Arijit Singh Returns to the Stage in Kolkata with Anoushka Shankar After Playback Retirement, Says ‘I Am So Nervous’
Months after stepping away from playback singing, Arijit Singh made an emotional return to live performance in Kolkata alongside Anoushka Shankar.
Arijit Singh marked a heartfelt return to the stage in his hometown of Kolkata, performing alongside renowned sitarist Anoushka Shankar months after announcing his retirement from playback singing. The special live performance drew widespread attention, not just for the musical collaboration but also for the singer’s candid admission of nerves as he addressed the audience.
“I am so nervous,” Arijit told the crowd, reflecting the emotional weight of the moment. Known for his soulful voice and chart-topping Bollywood hits, Arijit’s decision to step back from playback singing had earlier sparked intense discussion among fans and industry insiders.
Sharing the stage with Anoushka Shankar added a unique classical-contemporary dimension to the performance, blending Arijit’s emotive vocals with her globally acclaimed sitar artistry. The collaboration was seen as a celebration of musical roots rather than a commercial comeback.
While Arijit has not clarified whether this appearance signals a full return to playback singing, the Kolkata performance reaffirmed his deep connection with live music and his audience, offering fans a rare and intimate glimpse into a new chapter of his musical journey.
