Composer Jeet Ganguli on Arijit Singh’s retirement from playback singing, “Arijit has done such a good job as playback singer. There is nothing left for him to achieve” : Bollywood News

Arijit Singh’s decision to quit playback singing has saddened his fans. Composer Jeet Ganguli, who has collaborated with Arijit on several songs, feels the singer is entitled to his decisions. “Actually, I would like to say that every artist needs his space. If we look at the history of Indian music, there are many genres in it. Not only film music, there are many other genres. There is the bhajan, ghazal, dhrupad, semi-classical, classical, and Sufi. You will see that our musical culture is very rich.”

Composer Jeet Ganguli on Arijit Singh’s retirement from playback singing, “Arijit has done such a good job as playback singer. There is nothing left for him to achieve”Arijit, noted Jeet, hasn’t abandoned music. “If he wants to work in another genre instead of film music, it’s fine. Actually, Arijit has done such a good job as a playback singer. There is nothing left for him to achieve. He has done many songs with me.”

Jeet confessed that he will miss recording with Arijit. “Yes, definitely, we all will feel bad about it, whether his fans or composers. Because if a good singer doesn’t sing in films, there is a lacuna. But we should allow Arijit to do what he wants. We should leave him to excel in what he wants to, and not be selfish by trying to pull him back. I am with him in his decision because I feel that if he dedicated himself to a different genre, it will be good for him. If he works in the classical field, it will be good for him. So, I think I would like to wish him all the best. Whatever you do, Arijit, do it well.”
