Playback maestro Arijit Singh drops a bombshell: he’s done with singing for Hindi films. Hits from Barfi to Metro… In Dino have made him a legend, yet he’s calling it quits on this front just as his star shines brightest.
Singer Armaan Malik led the tributes, posting a profound reflection on X. ‘The inner self recognizes when to alter course, for the road ahead no longer aligns with its supreme calling. Unsure of the river’s next merge with the sea, but faith in its stream and divine direction prevails. Cheers to future enchantment! Sincere thanks for elevating playback singing.’
Arijit’s late-night post on Tuesday set the tone. ‘New Year blessings to all. Grateful for years of love. Excited to announce: no more new playback gigs. Closing this beautifully.’
Music isn’t over for him—it’s expanding. 2027 brings a massive world tour with live gigs and VR experiences. He’s already global, teaming with Ed Sheeran for ‘Sapphire’ and Martin Garrix for ‘Angels For Each Other’ last year. Expect more independent releases, as he champions original music over film-bound songs.
Arijit’s move challenges industry norms, prioritizing personal growth. Armaan’s words capture the admiration from peers, signaling a new era where Arijit could redefine his legacy on worldwide platforms. Fans, though heartbroken, celebrate his courage.
