When Arijit Singh Said His Voice Doesn’t Match Shah Rukh Khan, “You Practice A Lot At Night…”

For the past decade, if there’s one singer who’s consistently winning hearts with his melodious voice, it’s Arijit Singh. The singer turns 37 today. From Shah Rukh Khan, Aamir Khan, to Ranbir Kapoor and Ranveer Singh, Arijit has done playback singing for many top Bollywood actors. Along with singing Hindi songs, the talented singer also made people fall in love with his Punjabi and Bengali tracks.

In 2023, Arijit Singh sang for Shah Rukh Khan for all three of his releases—Pathaan, Jawan, and Dunki. The singer also crooned for his movies Chennai Express, Dilwale, Jab Harry Met Sejal, etc. Every song the Laal Ishq singer has sung for the superstar has become a hit. Yet, the singer once said that his voice doesn’t really match the superstar. He has to sculpt it to make it better.

In December 2023, on The Music Podcast, Arijit Singh said, “It’s never about the voice; it’s just about the singing. I have worked very hard to create textures in my voice. It’s like sculpting your voice, because it’s not as if my voice matches Shah Rukh Khan. You practice a lot at night till your throat gets tired, and you go to sleep; when you record the next morning, your baritone opens up.”
