In the Bollywood world of fame and glamour, where most artists embrace the fast pace and spotlight of big cities, there is one name that has charmed millions with his voice, yet still lives a life of simplicity and groundedness.
Entertainment: The world of Bollywood is often filled with glitz and show. Big stars thrive in metropolitan cities like Mumbai, cultivating their fame. However, within this industry, there is one name that has made a mark not only in India but also across the globe with his voice, while still maintaining the simplicity of village life. We are talking about Arijit Singh — the voice that sang for hearts in love, yet has always remained grounded.
Arijit's heart resides in his melodies, not in stardom
Arijit Singh never wanted people to see him as a shining star. His dream has always been to become a singer, and that too, a singer whose voice would resonate directly within people's hearts. In an interview with Forbes India, Arijit clearly stated that he doesn't like celebrity culture. For him, singing is everything, and everything else is just noise.
Born in Jiaganj, a small town in the Murshidabad district of West Bengal, Arijit began his musical journey in a very ordinary environment. He participated in reality shows during his struggling days but did not win. Despite this, his voice was remembered by people, and his identity gradually grew in the music industry.
Filmi journey: From "Kedi" to "Aashiqui 2"
Arijit Singh's first opportunity came in the 2010 film "Kedi," but his career truly took off with the superhit songs from "Murder 2" in 2011 and then "Aashiqui 2" in 2013. Songs like "Tum Hi Ho" made Arijit the king of millions of hearts. After that, he never looked back and lent his voice to over 250 films.
His songs are not only heard in India but also around the world. This is why Arijit's international concerts are always houseful.
Life in the village, travel on a scooter
Today, when Arijit Singh is counted among the highest-paid singers in the country, his simple life still surprises people. He lives in his hometown, Jiaganj. Arijit has often been seen in simple clothes, dropping his son off at school or going to the market on his old scooter. In a city like Mumbai, where stars move around in big cars and entourages of bodyguards, Arijit Singh can be seen roaming the village streets on his scooter, just like ordinary people. This is the most beautiful example of his simplicity and groundedness.
Despite his simple lifestyle, Arijit Singh is equally serious about his earnings and responsibilities. According to reports, Arijit is among those Bollywood artists who pay the most taxes.
Music is the greatest passion
Although Arijit has distanced himself from the glamorous world of Mumbai, his relationship with music is just as b. He often travels from his village to Mumbai for music concerts, recordings, or any new project. Arijit has proved that true fame comes from within a person — not from expensive bungalows or glamorous parties.
The charisma of Arijit Singh is that people are not only enamored with his voice, but also with his simplicity. This is why his millions of fans on social media keep sharing stories about his simplicity.
