Aamir Khan Convinced Arijit Singh to Sing 5 Songs for Son Junaid’s Film

In a conversation with journalist Subhash K Jha, Aamir Khan revealed what transpired during his visit to Murshidabad

to meet Arijit Singh. He said that he wasn’t there to convince Arijit to not quit singing for films, even though he did try his best to persuade him to reconsider. “I was in Murshidabad a few days ago. I wasn’t there to convince Arijit not to quit singing for films. I was there for another purpose. Though I did try my best to persuade him to reconsider, it was in vain. He seems to have made up his mind,” said Aamir.

Revealing the real reason behind his visit, Aamir said, “I was there for his rendering of the Ek Din songs. I convinced him to sing for my sake. He is singing for Junaid’s character. Since Ek Din was an earlier commitment, he wanted to complete it. The film has five songs, and he sings all of them.”
