India Today
Arijit Singh's announcement of his retirement from film playback singing sparked an emotional response from fans, with old posts from Virat Kohli praising the singer's talent resurfacing online.
Arijit Singh, known as the ‘romantic king of Bollywood’ and widely regarded as one of the most beloved playback singers of the modern era, announced his retirement from film playback singing with an emotional post on Tuesday. Amid this development, several old social media posts by India’s star cricketer Virat Kohli have resurfaced and are going viral.
One such post dates back to 2016, when Kohli wrote, “I am probably one of the biggest fans of Arijit Singh. Mesmerised by his talent and soulful voice. I am short of words actually.”
Kohli reiterated his admiration in another post in 2017, calling it a “pure fanboy moment” and adding that no one had ever moved him with their voice the way Arijit had.
Arijit’s admiration for Kohli was also evident during the 2023 ODI World Cup in India. While performing at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad ahead of the India vs Pakistan match on October 14, Arijit spotted Kohli warming up and, overcome with emotion, shouted mid-song, “I love you, Virat,” during the pre-match ceremony.
