Bollywood sound of the decade, Arjit Singh, after six years of finding a ground in the industry managed to get his first break when Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy and Pritam gave him a chance to sing in Murder 2 with the song, ‘Phir Mohabbat’, which became an instant hit.
Talking to the media, Arijit said, “I don’t think I have a long way to go. This might be my last year. Normally, fresh voices replace (current favourites) every five to seven years in Bollywood.”
However, he thinks that as a singer, he might be able to change but only on one condition; “I might be able to change that. If I work really hard on specific genres, I might be able to stay longer. That way, I can emerge as the only singer who can croon songs of those genres. Maybe that’s how I will survive”.
When he was further asked why he likes to stay away from the limelight; he said, “I enjoy a quiet life, without much interruption. Over the past three years, I have seen my fan base grow, and I think it’s essential for them to know that I’ve always been someone who refrains from interactions because I enjoy a silent life. With the growth of social media, this, too, becomes difficult”.
