Singh's paternal grandmother was character-actressChand Burke,the sister of diplomat and writerSamuel Martin Burkewho was active in Pakistan after independence. Singh's mother's cousin Sunita (née Bhavnani)[11]is married to actorAnil Kapoor.[12]

Singh always aspired to be an actor, participating in several school plays and debates.[13][14]However, after he joinedH.R.

After completing his studies and returning to Mumbai in 2007, Singh worked for a few years in advertising as a copywriter, with agencies likeO&MandJ. Walter Thompson.[8][17]He also worked as an assistant director but left it to pursue acting. He then decided to send his portfolio to directors.[17]He would go for all kinds of auditions, but did not get any good opportunities, while only getting calls for minor roles: "Everything was so bleak. It was very frustrating. There were times I would think whether I was doing the right thing or not."[17]

Singh reteamed with Zoya Akhtar onGully Boy(2019), a musical inspired by the life of the street rappersDivineandNaezy.[69]Singh found little in common with his character of a poor man who aspires to become a rapper, and in preparation he underwent acting workshops and spent time with both Divine and Naezy.
