Arijit Singh has not elaborated on any reason behind taking this drastic decision, and the fans are still in disbelief about the news. However, this feels like a decision of a mature and revered music artist, as his career is already saturated with Bollywood music artists. He is making independent music projects with international artists like Ed Sheeran and Martin Garrix, and he is still at the top of his career and creativity, which is not only defined by Bollywood soundtracks. Perhaps it is time for the artist to explore his own journey.

Arijit Singh started his career as a contestant on a music reality show called Fame Gurukul, which took place in 2005. His debut for Bollywood playback singing was for ‘Phir Mohabbat’ from the movie ‘Murder 2’. Since then, he has been on a never-ending musical journey that is constantly flourishing, and now, he is taking a new turn.
