Arijit Singh is the most bankable singer that
we have in India currently. While the singer
is known for his soulful and goosebumps-
inducing vocals for emotional and love
songs, his versatility will shock you.
We can't imagine a movie without an Arijit
Singh song and now Mumbaikars have a
chance to witness the musical marvel as he
brings his India Tour to Mumbai on March
24, 2018, at MMRDA Grounds 6:30 pm,
onwards.
Pinkvilla sat down for an EXCLUSIVE
interaction with Arijit Singh who spoke
about the singers who lift his mood up,
remaking old Hindi songs, social media and
musicians not getting due credit in
Bollywood.
Read the full excerpt of the interview below:
You are one of the most bankable singers
and every movie has to have at least one
Arijit Singh song. Is there any added
pressure on you?
I don't take any pressure from anyone. I
simply put in my best to any project. Don't
get perturbed by pressure from anyone.
Whatever mood we are in, there is always
an Arijit Singh song to lift our mood up. But,
who does Arijit listen to the most?
Ustad Amir Khan Sahab, Ustad Rashid Khan
Sahab, Ravi Shankar, Ustad Amjad Ali Khan
Sahab. In the popular music scenario, I love
Kishore Kumar, Hemant Mukherjee, Lata
Mangeshkar. In more recent times I've loved
Jagjit Singh, Sonu Nigam - they are my idols.
KK, Atif and Papon are my current favourites.
From the West - Robin Williams, John Legend
and John Mayer.
What is your view on actors who take up
singing for their own movies?
What are your views on actors who take up
singing for their own movies? Every person
can explore their creativity. There are no
boundaries and no limits. I don't want to
judge anybody.
Would you be willing to be more active on
social media for your fans?
I did this India Tour to get more close to my
fans. I enjoy a silent and quiet life away from
fame. It's the way I have always been and
thereby I try to refrain myself from using
social media. It is also because I don't like
being called a celebrity but lately, the growth
of social media has been such that it has
become difficult.
What do you have to say about the recent
trend of remaking old Hindi songs?
What do you have to say about the recent
trend of remaking old Hindi songs? Again,
there are no rules or limits to creativity. As
long as people appreciate music in
whatever genre they consume its good for
the musicians and good for the music
scene.
Do you think musicians in Bollywood get
their due credit?
I think there is only one topic that interests
me and many musicians in our country. It is
- Royalty. I think this is one drawback we
face as singers in India. If we get a royalty
for the songs we sing, we can consider our
future secured.
How excited are you to bring your tour to
Mumbai?
I am super excited and confident about the
upcoming show in Mumbai of the India
Tour. I've worked with Wizcraft in the past
and I'm very delighted with the opportunity
they gave me. It is one the best experiences
that I have had in a long time. The songs
which I will play are going to be a surprise
for my audience. But I can say that I will be
singing most of my chart-buster songs. It is
going to be a good 3-hour long musical
evening in Mumbai.
What can fans expect from an Arijit Singh
concert?
My fans have understood that they have to
create their own moments in their space
while listening to my songs in their own
personal individual cocoon. I just want them
to be my guests and enjoy their time.
