On April 23, 2026, Arijit Singh, one of India's most beloved singers, voted in the Assembly Elections at a polling booth in Jiaganj, Murshidabad district, West Bengal. Accompanied by his wife, Koel Roy, he maintained a low-key presence while engaging playfully with the media. When asked to show his inked finger, he humorously declined, stating, “I’ve already cast my vote – now you want me to show my finger too?” His father, Surinder Singh, also participated in the voting process, reporting a smooth experience. The elections saw impressive voter turnout, with West Bengal recording 91.91% and Tamil Nadu 84.80%. Earlier this year, Arijit announced he would no longer take on new playback singing projects, although he clarified that he would continue making music and has a backlog of songs to release. His recent independent single, 'Raina', has received positive feedback, adding to his extensive repertoire that includes hits like 'Tum Hi Ho' and 'Channa Mereya'.
