Vishal Shelke, a music composer, is famous for his remarkable work in a number of films. He also composed songs for the upcoming film "Bhabiji Ghar Par Hain." What would Arijit do next? Arijit's decision to stop singing had saddened many of his fans. Vishal shared his views on this issue and spoke candidly about Arijit's decision.

When Vishal spoke with Arijit personally, he learned that Arijit was not retiring, but rather wanted to devote his time to music and other pursuits. Speaking to Money Control, he said, "The reason behind Arijit's decision isn't just the obvious one. There's more to it. Arijit has decided to no longer pursue playback singing. However, he will remain involved in music. He will continue to compose and sing his own songs. He also has his own channel, so he will continue working in music. He will also perform in concerts in the future."

Vishal Shelke further explained, "Arijit's decision stems from his growing passion for storytelling and creative work beyond music. Arijit has a keen interest in filmmaking. He may be making his own film. This is the area Arijit is currently focusing on. This is why Arijit has decided to quit playback singing."

Arijit Singh surprised everyone last month by suddenly announcing his retirement from playback singing. The singer wrote on social media, "Hello, Happy New Year to all of you." Thank you all for giving me so much love as listeners over the years. I am happy to announce that I will not be taking any new assignments as a playback vocalist from now on. I am saying goodbye. It has been a wonderful journey." However, Arijit clarified that he will continue to make music and perform in concerts.
