Arijit's voice is a national treasure. Thank God Aamir sir intervened! Hindi film music would have a huge void without him. Mansoor Khan and Aamir Khan reuniting is the cherry on top. 2026 feels so far away for 'Ek Din'!

I'm happy he's back, but I hope this retirement announcement wasn't just a publicity stunt for the new film. It feels a bit calculated. That said, the collaboration sounds epic.

This is such a sweet story. "Aisa mat kar yaar" – that line is so typically Bollywood and so genuine. It's nice to see legends supporting each other. The industry needs more of this camaraderie.

Aamir Khan going to his hometown shows he values talent over everything. Arijit must have been really touched. Also, Mansoor Khan returning? This is a dream team revival. QSQT vibes!

As a fan from West Bengal, I feel so proud that Arijit Singh, from our Murshidabad, is so respected that a superstar like Aamir comes to his home. It's a big moment for our state's talent. ❤️
