Music composer Pritam Chakraborty opened up about the real reason behind Arijit Singh stepping away from playback singing. Recently, he said that the singer was overwhelmed by constant professional pressure and simply needed a break from the industry.

In an interview, Pritam clarified that Arijit’s decision should not be viewed as a permanent retirement. According to him, the singer had been under immense pressure to continuously deliver songs and had become exhausted with the demands of commercial music.

Explaining the situation, Pritam told Screen, "Arijit was under so much pressure to sing so many songs that he said, 'I don’t even want to sing anymore.' Sometimes, directors also pressurise all of us. I also feel bad to say no to them. He wants to make his film now. Give him time, he’ll be all okay."

The composer urged fans not to overanalyse the word “retirement” and instead allow Arijit the freedom to step back and focus on what he truly wants to do. He suggested that every artiste reaches a point where they need distance from constant expectations and work pressure.
