On Arijit Singh’s birthday, a look at why the Murshidabad-born singer has started wearing turban

Arijit Singh has left us all mesmerised with his magical voice. The singer, who had started his music journey by participating in Fame Gurukul back in 2005 but couldn’t even end up as a finalist, is now ruling the charts. Recently, Arijit has often been spotted wearing a turban. Have you also been wondering why? Let us have a look.

WHY ARIJIT SINGH WEARS TURBAN

It was during an online concert on June 6, 2021 that Arijit Singh was spotted wearing a turban for the first time. The singer had then lost his mother just a few weeks back- on May 19. His mother had recovered from Covid-19, but lost her life after suffering from a cerebral stroke. Still reeling from the loss, Arijit Singh held this online concert from his hometown in West Bengal’s Murshidabad- Jiaganj. His turbaned look was a major highlight.

Since then, Arijit Singh has always been spotted covering his head with a turban. But what’s the reason behind it? Well, it is because of the singer’s roots. His mother was a Bengali and his father, Kakkar Singh, is a Sikh. During the pandemic, Singh chose to go back to his roots. Not only did he shift base to Jiaganj from Mumbai, but also started wearing turban. The actor still has a residence in Mumbai but goes back only for work assignments. He has also enrolled his children in a school in Jiaganj and lives there with them along with his wife and his father.

WHEN ARIJIT SINGH TOUCHED MAHENDRA SINGH DHONI’S FEET

Arijit Singh recently performed during the opening ceremony of the Indian Premiere League. The singer sang some of his chartbusters. However, what won everyone’s heart was his gesture towards Chennai Super Kings captain, Mahendra Singh Dhoni. When the duo was sharing the stage, the singer touched the cricketer’s feet, flooring Netizens.

We hope Arijit Singh would continue to gift his fans beautiful music for every mood. Happy birthday, Arijit Singh.
