Singer Arijit Singh recorded the song, Aar Kobe, in the wake of the Kolkata rape-murder incident
Popular singer Arijit Singh refused to sing at a UK concert a song he composed in the aftermath of the rape-murder of a doctor in Kolkata. The song 'Aar Kobe' has emerged as an anthem of sorts amid massive protests over the doctor's rape-murder at RG Kar Medical College and Hospital last month.
While on stage, someone from the crowd requested Mr Singh to sing 'Aar Kobe'. "This is not the place. People haven't come here to protest. They have come here to listen to me. That's my job. And what you are saying is my heart. This is not the right time and place," the singer is heard saying in a video that has emerged on social media.
"If you really feel about it, go to Kolkata. Gather some people, a lot of Bengalis are here, go, on the street," he added, before returning to the 'Ramta Jogi' song from 1999 movie Taal.
