In a short span of time, Arijit became one of the highest paid playback singers in the Indian film industry. However, what fans loved the most was how despite having access to all the wealth and fame, he chose to live a quiet life in his hometown Jiaganj, located in the Murshidabad district of West Bengal. 

Videos of him riding a scooty in the narrow lanes of Jiaganj and turning up at his kids' school to receive them after hours made fans respect his humility even more. Arijit lived for his fans and music, not for fame and fortune. After his big announcement about his future career, some reports pegged his net worth at around ₹400 crore, which is more than most film actors.

Arijit  ka pata karna. Par woh banda shor nahi macha raha hai..."
