Singer Shreya Ghoshal has weighed in on Arijit Singh's decision to step away from playback singing in Bollywood, admitting that the thought of taking a break has crossed her mind too.
Shreya praised Arijit for having the courage to make such a brave choice, saying 'He took that decision very bravely…He is a musician from the heart. He doesn't think about why he is making music or what he will get from it. He just does what makes him happy.'
Shreya said that Arijit's sincerity toward music is one of the key reasons audiences feel such a strong connection with him, adding that music is bigger than everything else for Arijit, and that's why people love him so much.
Shreya Ghoshal began her playback singing career with Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Devdas and has since sung in multiple languages, including Hindi, Bengali, Kannada, Telugu, Tamil and Malayalam. She recently announced her The Unstoppable World Tour, with planned performances in the UK, USA, India and Abu Dhabi.
Arijit Singh announced his retirement from playback singing on January 27, stating that he wants the new generation to step forward and inspire him with their talent. While he promised not to stop making music, he clarified that he would not be singing for Bollywood films after completing his current commitments.
