In 2021, Arijit was in the headlines for asking why Pakistani songs and singers were banned in India.
He said: “I have a question right now. It’s a controversial question but I’m going to ask it.
“I don’t follow the news much but tell me one thing – is Pakistani music still banned in India?

“He said it live to the whole crowd. Arijit Singh deserves all our respect.”
