Mumbai’s music circles are abuzz with reactions to Arijit Singh’s shocking announcement stepping away from playback singing. As fans flood social media with concerns, industry veterans like Babul Supriyo and Shan have stepped in with words of wisdom and support.
In an exclusive conversation, Babul Supriyo hailed Arijit as an ‘intelligent man’ and one of the finest singers India has seen. ‘Someone who presents his art so beautifully must have deeply pondered this decision,’ Supriyo remarked. He urged fans to trust Arijit’s judgment, emphasizing that blind speculation won’t help.
Supriyo’s appeal was clear: hold off on the noise and wait patiently. ‘We love him dearly – that’s enough. Let’s see what new surprises he brings in the future,’ he added, painting a picture of optimism rather than loss.
Echoing similar sentiments, singer Shan advised fans to exercise patience amid the online frenzy. ‘Everyone’s reading between the lines, crafting theories left and right,’ Shan observed. He suggested shifting focus to other topics until Arijit himself clarifies his reasons at the right time.
Arijit Singh’s retirement from playback singing has sparked widespread discussion. Fellow artists like Shreya Ghoshal and Myung Cheng have also weighed in, framing it not as an era’s end but as a fresh beginning. They highlighted Arijit’s career-long aversion to shortcuts and spotlight chasing, from his early days to now.
This development leaves fans pondering what’s next for the man behind countless chart-toppers. Will he pivot to independent music, acting, or something entirely new? Only time will tell, but the support from peers underscores his lasting impact on Bollywood melodies.
