In a surprising move, Tanishk Bagchi, the celebrated Indian music producer, composer, singer, and lyricist, has announced his departure from social media. The "Saiyaara" composer made the announcement recently, stating that he is taking time for himself.

Bagchi, known for his chart-topping Bollywood tracks and remixes, shared a message expressing his gratitude to his fans. "Thank you for standing by me, giving me strength," he wrote, signaling a need for a personal retreat from the digital world. The specific reasons behind his decision remain personal, but it aligns with a growing trend among celebrities who are choosing to disconnect from social media to focus on their mental health and well-being.

Tanishk Bagchi was born on November 23, 1980, in Kolkata, West Bengal, into a family deeply rooted in the music industry. His father was a musician, and his mother a lyricist. He started his career as a music composer with Vayu Srivastava, and they composed music for TV shows like Dance India Dance and Thapki Pyar Ki. His Bollywood debut came with the song "Banno" in Tanu Weds Manu Returns (2015). Bagchi gained widespread recognition for his recreated version of "Humma Humma" (from Ok Jaanu) and "Tamma Tamma Again" (from Badrinath Ki Dulhania). He has composed many original hits, including "Ve Maahi", "Bolna", and "Raataan Lambiyan".

Bagchi's signature style involves a fusion of EDM, pop, and Indian classical music. He often blends emotional depth with commercial appeal. He has worked with many singers, including Jubin Nautiyal, Asees Kaur, and Dhvani Bhanushali.

His decision to step away from social media is not unique in the entertainment industry. Many celebrities have taken breaks or completely abstained from social media due to stress, anxiety, and the desire for more personal time. Actress Aishwarya Lekshmi, for example, stated that social media had "reverse-UNO-ed" her, distracting her from her work and affecting her original thought process. Similarly, Hrithik Roshan took a break to "switch" something within himself. Ranbir Kapoor has a secret account to follow others but does not post.

Bagchi's work includes composing music for films such as Loveyapa, and Saiyaara and Sarfira. He has also composed numerous hit songs. His work has earned him several awards, including IIFA Award for Best Music Director for Badrinath Ki Dulhania (2018) and Shershaah (2022), and Mirchi Music Awards for "Bolna" (2016) and Shershaah (2022).

As Tanishk Bagchi takes this personal time, fans and the music industry await his return, hoping he will come back refreshed and inspired.
