Arijit Singh, one of Bollywood's most beloved singers, captured the hearts of his fans once again during a live concert in Chandigarh on February 16. In a moment that added a personal touch to his performance, Singh took a phone call from his father right in the middle of his soulful rendition of the track "Sajni" from Laapataa Ladies. A fan shared a video of the heartwarming incident on Instagram, where Singh, engrossed in his performance, stopped for a moment to pick up his phone. As he waved at the screen, his father's face appeared on the call, prompting loud cheers from the audience. Singh smiled warmly and said, "My father is on the video call," before giving a thumbs-up and seamlessly continuing his performance, much to the delight of his fans.
This endearing moment added an extra layer of connection between the singer and his audience, reflecting his down-to-earth personality despite his immense fame. The fans in the audience cheered enthusiastically as Singh effortlessly balanced his family connection and his performance.
On February 18, Singh shared snippets from the Chandigarh concert on his Instagram, expressing his gratitude to the city for the love and support. His caption read, "Thank you, Chandigarh, for showing so much love at my concert as always! Can't wait to be back soon." The post reflected Singh's genuine appreciation for his fans and his love for performing live.
The Chandigarh performance was part of the ongoing India leg of his concert tour, which began in Bengaluru on November 30 of the previous year. Following his successful shows in cities like Hyderabad, Ahmedabad, Jaipur, and Gurugram, Singh is now gearing up for upcoming performances in Cuttack on March 2, Pune on March 16, Mumbai on March 23, and Indore on April 5. The tour will culminate in Chennai on April 27, giving fans across India the opportunity to experience his magical voice in person.
Earlier this month, another heartwarming moment featuring Singh went viral when a video surfaced online showing him and international pop sensation Ed Sheeran enjoying a scooter ride together in Singh's hometown of Jiaganj in Murshidabad, West Bengal. Sheeran, who was in India as part of his Mathematics India Tour, joined Singh for the casual ride, which further endeared Singh to his fans as someone who remains grounded despite his success.
