Respect his decision, but film music will have a huge void. No one can match his emotional depth. Maybe he'll focus on independent music now? Exciting thought!

I think the industry pressure and constant comparisons must be exhausting. Good for him for prioritizing his peace. But as a fan, it's a big loss. 🎤

While I understand the shock, we should celebrate his incredible contribution. He gave us a decade of timeless music. Maybe this opens doors for new talent too.

Honestly, the music industry needs to reflect. When a gem like Arijit feels the need to step back, something is wrong. Too much politics, maybe? Wishing him the best.

No more new Arijit songs in movies? This feels like the end of an era. But Yashraj Mukhate has a point – his indie work could be amazing! Can't wait to hear what he creates next.
