00:00:06,458 --> 00:00:08,289
{\an8}This is... This is DJ Honey.

Official YIFY movies site:

4
00:00:08,290 --> 00:00:10,624
{\an8}So tell us what was that track you played?

5
00:00:11,541 --> 00:00:13,539
{\an8}I took dialogues from <i>Gadar.</i>

6
00:00:13,540 --> 00:00:15,456
{\an8}- Okay.
- He's actually answering.

7
00:00:15,457 --> 00:00:16,666
{\an8}It's connected to bass.

8
00:00:17,250 --> 00:00:18,789
{\an8}And "Dooms Night" with it.

9
00:00:18,790 --> 00:00:21,414
{\an8}- I made a patriotic remix.
- Okay.

10
00:00:21,415 --> 00:00:24,081
{\an8}And here we have DJ Honey's father.

11
00:00:24,082 --> 00:00:25,873
{\an8}We've come to his house today.

12
00:00:25,874 --> 00:00:28,081
{\an8}And our channel has come to know

13
00:00:28,082 --> 00:00:32,331
{\an8}that you had thrown
all of his equipment out about a week ago.

14
00:00:32,332 --> 00:00:34,623
{\an8}- Oh, that's not true.
- It's not?

15
00:00:34,624 --> 00:00:36,623
{\an8}Our channel doesn't miss anything.

16
00:00:36,624 --> 00:00:38,289
{\an8}<i>I'm not a musician's son.</i>

17
00:00:38,290 --> 00:00:41,414
{\an8}<i>I'm not a famous music director's son,
not a big singer's son.</i>

18
00:00:41,415 --> 00:00:44,374
{\an8}<i>I'm a normal guy who comes
from a very normal family.</i>

19
00:00:47,500 --> 00:00:50,123
{\an8}<i>He always used to say,
"I'm going to do something big,</i>

20
00:00:50,124 --> 00:00:52,125
{\an8}<i>and I will make all of you proud."</i>

21
00:00:52,625 --> 00:00:55,291
{\an8}<i>But I had no idea,
you know, that he's going to become</i>

22
00:00:55,791 --> 00:00:56,875
<i>Yo Yo Honey Singh.</i>

23
00:00:57,375 --> 00:01:04,164
Honey Singh! Honey Singh!
Honey Singh! Honey Singh!

24
00:01:04,165 --> 00:01:06,873
When I first saw him,
I knew, "This is the guy."

25
00:01:06,874 --> 00:01:08,706
What we were listening to in that era,

26
00:01:08,707 --> 00:01:10,623
this was different from that,
this was advanced.

27
00:01:10,624 --> 00:01:12,623
Many people
have seen fame in their lives,

28
00:01:12,624 --> 00:01:14,664
many people have had popularity,

29
00:01:14,665 --> 00:01:17,039
nut no one else in this world
is like Honey Singh.

30
00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:18,289
Everybody, ready?

31
00:01:18,290 --> 00:01:21,458
He moved
the cultural gravity for Indian pop music.

32
00:01:22,708 --> 00:01:24,875
He made Punjabi music cool
in the rest of India.

33
00:01:25,958 --> 00:01:28,956
<i>There's so many artists today
that have so much recognition</i>

34
00:01:28,957 --> 00:01:31,206
<i>because of the doors
Honey</i> bhai <i>has opened.</i>

35
00:01:31,207 --> 00:01:33,623
He tapped into
that aspirational thing that,

36
00:01:33,624 --> 00:01:35,498
"I'm gonna be a brown guy going abroad,

37
00:01:35,499 --> 00:01:38,457
making the same videos we see
Black and white American guys doing."

38
00:01:39,416 --> 00:01:43,039
His songs were playing
at every club, every wedding.

39
00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:44,458
When a song plays at a wedding,

40
00:01:45,416 --> 00:01:47,039
that's when you know it's a hit.

41
00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:48,998
But when a song plays on a tractor,

42
00:01:48,999 --> 00:01:50,873
that's when you know you're a hit.

43
00:01:50,874 --> 00:01:54,873
Honey has got this one superb thing
which nobody else has, which is...

44
00:01:54,874 --> 00:01:57,291
<i>♪ Yo Yo Honey Singh ♪</i>

45
00:01:58,166 --> 00:02:01,873
<i>There was a time Honey Singh
used to be India's most popular rapper.</i>

46
00:02:01,874 --> 00:02:05,956
{\an8}<i>But, suddenly, Honey Singh
distanced himself from movies and songs.</i>

47
00:02:05,957 --> 00:02:09,414
{\an8}<i>They should be ashamed
of the upbringing they have given him.</i>

48
00:02:09,415 --> 00:02:12,456
{\an8}<i>Honey Singh
is the reason why rapes take place.</i>

49
00:02:12,457 --> 00:02:15,289
<i>Shah Rukh Khan
slapped Honey Singh in a fit of anger.</i>

50
00:02:15,290 --> 00:02:17,289
...<i>Yo Yo Honey Singh
is battling drug...</i>

51
00:02:17,290 --> 00:02:19,998
<i>...wife has accused him
of domestic violence.</i>

52
00:02:19,999 --> 00:02:22,164
<i>...a figure of drama,
Yo Yo Honey Singh</i>

53
00:02:22,165 --> 00:02:24,289
<i>has disappeared
from the Bollywood music scene.</i>

54
00:02:24,290 --> 00:02:27,539
- <i>Where has he disappeared?</i>
- <i>He looks exhausted.</i>

55
00:02:27,540 --> 00:02:29,581
<i>Will he be able
to make a comeback?</i>

56
00:02:29,582 --> 00:02:31,414
<i>Will we see Honey Singh again?</i>

57
00:02:31,415 --> 00:02:33,123
<i>What happened to Honey Singh?</i>

58
00:02:33,124 --> 00:02:35,748
Now I'll tell you
what happened nine years ago.

59
00:02:35,749 --> 00:02:38,750
No one knows what I'm about to say
in front of this camera today.

60
00:02:39,250 --> 00:02:40,248
No one knows about it.

61
00:02:40,249 --> 00:02:42,290
What the fuck!

62
00:02:56,791 --> 00:02:59,958
Oye. You see my veins popping?
Fucking hell!

63
00:03:03,166 --> 00:03:06,289
- Zack, the old days are back!
- And not going back!

64
00:03:06,290 --> 00:03:07,456
Everybody, make some...

65
00:03:07,457 --> 00:03:09,291
Let's start with "Haaye Mera Dil."

66
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:22,831
{\an8}I'm making
a comeback after seven years.

67
00:03:22,832 --> 00:03:25,039
{\an8}People had started saying,
"Honey Singh is done."

68
00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:27,456
"His songs aren't working.
He's become fat."

69
00:03:27,457 --> 00:03:30,416
"He's gone to a loony bin."
That's what I'm coming out of.

70
00:03:36,166 --> 00:03:39,039
I had to lock myself up in a room
for seven years, waiting,

71
00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:40,623
"This will happen, that will happen."

72
00:03:40,624 --> 00:03:43,623
I told myself, "Fuck this shit.
I need to get out."

73
00:03:43,624 --> 00:03:44,875
"Nothing will happen."

74
00:03:45,583 --> 00:03:46,875
That's when I came out of it.

75
00:04:14,541 --> 00:04:16,499
{\an8}Everybody, make some noise!

76
00:04:18,375 --> 00:04:21,500
{\an8}Love you, Honey <i>paaji!</i>

77
00:04:22,625 --> 00:04:29,624
{\an8}Honey Singh! Honey Singh! Honey Singh!

78
00:04:41,958 --> 00:04:45,164
My alarm was set for 10:00 a.m.
I've woken up at 1:00 p.m.

79
00:04:45,165 --> 00:04:47,998
In order to function,
I need at least four hours to myself

80
00:04:47,999 --> 00:04:48,956
after I wake up.

81
00:04:48,957 --> 00:04:51,998
I can't meet anyone.
I can't really talk to anyone.

82
00:04:51,999 --> 00:04:55,664
I just keep sort of fading in, slowly.
It's due to all the medication.

83
00:04:55,665 --> 00:04:58,831
Yesterday, I slept at 5:00 in the morning.
Maybe even later than that.

84
00:04:58,832 --> 00:05:00,664
The medication
is such that it knocks me out

85
00:05:00,665 --> 00:05:02,373
and puts me into very deep sleep.

86
00:05:02,374 --> 00:05:04,081
So, sleep is very important for me.

87
00:05:04,082 --> 00:05:07,041
And when I wake up,
its effects are still there.

88
00:05:09,166 --> 00:05:11,456
You know that when I was sick and at home,

89
00:05:11,457 --> 00:05:15,123
I had postponed all my shoots
so that I could work on my fitness again

90
00:05:15,124 --> 00:05:19,206
because my songs were releasing again,
I was making a gradual comeback.

91
00:05:19,207 --> 00:05:21,123
But no one wants a fat Honey Singh.

92
00:05:21,124 --> 00:05:24,333
Two, three, four, five.

93
00:05:25,666 --> 00:05:28,916
There was a time
when I had accepted that I'm too old now,

94
00:05:29,416 --> 00:05:30,625
I've become fat,

95
00:05:31,125 --> 00:05:34,416
I won't be able to achieve
the look that my fans want,

96
00:05:34,916 --> 00:05:38,581
that I should just keep making good songs
so that I can put food on the table.

97
00:05:38,582 --> 00:05:40,083
That's the best thing to do.

98
00:05:42,541 --> 00:05:45,289
My medication is high
on sodium and lithium,

99
00:05:45,290 --> 00:05:48,206
which causes water retention
and makes you put on a lot of weight.

100
00:05:48,207 --> 00:05:50,500
Luckily, my medication
has been reduced now.

101
00:05:51,041 --> 00:05:53,250
And that's why
I'm able to see some results.

102
00:05:54,833 --> 00:05:57,206
While you're on these meds,
I hope you're not drinking.

103
00:05:57,207 --> 00:05:58,914
I've almost quit drinking now.

104
00:05:58,915 --> 00:06:00,750
- Really?
- Yeah, yeah, really.

105
00:06:02,250 --> 00:06:07,039
I used to smoke up all the time,
20 joints, 12 joints, 15 joints a day.

106
00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:09,498
So, I've kept things in balance
with a lot of difficulty.

107
00:06:09,499 --> 00:06:12,248
I don't wanna play with that.
I don't wanna risk it again.

108
00:06:12,249 --> 00:06:14,791
'Cause I don't want that thing
back in my life again.

109
00:06:18,083 --> 00:06:19,458
Can you see them on camera?

110
00:06:20,125 --> 00:06:23,623
- 'Cause these are my favorites.
- We have to see your abs, please.

111
00:06:23,624 --> 00:06:25,416
The abs aren't ready yet.

112
00:06:25,916 --> 00:06:27,916
I have a paunch, man. Just don't show it.

113
00:06:29,583 --> 00:06:31,333
Go stand there and shoot me in the mirror.

114
00:06:55,791 --> 00:06:58,039
The thing is
when I was sick and at home,

115
00:06:58,040 --> 00:07:00,873
{\an8}I didn't really work for two years,
I didn't even touch my laptop.

116
00:07:00,874 --> 00:07:01,831
{\an8}Hello, everyone.

117
00:07:01,832 --> 00:07:03,956
{\an8}I was like,
"I can't write songs right now."

118
00:07:03,957 --> 00:07:05,833
{\an8}"I'm not in control of my mind."

119
00:07:06,500 --> 00:07:09,789
Then Mummy told me
to start as a music producer.

120
00:07:09,790 --> 00:07:12,458
Then I started calling
for vocals from different artists.

121
00:07:13,541 --> 00:07:15,581
I feel like
this is me starting all over again,

122
00:07:15,582 --> 00:07:16,789
as a music producer.

123
00:07:16,790 --> 00:07:17,708
Let's go.

124
00:07:26,291 --> 00:07:30,081
{\an8}Millind sent me a demo,
and I felt like it had a lot of potential.

125
00:07:30,082 --> 00:07:31,914
{\an8}The song was made on a trap beat.

126
00:07:31,915 --> 00:07:34,291
I haven't written the song,
just written the rap for it.

127
00:07:34,791 --> 00:07:38,664
But I thought,
"Let's-- Let's produce it the old way

128
00:07:38,665 --> 00:07:41,748
like Honey Singh used to produce
on a <i>dhol</i> beat."

129
00:07:41,749 --> 00:07:45,625
"And with the same kind of melodies
and comps and chords."

130
00:07:46,291 --> 00:07:48,456
Back in 2003, he came to my studio.

131
00:07:48,457 --> 00:07:50,373
I heard his songs and I said,

132
00:07:50,374 --> 00:07:53,915
"Fuck! This is what I want to do."

133
00:07:55,208 --> 00:07:57,998
This is a dream come true.

134
00:07:57,999 --> 00:08:01,499
{\an8}I mean, as far as I am concerned,
my hero is Honey Singh.

135
00:08:05,291 --> 00:08:07,456
{\an8}We're on the sets
of "Paris ka Trip."

136
00:08:07,457 --> 00:08:10,458
{\an8}It's my first comeback video,
and I'm very, very excited.

137
00:08:11,666 --> 00:08:13,458
Yo! Netflix is here.

138
00:08:14,125 --> 00:08:15,498
What's happening, motherfuckers?

139
00:08:15,499 --> 00:08:18,956
Yo Yo Honey Singh for life!
For life! For life!

140
00:08:18,957 --> 00:08:21,956
- What will it take, girl?
- 2022! We're coming, baby!

141
00:08:21,957 --> 00:08:24,914
We are going to
fuck everything, motherfuckers!

142
00:08:24,915 --> 00:08:26,789
We're coming! Dang motherfuckers!

143
00:08:26,790 --> 00:08:29,581
{\an8}We're shooting
Honey's video here in Delhi.

144
00:08:29,582 --> 00:08:32,998
{\an8}So, you guys stay tuned
'cause you do not wanna miss any of this.

145
00:08:32,999 --> 00:08:34,083
It's gonna be hot.

146
00:08:35,250 --> 00:08:38,581
It'll be the first video, man.
They'll see the transformation in this.

147
00:08:38,582 --> 00:08:39,500
Yeah.

148
00:08:40,083 --> 00:08:41,998
I delayed
all my songs by seven months

149
00:08:41,999 --> 00:08:43,623
because I was working on my fitness.

150
00:08:43,624 --> 00:08:44,748
My fitness is ready,

151
00:08:44,749 --> 00:08:47,123
and we're gonna shoot
nine music videos in three months.

152
00:08:47,124 --> 00:08:50,000
It's going to be a new collection
of songs for my fans.

153
00:09:07,083 --> 00:09:08,498
<i>Good news for his fans!</i>

154
00:09:08,499 --> 00:09:11,748
<i>Yo Yo Honey Singh has finished shooting
for his new music video,</i>

155
00:09:11,749 --> 00:09:14,123
<i>and this song is all set to be released.</i>

156
00:09:14,124 --> 00:09:16,414
Honey Singh is coming
after five, six years.

157
00:09:16,415 --> 00:09:19,498
So, he's trying to come back.
So, he's doing good.

158
00:09:19,499 --> 00:09:21,789
He just fell through the cracks
in between,

159
00:09:21,790 --> 00:09:24,373
and now he's coming back?
It's great for him.

160
00:09:24,374 --> 00:09:26,831
Whether he's gone
or he's come back, he's always there.

161
00:09:26,832 --> 00:09:30,457
So, for me, according to me,
he was never gone.

162
00:09:33,833 --> 00:09:37,873
He's a good producer,
a good deliverer of a certain type of hit,

163
00:09:37,874 --> 00:09:40,331
who has a core audience
that will stick with him forever.

164
00:09:40,332 --> 00:09:41,539
Honey <i>Paaji!</i>

165
00:09:41,540 --> 00:09:44,831
He's reached a level where
he can always continue to put out music.

166
00:09:44,832 --> 00:09:48,164
He'll fill out shows.
You can coast on that for a long time.

167
00:09:48,165 --> 00:09:52,125
{\an8}But Honey's vision is old now.
It's outdated.

168
00:10:02,833 --> 00:10:06,164
I've probably been coming here
for the past 25 or 26 years.

169
00:10:06,165 --> 00:10:08,914
I used to walk here,
then I started coming on a cycle.

170
00:10:08,915 --> 00:10:11,666
Then I started using a scooter.
Now, I come in my car.

171
00:10:16,458 --> 00:10:17,708
Fantastic, <i>bhai.</i>

172
00:10:18,916 --> 00:10:21,125
You can only get this in Karampura, man.

173
00:10:25,791 --> 00:10:28,625
This is my place! My city!

174
00:10:29,291 --> 00:10:30,208
My hood!

175
00:10:32,125 --> 00:10:34,250
We used to sit around here, doing nothing.

176
00:10:34,750 --> 00:10:37,331
We were free, both of us.
So, two jobless people met.

177
00:10:37,332 --> 00:10:39,039
And we instantly connected.

178
00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:41,998
Yeah. Since then up till now,
we have a connection.

179
00:10:41,999 --> 00:10:44,289
So, sometimes,
he would come on a scooter,

180
00:10:44,290 --> 00:10:46,248
and the scooter wouldn't be clean.

181
00:10:46,249 --> 00:10:48,164
There used to be
a lot of clothes drying here.

182
00:10:48,165 --> 00:10:50,248
{\an8}He'd say, "Give me a rag."
I'd say, "There's no rag."

183
00:10:50,249 --> 00:10:53,333
{\an8}He'd just take one of those clothes
to clean the scooter and sit on it.

184
00:10:53,833 --> 00:10:55,666
<i>- Namaste,</i> aunty.
- Come, come.

185
00:10:57,250 --> 00:10:58,081
Let's go inside.

186
00:10:58,082 --> 00:11:00,375
Even if it was
somebody's underwear or a towel.

187
00:11:00,875 --> 00:11:01,958
Or someone's bra.

188
00:11:05,250 --> 00:11:06,664
{\an8}- Mozez <i>bhai.</i>
- Yeah?

189
00:11:06,665 --> 00:11:08,748
{\an8}This is where we used to sit every day.

190
00:11:08,749 --> 00:11:11,583
{\an8}And what happened one day
was this guy got jaundice.

191
00:11:12,083 --> 00:11:14,914
Okay, so because of jaundice,
he got leave from school.

192
00:11:14,915 --> 00:11:16,416
So, he was at home, resting.

193
00:11:16,958 --> 00:11:20,625
I used to bring a bottle of beer,
tucked under my shirt, like this.

194
00:11:21,250 --> 00:11:22,333
Just like this, yeah.

195
00:11:22,833 --> 00:11:24,956
Then I'd hide it here under the sofa.

196
00:11:24,957 --> 00:11:27,539
And we'd make him drink beer
while he had jaundice.

197
00:11:27,540 --> 00:11:29,998
Ah! I found out today because he told me.

198
00:11:29,999 --> 00:11:33,248
Oh, really? So, then, today,
you should give him a slap. No?

199
00:11:33,249 --> 00:11:36,289
- No, no.
- Wow! How many years? 25 years?

200
00:11:36,290 --> 00:11:38,956
- 25 years.
- 25-26 years.

201
00:11:38,957 --> 00:11:40,623
- Let's go.
- Yeah, okay.

202
00:11:40,624 --> 00:11:43,539
Those were the days
when we would roam the streets carefree,

203
00:11:43,540 --> 00:11:47,749
and everyone knew me back then,
and everyone knows me today as well.

204
00:11:52,166 --> 00:11:54,873
Sir! Sir! Honey sir! Sir, sir.

205
00:11:54,874 --> 00:11:58,373
- Sir! Honey sir!
- Honey sir! Sir, hi!

206
00:11:58,374 --> 00:12:01,081
She's the girl
who has posters of you all over her room.

207
00:12:01,082 --> 00:12:03,081
- Oh, this is that girl?
- Yeah.

208
00:12:03,082 --> 00:12:04,666
Hi, sir. Hi.

209
00:12:05,666 --> 00:12:07,831
I love you, sir.
Please let me shake your hand.

210
00:12:07,832 --> 00:12:10,916
Come on. Come on, it's photo time.
Let's take a selfie, come on.

211
00:12:15,083 --> 00:12:16,331
Okay? Thank you.

212
00:12:16,332 --> 00:12:17,831
Take care. All the best.

213
00:12:17,832 --> 00:12:18,873
Thank you, sir!

214
00:12:18,874 --> 00:12:22,623
Oh, I love you so much!
I really love you so much.

215
00:12:22,624 --> 00:12:26,873
All the best for every time, every song.
Your song is always the best song.

216
00:12:26,874 --> 00:12:28,125
Come here. Come here.

217
00:12:44,375 --> 00:12:45,665
{\an8}Love you, take care.

218
00:12:55,708 --> 00:12:57,456
{\an8}This is the house where I was born,

219
00:12:57,457 --> 00:13:01,041
{\an8}and this is where I spent
my childhood and my youth.

220
00:13:01,541 --> 00:13:03,998
I used to sit right here
when I was a little kid,

221
00:13:03,999 --> 00:13:06,916
and Mummy used to keep singing
while she cooked food for us.

222
00:13:07,541 --> 00:13:09,456
Papa was always listening to music.

223
00:13:09,457 --> 00:13:11,789
There was different music
playing throughout the house.

224
00:13:11,790 --> 00:13:14,123
Papa used to listen
to vinyl records back then.

225
00:13:14,124 --> 00:13:16,456
So, in a way, it was he
who pushed me towards music.

226
00:13:16,457 --> 00:13:19,123
He spoiled me. If he didn't make me
listen to so much music,

227
00:13:19,124 --> 00:13:20,998
if he didn't play
Mohammed Rafi or R.D. Burman,

228
00:13:20,999 --> 00:13:24,583
I wouldn't have been exposed to music.
I wouldn't have had this music sense.

229
00:13:26,541 --> 00:13:30,039
As a child, whatever he used to like,
those were the same things I liked.

230
00:13:30,040 --> 00:13:32,248
{\an8}So, I would fulfill my dreams through him.

231
00:13:32,249 --> 00:13:35,706
{\an8}I really wanted to be a singer,
but, sadly, my parents didn't allow it.

232
00:13:35,707 --> 00:13:38,708
{\an8}So, I put all my energy into him.

233
00:13:39,208 --> 00:13:40,831
{\an8}Go ahead. Live your dreams.

234
00:13:40,832 --> 00:13:43,750
{\an8}He would object to it,
and I would help him secretly.

235
00:13:46,625 --> 00:13:48,664
Looking at this picture,
it seems like <i>Bhaiya</i>

236
00:13:48,665 --> 00:13:50,831
has taken exactly after you. Right?

237
00:13:50,832 --> 00:13:53,748
What do you mean "seems like"?
Of course, he has.

238
00:13:53,749 --> 00:13:57,248
This, I think, was <i>Bhaiya's</i> 31st birthday.

239
00:13:57,249 --> 00:14:00,331
"I decided to write down
31 reasons why I love you."

240
00:14:00,332 --> 00:14:03,791
"Well, honestly, this is not for you.
This is for your kids."

241
00:14:04,291 --> 00:14:07,289
"And I really want them to know
how amazing their father is."

242
00:14:07,290 --> 00:14:09,248
{\an8}So, whenever...

243
00:14:09,249 --> 00:14:10,333
{\an8}Don't cry.

244
00:14:12,458 --> 00:14:17,164
So, whenever <i>Bhaiya</i> has kids,
I think they should read this.

245
00:14:17,165 --> 00:14:19,831
And the first reason I've written is,

246
00:14:19,832 --> 00:14:23,414
"Thank you for giving us
this beautiful and dignified life."

247
00:14:23,415 --> 00:14:24,373
- Right?
- Hmm.

248
00:14:24,374 --> 00:14:27,248
Because... we are very proud of him.

249
00:14:27,249 --> 00:14:28,665
- Right, Papa?
- Of course.

250
00:14:37,333 --> 00:14:39,456
Papa and I
didn't see eye to eye back then.

251
00:14:39,457 --> 00:14:42,748
Papa thought that I'd finish my BSc
and take over his business,

252
00:14:42,749 --> 00:14:43,956
which I didn't want to do.

253
00:14:43,957 --> 00:14:47,123
So, that was a difficult time for Papa
and a difficult time for me too.

254
00:14:47,124 --> 00:14:50,123
I couldn't help my father
because I wanted to do something else.

255
00:14:50,124 --> 00:14:51,456
I wanted to do music.

256
00:14:51,457 --> 00:14:52,414
I was focused.

257
00:14:52,415 --> 00:14:55,125
But it was a tough time for both of us.

258
00:14:56,125 --> 00:15:00,289
{\an8}I still remember
it was the War of DJ Awards.

259
00:15:00,290 --> 00:15:03,706
Papa had no idea that <i>Bhaiya</i>
is, you know, competing in this.

260
00:15:03,707 --> 00:15:06,414
We kept sitting outside,
waiting for him, till noon.

261
00:15:06,415 --> 00:15:08,873
And then he came back at around 2 a.m.

262
00:15:08,874 --> 00:15:12,123
All his friends came with <i>dhols</i> and then...

263
00:15:12,124 --> 00:15:13,123
We were very happy.

264
00:15:13,124 --> 00:15:14,831
His father was the happiest.

265
00:15:14,832 --> 00:15:17,289
Honey asked him,
"I hope you won't stop me now."

266
00:15:17,290 --> 00:15:21,082
And he said, "No, I won't stop you.
You go. Go and live your life."

267
00:15:25,541 --> 00:15:27,998
{\an8}It was 2003. Honey was coming up.

268
00:15:27,999 --> 00:15:30,456
{\an8}He had just started
making beats at that time.

269
00:15:30,457 --> 00:15:32,581
{\an8}He saw me at a club one day, rapping.

270
00:15:32,582 --> 00:15:36,249
{\an8}So, we met. The vibe was great.
He said, "Let's hit the studio."

271
00:15:39,125 --> 00:15:40,706
I was just a music producer.

272
00:15:40,707 --> 00:15:43,289
I never wanted to sing,
I never wanted to write.

273
00:15:43,290 --> 00:15:44,956
I didn't even know how to write a song.

274
00:15:44,957 --> 00:15:47,956
- Uh, it's mellow. It's mellow.
- First, rehearse it.

275
00:15:47,957 --> 00:15:50,706
Right now, the thing is
the lyrics aren't clear in your head.

276
00:15:50,707 --> 00:15:53,706
First, rehearse them. Then after that,
you can put your level up.

277
00:15:53,707 --> 00:15:55,040
- Okay, do it.
- All right?

278
00:15:59,375 --> 00:16:03,206
He's hard-working,
really hard-working, and really quick.

279
00:16:03,207 --> 00:16:06,164
He'd come carrying
a CPU in his hand, his own CPU.

280
00:16:06,165 --> 00:16:07,414
Dude was amazing.

281
00:16:07,415 --> 00:16:09,831
That's how we started.
We were like, "Is that a CPU?"

282
00:16:09,832 --> 00:16:11,623
He'd go, "Yeah, yeah, it's all good."

283
00:16:11,624 --> 00:16:13,831
"You can plug it
wherever the fuck you want."

284
00:16:13,832 --> 00:16:18,875
This is my CPU that I've had since 2006.

285
00:16:19,375 --> 00:16:20,541
It has a handle on it.

286
00:16:21,583 --> 00:16:26,081
On this, I had Acid Pro, FruityLoops,
Reason Propellerhead, Cubase.

287
00:16:26,082 --> 00:16:27,789
I used to work on all these softwares.

288
00:16:27,790 --> 00:16:31,539
This is the first Audigy 2 sound card
that I ever bought.

289
00:16:31,540 --> 00:16:36,248
People, uh, kids who understand
sound engineering and musicians,

290
00:16:36,249 --> 00:16:38,789
they would be familiar
with what a sound card is.

291
00:16:38,790 --> 00:16:41,583
For my first few recordings,
I used this machine.

292
00:16:42,083 --> 00:16:44,166
There used to be
a huge trunk kept right here.

293
00:16:44,666 --> 00:16:47,000
And on top of that, I would put my CPU.

294
00:16:47,500 --> 00:16:50,914
And I produced "Khadke Glassy"
sitting right here, in this room.

295
00:16:50,915 --> 00:16:52,623
And I-- And I mixed the track here,

296
00:16:52,624 --> 00:16:55,248
and I also mastered
the track here, myself.

297
00:16:55,249 --> 00:16:59,708
And I got my first award
as a sound engineer in 2005.

298
00:17:00,833 --> 00:17:03,499
This is where I did it.
And I was like, "I'm not stopping now."

299
00:17:07,291 --> 00:17:11,166
{\an8}The music was so good,
everyone had it as their phone ringtone.

300
00:17:18,625 --> 00:17:21,831
I started writing, and the songs
I used to make were very urban.

301
00:17:21,832 --> 00:17:23,289
But no one used to sing them.

302
00:17:23,290 --> 00:17:26,039
So, when I started singing them,
that's when I began my journey

303
00:17:26,040 --> 00:17:29,207
as a solo, independent singer
and performer.

304
00:17:33,833 --> 00:17:36,373
The first four, five years
of his career,

305
00:17:36,374 --> 00:17:39,373
he was very quick at seeing
how the winds changed

306
00:17:39,374 --> 00:17:41,081
and-- and changing with it.

307
00:17:41,082 --> 00:17:43,915
So, you know,
he tried that "Bhagat Singh" thing.

308
00:17:46,666 --> 00:17:50,748
He tried the hip-hop thing.

309
00:17:50,749 --> 00:17:53,790
He tried being an Eminem-style,
gangsta-rapper for a little bit.

310
00:17:56,750 --> 00:17:58,374
Then he went into party-rap.

311
00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:03,498
"Party-rap by itself isn't working."

312
00:18:03,499 --> 00:18:06,539
"But the sort of collabs I'm doing
with the folks guys are working."

313
00:18:06,540 --> 00:18:07,914
"How do I bring these together?"

314
00:18:07,915 --> 00:18:10,123
So, he was like,
"In <i>International Villager,</i>

315
00:18:10,124 --> 00:18:11,915
I'm going to have an international sound."

316
00:18:14,958 --> 00:18:16,998
{\an8}<i>International Villager</i> in 2011.

317
00:18:16,999 --> 00:18:19,873
{\an8}That sound was totally new for India,
in fact the whole world.

318
00:18:19,874 --> 00:18:23,331
It didn't sound like any hip-hop song
that you've ever heard.

319
00:18:23,332 --> 00:18:27,456
It didn't sound like a house song,
techno song, dubstep, whatever.

320
00:18:27,457 --> 00:18:31,039
It was all Yo Yo Honey Singh's sound,
and it was an urban sound.

321
00:18:31,040 --> 00:18:33,248
My friend said,
"Your brother has a show today."

322
00:18:33,249 --> 00:18:35,206
"Do you wanna go?" I said, "Let's go."

323
00:18:35,207 --> 00:18:39,664
That was my first show or concert,
or, you know, watching an artist perform.

324
00:18:39,665 --> 00:18:43,706
I saw people screaming his name.
They wanted to touch him.

325
00:18:43,707 --> 00:18:47,581
I was like,
"Oh my God! Is this my brother?"

326
00:18:47,582 --> 00:18:49,581
{\an8}"There are so many people who love him."

327
00:18:49,582 --> 00:18:52,456
{\an8}<i>In 2012,

328
00:18:52,457 --> 00:18:55,414
{\an8}<i>experienced a notable shift

329
00:18:55,415 --> 00:18:56,831

330
00:18:56,832 --> 00:18:59,000

331
00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:03,831
<i>Best Music Director Award goes to...</i>

332
00:19:03,832 --> 00:19:06,415
My favorite. Honey Singh!

333
00:19:10,166 --> 00:19:12,831
{\an8}A Punjabi artist, born in Delhi,

334
00:19:12,832 --> 00:19:15,623
captures Punjab,
captures pan India and Bihar,

335
00:19:15,624 --> 00:19:16,706
captures Orissa,

336
00:19:16,707 --> 00:19:18,998
then goes all the way to Chennai
and does a show there.

337
00:19:18,999 --> 00:19:20,706
He's a Punjabi artist, mind you.

338
00:19:20,707 --> 00:19:22,998
And the people in Chennai were singing...

339
00:19:22,999 --> 00:19:25,124
<i>♪ Gabru loves you! ♪</i>

340
00:19:29,625 --> 00:19:30,539
Yes.

341
00:19:30,540 --> 00:19:32,164
Will your father agree?

342
00:19:32,165 --> 00:19:35,083
He'll get me married
to anyone but a singer.

343
00:19:35,583 --> 00:19:39,332
Ask your father to google my name.
His son-in-law is a superstar.

344
00:19:42,125 --> 00:19:44,414
{\an8}<i>A high-school love story.</i>

345

{\an8}<i>After 20 years of dating, Shalini Talwar

346
00:19:48,790 --> 00:19:52,208
<i>Relationships like these are very rare.</i>

347
00:19:53,291 --> 00:19:55,914
<i>So, friends, with me today</i>

348
00:19:55,915 --> 00:20:00,123
<i>is the woman who has loved me

349
00:20:00,124 --> 00:20:02,331
<i>The one who is my one and only...</i>

350
00:20:02,332 --> 00:20:04,623
So, is Honey Singh
married or single?

351
00:20:04,624 --> 00:20:06,873
{\an8}I've been happily married
for the last two years.

352
00:20:06,874 --> 00:20:08,706
{\an8}- Oh, really? You're married?
- Yes, two years.

353
00:20:08,707 --> 00:20:10,956
{\an8}It means what they're writing
in the newspapers is true.

354
00:20:10,957 --> 00:20:12,414
{\an8}Really? This was in the newspapers?

355
00:20:12,415 --> 00:20:13,998
<i>We have confirmed reports</i>

356
00:20:13,999 --> 00:20:17,998
<i>that Honey Singh's career will now
be managed by his wife, Shalini.</i>

357
00:20:17,999 --> 00:20:22,458
<i>Let's see what changes Manager Shalini
will bring about in Honey Singh's career.</i>

358
00:20:31,958 --> 00:20:36,373
The first time I saw Honey
was at some concert.

359
00:20:36,374 --> 00:20:38,414
He had just gotten off stage.

360
00:20:38,415 --> 00:20:43,457
{\an8}He was, like, full of energy and that's
the first time I saw Yo Yo Honey Singh.

361
00:20:54,875 --> 00:20:57,164
<i>I started off as a music director</i>

362
00:20:57,165 --> 00:20:59,498
<i>Today my friends are big actors</i>

363
00:20:59,499 --> 00:21:01,456
<i>Bollywood releases many films every day</i>

364
00:21:01,457 --> 00:21:03,873
<i>But for superhit films
Yo Yo is the X-factor</i>

365
00:21:03,874 --> 00:21:06,414
{\an8}When a lot of his songs
featured in Bollywood movies,

366
00:21:06,415 --> 00:21:10,624
{\an8}then we actually realized that he's made
his name there. He's out there.

367
00:21:32,208 --> 00:21:34,748
International Icon Male. Honey Singh!

368
00:21:34,749 --> 00:21:37,039
{\an8}Best Music goes to...

369
00:21:37,040 --> 00:21:40,206
{\an8}Yo Yo Honey Singh!
Please give it up for him!

370
00:21:40,207 --> 00:21:43,290
{\an8}- Yo Yo Honey Singh!
- Yo Yo Honey Singh!

371
00:21:47,166 --> 00:21:48,164
Things were good.

372
00:21:48,165 --> 00:21:50,748
So, I was like, "Now, it's time
to make money. So, let's do it."

373
00:21:50,749 --> 00:21:52,789
And it was fun. The energy was high.

374
00:21:52,790 --> 00:21:55,374
I was seeing success
for the first time in my life.

375
00:21:57,250 --> 00:21:58,873
There's no windows in this house?

376
00:21:58,874 --> 00:22:01,164
No, there are no windows.
There's no space, right?

377
00:22:01,165 --> 00:22:04,748
- So, for 26 years, 24 years...
- 24 years.

378
00:22:04,749 --> 00:22:08,623
- ...you lived in a house without windows?
- Without windows. But still got dreams.

379
00:22:08,624 --> 00:22:10,123
- Still got dreams!
- Dreams!

380
00:22:10,124 --> 00:22:12,414
- Still got dreams.
- It was so compact

381
00:22:12,415 --> 00:22:14,998
that even when my eyes were open,
it felt like they were closed

382
00:22:14,999 --> 00:22:16,373
and I was still dreaming.

383
00:22:16,374 --> 00:22:17,291
Yeah.

384
00:22:17,833 --> 00:22:19,456
This house is like a train box.

385
00:22:19,457 --> 00:22:20,373
Yeah.

386
00:22:20,374 --> 00:22:21,956
It's like a train bo--

387
00:22:21,957 --> 00:22:24,166
What do you call it? A compartment.

388
00:22:24,791 --> 00:22:27,166
You go straight in a line
and, there, it's over.

389
00:22:30,291 --> 00:22:33,581
When I was sick, I'd have these dreams
where I was waking up here.

390
00:22:33,582 --> 00:22:38,000
So, I'd wake up and I'd be like,
"Hey, I'm actually in Noida."

391
00:22:38,791 --> 00:22:42,541
"Oh, I thought I was sleeping over here,
sleeping here in Karampura."

392
00:22:43,416 --> 00:22:45,083
This is what was happening to me.

393
00:22:45,958 --> 00:22:47,831
I've never felt
like I've ever left this place,

394
00:22:47,832 --> 00:22:50,624
and I don't think I ever can leave here,
nor do I ever want to.

395
00:23:04,333 --> 00:23:07,081
That's the thing, right?
Everything is a circle.

396
00:23:07,082 --> 00:23:09,750
One wanders all over
and comes right back to the start.

397
00:23:10,250 --> 00:23:14,583
And I don't want to end up anywhere else.
This is the place I want to come back to.

398
00:23:15,083 --> 00:23:19,039
So, whenever I die, I want to be
brought back to this cremation ground.

399
00:23:19,040 --> 00:23:22,541
If there's one thing
that I've understood about this world,

400
00:23:23,750 --> 00:23:28,541
it's that the biggest lie in a man's life
is life itself.

401
00:23:29,375 --> 00:23:33,875
Life... is false, it's a lie.

402
00:23:34,875 --> 00:23:37,500
Death is the truth. It's inevitable.

403
00:23:38,500 --> 00:23:39,875
And no one can change that.

404
00:23:43,875 --> 00:23:47,666
So, everything is temporary.
So, live it to the fullest.

405
00:23:48,375 --> 00:23:50,998
So, that's why I try to stay happy
as far as I can.

406
00:23:50,999 --> 00:23:54,791
I try to keep the people around me happy.
I crack all sorts of weird jokes.

407
00:23:55,333 --> 00:23:57,916
I make my music. I dance a lot.

408
00:23:58,416 --> 00:24:01,666
I perform for my fans.
I do what it takes to make people happy.

409
00:24:03,083 --> 00:24:06,958
Happiness and joy, it's what I want
to give to this fucking world.

410
00:24:09,708 --> 00:24:13,331
When I die, I want people to say,
"Fuck! This guy really lived life."

411
00:24:13,332 --> 00:24:15,125
"He lived his life, the fucker."

412
00:24:29,541 --> 00:24:31,539
Who do I give the flowers to?
I don't have--

413
00:24:31,540 --> 00:24:33,373
Hang them in the car.
They smell good.

414
00:24:33,374 --> 00:24:35,625
- In the car?
- It's jasmine.

415
00:24:36,708 --> 00:24:39,333
This is all I have.
I don't have my wallet right now.

416
00:24:40,500 --> 00:24:42,623
- Thank you, sir!
- Thank you.

417
00:24:42,624 --> 00:24:43,914
Shake hands?

418
00:24:43,915 --> 00:24:45,914
- Do you know my name?
- Honey Singh.

419
00:24:45,915 --> 00:24:48,539
Honey Singh is not my name.
It's Yo Yo Honey Singh.

420
00:24:48,540 --> 00:24:50,457
<i>♪ Yo Yo Honey Singh! ♪</i>

421

I still look smart?
She says I still look smart.

423
00:24:56,915 --> 00:24:58,914
Are you on a diet?
You've lost weight.

424
00:24:58,915 --> 00:25:01,581
- Yeah, I'm on a diet.
- You had become a little...

425
00:25:01,582 --> 00:25:03,248
- I'd put on weight, right?
- Yeah.

426
00:25:03,249 --> 00:25:06,039
{\an8}- Now I'm back to my old self?
- You should make a comeback.

427

I'm back, I'm back. Don't worry.

428
00:25:07,624 --> 00:25:10,539
You asked, right? "Why do you need
to lose weight and become thin?"

429
00:25:10,540 --> 00:25:11,748
"Is it really important?"

430
00:25:11,749 --> 00:25:14,164
"Do you want to do it
for yourself or for people?"

431
00:25:14,165 --> 00:25:16,039
I told you, "It's for my fans."

432
00:25:16,040 --> 00:25:19,331
They're noticing and asking,
"Are you on a diet? You've lost weight."

433
00:25:19,332 --> 00:25:21,956
"You're looking like your old self.
You still look smart."

434
00:25:21,957 --> 00:25:24,039
They even said,
"You'd put on weight in between."

435
00:25:24,040 --> 00:25:25,000
So, they follow.

436
00:25:29,708 --> 00:25:33,208
We're on our way to the "Designer" shoot.
We're going to the set.

437
00:25:33,708 --> 00:25:36,375
Today, it's a fashion show setup.

438
00:25:36,958 --> 00:25:38,831
Please don't laugh
when you see what I'm wearing.

439
00:25:38,832 --> 00:25:42,583
{\an8}I'll be doing some really weird stuff
in this video.

440
00:25:45,791 --> 00:25:49,081
"Designer" is the second song
in my comeback plan

441
00:25:49,082 --> 00:25:51,706
after "Paris ka Trip,"
which was younger and peppier.

442
00:25:51,707 --> 00:25:54,039
But "Designer" is back
with the old Honey Singh scale.

443
00:25:54,040 --> 00:25:59,248
It's, like, grand, grand visuals
with an amazing artist, Guru Randhawa.

444
00:25:59,249 --> 00:26:02,039
It's Guru's idea,
which I have expressed in my music

445
00:26:02,040 --> 00:26:04,791
and which Mihir will depict
in his visuals today.

446
00:26:05,291 --> 00:26:07,789
And me saying that,
"Make me your designer..."

447
00:26:07,790 --> 00:26:10,039
{\an8}- Me also saying that, "Make me your..."
- "Designer."

448
00:26:10,040 --> 00:26:11,414
{\an8}Guru Randhawa in the house.

449
00:26:11,415 --> 00:26:13,289
{\an8}We made this song in 2020.

450
00:26:13,290 --> 00:26:14,831
{\an8}- Yeah.
- Now we're shooting in '22.

451
00:26:14,832 --> 00:26:17,998
He waited for me
to lose weight, to look good.

452
00:26:17,999 --> 00:26:20,539
- I said--
- No, <i>paaji,</i> we waited...

453
00:26:20,540 --> 00:26:21,664
You waited for us.

454
00:26:21,665 --> 00:26:23,706
- To give us a chance on this music.
- No way.

455
00:26:23,707 --> 00:26:26,873
You waited for us.
I remember I was in, uh, college.

456
00:26:26,874 --> 00:26:29,581
And, uh, <i>bhai</i>
had a show going on that day.

457
00:26:29,582 --> 00:26:32,664
Obviously, I couldn't get tickets
for that show,

458
00:26:32,665 --> 00:26:34,498
but I saw <i>bhai</i> and came back.

459
00:26:34,499 --> 00:26:37,373
But today, uh,
I'm getting to work with him.

460
00:26:37,374 --> 00:26:41,581
So, I'm really, really having a lot of fun
and I'm feeling very proud.

461
00:26:41,582 --> 00:26:44,289
This song demanded some good music.

462
00:26:44,290 --> 00:26:46,248
So, I've created music for this song.

463
00:26:46,249 --> 00:26:49,748
I didn't just make a beat for it.
I didn't just program the groove.

464
00:26:49,749 --> 00:26:52,415
I've programmed everything
and the drop especially.

465
00:26:54,333 --> 00:26:55,999
It's a high. It's a high, the drop.

466
00:27:15,625 --> 00:27:17,706
Oh, fuck! They're recording this too.

467
00:27:17,707 --> 00:27:19,625
What more do you guys want to see?

468
00:27:20,125 --> 00:27:22,373
Check this out.
I'm wearing a white underwear.

469
00:27:22,374 --> 00:27:23,750
It's Versace.

470
00:27:24,333 --> 00:27:26,083
What are you doing?

471
00:27:26,666 --> 00:27:29,539
- I'm showing you my Versace underwear.
- Love it.

472
00:27:29,540 --> 00:27:33,289
- You guys want to see everything, man.
- Yeah, we want to get in, babe!

473
00:27:33,290 --> 00:27:35,707
Fuck it.

474
00:28:16,625 --> 00:28:19,165
<i>Paaji,</i> listen to this song. Bollywood.

475
00:28:42,291 --> 00:28:45,083
Fucking bullshit, man.

476
00:28:45,583 --> 00:28:47,916
This is fucking Indian music.

477
00:28:48,416 --> 00:28:51,833
Why do you blame
motherfucking Yo Yo Honey Singh only?

478
00:28:54,166 --> 00:28:55,456
Thank you, sir!

479
00:28:55,457 --> 00:28:58,498
People love me.
That's why I'm Yo Yo Honey Singh today.

480
00:28:58,499 --> 00:29:00,706
Even these kids from the streets
still recognize me

481
00:29:00,707 --> 00:29:02,039
because they have all loved me.

482
00:29:02,040 --> 00:29:04,581
There are some people
who have accused me and defamed me,

483
00:29:04,582 --> 00:29:07,539
saying, "This guy makes vulgar songs."

484
00:29:07,540 --> 00:29:09,623
If I made vulgar songs,
would people have called me

485
00:29:09,624 --> 00:29:11,789
to their sisters' weddings
to perform for them?

486
00:29:11,790 --> 00:29:14,206
Would they invite me
to perform at their daughters' weddings?

487
00:29:14,207 --> 00:29:16,873
I sing all the songs
that I'm known for there.

488
00:29:16,874 --> 00:29:20,706
From "Enna Vina Dope Shope Maare"
to "Aunty Police Bulalegi" to everything.

489
00:29:20,707 --> 00:29:24,000
And they go mad. They go wild on them.

490
00:29:24,875 --> 00:29:27,000
Are you apologetic
about any of it?

491
00:29:27,500 --> 00:29:28,375
None of it.

492
00:29:29,416 --> 00:29:30,416
None of it.

493
00:29:31,916 --> 00:29:34,873
{\an8}Tell me which is the song
you said is your favorite song?

494
00:29:34,874 --> 00:29:36,123
{\an8}"Blue Eyes."

495
00:29:36,124 --> 00:29:38,956
{\an8}Mine too. Yours?

496
00:29:38,957 --> 00:29:41,164
"Blue Eyes"?
You all keep saying the same song.

497
00:29:41,165 --> 00:29:43,873
What was the one with Shah Rukh,
the Shah Rukh one?

498
00:29:43,874 --> 00:29:46,208
"Lungi Dance."

499
00:29:47,041 --> 00:29:48,291
"Brown Rang!"

500
00:29:48,875 --> 00:29:50,414
"Brown Rang!" Who said "Brown Rang"?

501
00:29:50,415 --> 00:29:53,039
- I...
- That's my favorite song.

502
00:29:53,040 --> 00:29:54,624
That's my favorite too.

503
00:30:07,708 --> 00:30:08,625
Whoa!

504
00:30:09,500 --> 00:30:11,039
"Brown Rang 2" is coming up.

505
00:30:11,040 --> 00:30:12,039
Whoa!

506
00:30:12,040 --> 00:30:14,166
No, but I like "Brown Mundey."

507
00:30:14,666 --> 00:30:16,289
That's not even my song!

508
00:30:16,290 --> 00:30:17,539
Really?

509
00:30:17,540 --> 00:30:19,791
- "Brown Rang."
- "Brown Rang," right.

510
00:30:20,291 --> 00:30:21,414
Yeah, "Brown Mundey."

511
00:30:21,415 --> 00:30:24,164
So, I'm gonna listen to
Honey Singh's song tomorrow and--

512
00:30:24,165 --> 00:30:26,625
She's not my fan at all, okay? <i>Khalaas!</i>

513
00:30:31,125 --> 00:30:32,206
Today, I'm having fun.

514
00:30:32,207 --> 00:30:34,498
There are so many girls...
so many girls to interact with.

515
00:30:34,499 --> 00:30:37,123
Yesterday and the day before,
it was very subtle.

516
00:30:37,124 --> 00:30:39,206
If I'd jumped around there,
it would've looked weird.

517
00:30:39,207 --> 00:30:40,664
Who jumps around in a fashion show?

518
00:30:40,665 --> 00:30:43,873
I've already performed in a fashion show.
It was for the Miss India pageant.

519
00:30:43,874 --> 00:30:45,083
I was on the jury too.

520
00:30:45,583 --> 00:30:47,748
When I performed there...
Check out my performance there.

521
00:30:47,749 --> 00:30:50,331
It's completely different
from all my other performances.

522
00:30:50,332 --> 00:30:52,539
I was just like that, very subtle.

523
00:30:52,540 --> 00:30:54,541
Girls were moving around
and all that stuff.

524
00:30:56,500 --> 00:31:00,123
This Miss India performance,
that happened after the <i>Nirbhaya</i> incident.

525
00:31:00,124 --> 00:31:02,039
2014. Yeah.

526
00:31:02,040 --> 00:31:03,914
When did
the <i>Nirbhaya</i> thing happen?

527
00:31:03,915 --> 00:31:05,041
2012.

528
00:31:05,791 --> 00:31:09,456
Fuck! It's already been
ten years since it happened?

529
00:31:09,457 --> 00:31:11,206
We were reading about it and we were like,

530
00:31:11,207 --> 00:31:13,664
"Okay, on the one hand,
all of this is happening,

531
00:31:13,665 --> 00:31:16,914
and on the other hand, he's still
performing at Miss India." It was weird.

532
00:31:16,915 --> 00:31:19,456
But what-- What's the <i>Nirbhaya</i> case
got to do with me?

533
00:31:19,457 --> 00:31:22,664
Why did you mention
the <i>Nirbhaya</i> case in this conversation?

534
00:31:22,665 --> 00:31:25,373
You should have started the conversation
with the "Balatkaari" song.

535
00:31:25,374 --> 00:31:27,373
'Cause the controversy
started after that.

536
00:31:27,374 --> 00:31:30,081
Whatever it is! But why is my name
being mentioned with <i>Nirbhaya?</i>

537
00:31:30,082 --> 00:31:31,123
Correct.

538
00:31:31,124 --> 00:31:33,789
But "Main Hoon Balatkaari"
existed before <i>Nirbhaya</i>.

539
00:31:33,790 --> 00:31:35,414
But that's not my song either.

540
00:31:35,415 --> 00:31:38,039
At that time,
no one had made that connection, Honey.

541
00:31:38,040 --> 00:31:39,833
Yeah, but I still got dragged in.

542
00:31:43,208 --> 00:31:44,581
We want justice!

543
00:31:44,582 --> 00:31:47,914
{\an8}<i>On December 16th,
a 23-year-old student</i>

544
00:31:47,915 --> 00:31:50,164
{\an8}<i>was brutally assaulted on a moving bus.</i>

545
00:31:50,165 --> 00:31:54,289
<i>Enraged students and women
held a protest at India Gate,</i>

546
00:31:54,290 --> 00:31:57,039
<i>in response to the brutal rape,
demanding justice.</i>

547
00:31:57,040 --> 00:31:59,289
We want justice!

548
00:31:59,290 --> 00:32:02,206
{\an8}It was 2012,
<i>Bhaiya's</i> songs were a big hit,

549
00:32:02,207 --> 00:32:05,041
{\an8}and that was when
the <i>Nirbhaya</i> case happened.

550
00:32:06,541 --> 00:32:08,333
I was there, protesting,

551
00:32:08,833 --> 00:32:11,456
{\an8}because being a woman,
I know how it feels, right?

552
00:32:11,457 --> 00:32:15,706
{\an8}After two days,
or maybe three days, I was in office,

553
00:32:15,707 --> 00:32:18,831
{\an8}and, uh, I just read
this news about my brother,

554
00:32:18,832 --> 00:32:21,914
that, you know,
he made this song to glorify rape.

555
00:32:21,915 --> 00:32:24,414
He's made a song.
It's called "Main Hoon Balatkaari."

556
00:32:24,415 --> 00:32:26,998
{\an8}It's so dirty.
He's made such a dirty song.

557
00:32:26,999 --> 00:32:30,414
{\an8}I heard the song today.
It-- It made my blood boil.

558
00:32:30,415 --> 00:32:31,873
{\an8}I'm at a loss for words.

559
00:32:31,874 --> 00:32:34,748
We have asked for an FIR
to be filed against him.

560
00:32:34,749 --> 00:32:37,164
{\an8}<i>Honey Singh's concert
in Vadodara, Gujarat,</i>

561
00:32:37,165 --> 00:32:38,748
{\an8}<i>is being strongly protested.</i>

562
00:32:38,749 --> 00:32:41,581
{\an8}<i>Honey Singh's film</i>
Tu Mera Bhai, Main Tera Bhai

563
00:32:41,582 --> 00:32:43,164
{\an8}<i>has been released today.</i>

564
00:32:43,165 --> 00:32:45,499
<i>People are holding
demonstrations against it.</i>

565
00:32:57,291 --> 00:33:00,541
{\an8}The media changed everything
with one story.

566
00:33:01,041 --> 00:33:04,414
{\an8}The media didn't really think
it was necessary

567
00:33:04,415 --> 00:33:08,164
{\an8}to even figure out
if this was really Honey Singh's song.

568
00:33:08,165 --> 00:33:10,748
{\an8}When I haven't even sung the song
"Main Hoon Balatkaari,"

569
00:33:10,749 --> 00:33:12,498
{\an8}I'm being dragged
to these different courts

570
00:33:12,499 --> 00:33:13,998
{\an8}for the last 10 months and, uh...

571
00:33:13,999 --> 00:33:17,206
{\an8}When the court dismissed the PIL,
then the CFS have got involved.

572
00:33:17,207 --> 00:33:18,498
{\an8}And now it's all gone too far.

573
00:33:18,499 --> 00:33:22,706
{\an8}The kind of songs he's always made,
it is easy to assume that maybe,

574
00:33:22,707 --> 00:33:25,414
{\an8}giving him the benefit of
the doubt, maybe he has written it.

575
00:33:25,415 --> 00:33:28,333
{\an8}"Main Hoon Balatkaari"
was not written by me or sung by me.

576
00:33:29,291 --> 00:33:32,414
{\an8}He was all over the media.

577
00:33:32,415 --> 00:33:34,331
Everyone started hating him.

578
00:33:34,332 --> 00:33:35,833
Everyone started

579
00:33:36,833 --> 00:33:39,373
accusing him as if he was the rapist.

580
00:33:39,374 --> 00:33:42,373
{\an8}What is this obscenity
you've been spreading in the country?

581
00:33:42,374 --> 00:33:44,248
{\an8}Vulgar songs, vulgar lyrics.

582
00:33:44,249 --> 00:33:47,414
{\an8}Everything I've learned about the world,
how I express myself,

583
00:33:47,415 --> 00:33:50,789
{\an8}it's by listening to others.
I've learned it all amongst people.

584
00:33:50,790 --> 00:33:52,833
{\an8}This is society itself.

585
00:33:53,833 --> 00:33:56,414
{\an8}People like blaming artists.
We're used to it.

586
00:33:56,415 --> 00:33:59,664
{\an8}We already know that
people will talk no matter what we do.

587
00:33:59,665 --> 00:34:02,998
{\an8}But the whole family gets abused, man.

588
00:34:02,999 --> 00:34:04,789
We used to get threats.

589
00:34:04,790 --> 00:34:09,875
People used to say, "We--
We'll shoot him whenever we see him."

590
00:34:12,541 --> 00:34:14,333
We lived in fear.

591
00:34:15,250 --> 00:34:18,081
{\an8}Today, after six or seven months,
I can catch my breath.

592
00:34:18,082 --> 00:34:20,331
{\an8}When you're persecuted
for doing absolutely nothing,

593
00:34:20,332 --> 00:34:23,414
{\an8}you go through such turmoil,
you can't imagine. Only I know.

594
00:34:23,415 --> 00:34:25,874
{\an8}You will see that reflected
in my upcoming songs too.

595
00:34:53,791 --> 00:34:55,789
We know
he didn't sing the song "Balatkaari."

596
00:34:55,790 --> 00:34:58,748
{\an8}- But he did sing the song "Choot," right?
- I've never heard it.

597
00:34:58,749 --> 00:35:00,039
{\an8}- Never heard it?
- No.

598
00:35:00,040 --> 00:35:01,039
{\an8}<i>♪ Tung, tung, tung ♪</i>

599
00:35:01,040 --> 00:35:03,331
- I love it. We groove to it.
<i>- ♪ Tung, tung ♪</i>

600
00:35:03,332 --> 00:35:05,748
{\an8}I've never listened to that song complete.

601
00:35:05,749 --> 00:35:08,373
{\an8}<i>-♪ Tung, tung ♪</i>
- I heard, but I don't know if it's him.

602
00:35:08,374 --> 00:35:10,456
{\an8}<i>♪ Tung, tung, dun, dun ♪</i>

603
00:35:10,457 --> 00:35:14,248
So "Choot Vol. 1" is this song
that these guys apparently wrote,

604
00:35:14,249 --> 00:35:17,248
"Mafia Mundeer,"
which is Badshah, Honey Singh,

605
00:35:17,249 --> 00:35:20,539
and Ikka, Lil Golu, and Raftaar.

606
00:35:20,540 --> 00:35:24,664
{\an8}The people who've redefined
the genre of music,

607
00:35:24,665 --> 00:35:27,164
{\an8}they feel like the world
is nothing in front of them.

608
00:35:27,165 --> 00:35:28,373
{\an8}The world belongs to them.

609
00:35:28,374 --> 00:35:31,998
{\an8}There's this time period
of immaturity, bro, teenagers have,

610
00:35:31,999 --> 00:35:33,664
{\an8}you know, where they do stupid things.

611
00:35:33,665 --> 00:35:36,414
We also did stupid things.
We were all young. We were kids.

612
00:35:36,415 --> 00:35:38,248
We were growing up,
getting to know the world.

613
00:35:38,249 --> 00:35:39,998
{\an8} "You've been fucked
by 25 villages."

614
00:35:39,999 --> 00:35:42,498
{\an8}"My dick is now ready."

615
00:35:42,499 --> 00:35:44,373
{\an8}"I'll take your pussy with me today."

616
00:35:44,374 --> 00:35:46,706
{\an8}So, basically,
they're saying,

617
00:35:46,707 --> 00:35:50,706
{\an8}"I'm going to fuck you,
and my dick has prepared itself for that."

618
00:35:50,707 --> 00:35:55,123
"So, you know, my manhood is dependent
on the fact that I'm going to fuck you."

619
00:35:55,124 --> 00:35:57,583
It's very aggressive, very, like, sort of,

620
00:35:58,500 --> 00:36:02,789
like, bordering on violent
in terms of its imagery.

621
00:36:02,790 --> 00:36:06,539
It's not just about women
or how it makes them feel.

622
00:36:06,540 --> 00:36:07,956
It's also about the fact that

623
00:36:07,957 --> 00:36:10,706
where is the man
who's writing this coming from?

624
00:36:10,707 --> 00:36:12,331
And wherever that may be,

625
00:36:12,332 --> 00:36:14,914
has he now, whatever his age is,

626
00:36:14,915 --> 00:36:17,206
30-year-old something,
40-year-old something,

627
00:36:17,207 --> 00:36:20,039
has he-- has he now reflected back on it?

628
00:36:20,040 --> 00:36:22,456
Do you regret doing the song?

629
00:36:22,457 --> 00:36:23,914
The song is not mine.

630
00:36:23,915 --> 00:36:26,206
- You're saying it's not your song?
- No.

631
00:36:26,207 --> 00:36:27,998
It's been attributed as your song.

632
00:36:27,999 --> 00:36:30,081
It's been attributed
as a "Mafia Mundeer" song

633
00:36:30,082 --> 00:36:32,498
with you, Badshah, and Ikka.
It's not just your song--

634
00:36:32,499 --> 00:36:34,831
There can be many songs like this
attributed to Mozez Singh

635
00:36:34,832 --> 00:36:36,125
on the internet tomorrow.

636
00:36:36,625 --> 00:36:37,666
Would you like that?

637
00:36:38,375 --> 00:36:41,208
- Come on, you know it's your song.
- No, it's not.

638
00:36:41,791 --> 00:36:43,831
A lot of artists have horrible songs

639
00:36:43,832 --> 00:36:45,789
stuck around
somewhere on their hard disks.

640
00:36:45,790 --> 00:36:46,998
For me, the bigger problem

641
00:36:46,999 --> 00:36:49,914
is not that he did a song like "Choot,"
which is awful,

642
00:36:49,915 --> 00:36:52,123
but also, I don't think,
intended for mass release.

643
00:36:52,124 --> 00:36:53,748
The issue is that, like,

644
00:36:53,749 --> 00:36:58,623
the sort of attitudes
that are visible on that song,

645
00:36:58,624 --> 00:37:01,956
it's the same idea of what role
women play in their music.

646
00:37:01,957 --> 00:37:03,581
It's a little more grown up,

647
00:37:03,582 --> 00:37:06,874
less in your face, less raw version
of the same sort of thinking.

648
00:37:09,916 --> 00:37:13,124
I don't feel particularly comfortable
listening to his songs.

649
00:37:20,291 --> 00:37:22,248
Money, cars, wealth.

650
00:37:22,249 --> 00:37:24,333
Comparing brown girls, white girls.

651
00:37:25,416 --> 00:37:27,373
How many chicks,
how many break-ups you've had.

652
00:37:27,374 --> 00:37:30,248
Close-up shots of waists and hips.

653
00:37:30,249 --> 00:37:34,164
Yeah, his songs are a little misogynistic.
They absolutely are, but...

654
00:37:34,165 --> 00:37:35,498
Childhood crush!

655
00:37:35,499 --> 00:37:37,206
We've grown up listening to Honey's music.

656
00:37:37,207 --> 00:37:39,749
His songs sound nice
because he's creating something.

657
00:37:42,833 --> 00:37:44,998
When you listen
to a song like this,

658
00:37:44,999 --> 00:37:48,289
and it comes from
this immense source of star power,

659
00:37:48,290 --> 00:37:52,123
when that gives it validation that,
"Hey, Honey Singh is singing this song."

660
00:37:52,124 --> 00:37:55,081
"Look at where he's reached
singing songs like this."

661
00:37:55,082 --> 00:37:56,831
That is what I had an issue with.

662
00:37:56,832 --> 00:37:58,123
I just wanted to work.

663
00:37:58,124 --> 00:38:01,290
I made this decision when I was shooting
the "Dope Shope" music video.

664
00:38:05,375 --> 00:38:08,083
So I used to see girls in Delhi
who were smoking weed.

665
00:38:14,750 --> 00:38:17,831
I saw them dancing to this song
called "Tonight I'm fucking you"

666
00:38:17,832 --> 00:38:19,539
by Enrique Iglesias.

667
00:38:19,540 --> 00:38:22,583
So, I was like,
"If this guy is writing such bold lyrics,

668
00:38:23,083 --> 00:38:28,039
and he's taking two girls on a yacht
and kissing them both in the music video,

669
00:38:28,040 --> 00:38:31,039
he's doing all this and the girls
are loving it and they're smoking up,

670
00:38:31,040 --> 00:38:32,166
so should I try this too?"

671
00:38:32,750 --> 00:38:34,539
So, I also shot on a video on a yacht.

672
00:38:34,540 --> 00:38:37,914
If you watch the "Dope Shope" video,
you'll see girls wearing skimpy clothes,

673
00:38:37,915 --> 00:38:39,914
there's dancing going on and all that.

674
00:38:39,915 --> 00:38:42,623
I did it. People accepted it.
People really liked it.

675
00:38:42,624 --> 00:38:46,083
So, I tried it, and it worked out.
So, then I kept on doing it.

676
00:38:47,958 --> 00:38:50,623
They all say,
"This is what the audience wants,"

677
00:38:50,624 --> 00:38:54,000
which is the worst cop out. Ever.

678
00:38:54,666 --> 00:38:56,581
Why? But it is what they want.

679
00:38:56,582 --> 00:39:00,748
Yes, and so then are you an artist
or are you a supplier?

680
00:39:00,749 --> 00:39:01,791
Are you a vendor?

681
00:39:04,833 --> 00:39:08,664
No human being's motive
is ever to hurt anyone.

682
00:39:08,665 --> 00:39:10,581
It's just to entertain people.

683
00:39:10,582 --> 00:39:12,498
And getting so much hate...

684
00:39:12,499 --> 00:39:14,706
- An accusation is an accusation.
- ...for no reason.

685
00:39:14,707 --> 00:39:18,875
Well, any normal person
will get mentally affected by all of this.

686
00:39:19,500 --> 00:39:20,623
I still remember

687
00:39:20,624 --> 00:39:24,081
that two of his projects
were going on together.

688
00:39:24,082 --> 00:39:28,000
There was <i>Raw Star</i>
and then there was the Temptation Tour.

689
00:39:31,541 --> 00:39:34,500
{\an8}<i>♪ This is called Raw Star
Raw Star ♪</i>

690
00:39:35,083 --> 00:39:36,916
Hey, I'm tired, man.

691
00:39:37,500 --> 00:39:38,956
That was a really stressful time.

692
00:39:38,957 --> 00:39:42,498
At the same time, I was doing
shows and releasing albums.

693
00:39:42,499 --> 00:39:46,081
"Blue Eyes" and "Lungi Dance"
were being shot, all this simultaneously.

694
00:39:46,082 --> 00:39:48,539
It was all so new to me, you know?

695
00:39:48,540 --> 00:39:50,998
I couldn't stand the idea
of saying no to anything.

696
00:39:50,999 --> 00:39:53,914
I wanted to do everything,
and I forgot I'm not Superman.

697
00:39:53,915 --> 00:39:57,750
{\an8}It took us seven hours
to get here from Mumbai.

698
00:39:58,250 --> 00:40:00,498
{\an8}We could get to England in so much time.

699
00:40:00,499 --> 00:40:04,666
{\an8}<i>Early 2014. I saw a change in him.</i>

700
00:40:05,458 --> 00:40:07,914
{\an8}<i>I saw... For the first time ever,</i>

701
00:40:07,915 --> 00:40:11,458
{\an8}<i>I saw him questioning,
"How am I going to do this?"</i>

702
00:40:12,000 --> 00:40:14,706
<i>He used to do
up to three to four shows in one day.</i>

703
00:40:14,707 --> 00:40:17,623
<i>Although we lived in Noida,
after a show, he wouldn't come home.</i>

704
00:40:17,624 --> 00:40:19,748
<i>He would just keep himself busy.</i>

705
00:40:19,749 --> 00:40:24,289
<i>After that, out of 365 days,
we wouldn't see him for 300 days.</i>

706
00:40:24,290 --> 00:40:25,583
<i>That's how busy he was.</i>

707
00:40:27,250 --> 00:40:29,873
<i>He would hardly have
any time to spend with us.</i>

708
00:40:29,874 --> 00:40:32,083
<i>It was almost like isolation.</i>

709
00:40:34,041 --> 00:40:36,373
<i>And that's when
he started drinking a lot,</i>

710
00:40:36,374 --> 00:40:38,666
<i>which I found out about much later.</i>

711
00:40:40,208 --> 00:40:42,664
<i>If a car has a flat tire
and you keep driving it,</i>

712
00:40:42,665 --> 00:40:45,289
<i>what will happen to it?
At that time, we were helpless.</i>

713
00:40:45,290 --> 00:40:48,081
<i>You're driving the car, and the steering
is in someone else's hands.</i>

714
00:40:48,082 --> 00:40:49,456
<i>He wasn't in control.</i>

715
00:40:49,457 --> 00:40:52,707
I'm in Ranchi!
So, Ranchi, make some noise!

716
00:40:55,333 --> 00:40:56,956
Everything happened together.

717
00:40:56,957 --> 00:40:58,831
India's <i>Raw Star</i> was about to be launched,

718
00:40:58,832 --> 00:41:01,414
and Shah Rukh <i>Bhai</i> said,
"You're coming with me on the SLAM Tour."

719
00:41:01,415 --> 00:41:02,831
I said, "All right, let's go."

720
00:41:02,832 --> 00:41:05,331
The next day, we took a flight
and went straight to America.

721
00:41:05,332 --> 00:41:08,289
In ten days,
we flew to America four times.

722
00:41:08,290 --> 00:41:09,789
Four times. Back and forth.

723
00:41:09,790 --> 00:41:12,373
We're going there, coming back,
going there, coming back.

724
00:41:12,374 --> 00:41:15,748
{\an8}It was
the second shoot for <i>Raw Star.</i>

725
00:41:15,749 --> 00:41:19,414
{\an8}I got news that
the first episode did not go well.

726
00:41:19,415 --> 00:41:20,998
{\an8}He was not confident.

727
00:41:20,999 --> 00:41:24,291
{\an8}He was fearful, and he was not himself.

728
00:41:24,791 --> 00:41:28,583
{\an8}At that time, we could not decide
whether we need to stop right now

729
00:41:29,250 --> 00:41:30,873
and go back home and rest.

730
00:41:30,874 --> 00:41:35,039
The time it took us to understand that
and cancel any commitments,

731
00:41:35,040 --> 00:41:36,414
we were already too late.

732
00:41:36,415 --> 00:41:39,124
In the middle of all that,
the Temptations tour came up.

733
00:41:40,791 --> 00:41:43,081
Yo Yo, it's your boy, Yo Yo Honey Singh.

734
00:41:43,082 --> 00:41:46,582
I'm coming with the one and only
biggest superstar, Mr. Shah Rukh Khan.

735
00:41:48,958 --> 00:41:50,623
This show is gonna rock!

736
00:41:50,624 --> 00:41:52,875
Gradually, I developed symptoms

737
00:41:53,500 --> 00:41:56,498
of suspicion and paranoia,

738
00:41:56,499 --> 00:41:58,456
that someone's conspiring against me,

739
00:41:58,457 --> 00:42:01,248
someone's going to frame me,
something weird like that.

740
00:42:01,249 --> 00:42:02,914
Maybe they'll file a case against me.

741
00:42:02,915 --> 00:42:05,123
I didn't really understand
what was happening with me.

742
00:42:05,124 --> 00:42:06,289
Why was I feeling like this?

743
00:42:06,290 --> 00:42:08,291
It was 4:00...

744
00:42:09,250 --> 00:42:12,039
It was 3:00 a.m. here in India
and he was in the US,

745
00:42:12,040 --> 00:42:14,164
and he was supposed
to go for his sound check.

746
00:42:14,165 --> 00:42:16,250
He messaged me, "I'm not feeling okay."

747
00:42:16,875 --> 00:42:19,124
And this was the first time
he said something.

748
00:42:21,833 --> 00:42:23,664
I was in my room. He messaged again,

749
00:42:23,665 --> 00:42:26,331
"Something's not right with me.
See what I'm doing."

750
00:42:26,332 --> 00:42:27,706
I said, <i>"Bhai,</i> what happened?"

751
00:42:27,707 --> 00:42:30,289
He said, "Can you come on Skype?"
I said, "Yes."

752
00:42:30,290 --> 00:42:31,873
And then he said that...

753
00:42:31,874 --> 00:42:34,500
- "Please bring me back."
- "Please just save me."

754
00:42:35,000 --> 00:42:37,041
He said, <i>"Gudiya,</i> please save me."

755
00:42:40,958 --> 00:42:41,958
And then...

756
00:42:43,958 --> 00:42:45,206
he disconnected.

757
00:42:45,207 --> 00:42:48,414
And I-- I was trying
to reach out to Shalini.

758
00:42:48,415 --> 00:42:52,539
She said, "He has to do this shoot.
You convince him to do this show."

759
00:42:52,540 --> 00:42:53,914
And I said, "I can't."

760
00:42:53,915 --> 00:42:56,789
"Because, see,
this is what he's sending me."

761
00:42:56,790 --> 00:43:00,623
"He just said that he's not feeling okay.
Something bad is happening."

762
00:43:00,624 --> 00:43:03,206
His body wasn't allowing it,
nor was his mind.

763
00:43:03,207 --> 00:43:05,291
And, for three hours,

764
00:43:06,708 --> 00:43:08,375
we had no contact with them.

765
00:43:09,166 --> 00:43:13,208
Then, three hours later,
I got news that he's in the hospital.

766
00:43:13,708 --> 00:43:15,041
He's got stitches.

767
00:43:17,958 --> 00:43:21,081
{\an8}<i>We're getting reports that
Shah Rukh Khan slapped Honey Singh</i>

768
00:43:21,082 --> 00:43:22,706
{\an8}<i>during the SLAM Tour promotion.</i>

769
00:43:22,707 --> 00:43:26,331
<i>It was Honey Singh's
unprofessional behavior that provoked...</i>

770
00:43:26,332 --> 00:43:28,875
...<i>the superstar
asked him to leave the show.</i>

771
00:43:29,708 --> 00:43:33,039
Someone spread the rumor
that Shah Rukh Khan slapped Honey Singh.

772
00:43:33,040 --> 00:43:35,625
That man loves me so much,
he'd never do that.

773
00:43:36,375 --> 00:43:38,956
Now, I'll tell you
what happened nine years ago.

774
00:43:38,957 --> 00:43:41,916
No one knows what I'm about to say
in front of this camera today.

775
00:43:42,416 --> 00:43:43,750
No one knows about it.

776
00:43:45,291 --> 00:43:47,748
When they took me along
for the Chicago show,

777
00:43:47,749 --> 00:43:49,498
I said, "I don't wanna do this show."

778
00:43:49,499 --> 00:43:51,373
I felt like I'd die during that show.

779
00:43:51,374 --> 00:43:52,706
I wasn't ready for the show.

780
00:43:52,707 --> 00:43:54,456
They said, "Get him ready. Come on."

781
00:43:54,457 --> 00:43:55,914
My management team turned up.

782
00:43:55,915 --> 00:43:57,998
They said, "Get ready.
Why aren't you getting ready?"

783
00:43:57,999 --> 00:43:59,664
The people with me said, "Get ready."

784
00:43:59,665 --> 00:44:01,416
I said, "I'm not going,
I already told you."

785
00:44:02,208 --> 00:44:03,248
I said, "I'm not going."

786
00:44:03,249 --> 00:44:06,539
I went to the washroom, took a trimmer,
and I shaved my hair off.

787
00:44:06,540 --> 00:44:09,375
I said, "How can I perform now?"
They said, "Wear a cap and perform."

788
00:44:10,250 --> 00:44:11,914
I said, "You're not even listening to me."

789
00:44:11,915 --> 00:44:14,456
I said, "I don't want to go!
I don't want to go!"

790
00:44:14,457 --> 00:44:17,833
I kept sitting in the chair like this.
"I'm not performing today!"

791
00:44:18,458 --> 00:44:21,625
There was a coffee mug lying there.
I picked it up and smashed it on my head.

792
00:44:29,916 --> 00:44:34,125
That day, I think I was very assertive
and I said, "Bring him back."

793
00:44:34,833 --> 00:44:36,623
He's everything, you know.

794
00:44:36,624 --> 00:44:39,248
If anything happens to him,
there's no point.

795
00:44:39,249 --> 00:44:43,873
So, we took the decision
that work needs to stop.

796
00:44:43,874 --> 00:44:44,914
"You come home."

797
00:44:44,915 --> 00:44:47,333
"We'll figure out
what needs to be done after that."

798
00:45:11,500 --> 00:45:12,833
It's bipolar disorder.

799
00:45:13,458 --> 00:45:16,456
Along with that,
I had some psychotic symptoms too.

800
00:45:16,457 --> 00:45:19,206
It's like your mind is in overdrive,

801
00:45:19,207 --> 00:45:21,289
and you spiral out of control.

802
00:45:21,290 --> 00:45:23,623
You're thinking all sorts of things,

803
00:45:23,624 --> 00:45:26,414
all sorts of things
that are completely unfounded.

804
00:45:26,415 --> 00:45:27,956
You know how you have dreams?

805
00:45:27,957 --> 00:45:31,457
But these dreams
are playing out in real life.

806
00:45:34,583 --> 00:45:36,164
Even when the house help came home,

807
00:45:36,165 --> 00:45:39,456
I'd get scared, thinking,
"She's looking at me and laughing, see."

808
00:45:39,457 --> 00:45:41,248
She'd be mopping the floor,

809
00:45:41,249 --> 00:45:44,833
and I'd think there's blood fallen there,
she's cleaning up the blood.

810
00:45:45,500 --> 00:45:47,333
This is what was going on in my head.

811
00:45:49,708 --> 00:45:50,873
I had this strange feeling

812
00:45:50,874 --> 00:45:53,206
that I'd probably
never see my parents again,

813
00:45:53,207 --> 00:45:54,833
that I might get trapped somewhere.

814
00:45:59,916 --> 00:46:03,081
People say, "I've been through hell,
I've been through hell." I saw hell.

815
00:46:03,082 --> 00:46:05,581
I saw death. I wished for death every day.

816
00:46:05,582 --> 00:46:07,748
Honey sir, are you okay now?

817
00:46:07,749 --> 00:46:10,456
Sir, we heard you were depressed, sir.

818
00:46:10,457 --> 00:46:11,748
Is this true? Honey sir?

819
00:46:11,749 --> 00:46:15,039
I let my hair grow out,
let my beard grow out.

820
00:46:15,040 --> 00:46:18,416
I wouldn't meet anyone.
I'd sleep all the time, cry all the time.

821
00:46:21,208 --> 00:46:22,958
I'd stare at the moon all night,

822
00:46:23,916 --> 00:46:25,375
look at how it's changing.

823
00:46:26,458 --> 00:46:29,164
I'd stare at it
for a really long time, really long.

824
00:46:29,165 --> 00:46:31,664
I'd feel like it's been
like six or seven hours,

825
00:46:31,665 --> 00:46:33,708
and only 15 minutes would've passed.

826
00:46:34,208 --> 00:46:35,998
My day just wouldn't get over.

827
00:46:35,999 --> 00:46:38,083
I just couldn't understand what to do.

828
00:46:38,791 --> 00:46:41,291
Locked up in a room, I wouldn't come out.

829
00:46:42,250 --> 00:46:45,000
I kept feeling like
someone's going to die now.

830
00:46:46,291 --> 00:46:47,706
There's prayers being held at home.

831
00:46:47,707 --> 00:46:49,873
Now, someone's gonna die.
Someone's gonna die now.

832
00:46:49,874 --> 00:46:53,248
I'd wait and see, "Who's gonna die?
I'd keep watching, "Who's dead?"

833
00:46:53,249 --> 00:46:55,206
I'd go and look in all the rooms,
"Who's dead?"

834
00:46:55,207 --> 00:46:56,708
Then I'd see nobody's dead.

835
00:46:57,208 --> 00:46:58,998
Then I'd think,
"Maybe it's me who's gonna die,

836
00:46:58,999 --> 00:47:00,375
that's why they're all praying."

837
00:47:00,875 --> 00:47:02,416
"Maybe I'm gonna die today."

838
00:47:08,958 --> 00:47:10,331
I know it gets really boring

839
00:47:10,332 --> 00:47:12,414
that I keep talking about this
over and over again.

840
00:47:12,415 --> 00:47:16,039
I just want to tell you, "Fuckers,
you have no idea what it's like."

841
00:47:16,040 --> 00:47:18,373
It's a motherfucker of a disease.

842
00:47:18,374 --> 00:47:19,748
If your liver or kidney fails,

843
00:47:19,749 --> 00:47:22,081
one of your brothers
can give you his kidney.

844
00:47:22,082 --> 00:47:24,831
If he's not ready,
you can get a kidney from the market.

845
00:47:24,832 --> 00:47:27,333
If your mind is fucked,
who will give you theirs?

846
00:47:28,000 --> 00:47:29,873
Where will you get one?
How can it be fixed?

847
00:47:29,874 --> 00:47:32,581
I used to think,
"Will I ever be okay again?"

848
00:47:32,582 --> 00:47:33,623
At that time,

849
00:47:33,624 --> 00:47:37,331
I would constantly keep thinking,
"He's low. Make him happy."

850
00:47:37,332 --> 00:47:39,789
"Do something. Do something silly."

851
00:47:39,790 --> 00:47:41,706
"Talk memories, childhood."

852
00:47:41,707 --> 00:47:43,956
"Get something that he really likes."

853
00:47:43,957 --> 00:47:47,206
Now, when I'm telling you all of this,

854
00:47:47,207 --> 00:47:49,206
I actually feel very stupid

855
00:47:49,207 --> 00:47:52,706
because I'm more educated
about the illness now, you know?

856
00:47:52,707 --> 00:47:54,414
We met really good doctors,

857
00:47:54,415 --> 00:47:57,958
{\an8}and they really helped us
and they really educated us.

858
00:48:00,458 --> 00:48:03,206
Everyone at home
is aware of this now.

859
00:48:03,207 --> 00:48:06,123
They know about mental health problems
because they've seen it now.

860
00:48:06,124 --> 00:48:07,206
They've seen me.

861
00:48:07,207 --> 00:48:09,623
I was reduced to nothing in front of them.

862
00:48:09,624 --> 00:48:11,748
Now, they understand
what this illness is about.

863
00:48:11,749 --> 00:48:13,916
They used to walk around
with stacks of files for me,

864
00:48:14,500 --> 00:48:16,081
my mother, my sister, my wife,

865
00:48:16,082 --> 00:48:18,625
from this doctor
to that doctor to this doctor.

866
00:48:21,333 --> 00:48:25,748
He came and told us himself,
"I need your help. Get a doctor." He--

867
00:48:25,749 --> 00:48:27,706
He said, "I don't understand
what is happening--"

868
00:48:27,707 --> 00:48:29,539
"I don't understand
what is happening to me."

869
00:48:29,540 --> 00:48:31,291
"I really need-- I want a doctor."

870
00:48:32,000 --> 00:48:36,581
The day he accepted that,
"These are my symptoms,

871
00:48:36,582 --> 00:48:40,164
these are my thoughts,
I have to work on them,"

872
00:48:40,165 --> 00:48:44,956
that day was actually, you know,
when we saw improvement in his health.

873
00:48:44,957 --> 00:48:49,041
So, that took us a long time
to reach there, to that point.

874
00:48:51,041 --> 00:48:52,041
More than a year?

875
00:48:52,958 --> 00:48:55,414
Yeah. More than a year.

876
00:48:55,415 --> 00:48:57,916
{\an8}<i>♪ Yo Yo Honey Singh! ♪</i>

877
00:48:58,708 --> 00:49:03,831
{\an8}I still remember, when in 2016,
<i>Bhaiya's</i> health got a little better,

878
00:49:03,832 --> 00:49:06,664
and the first award ceremony he attended,

879
00:49:06,665 --> 00:49:08,873
he was sitting
right next to Shah Rukh Khan sir

880
00:49:08,874 --> 00:49:12,081
so that the media should know
that nothing happened.

881
00:49:12,082 --> 00:49:14,500
And he was really nice to <i>Bhaiya</i>.

882
00:49:16,333 --> 00:49:23,164
2016, '17, by the time it was 2018,
<i>Bhaiya</i> started getting better.

883
00:49:23,165 --> 00:49:26,456
And then he started talking about work.

884
00:49:26,457 --> 00:49:28,539
He was still on his medication.

885
00:49:28,540 --> 00:49:30,623
He knew he had gained weight.

886
00:49:30,624 --> 00:49:34,583
And still, he would carry that weight
with a lot of grace.

887
00:49:36,041 --> 00:49:40,875
Around that time, because of "Makhna,"
there was pressure on him to go to Cuba.

888
00:49:41,958 --> 00:49:44,164
{\an8}Yo, yo, yo, it's your boy,
Yo Yo Honey Singh.

889
00:49:44,165 --> 00:49:46,998
Singsta's here, TDO is there,
Nidhi is there.

890
00:49:46,999 --> 00:49:48,500
My wife is there.

891
00:49:51,208 --> 00:49:53,625
{\an8}We got a lot of criticism for his looks.

892
00:49:54,333 --> 00:49:57,414
His long hair. His face looks bloated.

893
00:49:57,415 --> 00:49:58,831
His thought process was like,

894
00:49:58,832 --> 00:50:02,456
"I don't think my fans, my people,
will accept me the way I look."

895
00:50:02,457 --> 00:50:04,373
So, he started thinking on the lines of,

896
00:50:04,374 --> 00:50:07,789
"Now I'm going to compose music
and give songs to--"

897
00:50:07,790 --> 00:50:10,790
I was like, "No! They want to see you!"

898
00:50:11,916 --> 00:50:14,873
Even our family's
spiritual Guru, Acharyaji,

899
00:50:14,874 --> 00:50:17,789
he motivated <i>Bhai</i> quite a lot back then.

900
00:50:17,790 --> 00:50:20,748
{\an8}Things changed.
The weight started coming down.

901
00:50:20,749 --> 00:50:22,623
{\an8}We saw him getting better.

902
00:50:22,624 --> 00:50:27,541
{\an8}We saw that confidence back,
that smile on his face.

903
00:50:28,541 --> 00:50:30,331
So, that's where we are now.

904
00:50:30,332 --> 00:50:34,289
He's fit. He's healthy.
Doctors have given him a routine.

905
00:50:34,290 --> 00:50:38,414
But for him to follow his routine
is-- is very important.

906
00:50:38,415 --> 00:50:39,456
And his sleep.

907
00:50:39,457 --> 00:50:43,123
His sleep shouldn't be disturbed,
and he shouldn't miss his dose.

908
00:50:43,124 --> 00:50:47,789
If we are going to perform somewhere,
we arrive in that city a day in advance.

909
00:50:47,790 --> 00:50:50,289
We make sure we sleep properly.
We rest properly.

910
00:50:50,290 --> 00:50:52,456
We wake up the next day at our own pace.

911
00:50:52,457 --> 00:50:54,164
We do the shows. We sleep again.

912
00:50:54,165 --> 00:50:55,456
The next day, we wake up

913
00:50:55,457 --> 00:50:57,664
and catch the night flight
to another city.

914
00:50:57,665 --> 00:51:00,956
It doesn't matter
if he gets free by 2:00 or 3:00 a.m.,

915
00:51:00,957 --> 00:51:02,123
I make sure I talk to him.

916
00:51:02,124 --> 00:51:04,998
When has he woken up? Has he eaten or not?

917
00:51:04,999 --> 00:51:06,581
Is he relaxed or not?

918
00:51:06,582 --> 00:51:08,039
So when he works too much,

919
00:51:08,040 --> 00:51:10,664
I remind him that he needs
to take a break in the middle.

920
00:51:10,665 --> 00:51:12,498
Those two years
when I didn't have any work,

921
00:51:12,499 --> 00:51:14,123
it was a horrible time for me.

922
00:51:14,124 --> 00:51:15,914
I mean, a young man is sitting at home

923
00:51:15,915 --> 00:51:18,789
and just sleeping
till 12:30 in the afternoon,

924
00:51:18,790 --> 00:51:21,164
and his father's going to work,
and I'm just watching.

925
00:51:21,165 --> 00:51:22,873
I mean, whenever our eyes would meet,

926
00:51:22,874 --> 00:51:26,000
I would feel ashamed of myself
that I'm not earning

927
00:51:27,000 --> 00:51:29,124
and my father is still working at his age.

928
00:51:49,208 --> 00:51:51,831
My parents have really done a lot for me.

929
00:51:51,832 --> 00:51:54,666
And I haven't really been able
to do anything for them.

930
00:51:57,041 --> 00:52:00,873
Now they do nothing but wait for me.
"When will he come? When will he come?"

931
00:52:00,874 --> 00:52:02,541
And I can't even sit with them.

932
00:52:07,000 --> 00:52:10,958
And when I was at home, I was like
a fucking dead body, a fucking corpse.

933
00:52:16,791 --> 00:52:19,958
They've seen me at my worst.
I've been to hell and back.

934
00:52:27,875 --> 00:52:31,125
So, now, I'm mindful of the fact
that no matter how busy I get,

935
00:52:31,958 --> 00:52:33,583
I still look after them.

936
00:52:35,333 --> 00:52:36,875
All I want to say is that

937
00:52:37,875 --> 00:52:39,956
whoever's watching this documentary,

938
00:52:39,957 --> 00:52:42,208
just take care of your parents,
that's all.

939
00:52:42,750 --> 00:52:45,208
Because once they are gone,
they won't come back.

940
00:52:57,750 --> 00:53:00,125
So, this is, uh,
all the medication I take.

941
00:53:00,625 --> 00:53:02,706
Mummy makes a pouch for me.

942
00:53:02,707 --> 00:53:05,125
I mean, I can do it myself,
I'm a grown-up guy.

943
00:53:06,625 --> 00:53:08,625
Look, Mummy makes the whole dose for me.

944
00:53:11,541 --> 00:53:13,206
This is my whole dose, all cut up.

945
00:53:13,207 --> 00:53:16,581
This much of this, three pills of this,
two pills of that, and one pill of this.

946
00:53:16,582 --> 00:53:18,539
This is one time?
This is one day's dose?

947
00:53:18,540 --> 00:53:19,750
One day's dose.

948
00:53:21,916 --> 00:53:25,914
This medication starts taking effect
around an hour and a half after I take it,

949
00:53:25,915 --> 00:53:27,373
and I start to feel sleepy.

950
00:53:27,374 --> 00:53:29,123
I'm feeling very "up" right now,

951
00:53:29,124 --> 00:53:32,331
{\an8}and if I don't take the medication,
then I won't be able to fall asleep.

952
00:53:32,332 --> 00:53:36,039
{\an8}And if I don't sleep, then the next day,
I won't be able to function properly

953
00:53:36,040 --> 00:53:37,708
{\an8}and something could definitely go wrong.

954
00:53:51,166 --> 00:53:55,498
You know, in life,
I never wanted to lose control of myself.

955
00:53:55,499 --> 00:53:58,164
The one thing
I've been trying to tell you is that

956
00:53:58,165 --> 00:54:00,081
my mind being out of my control

957
00:54:00,082 --> 00:54:01,998
was the one thing
I never wanted to happen.

958
00:54:01,999 --> 00:54:03,706
And that's exactly what happened to me.

959
00:54:03,707 --> 00:54:06,414
I fell sick,
and my mind was not in my control.

960
00:54:06,415 --> 00:54:09,373
It takes a lot of effort
to keep things in balance for me.

961
00:54:09,374 --> 00:54:10,956
So, I don't wanna play with that,

962
00:54:10,957 --> 00:54:14,664
with drugs, alcohol, too much work,

963
00:54:14,665 --> 00:54:17,748
or not enough sleep, too much exertion.

964
00:54:17,749 --> 00:54:19,248
I don't wanna risk it again.

965
00:54:19,249 --> 00:54:22,000
Because I don't want that thing
back again in my life.

966
00:55:20,791 --> 00:55:22,956
{\an8}I make a lot of plans for myself.

967
00:55:22,957 --> 00:55:25,539
I try to design and shape my own career.

968
00:55:25,540 --> 00:55:27,664
My guru, Acharyaji, always says,

969
00:55:27,665 --> 00:55:30,498
"You're God's child.
What you think <i>will</i> happen."

970
00:55:30,499 --> 00:55:31,414
And it does happen.

971
00:55:31,415 --> 00:55:35,041
If I plan four big things for myself,
14 things happen.

972
00:55:35,541 --> 00:55:36,541
And they come to me.

973
00:55:37,541 --> 00:55:40,583
I've been sent a song by Mr. Salman Khan.

974
00:55:41,166 --> 00:55:44,039
His song has been lying ready,
and he's shooting it in a couple of days.

975
00:55:44,040 --> 00:55:47,039
I'm getting this opportunity.
All I have to do is sing it.

976
00:55:47,040 --> 00:55:48,331
I just have to sing it.

977
00:55:48,332 --> 00:55:51,123
He also said, "If you want
to try rapping on this, you can."

978
00:55:51,124 --> 00:55:53,999
I'll see if I can come up with something,
then I'll probably rap on it.

979
00:56:18,541 --> 00:56:20,250
I think we'll have to add a rap to this.

980
00:56:21,541 --> 00:56:23,333
Sir, where's the chorus in this song?

981
00:56:23,833 --> 00:56:25,581
That's what I was thinking.
There's no chorus.

982
00:56:25,582 --> 00:56:28,750
- It's one line after another.
- You sing the chorus. We'll make it.

983
00:56:30,958 --> 00:56:33,998
We can do something
in a cartoon style. Something from--

984
00:56:33,999 --> 00:56:37,083
We can of course say,
"I'm in love with a girl."

985
00:56:37,583 --> 00:56:39,581
"I'm actually a brave boy,
but I get a bit scared."

986
00:56:39,582 --> 00:56:42,248
{\an8} "Someone please tell her this.
Explain this to her."

987
00:56:42,249 --> 00:56:44,873
{\an8}"I'm her Nobita, she's my Shizuka.
I want to meet her."

988
00:56:44,874 --> 00:56:45,916
"I don't know."

989
00:56:47,125 --> 00:56:48,707
- "I don't know."
- "I don't know."

990
00:56:53,458 --> 00:56:59,125
<i>♪ I'm your Nobita, you're my Shizuka
I've just got to meet you, I don't know ♪</i>

991
00:57:00,958 --> 00:57:03,750
Make a beat for it
and bounce it, we'll write it outside.

992
00:57:08,791 --> 00:57:11,708
Yeah, this could be
the start for the song.

993
00:57:22,000 --> 00:57:23,249
How will it sound?

994
00:57:36,291 --> 00:57:39,123
{\an8}For <i>Bhaijaan,</i> in Hyderabad,
I had this thought.

995
00:57:39,124 --> 00:57:43,248
And so I gave it to, uh, Honey,
and he went to the studio.

996
00:57:43,249 --> 00:57:45,206
In half an hour, he finished a rap.

997
00:57:45,207 --> 00:57:47,998
And then, I requested Honey to come

998
00:57:47,999 --> 00:57:50,208
and to be in this song with us.

999
00:57:50,791 --> 00:57:54,374
It's a really cool song for kids.

1000
00:57:56,708 --> 00:57:58,248
Lots of things are happening.

1001
00:57:58,249 --> 00:58:01,373
{\an8}A lot of songs are being made,
a lot of shoots are happening.

1002
00:58:01,374 --> 00:58:04,500
{\an8}I'm doing shows back to back
because I'd stopped doing those.

1003
00:58:05,083 --> 00:58:08,123
And I do a lot
of wedding performances now.

1004
00:58:08,124 --> 00:58:12,539
The demand for those has gone up so much
that we aren't able to sort out our dates.

1005
00:58:12,540 --> 00:58:14,957
What dates can we give
and what dates can we not?

1006
00:58:18,166 --> 00:58:21,789
{\an8}<i>Thank God he started working out
and let the negativity go.</i>

1007
00:58:21,790 --> 00:58:24,125
{\an8}<i>And he's back.</i>

1008
00:58:25,708 --> 00:58:28,998
We thought life is good.
Everything is sorted now.

1009
00:58:28,999 --> 00:58:31,664
And he's working,
he's happy, he's feeling okay.

1010
00:58:31,665 --> 00:58:35,039
So even I resumed my work,
and we all got busy.

1011
00:58:35,040 --> 00:58:40,081
When I actually decided,
"Okay, now things are fine," you know,

1012
00:58:40,082 --> 00:58:43,081
everyone is now sorted,
Mom, Dad, my brother,

1013
00:58:43,082 --> 00:58:44,789
then a major setback happened.

1014
00:58:44,790 --> 00:58:48,998
<i>Yo Yo Honey Singh
has been accused of domestic violence.</i>

1015
00:58:48,999 --> 00:58:51,331
<i>Honey Singh's wife, Shalini Talwar,</i>

1016
00:58:51,332 --> 00:58:55,164
<i>has moved a plea
in Delhi's Tis Hazari Court.</i>

1017
00:58:55,165 --> 00:58:57,623
I just want to tell everybody
that today was my hearing.

1018
00:58:57,624 --> 00:58:59,914
I couldn't come to the last hearing
because I was sick.

1019
00:58:59,915 --> 00:59:03,414
And the judge has provided some
excellent counselling for Shalini and me.

1020
00:59:03,415 --> 00:59:05,664
I trust the judiciary completely.

1021
00:59:05,665 --> 00:59:07,914
Whatever happens,
I know will be for the best.

1022
00:59:07,915 --> 00:59:11,581
We just heard Shalini Singh
has not just accused Honey Singh

1023
00:59:11,582 --> 00:59:13,248
but also his mother, father,

1024
00:59:13,249 --> 00:59:16,623
as well as his younger sister
of all sorts of exploitation.

1025
00:59:16,624 --> 00:59:18,581
Who all do we prove things to?

1026
00:59:18,582 --> 00:59:19,831
No one will believe us

1027
00:59:19,832 --> 00:59:23,664
because the world outside
was a very difficult place

1028
00:59:23,665 --> 00:59:25,666
with all the controversies
that were happening.

1029
00:59:26,250 --> 00:59:28,665
So, yeah, it was a difficult time.

1030
00:59:34,875 --> 00:59:37,914
<i>Honey Singh's love story
that started in school</i>

1031
00:59:37,915 --> 00:59:39,581
<i>has now come to an end.</i>

1032
00:59:39,582 --> 00:59:42,039
<i>There has been
an out-of-court settlement.</i>

1033
00:59:42,040 --> 00:59:44,581
<i>Shalini Talwar has dropped all charges,</i>

1034
00:59:44,582 --> 00:59:47,583
<i>and the two of them
are now legally divorced.</i>

1035
00:59:48,916 --> 00:59:51,373
{\an8}Do you want to talk
a bit about the divorce, Honey?

1036
00:59:51,374 --> 00:59:53,208
{\an8}You want to tell me what happened?

1037
00:59:53,791 --> 00:59:57,414
We've both signed an MoU,
so we can't talk about it.

1038
00:59:57,415 --> 01:00:00,208
But I wish her all the best in her life.

1039
01:00:01,041 --> 01:00:03,208
I wish she has a great life ahead.

1040
01:00:03,916 --> 01:00:06,498
It's like I said before, right?
It's all a circle.

1041
01:00:06,499 --> 01:00:08,500
Life's right here within this circle.

1042
01:00:09,541 --> 01:00:12,206
This circle, it keeps turning,
keeps coming back

1043
01:00:12,207 --> 01:00:13,873
and everything finds balance.

1044
01:00:13,874 --> 01:00:15,456
You keep reaping what you sow.

1045
01:00:15,457 --> 01:00:18,166
Like the old saying,
"What goes around comes around."

1046
01:00:19,041 --> 01:00:20,958
And I believe in this.

1047
01:00:48,916 --> 01:00:51,956
<i>Since 2012,
we've had one problem after the other.</i>

1048
01:00:51,957 --> 01:00:55,458
<i>So, as a family,
we haven't really been able to enjoy life.</i>

1049
01:00:56,125 --> 01:00:57,623
<i>Now,</i> Bhai's <i>health is better.</i>

1050
01:00:57,624 --> 01:01:00,291
<i>And all the struggles
and setbacks he's had,</i>

1051
01:01:01,041 --> 01:01:02,291
<i>now he's coming back.</i>

1052
01:01:03,416 --> 01:01:05,248
<i>I think "Designer"
is getting launched tomorrow.</i>

1053
01:01:05,249 --> 01:01:07,456
{\an8}<i>And soon after that,
there's a collaboration planned</i>

1054
01:01:07,457 --> 01:01:09,789
{\an8}<i>with Lil Pump, called "Casanova."</i>

1055
01:01:09,790 --> 01:01:13,375
{\an8}<i>So, the pressure on him to give
a hit song like before is very high.</i>

1056
01:01:14,416 --> 01:01:16,625
<i>We are also a little stressed,
but we are praying.</i>

1057
01:01:19,875 --> 01:01:22,081
{\an8}Are you ready
for what happens with you now?

1058
01:01:22,082 --> 01:01:24,123
{\an8}Sir, I was born ready
for everything, okay?

1059
01:01:24,124 --> 01:01:26,248
I'm ready for hits. I'm ready for flops.

1060
01:01:26,249 --> 01:01:28,998
I'm ready for more success.
I'm ready for more failure.

1061
01:01:28,999 --> 01:01:32,289
{\an8}<i>Yo, yo, it's your boy, Yo Honey Singh.
A big shoutout to all my fans.</i>

1062
01:01:32,290 --> 01:01:34,248
{\an8}<i>My latest song
is out there for all of you.</i>

1063
01:01:34,249 --> 01:01:36,373
{\an8}<i>You can now listen
to my latest song, "Designer."</i>

1064
01:01:36,374 --> 01:01:38,789
{\an8}<i>Download my new song on Apple Music,</i>

1065
01:01:38,790 --> 01:01:41,498
{\an8}<i>on Wynk music app,
and on the Hungama Music app.</i>

1066
01:01:41,499 --> 01:01:43,289
<i>Let the</i> hungama <i>begin.</i>

1067
01:01:43,290 --> 01:01:45,665
We were all waiting for this. Finally.

1068
01:02:01,166 --> 01:02:06,539
Create your own reels on my song,
"Designer," using #designer.

1069
01:02:06,540 --> 01:02:08,624
We will share the best one on Instagram.

1070
01:02:11,958 --> 01:02:14,248
{\an8}This sound will go everywhere.

1071
01:02:14,249 --> 01:02:15,831
{\an8}Sounding good already.

1072
01:02:15,832 --> 01:02:17,749
<i>Baila, baila, baila,</i> baby!

1073
01:02:25,625 --> 01:02:26,873
<i>What's up, guys? It's Lil Pump.</i>

1074
01:02:26,874 --> 01:02:29,248
<i>I'm coming to Dubai
to shoot the biggest song ever</i>

1075
01:02:29,249 --> 01:02:31,539
<i>with Yo Yo Honey Singh and DJ Shadow.</i>

1076
01:02:31,540 --> 01:02:33,040
<i>We're making history. Shit!</i>

1077
01:02:43,958 --> 01:02:47,873
<i>The songs that he's made,
these latest ones, some were really good,</i>

1078
01:02:47,874 --> 01:02:50,414
<i>but some were
not really like his old-school style.</i>

1079
01:02:50,415 --> 01:02:52,956
He's making new songs,
but I'm not really liking them.

1080
01:02:52,957 --> 01:02:56,081
- I still really like his old songs.
- I'm a little disappointed by him.

1081
01:02:56,082 --> 01:02:57,748
"Dope Shope" had a good vibe.

1082
01:02:57,749 --> 01:03:00,623
Something like that
will come out soon, it'll come.

1083
01:03:00,624 --> 01:03:02,331
We're still waiting for that.

1084
01:03:02,332 --> 01:03:04,956
There was a time when the DJ
wouldn't stop playing Honey's songs.

1085
01:03:04,957 --> 01:03:06,914
Uh, bring back the old you.

1086
01:03:06,915 --> 01:03:10,706
Not exactly at the top of his game,
but he's going to get there soon.

1087
01:03:10,707 --> 01:03:12,831
I feel that
since he's climbed that ladder before,

1088
01:03:12,832 --> 01:03:16,498
since he's already done that,
he won't be able to climb that high again.

1089
01:03:16,499 --> 01:03:19,041
THE WORST SONG
OF HONEY SINGH'S LIFE AND INDIA!

1090
01:03:22,166 --> 01:03:25,166
SOUNDS LIKE A KID COMPOSED IT

1091
01:04:05,583 --> 01:04:08,914
My audience from ten years ago
were all young back then.

1092
01:04:08,915 --> 01:04:13,039
When I wrote songs about alcohol,
"Let's smoke up," and all of that,

1093
01:04:13,040 --> 01:04:14,623
they used to enjoy it.

1094
01:04:14,624 --> 01:04:16,123
Now, they're all married.

1095
01:04:16,124 --> 01:04:17,998
If I make songs like "Manali Trance,"

1096
01:04:17,999 --> 01:04:20,164
they're not gonna
let their kids listen to it.

1097
01:04:20,165 --> 01:04:22,414
I don't wanna do all that gangsta stuff.

1098
01:04:22,415 --> 01:04:25,123
When I was younger, I sang songs
like "Panga" and all of those.

1099
01:04:25,124 --> 01:04:27,373
But now that's the only thing
people expect from me.

1100
01:04:27,374 --> 01:04:29,416
So, I just don't know what I should do.

1101
01:04:30,416 --> 01:04:33,123
I don't feel like it.
I don't know. I'll see.

1102
01:04:33,124 --> 01:04:36,081
If this whole thing doesn't work,
then I'll write and sing those songs,

1103
01:04:36,082 --> 01:04:38,083
if that's all they wanna hear from me.

1104
01:04:40,000 --> 01:04:42,123
<i>I think he has
a very good understanding</i>

1105
01:04:42,124 --> 01:04:44,164
<i>that he has to change with time.</i>

1106
01:04:44,165 --> 01:04:47,833
<i>And in all these years,
we have seen that change in him.</i>

1107
01:04:49,416 --> 01:04:52,706
He's had time to kinda reflect on it
and do all those things.

1108
01:04:52,707 --> 01:04:55,498
So maybe there'll be an understanding
or a shift in all that stuff.

1109
01:04:55,499 --> 01:04:57,748
But, to me, I think
it's part of an artist's journey.

1110
01:04:57,749 --> 01:05:01,498
{\an8}It's taking everything that's going on
around him in the community and society,

1111
01:05:01,499 --> 01:05:05,206
{\an8}and how they navigate that to their music
and how they push that forward.

1112
01:05:05,207 --> 01:05:06,958
{\an8}Man, that's being an artist.

1113
01:05:15,166 --> 01:05:16,291
Hello.

1114
01:05:23,791 --> 01:05:27,125
- I'm fine.
- Good morning! Hi.

1115
01:05:29,208 --> 01:05:32,000
I'm feeling really hungry.
- Momos!

1116
01:05:33,250 --> 01:05:34,250
Manish!

1117
01:05:34,791 --> 01:05:36,831
- What are you making?
- <i>Kadai</i> chicken.

1118
01:05:36,832 --> 01:05:38,915
You make chicken in a <i>kadai,</i>
it's <i>kadai</i> chicken.

1119
01:05:40,208 --> 01:05:42,250
- Want some?
- Make me some green juice.

1120
01:05:43,041 --> 01:05:44,041
Just taste this.

1121
01:05:44,916 --> 01:05:47,375
No, no, you have it. Not now. Not now.

1122
01:05:48,291 --> 01:05:51,373
No, Papa, I won't have this.
Manish, make me some green juice.

1123
01:05:51,374 --> 01:05:52,625
This is new.

1124
01:05:54,666 --> 01:05:55,666
Somebody's changed.

1125
01:05:56,625 --> 01:05:59,623
- Did you have anything?
- He's making me a green juice.

1126
01:05:59,624 --> 01:06:01,831
Green juice? You don't want momos?

1127
01:06:01,832 --> 01:06:03,498
- No, I don't feel like it.
- Why?

1128
01:06:03,499 --> 01:06:05,166
- I'll have some later.
- Okay.

1129
01:06:08,791 --> 01:06:11,041
- Get me some water, Manish.
- What?

1130
01:06:12,666 --> 01:06:13,790
Get him some water.

1131
01:06:30,791 --> 01:06:32,333
- Was it nice?
- Listen, uh...

1132
01:06:32,875 --> 01:06:34,831
Give me just two pieces of that chicken.

1133
01:06:34,832 --> 01:06:37,000
- Get the chicken.
- The chicken that Papa's made.

1134
01:06:38,375 --> 01:06:40,416
This would've been amazing with a <i>roti</i>.

1135
01:06:45,833 --> 01:06:47,581
Man, this is delicious.

1136
01:06:47,582 --> 01:06:51,831
He's had a wish for a while
that he wants to adopt a child.

1137
01:06:51,832 --> 01:06:53,081
A daughter.

1138
01:06:53,082 --> 01:06:55,414
And he talks to me about it all the time.

1139
01:06:55,415 --> 01:06:58,458
And I'm like,
"Yeah, okay, let's adopt one."

1140
01:07:00,666 --> 01:07:02,789
The date
hasn't been announced yet?

1141
01:07:02,790 --> 01:07:06,000
Yeah, because I have a show
on the 19th, so...

1142
01:07:06,583 --> 01:07:09,623
It's in India. That means I'll have
to come back to India by the 17th.

1143
01:07:09,624 --> 01:07:11,373
I'm going to America now, right?

1144
01:07:11,374 --> 01:07:13,708
We have a corporate show on the 10th.

1145
01:07:14,416 --> 01:07:18,791
So, it's gonna be 75% foreigners
and 25% Indians.

1146
01:07:22,958 --> 01:07:24,333
Okay, okay. Okay, bye.

1147
01:07:26,750 --> 01:07:28,875
Oh-ho-ho, it's raining heavily.

1148
01:07:29,458 --> 01:07:30,458
Bye.

1149
01:07:47,541 --> 01:07:50,666
So, we flew into Chicago
and the show was the next day.

1150
01:07:51,916 --> 01:07:54,414
As we were exiting the airport,
I saw a signboard.

1151
01:07:54,415 --> 01:07:56,041
A signboard that said "Chicago Loop."

1152
01:07:57,375 --> 01:07:59,666
Something clicked for me.
I was like, "Fuck, loop?"

1153
01:08:00,750 --> 01:08:05,206
I started thinking which city was I in
when I had to leave the SLAM Tour?

1154
01:08:05,207 --> 01:08:06,916
I was like, "Fuck, it was Chicago!"

1155
01:08:07,666 --> 01:08:08,791
We go to the hotel, sir.

1156
01:08:09,750 --> 01:08:11,414
I told Indo,
"Bro, this is the same hotel."

1157
01:08:11,415 --> 01:08:14,039
He said, "What same hotel?
We're coming here for the first time."

1158
01:08:14,040 --> 01:08:16,081
I said, "Remember
when we came here nine years ago,

1159
01:08:16,082 --> 01:08:17,831
when all that shit went down?"

1160
01:08:17,832 --> 01:08:19,664
You won't believe it,
but when I went inside,

1161
01:08:19,665 --> 01:08:21,164
my suite was the same as well.

1162
01:08:21,165 --> 01:08:22,664
The same TV was hanging there.

1163
01:08:22,665 --> 01:08:26,914
I could see the spot where I made
a Skype call to my mother and sister,

1164
01:08:26,915 --> 01:08:29,081
crying, saying that,
"I don't want to do this show."

1165
01:08:29,082 --> 01:08:32,039
I felt like I'd suddenly gone
nine years back in time.

1166
01:08:32,040 --> 01:08:35,414
I said, "No.
The man up there is testing me."

1167
01:08:35,415 --> 01:08:37,623
I woke up the next day,
everything was normal.

1168
01:08:37,624 --> 01:08:39,914
It was the day of the show.
I woke up at 3:00 p.m.

1169
01:08:39,915 --> 01:08:42,414
But as we got
closer and closer to showtime,

1170
01:08:42,415 --> 01:08:45,123
I started getting anxiety all over again.

1171
01:08:45,124 --> 01:08:48,956
I started getting bad thoughts again,
that today is the day.

1172
01:08:48,957 --> 01:08:51,916
Back then, I had escaped death,
but today, I'm going to die for sure.

1173
01:08:52,875 --> 01:08:55,041
It had to happen in Chicago.

1174
01:08:55,833 --> 01:08:56,789
I was trimming my beard,

1175
01:08:56,790 --> 01:08:59,833
and I kept getting flashbacks
of when I was shaving my head.

1176
01:09:00,708 --> 01:09:04,123
My hand kept going up,
"Should I shave my head again today?"

1177
01:09:04,124 --> 01:09:05,873
I couldn't figure out what I needed to do.

1178
01:09:05,874 --> 01:09:08,666
I sat in my car,
and I called my doctor straight away.

1179
01:09:09,375 --> 01:09:11,375
My doctor is really my angel.

1180
01:09:12,208 --> 01:09:14,581
He said, "What'll happen?
You messed up nine years ago."

1181
01:09:14,582 --> 01:09:17,164
"You can mess up today too.
That's the worst you can do."

1182
01:09:17,165 --> 01:09:19,331
"Just go mess up the show.
Don't worry about it."

1183
01:09:19,332 --> 01:09:20,581
"Don't mess your health up."

1184
01:09:20,582 --> 01:09:22,539
"Mess the show up if you have to.
That's fine."

1185
01:09:22,540 --> 01:09:25,664
I felt a bit lighter then.
I thought, "That right, what'll happen?"

1186
01:09:25,665 --> 01:09:27,914
"The show will be ruined
or I won't be able to perform."

1187
01:09:27,915 --> 01:09:30,123
"I'm just feeling anxious.
I'm just getting scared."

1188
01:09:30,124 --> 01:09:31,831
While I was performing the show,

1189
01:09:31,832 --> 01:09:34,664
I didn't make eye contact
with anyone at all.

1190
01:09:34,665 --> 01:09:36,498
No matter how many people
I'm performing for,

1191
01:09:36,499 --> 01:09:39,039
whether it's 2,000 people
or 20,000 people,

1192
01:09:39,040 --> 01:09:41,206
I always make eye contact with everyone.

1193
01:09:41,207 --> 01:09:44,414
Because that's what gives me energy,
that's the thing that gives me strength,

1194
01:09:44,415 --> 01:09:46,750
looking into the eyes of my fans.

1195
01:09:47,458 --> 01:09:49,873
I kept asking, "How much time is left?
How much time is left?"

1196
01:09:49,874 --> 01:09:52,539
Finally, they said, "Time's up. Let's go."
We left from there.

1197
01:09:52,540 --> 01:09:55,125
On our way back,
when I was in the car, I relaxed.

1198
01:09:56,291 --> 01:09:57,958
I was like, "That's all it was."

1199
01:09:59,208 --> 01:10:00,498
But I did say one thing on stage.

1200
01:10:00,499 --> 01:10:03,706
I left this show in half
because I got sick.

1201
01:10:03,707 --> 01:10:06,164
Because of you people, I came back.

1202
01:10:06,165 --> 01:10:08,456
You brought me back!

1203
01:10:08,457 --> 01:10:11,206
This was the city where I lost everything,

1204
01:10:11,207 --> 01:10:13,500
and I came back here
and completed the loop.

1205
01:10:14,208 --> 01:10:15,706
I took my meds and went to bed.

1206
01:10:15,707 --> 01:10:19,166
I woke up the next day happy
and did the rest of the America tour.

1207
01:10:52,416 --> 01:10:54,706
We plan
a lot of things in our lives,

1208
01:10:54,707 --> 01:10:57,373
but the Almighty decides
what will happen and when.

1209
01:10:57,374 --> 01:11:00,833
And whatever it may be,
it'll come to you when the time is right.

1210
01:11:01,458 --> 01:11:03,914
It'll only come into your life
when the time is right.

1211
01:11:03,915 --> 01:11:05,748
It has a fixed time period,

1212
01:11:05,749 --> 01:11:07,833
and it'll leave your life too
when it has to.

1213
01:11:08,875 --> 01:11:11,206
A person can be proud
and think to themselves,

1214
01:11:11,207 --> 01:11:13,373
"Oh, see, I've achieved this,
I've achieved that."

1215
01:11:13,374 --> 01:11:16,958
"I've built this empire.
I've got a bungalow, a mansion, a car."

1216
01:11:17,666 --> 01:11:19,998
When God decides, it'll happen.

1217
01:11:19,999 --> 01:11:22,583
And if He decides it won't,
it won't happen.

1218
01:11:23,666 --> 01:11:26,748
Whatever projects, songs,
or films that happen,

1219
01:11:26,749 --> 01:11:28,539
documentaries that happen,

1220
01:11:28,540 --> 01:11:31,291
have already been written in my story
by the Almighty.

1221
01:11:32,083 --> 01:11:35,458
We're just here... enjoying the ride.

1222
01:11:40,166 --> 01:11:43,956
After so much, I think
<i>Bhaiya</i> also believes the same thing now.

1223
01:11:43,957 --> 01:11:46,291
"We'll handle it. We'll fix it."

1224
01:11:48,208 --> 01:11:49,500
The worry will never go.

1225
01:11:50,500 --> 01:11:51,500
I don't know why.

1226
01:11:52,208 --> 01:11:54,541
What I know is that he's-- he's a fighter.

1227
01:11:55,458 --> 01:11:56,914
And he will fight.

1228
01:11:56,915 --> 01:12:01,498
If he has to come back, not once,
not twice, not thrice,

1229
01:12:01,499 --> 01:12:03,664
he will come back
for the 1,000th time if he has to.

1230
01:12:03,665 --> 01:12:04,708
But he will come back.

1231
01:12:10,791 --> 01:12:13,623
Earlier when I used
to make a song, I knew this will work.

1232
01:12:13,624 --> 01:12:14,581
I used to say it.

1233
01:12:14,582 --> 01:12:16,789
Today, I have 52 songs in my bank,

1234
01:12:16,790 --> 01:12:19,248
and I can't say, "This will work"
about any of them.

1235
01:12:19,249 --> 01:12:22,708
It's not like my confidence is gone.
It's the scene that's changed.

1236
01:12:23,208 --> 01:12:25,416
No song runs for more than two weeks.

1237
01:12:26,208 --> 01:12:28,125
I need to understand this trend.

1238
01:12:28,625 --> 01:12:30,623
When I first entered the industry,

1239
01:12:30,624 --> 01:12:33,208
everyone thought,
"Where did Honey Singh come from?"

1240
01:12:33,708 --> 01:12:36,166
But I had 10 years of homework
behind me then.

1241
01:12:36,958 --> 01:12:39,250
And I've started that same homework again.

1242
01:12:42,208 --> 01:12:44,082
Make some noise!

1243
01:12:47,208 --> 01:12:50,873
If a person disappears from the scene
for seven minutes or seven days,

1244
01:12:50,874 --> 01:12:52,164
people forget about them.

1245
01:12:52,165 --> 01:12:55,456
But even after seven or eight years,
people still remember me,

1246
01:12:55,457 --> 01:12:58,581
they listen to my songs, buy my tickets,
come to watch my shows.

1247
01:12:58,582 --> 01:13:00,790
So, I just gotta keep trying, keep going.

1248
01:13:41,583 --> 01:13:43,956
Earlier you said
this is gonna be your comeback year--

1249
01:13:43,957 --> 01:13:46,081
No, no, no.
This is not the comeback.

1250
01:13:46,082 --> 01:13:48,289
That'll be fucking huge.

1251
01:13:48,290 --> 01:13:51,708
I'll do something that will make the world
go crazy all over again.

1252
01:13:54,083 --> 01:13:55,664
The first shot of Part 2

1253
01:13:55,665 --> 01:13:58,666
will be Dr. Dre and I
sitting in the studio together.

1254
01:13:59,291 --> 01:14:01,333
And it'll fucking happen!

1255
01:14:01,833 --> 01:14:07,540
Honey Singh! Honey Singh! Honey Singh!

1256
01:15:08,500 --> 01:15:11,625
{\an8}I need to turn off the speaker, cameraman.
Please step aside.

1257
01:15:12,208 --> 01:15:14,458
{\an8}This is the button that you push
to shut shop.

1258
01:15:15,166 --> 01:15:16,332
{\an8}And now it's off.
