His internet followers have lauded the singer for his modest demeanour, pointing out that in addition to his enormous talent, he is also well-liked for his nice actions. Along with other shows, he participated in the 2005 reality series Fame Gurukul. But it wasn't until the 2013 release of songs like "Tum Hi Ho" and "Chahun Main Ya Naa" in the movie Aashiqui 2 that he became well-known.

He made headlines recently due to his controversy with Anuradha Paudwal. Anuradha Paudwal had spoken out about Arijit Singh's role in the statement where she spoke about Bollywood's new trend of remixes. She clarified the situation by stating in an official statement, "I have always liked the original song better than a remix. Many people share this sentiment. My criticism of Aaj phir tum pe concerned the remix rather than the performer. Remixes ought to do the original music honour. Numerous songs from the 1990s have been remake, but they seldom do the originals justice. We have also paid respect to musicians, but it was done graciously."
