‘Bollywood folks tried to pull Arijit Singh down, got offended when he said no to songs': Amaal Mallik says singer says no to ‘Rs 1 cr for a song', wants good work
Singer Arijit Singh and music composer Amaal Mallik have collaborated on multiple popular songs like 'Sooraj Dooba Hain' from Roy (2015) and 'Soch Na Sake' from Airlift (2016), and 'Roke Na Ruke Naina' (from Badrinath Ki Dulhania, 2017). Amaal regards Arijit as the number one singer of India, and at par with global artists, even above his younger brother Armaan Malik. 'Arijit is a very good human being. He never wants to snatch away somebody else's song and never compares someone's achievements to another. He doesn't show off he's the number 1 singer of India, although he is. There are many good singers, no doubt, but the guy who can sing 'Binte Dil' (from Padmaavat, 2018), 'Sooraj Dooba Hai', 'Palat – Tera Hero Idhar Hai' (Main Tera Hero, 2014), 'Duaa' (from Shanghai, 2012), Tum Hi Ho (from Aashiqui 2, 2013), and 'Zamaana Lage' (from Metro… In Dino, 2025), no one else can sing all these that well. That voice now flows in the bloodstreams of all Indians,' reasoned Amaal. In the interview with Mirchi Plus, he revealed that a lot of people in the music industry try to drop him from songs. 'The one who has God by him, or who has blessings of his family and good karma by his side, you can't stop him,' said Amaal, adding, 'I don't know what he's made of. He's the closest to God in this industry.' Amaal confessed he learnt from Arijit how to do his work very quietly. He recalled how his friends visited the studio to witness him and Arijit working together on 'Roke Na Ruke Naina'. Standing outside the studio, they didn't even realize Arijit has already made his way into the studio and recorded the song for 30 minutes. 'He's not here to prove a point,' said Amaal, adding, 'What the both of us relate on is that we can't be bought. If you give him Rs 1 crore and ask him to sing a song, he'd return it and say, 'Bring me a good song.' A lot of composers get offended by him that they're offering their best songs to him, but he doesn't want to sing those. Because he's probably sung so many songs of that genre that he's exhausted. He also says, 'I don't want to tire myself out. I have nothing to prove. How many songs do I need to sing?' He's sung 800 songs across languages in 10 years. So shouldn't he do his shows, travel the world, and spend time with his wife and kids, instead of singing your 100 songs?' Also Read — Ed Sheeran 'loves' Shah Rukh Khan and drinking coffee with Arijit Singh: 'These guys were some of the best…' Amaal revealed that in the last three to four years, actors and music labels have been trying to promote other singers in place of Arijit. 'You can't screw his success. But those who they can damage, they're fully supressing them. If a singer or a composer doesn't sign the label, they'd be dropped from songs. Every label needs their singers and composers, which is fair, but what audience wants is also important, right? You make your five singers and five composers sing, but also mix it up once in a while otherwise it gets redundant,' said Amaal.
