Arijit Singh's simplicity despite huge income
They shared that the singer’s earnings from a single wedding performance were so significant that he managed to buy a duplex apartment in Mumbai solely from that income. Raftaar, reflecting on Arijit’s success, said, “The amount of money he (Arijit) makes is crazy and the person he is. People in the music industry think of themselves as rich, they even look rich, this includes us, but Arijit can have 100 of us for lunch.”
The rapper further likened Arijit’s unassuming personality to global music icon Eminem, who also keeps his personal life out of the limelight despite his unparalleled achievements.

When Arijit Singh took a duplex in Mumbai for performing in a wedding
“He did a show once, he went out, his car was taking time to come. He sat in the auto in front of him and left for home. I will share another instance, he doesn’t like doing wedding performances, somebody insisted that he perform, and in return, he took a duplex house in Mumbai. One should check how much a duplex house costs in Mumbai. He got that for 1-1.5 hour performance,” he further said.
Ikka also mentioned legendary composer AR Rahman while emphasisng Arijit’s stature. “Rahman sir takes Rs 3 crores to do a live show. Just check how much Arijit sir takes. It’s about timing also, but he isn’t making noise about it—and that’s the difference,” he added.
Arijit performed at the lavish wedding of Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant, where he shared the stage with iconic artists like Shreya Ghoshal, Sukhwinder Singh, Udit Narayan, and Lucky Ali.
Moreover, in August, Arijit made history by becoming the first Indian music artist to cross 100 million followers on Spotify, solidifying his global appeal.
