Playback singer shaan It has had weight in the ongoing debate about the reports Arijit Singh Push back from Bollywood playback singing, saying people are reading too much into the situation.Speaking to Bombay Humans, Shaan suggested that artists often make statements about slowing down or taking breaks, but that doesn’t necessarily mean the end of an era.“I don’t think he wrote that in blood,” Shaan said. “In the past people have said this is it, I let it go, and then the next one comes back. I think people read too much into it.”
“Music is now more open than ever”
Reflecting on the changing music industry, Shaan said the landscape has transformed dramatically with the rise of digital platforms and independent music.“The point is that it’s now open to many because of the new format. People don’t have to go through a music company or a music composer. They’re making music themselves,” he explained.According to Shaan, the accessibility of music creation has changed how artists approach their careers, and the industry has become much more diverse than in his peak years as a playback singer.

During the interview, Shaan also recalled an argument he had with singer Kailash Kher about singers being asked to improvise during gatherings.However, Shaan said that he personally has no problem singing when asked, as long as the setting is right.“If my voice is in good shape and I’m not struggling with something emotionally, I’ll be happy to sing a couple of lines. If someone says, ‘Do line gaa do yaar,’ what’s the big deal?” he said
“I’ve never felt tired from singing”
Countering suggestions that singers may suffer from burnout due to overexposure and heavy workload, Shaan said he has never felt this way.“There was a time when I sang three to four times more than what Arijit sang at his peak,” he said, adding that many of those songs were from smaller films and never reached a wide audience.While he acknowledged that every artist processes their work differently, Shaan suggested that Arijit Singh’s deep and honest approach to music may be the reason why he wants to lighten his workload.“Arijit is a very intense person. He takes his music very seriously. He may have felt that too much work was coming and he wanted to cut it,” said Shaan.Despite the changes in the industry, Shaan said his passion for music has not changed.“Most of us love it. Give me a microphone and I want to keep singing. I love it,” he concluded.
