Arijit Singh has put his singing career on hold.
Arijit Singh recently made headlines after announcing his decision to step back from playback singing. Having started his journey on a reality show, he rose to become one of India’s most beloved singers. While his soulful melodies have captivated millions for years, his philanthropic efforts are equally inspiring.
In his hometown of Jiaganj, Murshidabad, West Bengal, Arijit has launched a restaurant called Heshel, where healthy meals are served at an astonishingly low price of just Rs 40. This initiative reflects the singer’s deep connection to his roots and his commitment to giving back to the community.
According to a Moneycontrol report, Arijit’s father manages the eatery, which aims to provide nutritious meals to people, making quality food accessible to all at an unbelievably affordable rate.
Heshel’s Special Offer For Student
A report by Times Now mentions that at Heshel, a full vegetarian thali is available for about Rs 40, with a discounted price of Rs 30 for students. The meals are simple yet nutritious, featuring Bengali and Punjabi-style vegetarian cuisine designed for everyday eating rather than luxury dining. Heshel does not focus on elaborate or fusion dishes but instead aims to provide balanced and filling meals at an affordable price.
Heshel—Timings and Other Details
The menu is primarily vegetarian, and prices may vary depending on serving size. Heshel remains open daily from 10:30 a.m. to 10:30 p.m., making it accessible for people with different work schedules.
Interestingly, Heshel gained popularity not through traditional promotions but via word-of-mouth and social media posts by visitors and locals. Pictures of wholesome thalis, handwritten bills, and the restaurant’s modest interiors started circulating online. Many social media users praised Arijit Singh for prioritising affordability and community over glamour. Today, the restaurant is celebrated not for its famous owner, but for the people it serves.
