Arijit Singh once bought duplex with one wedding fee: Ikka
Arijit Singh, the much-acclaimed Bollywood singer, is known for his humble nature despite being extremely rich. In a recent episode of the Honestly Saying Podcast, rappers Ikka Singh and Raftaar spoke about Singh's simplicity and shared an interesting anecdote about his earnings. They revealed that Singh once got paid so much for performing at a single wedding that he bought a duplex apartment in Mumbai with it.
'Arijit can have 100 of us for lunch'
During the conversation, Ikka praised Singh's down-to-earth nature. The musician compared him to international rapper Eminem, who is known for his simplicity despite being one of the greatest rappers. Ikka said, "The amount of money he (Arijit) makes is crazy, and the person he is." "People in the music industry think of themselves as rich...but Arijit can have 100 of us for lunch."
