Arijit Singh votes in West Bengal elections
Playback singer Arijit Singh recently cast his vote during the ongoing West Bengal Assembly elections 2026, drawing attention for his understated public appearance and brief interaction with the media.
The singer was seen arriving at a polling booth in Murshidabad along with his wife, Koel Roy. Staying true to his low-profile personality, Arijit kept his visit simple and avoided any unnecessary attention while participating in the democratic process.
After casting his vote, Arijit Singh interacted briefly with reporters stationed outside the polling booth.
When asked if he would like to share a message for the public, he responded, `What message can I give in the middle of voting right now? People will start thinking I’ve become a politician myself,” he said.

His response reflected his characteristic humility and reluctance to step beyond his role as a citizen.
However, the moment that gained significant traction online came shortly after. When photographers requested him to display his inked finger, Arijit politely declined.
He said, “I’ve already cast my vote - now you want me to show my finger too?”
The remark quickly went viral on social media, with many users reacting to his candid and straightforward reply. While public figures often pose for photographs after voting, Singh’s decision to refrain from doing so highlighted his preference for maintaining privacy even in public settings.
Reports also indicated that members of his family participated in the voting process, reinforcing the importance of civic engagement.
The singer`s appearance at the polling booth and his interaction with the media once again reflected his grounded personality. His approach stood in contrast to the more visible and performative public appearances often associated with celebrities during elections.
