Abhijeet like Kumar Sanu never liked ARR and never hid their feelings. Abhijeet must be a very frustrated man these days ... He used to be the voice of SRK but oflate Sonu Nigam has taken that place and Abhijeet hardly has any songs and he thinks ARR is reason for his failure to get good songs.

I dont think you can say that RDB was consistent for 25 years. If you look at his career graph, he had first hit in Teesri Kasam, which came in 1966. he had great time from then to early 80s. But by then his number of his were few and rare. I think between 80 - 85 he had only few hits like
