Social media is once again buzzing with dramatic theories, this time dragging Salman Khan and Arijit Singh into the spotlight. A section of fans has begun speculating that Salman Khan could be the reason behind Arijit Singh’s retirement from playback singing, following viral clips and memes circulating online.
The chatter intensified after fans revisited Matroobhumi, a song reportedly sung by Arijit Singh for Battle of Galwan, starring Salman Khan. Social media users pointed out what they claim is poor lip sync in the song, joking that the mismatch was so distracting it “forced” Arijit to quit singing altogether. The claim has since snowballed into a full blown conspiracy theory.
Arijit Singh announces his retirement from playback singing.
Arijit Singh dropped a bomb of calling it off from his playback singing. His statement read, ” “Hello, Happy new year to all. I want to thank you all for giving me so much of love all these years as listeners. I am happy to announce that I am not gonna be taking any new assignments as a playback vocalist from now on. I am calling it off. It was a wonderful journey”.
As for Salman Khan, there is no evidence to suggest any link between him and Arijit Singh stepping away from playback singing. The lip sync debate appears to be driven largely by meme culture and online exaggeration rather than fact.
Meanwhile Arijit fans are waiting for him to do something crazy soon. While his fellow singers extended support to him after his retirement.
