Bollywood fans were left gasping when the voice of countless hit songs, Arijit Singh, dropped a bombshell last month. The singer announced he would be taking a step back from playback singing. The news spread like wildfire. (Also Read: Aamir Khan thanks Arijit Singh for lending voice to ‘Ek Din’ days after the singer quits playback singing)
But the story didn’t end there. Rumours soon started swirling online that none other than superstar Aamir Khan couldn’t bear the thought of a Bollywood without Arijit Singh and his magical voice and had flown straight to Murshidabad, Arijit’s hometown, to meet him personally.
Behind the scenes: Aamir and Arijit together
On Monday, fans got a rare treat. A behind-the-scenes video from the making of the title track of ‘Ek Din’, the film starring Junaid Khan (yes, that’s Aamir’s son!), was released, and it’s pure gold for fans.
The clip shows Aamir Khan and Arijit Singh sharing warm, personal moments. There are scenes of them enjoying meals together, flying kites in the yard, and recording the title track side by side. The video gives a rare glimpse into Arijit’s world away from the limelight and it’s clear Aamir wasn’t just there for work, he was there for heart.
A plea from Bollywood’s Mr. perfection
Amid the laughter and kite-flying, Aamir’s message hit home. In a moment caught on camera, he urged Arijit not to quit playback singing.
“For sometime you want to take a break or you don’t want to sing for Hindi films? Aise mat kar yaar, hum logon ka kya hoga bhai?” Aamir said.
Arijit Singh’s goodbye
The video comes a few weeks after Arijit Singh stunned everyone with his announcement in January. Sharing a message on Instagram, Arijit thanked his fans for years of love and support.
“Hello, Happy New Year to all. I want to thank you all for giving me so much love all these years as listeners. I am happy to announce that I am not going to be taking any new assignments as a playback vocalist from now on. I am calling it off. It was a wonderful journey,” he wrote.
Fans flooded the comments with messages of gratitude, sadness, and support.
While Arijit steps back from playback singing, it’s clear he hasn’t closed the door on music entirely. He might still surprise fans with personal projects or live performances.
