Honestly, I think this could actually be a good thing for Arijit Singh. Taking a step back might give him the space he needs to explore creatively, and as fans, all we can really do is support him and wish him the best. He hasn’t quit music or disappeared. It just seems like he’s taking a break from playback singing for films and choosing to work on his own terms instead—maybe independent songs, maybe projects that truly excite him beyond cinema. Film music comes with a lot of pressure and limitations: producers, directors, story demands, market expectations. Doing the same kind of work over and over can burn anyone out, especially someone as passionate as him. At some point, every artist wants to follow their own rhythm.
Even though he is one of the highest paid music artists, he’s also been very honest about how unfair the music industry can be for others in the industry, especially when it comes to payments. He’s said that these practices slowly “kill an artist,” and it makes sense. Artists aren’t businesspeople; they create from the heart. But when the system benefits businesses more than the people actually making the music, it becomes exhausting and unfair. So many artists put in immense effort, only to be underpaid or misled through vague, verbal agreements where everything changes by the end.
What really hits hard is how artists get so absorbed in their work that they stop thinking about money altogether. They just want to give their best. And then, when the final result comes out and the compensation doesn’t match the effort, it feels like their love for art has been taken advantage of. That kind of environment isn’t healthy for anyone.
Artists burn out when they’re stuck doing the same thing repeatedly. Creative freedom matters. If Arijit wants to step away from the film industry to try something new, there’s absolutely nothing wrong with that. And if he’s reached a point where fame or money doesn’t matter as much anymore, that’s not a loss—it just shows how deeply connected he is to his art. As fans, we should respect that and stand by him
