Arijit Singh steps away from playback singing, revisiting his first divorce and quiet family life with his second wife, Koel Roy.
The Indian playback singer Arijit Singh, who people adore, has stopped accepting new movie singing contracts. The singer stated that he would continue making music, but his news created public interest about both his professional work and his hidden personal affairs.
Arijit Singh married Ruprekha Banerjee in 2013, before his fame became complete. The reality show Fame Gurukul, which introduced Arijit to the public, included Ruprekha as his co-contestant. However, the marriage ended quickly. Their relationship ended because of emotional differences and work-related stress, brought about their divorce. Arijit has never spoken publicly about this phase, choosing silence over controversy.
Arijit waited until he had achieved a successful career before he started dating again after his first marriage ended. On January 21, 2014, he wed his childhood friend Koel Roy in a private wedding at Tripathi Temple, which is located in West Bengal. His second marriage developed naturally after he spent many years building his friendship with his wife through mutual understanding.
Arijit and Koel have faced online rumors about their alleged extramarital affair during the past years. The parties involved have never provided any confirmation of the matter. People who know the singer well revealed that their relationship developed through extended periods of friendship, which built into mutual respect.
Koel Roy had a daughter from her previous marriage, and Arijit also had a child from his earlier relationship. The couple now has two boys as their first two children. The couple protects their personal life by keeping their family activities away from public view.
In his announcement, Arijit wrote, “Happy New Year, everyone. I want to thank you all for giving me so much love as a listener over the years. I am happy to announce that from now on, I will not be taking any new assignments as a playback singer. I am stopping here.”
