The moment that has gotten Bollywood abuzz is when superstar Aamir Khan made a special trip to Jiaganj, West Bengal, to meet renowned playback singer Arijit Singh at his hometown residence, soon after the singer announced his retirement from playback singing.
Aamir Khan travelled more than 2000 kilometres to reach Arijit’s residence in Murshidabad, where he spent two days with the famous singer. The internet was flooded with viral videos of the actor flying kites on Arijit’s rooftop. Aamir made the meeting extra special by bringing paan to the singer.
People began to speculate about a potential collaboration after observing the timing and nature of the visit. Aamir visited Arijit to persuade him against retirement, according to industry sources, while assessing Arijit for future musical projects. The actor-producer is currently working on several high-profile films, which include a biopic about Dadasaheb Phalke and the period drama Lahore 1947, which he is producing.
The music industry experienced a major disruption when Arijit Singh announced his retirement, as both fans and fellow artists mourned the loss of his distinctive voice, which defined Bollywood music.
Aamir Khan and Arijit Singh have not issued any official statements, making it impossible to determine the reason for their meeting. Fans and industry observers are waiting to see how the historic meeting will impact Indian movies and music.
