The Bollywood fraternity is reeling from Arijit Singh’s bombshell decision to pause new playback singing for Hindi films. The singer, celebrated for soul-stirring tracks that define romance on screen, leaves a massive gap. Yet, Gadar 2’s Anil Sharma isn’t giving up, publicly yearning for Arijit’s swift return.
In emotional X posts, Sharma spotlighted ‘Dil Jhoom’ and ‘Khaairiyat’, calling them favorites and crediting Arijit’s genius for elevating his films. He reminisced about past hits like ‘Tera Fitoor’ and implored, ‘Come back soon – the industry, audience, everyone needs your voice.’ Sharing song videos, he declared ‘Khaairiyat’ an instant chart-topper upon first listen.
Rumors swirl around the hiatus: Did Bhushan Kumar’s insistence on Border 2 songs force this? The producer refutes, shifting focus to Arijit. Meanwhile, the artist eyes international ventures, a 2027 world tour, and fulfilling prior Hindi commitments.
Sharma’s tribute underscores Arijit’s profound impact. From heartbreak anthems to wedding favorites, his legacy endures. As whispers of retirement fade against calls for encore, Bollywood holds breath for what might be a temporary farewell.
