He described it as one of the most lovable sights from the entire meeting.

Arijit Singh’s emotional message and retirement buzz

In recent times, Arijit Singh surprised fans when he reportedly announced his retirement from playback singing through an emotional message. The news created shock and confusion across the music world.

However, Arijit later clarified the situation in February. He explained that while he has stopped taking new assignments, many of his already recorded songs are still pending release and will continue to come out over time.

He addressed his listeners directly, asking them not to get confused and to stay peaceful. In a long and unusual message, he said there are many unfinished songs that will keep releasing possibly through this year and even into the next.

Arijit also urged people not to overthink and added emotional notes about stepping away from social media.
