“Please ask Arijit over the phone; this is all nonsense,” Bhushan Kumar said, putting an end to speculation that linked him to the singer’s alleged retirement.

According to a Reddit user’s claim, the tipping point was a forced remake of a patriotic song, which Arijit reportedly did not agree with creatively but was still expected to sing as part of contractual obligations. However, it’s important to note that these claims remain unverified. Reports suggest that Arijit Singh has announced his retirement from playback singing and will not be taking on any new film assignments.
