Arijit Singh has said goodbye to film songs. Even in the beginning of the year 2026, this news may definitely be a bit bad for Arijit’s lovers. But he has not given up singing. Arijit Singh has announced on social media that he will no longer sing in films. Arijit Singh is known not only for his voice but also for his simplicity and strange (but heart-touching) stories. Despite being such a big superstar of Bollywood, his life is like that of a common man. Let us know some interesting stories to Arijit Singh.

1. Became a ‘background singer’ in his own wedding

When Arijit married Koel Roy, he did not want any brouhaha. The marriage took place so simply that the people around did not even know. The story is that during his wedding rituals, he himself sat down with the harmonium and started singing for the guests. The sound for which the world spends crores was resonating there for free.

2. Roaming on ‘Scooty’ in the streets of Jiaganj

Even now when Arijit goes to his village Jiaganj (West Bengal), instead of his expensive cars, he goes on his old scooter to buy vegetables or drop his children to school. Many times people do not even recognize them because they are in simple slippers and lungi or pants. For them, simplicity is not a show, but a way of life.

3. Being out of ‘Fame Gurukul’ became a boon

Arijit started his career in 2005 with the reality show ‘Fame Gurukul’. Interestingly, he could not win that show and was eliminated at number six. But the judge there Sanjay Leela Bhansali had recognized his talent. After losing the show, Arijit worked as an assistant music programmer and today he is far ahead of the winners of the same show.

4. That ‘famous’ controversy with Salman Khan

During an award function (2014), Arijit reached the stage wearing slippers and very tired. When Salman Khan jokingly asked him, “Are you asleep?” So Arijit replied, “You guys made me sleep.” This thing hurt Salman and for a long time Arijit’s songs kept being removed from his films. However, this controversy ended with ‘Tiger 3’ in 2023.

5. Torn shoes and free glasses

Once Arijit was performing in a big concert. In the middle of the show, he raised his foot and showed that his shoe was torn. He laughed and said that it didn’t matter to him. Not only this, he often goes on stage wearing glasses or T-shirts gifted by his fans.
