Music composer and filmmaker Vishal Bhardwaj has shared an emotional moment on his social media account where he was seen singing a song recorded by Arijit Singh, further reacting to the singer's recent announcement about stepping away from playback singing.

Sharing the video, Vishal wrote an emotional note where he expressed disbelief over Arijit Singh's decision. He wrote, "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. It's unacceptable."

In the video, Vishal Bhardwaj is seen seated in a set-up that seems to be of a house, singing the song with visible emotion. The song that apparently is from his upcoming movie O Romeo, was been recorded by Arijit Singh on his phone, as stated in the caption written by Vishal.

The singer also thanked his listeners for their unwavering love and support over the years and calling his journey as a playback singer "wonderful".

While I'm as sad as anyone, we should respect his decision. The music industry is brutal with constant pressure and scrutiny. Maybe he just wants peace and a quieter life. Wishing him all the best for whatever he does next.

Honestly, the industry will struggle to fill this void. New singers are good, but there's only one Arijit Singh. His retirement is a massive loss for Indian cinema. Hope he at least does occasional non-film projects or live concerts.

Vishal Bhardwaj's video was so raw and emotional. You can see the genuine artist bond. It's rare. This shows how much Arijit is valued by his peers, not just fans.

As a respectful criticism, while #TakeBackYourSanyaas is catchy, it puts a lot of public pressure on Arijit. Retirement is a personal choice. The man has given us 15+ years of incredible music. Maybe we should just thank him and let him go in peace.

Yaar, this news ruined my day! His voice is like a warm hug. Every breakup, every long drive, every celebration had an Arijit song. End of an era, truly. 😢
