Key Takeaways
Mumbai, Jan 30 (NationPress) Actor Sanjay Mishra, who eagerly anticipates the launch of his forthcoming film ‘Vadh 2’, has shared his thoughts on renowned singer Arijit Singh’s choice to retire from playback singing.
During a recent interview with IANS while promoting the film, he expressed his complete support for Arijit’s decision. When asked if being at the pinnacle of success can feel isolating for an artist, he remarked, “How long can one endure the relentless pressure? The heart, though small, feels the weight of loneliness. Surrounded by people, one may still feel solitary. Today, fans may approach a celebrated artist and proclaim, ‘Sir, you are a legend!’. How does one cope with such overwhelming admiration? This is where moments of solitude become essential.”
He continued, “Arijit Singh’s retirement from playback singing is necessary for his well-being. He followed his passion for singing and garnered immense appreciation. Just like I aspired to be an actor, others, including Neena, have pursued acting and received acclaim. At the end of my journey, I want to ensure I made the right choices.”
Previously, Arijit announced his retirement from playback singing with a heartfelt message, expressing gratitude for his journey thus far, stating, “I will not be taking on any new assignments as a playback vocalist from now on. I am stepping away. It has been a remarkable journey.”
Reportedly, the singer is preparing to make his directorial debut with an upcoming film. In 2018, Arijit directed the Bengali movie ‘Sa’, a lyrical tale about a young boy’s bond with music.
Meanwhile, 'Vadh 2' is scheduled for release on February 6, 2026.
