Hanumankind shared his opinion, emphasising that Arijit's decision stems from a profoundly personal place. 

According to TOI, he stated, "He comes from a different space." The man decided for himself. You have to appreciate it since he bears the weight of his work alone. Whatever happens to the industry after that is secondary to the guy," he stated. His comments mirrored a rising belief that personal health should take precedence above professional obligations.

Hanumankind, who is now having a successful run with his latest piece, also discussed exhaustion and the consequences of celebrating continual hustling. According to him, creativity cannot withstand constant pressure. "Don't dwell on the music for too long. If you add too much fire, it will burn. Take a step backward. "Too much of a good thing can turn bad," he explained, emphasising the importance of balance.

"If you don't have space, try to find it," he said, pushing artists to value mental breathing space. He also criticised the inclination to criticise individuals who walk away, saying, "Don't blame people for crashing out and burning. Life is stressful. Sometimes it seems like everyone is trying to get you."
