On Thursday evening, 14 of the brightest stars from the music industry paid a tribute to Shah Rukh Khan who was adjudged the ‘Face of Romantic Music’ at the 6th Mirchi Awards. They included Aditya Narayan , Anu Malik , Anmol Malik, Sonu Nigam, Aadesh Shrivastava, Lalit Pandit, Ankit Tewari, Arijit Singh, Aditi Singh, Alka Yagnik, Mika, Armaan Malik, Nakash Aziz and Udit Narayan, who crooned parts from the songs they have sung for the superstar down the years.

The highpoint of the event was SRK breaking into an impromptu rap with Malik. Said Malik, “When I started singing the Baazigar chart-topper, Ye Kaali Kaali Aankhein, Shah Rukh rushed to the stage and started rapping on Tu Mila, Main Mili and the audience went berserk!”

However, not everyone was in high spirits. Udit Narayan who has not got an opportunity to sing for the star post Veer-Zaara told him despondently, “Sir, aap humein bhool gaye ho.” But despite Udit’s forget-me-not alaap, it was an unforgettable evening for the Bollywood Badshah.
