Singer Abhijeet Sawant has criticized Bollywood’s treatment of playback singers, citing systemic issues like low pay, lack of royalties, and pressure to accept unfavorable terms for career opportunities.
His comments, made on Pentarise Studios’ YouTube channel, follow Arijit Singh’s 2026 retirement announcement, which highlighted the emotional and financial toll of the profession.
Sawant noted that singers often prioritize visibility over fair compensation, fearing replacement, and are paid fixed fees that prevent them from gaining fame that could overshadow films.
He contrasted India’s model with international practices, where artists earn lifetime royalties.
