Vishal Dadlani, renowned singer and composer, has weighed in on Arijit Singh’s unexpected retirement from playback singing, emphasizing that “Success doesn’t guarantee peace.” Dadlani urged everyone to cherish the fleeting moments of life and to live authentically, rather than conforming to others’ expectations. In a heartfelt Instagram post, he expressed, “Have you learned anything? Success doesn’t equate to peace or fulfillment. Wealth and power don’t ensure safety. Life is peculiar and brief; don’t squander a moment deceiving yourself. Be true to who you are!” He concluded with a powerful reminder: “Live Fully.” Dadlani poetically noted, “All we truly possess is the ephemeral ‘now’ that exists between memory and aspiration.” The music community is still reeling from Arijit’s announcement, made via Instagram, where he revealed, “Hello, Happy New Year to all. Thank you for your immense love over the years. I am stepping away from playback singing and won’t be accepting new projects. It has been an incredible journey.” He expressed deep gratitude for the unwavering support from his fans. In response to Arijit’s decision, fellow artist Armaan Malik commented on the importance of the soul guiding one through life’s transitions, stating, “The soul knows when it’s time to change direction. What’s being offered no longer aligns with its highest purpose. I trust the journey ahead! Thank you for everything you’ve contributed to playback singing, Arijit Singh.”
