Many believe the Laal Singh Chaddha actor may have met Arijit Singh to discuss his sudden decision to quit playback singing. There are also reports that Aamir is on a two-day trip to Jiaganj, where he is believed to be collaborating with the singer. However, there has been no official confirmation from either side.

Arijit has been the voice behind several iconic songs in Aamir Khan’s films, from Naina in Dangal to Tere Hawaale and Phir Na Aisi Raat Aayegi in Laal Singh Chaddha.

Vishal Bhardwaj’s request to Arijit Singh

Just days before Aamir’s visit, filmmaker Vishal Bhardwaj had also reacted emotionally to Arijit’s announcement. Vishal shared a video on Instagram featuring the two jamming together on a song from his upcoming film O Romeo.

In the clip, the director sings a scratch version while Arijit, who is recording the video, hums along. He wrote in the caption, “Hey Arijit.. Till a few days back while we were jamming on this song (you were shooting the video) I didn’t know that this will be my one of the last film song with you. This is unfair.. #TakeBackYourSanyaas Its unacceptable.”

Reasons behind stepping away from playback singing

Soon after, posts believed to be from Arijit’s personal X account began circulating, where he opened up about the reasons behind his decision. Responding to fans, the 38-year-old clarified that his choice was neither impulsive nor driven by a single incident. He explained that multiple reasons had led him here and that he had been contemplating this step for a long time before finally finding the courage to act.

The singer also shared, “One of the reasons is simple, I get bored pretty quick, that’s why I keep changing arrangements of the same songs and perform them on stage. So here is the thing, I got bored. I need to do some other music to live.”

He also spoke about making room for new voices, saying he looks forward to hearing fresh talent emerge and inspire him in return.

What’s next for Arijit Singh
