The Indian entertainment world is reeling from Arijit Singh’s announcement to retire from Bollywood playback singing. Melodies from films such as Barfi, Jagga Josaus, Ludo, and Metro… In Dino immortalized his talent, but now he’s stepping back from Hindi cinema tracks.
Armaan Malik, inspired by Arijit, offered blessings on X with spiritual depth. ‘Soul intuitively knows when to pivot, as the path fails its highest aim. Trusting the river’s journey to the ocean under heavenly grace. Wishing magical tomorrows! Heartfelt thanks for your playback legacy.’
In his post, Arijit shared joyfully, ‘Warm New Year wishes. Thanks for the endless affection. From here, no new playback singing. What an epic ride!’
He’s not vanishing—2027 heralds a world tour packed with concerts and virtual reality spectacles. International ties strengthen with tracks like ‘Sapphire’ alongside Ed Sheeran and ‘Angels For Each Other’ with Martin Garrix in 2025. Indie music and solo ventures are his new focus, unshackled from movie schedules.
This strategic shift positions Arijit for broader horizons, earning kudos like Armaan’s. As Bollywood loses its vocal powerhouse, the global stage gains one, promising fresh innovations from the artist who’s touched billions.
