“I think the words star and celebrity are created and are usually a state of mind rather than an actual thing. More recently, these words are gaining more importance, especially in this industry and show business. This, like any other business is a place where creative people come together to make movies or music,” said Arijit in an exclusive interview with Firstpost.
Games
View AllArijit first came into the limelight when he participated in the 2005 reality show Fame Gurukul that had Javed Akhtar, Shankar Mahadevan and KK as judges with Ila Arun heading the faculty. Although Arijit didn’t win the show, after all these years he seems to be the only contestant who is relevant. Bollywood’s musicscape has always been more about diverse voices, styles — as far as the male playback singers are concerned.
The consensus is that Arijit is a versatile, complete singer. Hence, no wonder, with his arrival, Arijit completely swept over the likes of singers like Shaan, Mohit Chauhan, Atif Aslam, to name a few. Such is the state that many contemporaries of Arijit also sound like him. Whether it is their natural tone or industry demands is an altogether different subject of discussion.
