Arijit said, “They have come to here listen to me not for protest. People are here to hear my music, not to protest. This is not the right place to say. If you wish, there are many Bengalis here, go to Kolkata and get on the road!”
He soon went into performance mode and began singing ‘Ramta Jogi’ from Taal.
Arijit Singh has been touring internationally for some time. Recently, a video emerged from his concert where a fan placed food on stage while he was performing the title track of Ae Dil Hai Mushkil. Upon noticing this, Arijit picked up the food and handed it to his security team.
He apologized to the fan, explaining that he cannot allow food on stage because he considers it a sacred space. He said, “I am sorry, this is my temple. You can’t put food here.”
Arijit Singh also featured internationally renowned singer Ed Sheeran on his show, where they performed Sheeran’s hit song ‘Perfect’ together. While videos from the concert became widely circulated, Arijit also posted photos from the event and expressed his gratitude to Ed for participating.
