Aamir Khan Meets Arijit Singh in Bengal Amid Retirement Talks
Aamir Khan’s recent visit to Arijit Singh’s home in Jiaganj, West Bengal, has sparked fresh speculation in the film and music industry. The low-key meeting came shortly after Arijit announced his decision to step away from accepting new playback singing assignments, a move that surprised fans and industry peers alike. While neither Aamir nor Arijit has addressed the purpose of the visit publicly, the timing has fuelled discussions around a possible professional collaboration or a personal intervention.

Videos and photographs from Jiaganj began circulating on social media soon after Aamir Khan’s arrival. The actor was seen greeting photographers briefly before entering the singer’s residence. Later clips showed him on the rooftop of Arijit Singh’s house, flying a kite alongside members of his team. The visuals drew attention from local residents, with people gathering on nearby rooftops to catch a glimpse of the actor.

According to reports cited by The Calcutta Times, Aamir travelled from Kolkata to Jiaganj by road and is expected to stay in the region for nearly two days. Sources said the actor attempted to keep the visit private, though the presence of cameras and viral clips quickly brought it into the spotlight.



Meeting Comes After Arijit’s Playback Retirement Announcement

The visit gained added significance due to its proximity to Arijit Singh’s announcement about withdrawing from playback singing. The singer had shared that he would no longer take on new assignments after completing his pending commitments this year, marking the end of a 15-year journey as one of Hindi cinema’s most influential voices. While stepping away from playback work, Arijit made it clear that he would continue creating music independently and focus on personal artistic growth.

This decision led to widespread concern and debate within the music community, with fans expressing disappointment and curiosity about what prompted the change.

Aamir Khan and Arijit Singh share a strong professional history. Arijit’s voice has featured prominently in several Aamir Khan films, including emotionally driven tracks from Dangal, Laal Singh Chaddha, and Sitaare Zameen Par. Industry insiders have often noted Aamir’s hands-on approach to music, with the actor known to be present during key recording sessions for his films.

Sources close to the singer told media outlets that Arijit prefers recording in the evenings, when his voice is at its best, and that Aamir is particular about being involved in the musical process. This background has strengthened speculation that the Jiaganj meeting may be linked to an upcoming project.

Speculation Around Future Projects

Reports suggest that Aamir Khan currently has several films in development, including a Dadasaheb Phalke biopic, Ek Din with his son Junaid Khan, and Lahore, 1947. While some sources believe the meeting may involve discussions about music for one of these projects, others feel it could simply be a personal visit to support Arijit during a transitional phase.

As of now, both Aamir Khan’s and Arijit Singh’s teams have declined to comment. With no official confirmation, the purpose of the visit remains unclear.
