Singer and composer Adnan Sami has supported Arijit Singh’s decision to retire from playback singing. Adnan said that Arijit’s move should be respected and no speculation should be made about it. Arijit had surprised the film industry and fans by suddenly announcing his retirement on social media this year. Adnan said – Arijit’s decision is not hasty
In an interview with news agency PTI, 54-year-old Adnan Sami said, “Arijit has decided to retire from playback singing with full consciousness. We should respect his decision. This is not a hasty decision, but rather one backed by deep thought.” Adnan said this during the launch of his new single ‘Lipstick Laga Ke, Nazar Utar Le’, released under Zee Music Company. Arijit is not obliged to give a reason
Adnan further said that it is not at all necessary for Arijit to tell the public his reason. He said, “There must be some big reason behind this, which he himself knows better. There is no need to tell the world immediately.” Everyone will know when the time comes. This is his life, when he feels comfortable, he will share the reason himself. Until then, we should give him personal space. Quit Singing at the Peak of His Career
This January, Arijit Singh bid farewell to playback singing at the highest point of his career. He shared this information via an Instagram post. Arijit wrote – Hello, Happy New Year everyone, thank you for all the love over the years. I am happy to announce that I will no longer be taking on new assignments as a playback vocalist. I am ending it here. This journey has been wonderful. God has been very kind. Adnan said – no one puts a gun to your head
On the question of pressure from music companies, Adnan clearly stated that every company has its own policy. Some companies are very strict and some give complete freedom to artists. He said, “If you don’t like their policy, no one is putting a gun to your head. The problem arises when the artist himself starts thinking that if he doesn’t comply, he will get into trouble. The artist himself lets this pressure dominate him.” A look at Arijit Singh’s career Arijit Singh was born on April 25, 1987, in Jiaganj, West Bengal.
