Shockwaves continue from Arijit Singh’s playback retirement declaration, with fans in meltdown mode. But singers Babul Supriyo and Shan are playing peacemakers, vouching for his smarts and begging everyone to pump the brakes on panic.
Supriyo went full fanboy, dubbing Arijit ‘intelligent and supremely talented.’ ‘If he crafts songs so soulfully, you bet he’s weighed every angle of this choice,’ he shared in a candid chat. It’s a vote of confidence in Arijit’s sharp mind.
His fan directive? Easy does it. ‘Cut the drama, wait it out, and anticipate what’s coming from him. Love is all we need to give,’ Supriyo advised, turning potential despair into eager expectation.
Shan tackled the online circus head-on. ‘Social media’s theory factory is in overdrive over Arijit’s reasons,’ he laughed off. ‘Chill out, folks. He’ll spill when it’s time – chat about other stuff meanwhile.’
Shreya Ghoshal and Myung Cheng joined the chorus, reflecting on Arijit’s low-key rise sans scandals. They hailed it as ‘a new sunrise,’ not curtains closing on his career.
What does this mean for Arijit’s future? From stadium anthems to film scores or beyond Bollywood – possibilities abound. With backing from music heavyweights, his pivot feels like evolution, not escape, keeping the melody alive in new forms.
