Profession
In 2005, he took part in the reality show “Fame Gurukul” on the advice of his mentor Rajendra Prasad Hazari, which was the first stepping stone to his career. However, he lost the race in sixth place. Since then, he has participated in another reality show “10 Ke 10 Le Gaye Dil” and won the competition. He put all the money he got from the show to build his own studio. There, he composed music as a freelance artist for TV channels, commercials and radio stations. He has also freelanced for music directors such as Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy, Vishal-Shekhar, Mithoon, Monty Sharma and Pritam. He started singing in Telugu movies. His first song was “Neeve Na Neeve Na” in the movie Kedi (2010).
His Bollywood debut was the song “Phir Mohabbat” in Murder 2. The song was recorded in 2009 but released in 2011. In the same year, the song “Raabta” was released, with four versions in the film Agent Vinod (2018); one of them was a solo version of Arijit.

dispute
- In September 2013, he was arrested for assaulting a journalist who asked him about his divorce from his wife Koyel. Arijit Singh said he only attacked the camera, not the cameraman; because he did not stop recording even when Arijit asked him to. Behrampore CJM Court later granted him bail.
- In May 2016, he released a letter asking Salman Khan to keep his (Arijit’s) version of “Jag Ghoomeya” from the movie “The Sultan.” However, he deleted the post a few hours later. The possible reason for the feud between the two seems to come from an incident at the 2014 Stars Guild Awards Ceremony. Arijit was called to the stage to accept the award and Salman had just finished his performance in “Prem Ratan Dhan Payo” and presented the award to Arijit. Arijit came on stage and said “Aap logo ne toh sula diya”, which Salman might have felt insulted by.
