Hindi cinema’s most sought-after singer, Arijit Singh, made an announcement stating he is quitting playback singing.
His fans have gone into shock.
Arijit wrote on Facebook, “Hello, Happy New Year to all. I want to thank you for giving me so much of love all these years as listeners. I am happy to announce that I am not gonna be taking any new assignments as a playback vocalist from now on. I am calling it off. It was a wonderful journey. God has been really kind to me.”
A prominent filmmaker who has worked extensively with Arijit reveals the singer was in the mood for de-vocalization for quite some time. “He has been threatening to quit for quite some time now. Arijit is a very moody and very self-content artiste. Fame was never his scene. He sings for his own satisfaction. The money, popularity, and other perks don’t interest him. He now wants to focus on his riyaaz and on composing the music that he believes in.”
