Veteran singer Anuradha Paudwal and music director Lalit Pandit have reacted to Arijit Singh's break from playback singing, a decision that has sent ripples across the music industry and among fans. In a conversation with ANI, the music veterans reflected on Arijit Singh's artistic journey and the impact that he has left on the music industry.

Lalit Pandit on Arijit's Journey and Talent

Renowned music director Lalit Pandit, who has known Arijit Singh from the days of 'Fame Gurukul', shared, "Arijit is a very young man. I have known him for a long time, since the beginning. He sang his first song for me at Tips. After completing 'Fame Gurukul', he came to me for training and Tips had signed him. I could see that he was talented and he sang very well," further hoping to witness another singer like Arijit Singh. "Bass unke jaisa singer aaye toh maza aayega (It would be fun if a singer like him comes)" he said.

Elsewhere, Lalit Pandit went on to declare Arijit Singh as the only good singer to enter the industry in recent years. "He adds a lot to the song - the expression, style, voice quality, and the level of singing. There is no else with a depth in singing as similar as Arijit. He outshines everyone," he continued.

Anuradha Paudwal Calls it a 'Good Decision'

Likewise, veteran artist Anuradha Paudwal was also full of praise for the 'Gehra Hua' singer. While reacting to Arijit Singh's exit from playback singing, Paudwal described it as a "good decision." "If there is a good artist, we want him to go on singing forever. I don't think he has quit music. If he has quit playback singing, he must be having his own good reason. He is not a person who does anything in the name of fame. He is not like that. If he has a feeling that he has got what he wanted, that's it. I think he has taken a very good decision. He has given his best. He has got good songs. It is not very easy to give up something when you are at the number one position. It takes a lot of strength and mental stability," Anuradha Paudwal said.

I am calling it off. It was a wonderful journey," he wrote in his post.
