Arijit Singh Says Goodbye to Playback Singing, Not to Music — Here’s What He Will Do Next

Arijit Singh Big Announcement – A news story is going viral on the internet about Arijit Singh, the soulful voice of Bollywood and known as the ‘King of Romance,’ which has stunned every music lover. It is being claimed that Arijit has announced his retirement from playback singing.

The Viral Claim What is the matter?

A post is rapidly circulating on social media claiming that 38-year-old Arijit Singh has shared this information through a ‘private’ X (Twitter) handle and a Facebook message. According to the post. Arijit will no longer sing new songs (assignments) for films. He has described his journey as “wonderful” and said that he is ending it. His songs from old commitments will continue to be released until 2026, but he will not sign anything new.

Is this news true?

Here, caution is needed. Arijit Singh is known for his simplicity and for staying away from the limelight. Official Confirmation: So far, no official announcement has been made from any of Arijit Singh’s verified social media handles or his team.

The Mystery of the Private Account: The viral news mentions a ‘private account,’ the authenticity of which is difficult to verify. Often, fake accounts created in the name of celebrities spread such news.

Mention of Padma Shri: The article mentions that he will receive the Padma Shri in January 2025. The reality is that Arijit Singh’s name is not included in the list of Padma Awards for 2025. Currently, this news seems more like a rumor. Until Arijit himself comes forward on camera or makes an announcement from his verified social media handle, fans need not worry.

Arijit Singh: A journey that changed music

Arijit became an overnight superstar in 2013 with the song ‘Tum Hi Ho’ from the film Aashiqui 2. After this, he never looked back:

Iconic songs: ‘Ae Dil Hai Mushkil’, ‘Kesariya’, ‘Hawayein’, and the recent hit ‘Sajni’.

Achievements: He has received two National Film Awards for ‘Binte Dil’ from Padmaavat and ‘Kesariya’ from Brahmastra.

A relief for fans:

Even if this viral post is considered true for a moment, it states that Arijit “will not stop making music.” He might focus on independent music or his own albums. But for now, this news seems to be nothing more than internet gossip.
