Arijit Singh's Birthday Special: In an era where new faces emerge in the music industry every day, there are some voices that resonate deeply with the heart and stay with us forever. Arijit Singh, a soulful voice that has captured the hearts of millions, is one such artist. Born on April 25, 1987, in the Murshidabad district of West Bengal, Arijit has become a household name today. As he celebrates his 38th birthday, let’s take a look at some lesser-known aspects of his journey.

Early Struggles

SINGER Arijit Singh

Arijit’s connection with music started from a young age, as he grew up in a family surrounded by music. His early training in classical music helped him hone his skills. However, the path to Bollywood wasn’t easy. His career began in 2005 when he participated in the reality show ‘Fame Gurukul’ but didn’t win. Despite this setback, he didn’t give up and went on to win ‘10 Ke 10 Le Gaye Dil’, another show, which helped him start his own recording studio in Mumbai with the prize money—a pivotal moment in his career.

From Singer to Music Producer

After ‘Fame Gurukul’, Arijit worked as an assistant to music directors like Pritam and Mithoon. In 2009, he recorded the song ‘Phir Mohabbat’, which was released in the film ‘Murder 2’ in 2011. This song became a stepping stone to his success, earning him recognition in the industry.

The Stardom with ‘Tum Hi Ho’

Arijit’s real breakthrough came in 2013 with the release of the iconic song ‘Tum Hi Ho’ from the movie ‘Aashiqui 2’. Composed by Mithoon, this song made Arijit a household name and earned him a Filmfare Award, turning him into a superstar overnight. His soulful voice made him the go-to playback singer for emotional tracks across Bollywood.

The Salman Khan Controversy

In 2014, during an award show, a light-hearted remark from Arijit about Salman Khan led to a major controversy. Arijit had said, “Aap logon ne sula diya,” which Salman interpreted as disrespectful. As a result, Arijit was reportedly removed from the song ‘Jag Ghoomeya’ from ‘Sultan’, and the song was re-recorded with Rahat Fateh Ali Khan. This led to a public apology from Arijit on social media, asking for forgiveness, though Salman never responded publicly. This period was emotionally challenging for Arijit.

Healing of Relations and Collaboration with Salman Khan

In 2023, Arijit sang for Salman in the film ‘Tiger 3’, signaling a thaw in their relationship. By 2025, Arijit’s voice was once again featured in the song ‘Hum Aapke Bina’ from Salman’s film ‘Sikandar’, confirming that their past differences had been resolved.

Underworld Threat and Focus on Music

In 2016, Arijit Singh received a threat call demanding a ransom of 5 crores from the underworld. However, Arijit chose to remain focused on his work and stayed away from controversy, letting his music speak for itself.

Personal Life and Family

Before his playback singing career, Arijit was involved in reality shows and had a brief marriage to Ruprekha Banerjee, a co-contestant from ‘Fame Gurukul’. Unfortunately, their marriage ended in less than a year. Arijit later married his childhood friend, Koel Roy, who was previously divorced and had a child from her first marriage. Despite their quiet wedding, Arijit later shared their story, revealing that Koel had always been supportive of his music career and helped him with projects. Arijit also directed a film ‘Sa’ during the International Film Festival of India (IFFI), which he co-wrote with Koel.
