Ahan Shetty on Arijit Singh's retirement: I respect his decision, looking forward to everything that's to come from him

Actor Ahan Shetty reacts to singer Arijit Singh's decision to quit playback, expressing respect and sadness while wishing him well for future projects.

"It's sad that we're not going to be able to listen to his voice in playback anymore. - Ahan Shetty"

Mumbai, Jan 29

Actor Ahan Shetty, who is receiving a lot of positive response to his work in the recently released film 'Border 2', has reacted to the superstar singer Arijit Singh's decision to hang his boots.

The actor spoke with IANS following the great response to his film, in which he essays a naval officer. During the conversation, the actor spoke about the impact of Arijit on an entire generation, and how he will miss his voice in the playback.

Ahan told IANS, "It's sad that we're not going to be able to listen to his voice in playback anymore. I mean, he has his shows and stuff like that, but to be able to hear his voice in our films, I think he's become such an integral part of a lot of movies and an integral part of our culture in a way. So it is sad, but, I feel like maybe he has a certain reasoning behind that, behind the decision he's made that we don't know about. So I always like to think in terms of the artiste, even though we might feel sad, maybe this is the step that he feels is the right one for him".

He further mentioned, "So I'm very happy for him. I respect his decision. And I do want to say that we will miss him. But, we're looking forward to everything that's to come from him. And I know he has a lot to offer in terms of stage shows and composing and stuff like that. But yeah, he probably has a reason as to why he made this decision".

Arijit, who has defined the landscape of Hindi film music for over a decade and a half, decided to leave playback singing. The singer however, hasn't spoken about the next step in his journey.

Ahan Shetty's response is very mature and respectful. In an industry known for gossip, it's refreshing to see someone support an artist's personal choice without speculation. Also, loved him in Border 2 - josh tha film mein! 🇮🇳

Honestly, this is a huge loss for Bollywood. Who will fill this void? The new singers are good, but Arijit had a unique emotional connection with listeners. Maybe he'll come back after a break? One can hope.

As someone who discovered Indian music through Arijit's songs, this news hits hard. His voice made Bollywood music accessible globally. Respect to Ahan for focusing on the artist's wellbeing rather than just the industry's loss.

While I understand an artist's need for change, I wish Arijit had given a clearer reason. His playback singing career felt like it was at its peak. This sudden exit leaves fans confused. Still, thank you for the music, sir.

Maybe this opens doors for other talented singers who've been in Arijit's shadow. The industry needs fresh voices too. Change is always difficult, but can be good in the long run. All the best to Arijit for his next chapter!
