Ismail Darbar Praises Arijit Singh's Bold Career Move

Music director Ismail Darbar has voiced his admiration for Arijit Singh's recent retirement from playback singing. Darbar described the singer's move as "brave" and "intelligent," commending the strength it takes to leave a financially rewarding career.

Darbar also shared his personal disappointment about never having collaborated with Singh. He felt a missed opportunity to create something distinct, suggesting their combined talents could have yielded unique musical outputs beyond Singh's established style.

Reflecting on the financial aspects, Darbar noted that Singh's decision demonstrates a sharp business mind, particularly concerning income management amidst social media and music label influence. He acknowledged that Singh is not naive and that his choices are well-calculated, reinforcing the intelligent nature of his career step.

Despite his regret, Darbar emphasized that Singh's success is attributed to his hard work and blessings, not solely to music labels. He humorously mentioned that if given the chance, he would still ask Singh for one last song, though he doubts the singer would agree, acknowledging Singh's independent spirit.
