But

You might have seen his Out of the World stage performances or you might have heard his Heart Touching voice which reminded you of your Childhood crush , but do you remember How it all started ?
Just like Most of us , He too started small and had a humble background .

Before there were Flashy Lights , Before there were Cameras , Before there were Crazy Fans
There was this : –
A middle class boy from the small town of Jiaganj , who was working hard without even Most of us realising he even existed.
But you are not here to read his biography , you can read that on Wikipedia too, right . ?
So lets talk about the Rejection Part ,
Before he became the Blue Eyed Boy of the Indian Music Industry , It was the same audience which Rejected him and Didn’t Vote enough for him and thus Pushed him out of a singing reality show which could have provided him with the Much deserved Bollywood Break much earlier .
So here it begins ,
It was the early 2005 when his Music Guru realized the slow death of Classical music and urged him to participate in the singing reality show “Fame Gurukul” on Sony Television . Some of you might have even seen it .
Even though He Managed to Garner Positive reviews from the Judges, but he never was the Audience Favorite.
After being unable to secure Audience’s vote , he reached the elimination round of the show , where he had one more chance of survival by securing the votes of his fellow contestants but as destiny had other plans , he was eliminated.

That was Young Arijit Losing out and Getting Eliminated out of One of The Biggest Reality Show of that Time by the same audience which would one day crown him the King Of Playback Singing .
After Being Eliminated , a Heart Broken and Shattered Arijit Returned to his Hometown , the small city of Jiaganj .
An Ordinary Person would have either lost the Purpose after Facing such a defeat and losing out on the Opportunity of a Lifetime or would have lost in oblivion . But as they say , Ordinary Souls Seldom stand out .
This Soon to be King had other plans .
Did I say Soon ? Oh Pardon me , It took time , a lot of time .
Arijit Returned to Mumbai , The city of Dreams to try his hand one more time .
This time he participated In some small Singing reality shows which were either spin offs from other major shows or were so small that they failed to gather Public attention .
According to Arijit ,he Soon realized that he wasn’t getting much singing opportunities and so he started making ad jingles and even started freelancing .
Leaving his singing dream behind for some time He started assisting music directors and composers.
It Was one of such freelancing Days that Arijit met the person who would change his life Forever .
(With his Mentor / Partner Pritam Da ! )
Arijit Met his Future Mentor and soon to be his Music Director , Our Very Own Pritam Da .
While working with Pritam , he used to Program and Produce Music .
Pritam often used to Insist him to sing scratches in the songs he was composing .
Arijit’s debut as a singer came in the form Of a Telugu film called KEDI .
Arijit sang some part in the song “Phir Mohabbat” in the year 2009 from the Film “Murder 2″ which got released in the the year 2011 .Though Arijit Garnered Positive Reviews for his Singing , but those were still the Early Days .
But it was the Iconic song “Tum Hi Ho” from the Bollywood movie Aashiqui2(2013 ) which made him the Heart Throb of Millions .
Today , No major Bollywood Film is released without at least One Arijit Song in it .
Now that’s the Power Of HardWork and Perseverance …
It Took Arijit Around 8 Years to (2005-2013) to Become the Success that he is today .
This teaches us a beautiful lesson ,
That if we dream big enough , We are the one who needs to walk on the Path which has never been treaded before , we are the one who have to make Sacrifices and Lose small battles so that we can Win the WAR.
At the end ,I would like to Sum it up with the famous Bhagvada Geeta Quote :-
“karmany evadhikaras te
ma phalesu kadachana
ma karma-phala-hetur bhur
ma te sango ’stv akarmani”
which Translates to :-
You have a right to perform your prescribed duty, but you are not entitled to the fruits of action. Never consider yourself the cause of the results of your activities, and never be attached to not doing your duty….
