Arijit Singh is a playback singer and music programmer whose career began upon participating in the reality show Fame Gurukul (2005), in which he lost in the finals. After winning another reality show called 10 Ke 10 Le Gaye Dil, Singh built a recording setup of his own, beginning his journey with music programming.

But after the launch of ‘Tum Hi Ho’ from Aashiqui 2, Arijit Singh went on to become an overnight sensation. His lofty musical notes took the world by storm. He then has become one of the best playback singers in very short span of time. But now it looks like Arijit Singh is done with the music industry and Bollywood.

In a recent interview, Arijit said, “I don’t think I have a long way to go. This might be my last year. Normally, fresh voices replace (current favorites) every five to seven years in Bollywood.“

He further added, “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.”

Arijit Singh’s tryst was led by many struggles and he had to assist composers like Pritam and Shankar-Ehsaan -Loy for six years before he bagged his first song. He first appeared in a talent show Fame Gurukal, but got noticed after he delivered a blockbuster song from Murder 2, “Phir Mohabbat”.

He is one among the celebrities who keeps a distance from media. Talking about being a media-shy person, 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.
