing and availability can shape careers in the entertainment industry, sometimes causing even the most exciting opportunities to slip away.
