Shaan feels Arijit Singh is way ahead of him

It is no secret that Arijit Singh has taken the playback singing world by storm in the last few years, with many saying that he has dethroned established singers already. Singer Shaan seems to agree with that notion and admitted that during a recent event in Mumbai.According to reports, when asked whether his diminishing presence in Bollywood was a result of the growing competition from Arijit, Shaan replied, “Arijit Singh has gone way ahead. I wouldn’t call him competition at all. He is doing very well. I am happy when a good talent goes ahead and people like him. This is good for music, it is good for all of us.”However, the singer clarified that he was not choosy about his work. The change was just a reflection of audience demand. He said, “It’s not that I have become choosy or I am not interested in playback singing but things change with time. There was a time when there were a lot of established singers and all of a sudden audience demand a change. New voices and new trends emerge. I am happy that I have been in this industry for the last 20 years.”
