Arijit Singh scolds concertgoers asking for Kolkata rape-murder song

Arijit Singh, who is currently performing in the UK, responded to a fan's request to sing his protest song "Aar Kobe," written for a rape and murder victim from Kolkata's RG Kar. A video of this moment was shared on Instagram by the account rahul__roy983, capturing it from one of his recent shows.

In the video, Arijit was singing "Ramta Jogi" from Taal when he got the request. He stopped mid-song and responded, "This is not the place, people haven't come here to protest. Ya? They have come here to listen to me. That's my job, right? That is my heart, that one you are saying. Not the right time, right place."

"If you really feel about it, go. Go to Kolkata. Yes. Gather some people, a lot of Bengalis are here. Go on the street. Ya? That song is not monetised. It will never be monetised. It is not copyright. Anybody can use it." Arijit then went on singing the track before stopping again and telling the fan, "That song is not monetised. It will never be monetised... Anybody can use it."

The caption along with the video reads, “Arijit Singh gets annoyed when a fan requested him to play Aar Kobe a protest song he created after the events in Kolkata,” he continued.
