Arijit Singh’s breakthrough performance came about after his sensational debut with Aashiqui 2. His songs were an instant hit, as they tug a chord in everyone’s hearts. Fast forward to now, he has established himself as one of the most successful singers. However, his journey to stardom wasn’t a smooth-sailing one. Previously, in one of his interactions with The Music Podcast, Arjit had revealed how people disliked his original voice, and he had to train himself brutally to arrive at the melody and texture that he has now. In his words:
“Meine toh apne voce ko toda hai, mera voice thodi aisa tha pehle. Mera voice alag e tha. Who voice back karne ke liye mujhe 2-3 mahina saab chor dena parega, but people hated that voice. Meine jab usss voice mei ganna shuru kia tha, people didn’t like that voice at all. So, I had to change my voice. to kind of cut through. Gaale ko tod tod ke textures banaya hai meine. It’s almost like sculpting your voice. Bohot torture kia ha apne aap ko ek tarike se taaki voice ka projection alag ho jaye, bascally voice ka muscle banne jaisa.”
In the same interaction, Arijit Singh discussed the prevalent use of AI even in the music industry and revealed how many people try to copy or imitate his voice using such tools. The singer remarked how he thus wants to patent his voice and license it, so that it doesn’t get misused by anyone. Moreover, Arijit added that he doesn’t mind others using his voice, if they use it for good purposes related to singing.

Despite attaining such immense stardom, Arijit Singh is one such rare artist who, in his personal life, tends to keep it extremely low-key. For instance, the artist reportedly stays in his hometown in Murshidabad, and it is only due to work that he travels to Mumbai. Moreover, in several viral glimpses of the singer from his native place, he can be seen carrying out regular chores like an ordinary person would, without any hesitation. Speaking along the same lines, Arijit, in an earlier interview with The Statesman, revealed how nothing hasn’t changed for him in all these years. He expressed:
“Words such as ‘star’ and ‘celebrity’ are imaginary creations. These words have gained more importance lately, especially in this industry and show business. This, like any other business, is a place where creative people come together to make movies or music. So, nothing has really changed it’s still the same. I still enjoy a quiet and simple life the way I used to.”
