Singh has often been portrayed by the Indian media as a "small-town boy who made it big". He had also been trolled on social media to which he replied "I use my social media sparingly for things that are close to my heart. I don't read the comments. My team filters out the comments for me, and I don't involve myself a lot in paying attention to criticism on social media. I speak what I want to speak, and my team lets me know the needful."

Arijit enjoys listening to retro songs by singers Lata Mangeshkar, Kishore Kumar, Mohammed Rafi and Asha Bhosle and the classical and ghazal songs along with the music of Coldplay.
