“‘Delete All My Playlists’: Arijit Singh’s Emotional Reply to Angry Fan Goes Viral After His Support for NEET Protest Sparks Massive Debate”
Arijit Singh Faces Online Backlash After Speaking Out on NEET Protest
Popular playback singer Arijit Singh has become the centre of a heated social media debate after publicly supporting students protesting against the alleged NEET paper leak and condemning the reported police action during the ‘Chalo Sansad’ march in New Delhi.
While thousands of users praised the singer for raising his voice on a public issue, others criticised him for entering a politically sensitive debate. The controversy quickly intensified after several fans expressed disappointment over his comments.
A Fan Says ‘I Lost All Respect’
Among the many reactions online, one long-time fan posted an emotional message saying they had lost all respect for the singer and no longer wished to support him. The user claimed that Arijit’s recent statements had deeply disappointed them and ended the post by saying they now “hate” him.
Instead of ignoring the criticism, Arijit Singh chose to respond personally with a calm and emotional message that has since gone viral across social media platforms.
‘Delete All My Playlists,’ Says Arijit Singh
In his reply, the singer made it clear that he respects everyone’s right to hold different opinions and does not expect people to agree with him.
Arijit apologised if his words had hurt the fan emotionally but also maintained that his views on the issue would not change. He even told the fan that they were free to delete all his playlists and move on if they no longer wished to support his music.
The singer added that he genuinely wished happiness for the fan and hoped they would forgive him, explaining that his comments came from anger over what he had witnessed rather than any intention to hurt individuals.
The response received widespread attention, with many users appreciating his respectful tone despite facing personal criticism.
Strong Remarks on the NEET Protest
The controversy began after Arijit Singh shared multiple social media posts reacting to videos from the NEET protest in Delhi.

Expressing concern over the reported police action against students, the singer questioned why students were allegedly being beaten during the demonstration and asked whether authorities should feel ashamed.

He later shared another reaction after watching videos from the protest, claiming that some people in uniform were behaving like “goons.”
Singer Clarifies His Statement
Following criticism from another social media user who questioned whether everyone involved was a police officer, Arijit Singh clarified that the people he referred to in his post were those wearing uniforms visible in the videos he had watched. He also mentioned that some individuals present were dressed in civilian clothing.
His clarification did little to slow the debate, with discussions continuing across social media about celebrities speaking on political and public issues.
Background of the NEET Protest
The protests erupted after thousands of NEET aspirants and student organisations gathered in New Delhi demanding accountability over the alleged NEET paper leak and examination irregularities.
Protesters also called for the resignation of Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan, accusing the government of failing to address concerns surrounding the examination process.
According to protest organisers, police used tear gas and batons to prevent demonstrators from marching towards Parliament, with claims that several students were injured during the confrontation. Authorities have maintained that security measures were taken to control the situation.
Public Reaction Remains Divided
The incident has sparked a wider discussion on whether public figures should openly comment on controversial issues.
Supporters believe Arijit Singh exercised his democratic right to express concern over students and their treatment, while critics argue that celebrities should remain neutral on politically sensitive matters.
Despite the growing backlash, the singer has made it clear that although he regrets hurting anyone’s emotions, he stands by his opinion on the issue.
As conversations continue online, Arijit’s response—particularly his now-viral line asking an upset fan to “delete all my playlists”—has become one of the most talked-about moments in the ongoing debate surrounding the NEET protest controversy.
