Who is Arijit Singh Koel Roy’s wife?

Arijit Singh married his childhood friend Koel Roy in January 2014 in a private ceremony at Tripathi Temple in West Bengal, according to a report by ETimes. Arijit and Koel’s bond grew out of years of friendship and mutual understanding. Very little information is available on the internet about Koel as he prefers to keep his personal life private. Koel and Arijit were childhood friends.

Koel had a daughter from her earlier marriage and Arijit has embraced family life away from the public eye and the singer has always remained firm in protecting his family’s privacy. Before Arijit Singh rose to fame, he tied the knot in 2013 with Ruprekha Banerjee, his co-contestant from Fame Gurukul. But their relationship did not last long and they both decided to break up. It is said that emotional differences and professional stress contributed to their separation. Arijit never spoke publicly about this phase, staying true to his long-standing practice of keeping personal matters private.
