Mumbai: Singer and music composer Vishal Dadlani took to social media to pen an insightful note on success and survival after playback singer Arijit Singh’s decision to retire from playback singing left everyone shell-shocked.
On Thursday, Vishal took to his Instagram handle and shared that ‘success’ does not ‘guarantee’ peace or contentment and thus, one should live life to the fullest.
“All we truly have is the thin sliver of “now” that exists between memory and hope,” Vishal captioned the note.
“Learn anything? Success does not guarantee peace or contentment. Riches & power don’t guarantee safety. Life is strange, life is short. Don’t waste a single moment lying to yourself about yourself. Don’t try to be what somebody else said you must be! Live. Fully. Best advice I can give,” read the note.
Arijit’s sudden announcement on Tuesday created a buzz in the industry and social media.
Vishal is best known for his work in Bollywood as part of the duo Vishal-Shekhar.
He has composed songs for films including ‘Om Shanti Om’, ‘Anjaana Anjaani’, ‘Dostana’, ‘I Hate Luv Storys’, ‘Bang Bang’, ‘Sultan’, ‘Student of the Year’, ‘Befikre’ and ‘War’.
