The Indian music industry was recently shaken by Arijit Singh's announcement that he would be stepping away from playback singing, a decision that has sparked widespread reactions from fans and industry professionals alike. For over a decade, Singh's soulful voice has served as the soundtrack to countless love stories, heartbreaks, and memorable moments in the lives of millions.
Aditi Rao Hydari's Emotional Response
Among those who have publicly reacted to this significant announcement is acclaimed actress Aditi Rao Hydari, who recently shared her thoughts during a conversation with ANI. The 'Heeramandi' star expressed deep affection for the singer and admitted she would greatly miss his distinctive voice in the industry.
"A Creator Will Always Create"
Hydari articulated a philosophical perspective on artistic expression, stating: "Oh my God, I love Arijit Singh. He'll be missed. I'll miss him so much. I'll miss his voice. But, you know, I believe that an artist is always an artist. A creator is always a creator. And anything can happen. But the power, the will, the dream, the love to create stays within you. And a creator will always create. So, he will always sing."
The actress further elaborated on her belief that Singh's musical journey is far from over, regardless of his decision to step back from playback singing. "Whether he's singing in a forest to the birds or he's singing for us, you know, he's singing. He's singing somewhere, and I think that's beautiful, and he will create, and he will do something incredible," she added with evident admiration.
Recent Collaboration and Past Work
Hydari's connection to Singh's music extends beyond mere appreciation as a listener. The singer recently lent his voice to 'Sunhari Kirne' from the film 'Gandhi Talks', which stars both Aditi Rao Hydari and Vijay Sethupathi. The musical composition for this project was handled by the legendary AR Rahman.
This wasn't their first professional intersection either. Back in 2015, Arijit Singh had provided vocals for the song 'Sooiyan' from the film 'Guddu Rangeela', which featured Aditi Rao Hydari alongside Amit Sadh.
Understanding Arijit Singh's Decision
Arijit Singh made his retirement announcement from playback singing through his social media channels, where he expressed gratitude for the overwhelming love and support he has received throughout his career. While he stated he would no longer be accepting new playback singing projects, reports suggest the artist is exploring new creative avenues.
Industry sources indicate that Singh is planning to venture into film direction for his next project. Interestingly, rumors suggest that Nawazuddin Siddiqui's daughter, Shora Siddiqui, might be making her acting debut in this anticipated directorial venture.
The entertainment world continues to process this significant transition as one of India's most beloved playback singers embarks on a new chapter in his artistic journey, while colleagues like Aditi Rao Hydari celebrate his past contributions and anticipate his future creations.
