New Delhi, Dec 13 (ANI): Bollywood hit- machine Arijit Singh must be on cloud nine after getting to show his singing skills for Shah Rukh Khan in 'Dilwale'.

His latest song 'Gerua' which is filmed on Shah Rukh and Kajol has already become a rage among the singer's fans.

ANI caught up with the singer exclusively to know how does he feel to lend his voice for the King Khan.

Speaking on the same, the 28-year-old playback singer told ANI, "It feels great and it also feels weird at the same time. I have been watching Shah Rukh Khan since my childhood and I never thought my voice will suit him. Lot of people will feel that I am not suiting his voice because Shah Rukh is one huge personality and you need some kind of maturity to sing for him and for me there is long way to go."

"Music directors like Pritam and Vishal-Shekhar believe in me and I am also trying to put my best foot forward and even King Khan loves the song", said Arijit.

He added that 'Gerua' has become a huge hit and it feels nice to see people are accepting me in SRK's voice.

The 'Hamdard' hit-maker was in national capital to mesmerise his fans as a part of Mirchi Live concert.

The Bollywood singer enthralled the audience with his back-to-back hit numbers like 'Tum Hi Ho', 'Kabira', 'Baaton Ko Teri' and his latest 'Gerua' from 'Dilwale'.

Arijit, unlike others, proved that he is a complete entertainer as he also crooned hit songs of other singers.
