In the caption, Jaani expressed deep admiration for Singh, calling him his “Murshad” or mentor. He began with poetic Punjabi lines, “Ni Duniya’n aa Mere Koll aa / Ni Jaadu dassa’n Tainu / Svaa sat Saal baad Mileyaa / Mera Murshad aa Mainu.”
He added, “Dada I will never forget your love, saadgi and purity!! I always used to ask myself, why you are the G.O.A.T…….now I have all the answers! What I have seen is totally extraordinary hard work. We learned life in 7 days because of you and your team! Thanks to you, your family and your team.”
Jaani praised Singh’s humility, purity, and dedication, attributing these qualities to his status as the Greatest of All Time (G.O.A.T.). He noted that the seven days spent with Singh and his team offered profound life lessons, extending beyond music.
Earlier, Jaani shared photos of a jamming session with his team and posted a close-up of his guitar signed by Arijit Singh, “Bunny, Sagar, Jaani — God bless you. Prayers and love.”
Fans have speculated about a potential collaboration, with one fan page captioning: “Seven years later, Jaani links up with Arijit Singh and the energy screams new music in the making.”
The Instagram update comes after Arijit returned to the stage in Kolkata for his first live show following his retirement from playback singing. He performed alongside sitarist Anoushka Shankar, delighting fans.
Meanwhile, Bollywood actor-producer Aamir Khan visited Arijit’s hometown in Jiaganj for his production ‘Ek Din’, for which Arijit lent his voice. Starring Junaid Khan and Sai Pallavi, the film is produced under Aamir Khan Productions.
Aamir shared, “Thank you, Arijit, for lending your voice to our film Ek Din. The four days spent with you, your family, and your team felt magical. Love, A.”
Arijit had earlier shocked fans by announcing he would no longer take on new playback assignments, calling his career a “wonderful journey”, “Hello, Happy New Year to all. I want to thank you all for giving me so much love over the years as listeners. I am happy to announce that I am not going to be taking any new assignments as a playback vocalist from now on.
