1
00:00:06,458 --> 00:00:08,291
{\an8}This is… This is DJ Honey.
2
00:00:08,375 --> 00:00:10,625
{\an8}So tell us what was that track you played?
3
00:00:11,625 --> 00:00:13,541
{\an8}I took dialogues from Gadar.
4
00:00:13,625 --> 00:00:15,458
{\an8}- Okay.
- He's actually answering.
5
00:00:15,541 --> 00:00:16,666
{\an8}It's connected to bass.
6
00:00:17,250 --> 00:00:18,791
{\an8}And "Dooms Night" with it.
7
00:00:18,875 --> 00:00:21,416
{\an8}- I made a patriotic remix.
- Okay.
8
00:00:21,500 --> 00:00:24,083
{\an8}And here we have DJ Honey's father.
9
00:00:24,166 --> 00:00:25,875
{\an8}We've come to his house today.
10
00:00:25,958 --> 00:00:28,083
{\an8}And our channel has come to know
11
00:00:28,166 --> 00:00:32,333
{\an8}that you had thrown
all of his equipment out about a week ago.
12
00:00:32,416 --> 00:00:34,625
{\an8}- Oh, that's not true.
- It's not?
13
00:00:34,708 --> 00:00:36,625
{\an8}Our channel doesn't miss anything.
14
00:00:36,708 --> 00:00:38,291
{\an8}I'm not a musician's son.
15
00:00:38,375 --> 00:00:41,416
{\an8}I'm not a famous music director's son,
not a big singer's son.
16
00:00:41,500 --> 00:00:44,375
{\an8}I'm a normal guy who comes
from a very normal family.
17
00:00:47,500 --> 00:00:50,125
{\an8}He always used to say,
"I'm going to do something big,
18
00:00:50,208 --> 00:00:52,125
{\an8}and I will make all of you proud."
19
00:00:52,625 --> 00:00:55,291
{\an8}But I had no idea,
you know, that he's going to become
20
00:00:55,791 --> 00:00:56,875
Yo Yo Honey Singh.
21
00:00:57,375 --> 00:01:04,166
Honey Singh! Honey Singh!
Honey Singh! Honey Singh!
22
00:01:04,250 --> 00:01:06,875
When I first saw him,
I knew, "This is the guy."
23
00:01:06,958 --> 00:01:08,708
What we were listening to in that era,
24
00:01:08,791 --> 00:01:10,625
this was different from that,
this was advanced.
25
00:01:10,708 --> 00:01:12,625
Many people
have seen fame in their lives,
26
00:01:12,708 --> 00:01:14,666
many people have had popularity,
27
00:01:14,750 --> 00:01:17,041
nut no one else in this world
is like Honey Singh.
28
00:01:17,125 --> 00:01:18,291
Everybody, ready?
29
00:01:18,375 --> 00:01:21,458
He moved
the cultural gravity for Indian pop music.
30
00:01:22,708 --> 00:01:24,875
He made Punjabi music cool
in the rest of India.
31
00:01:25,958 --> 00:01:28,958
There's so many artists today
that have so much recognition
32
00:01:29,041 --> 00:01:31,208
because of the doors
Honey bhai has opened.
33
00:01:31,291 --> 00:01:33,625
He tapped into
that aspirational thing that,
34
00:01:33,708 --> 00:01:35,500
"I'm gonna be a brown guy going abroad,
35
00:01:35,583 --> 00:01:38,458
making the same videos we see
Black and white American guys doing."
36
00:01:39,500 --> 00:01:43,041
His songs were playing
at every club, every wedding.
37
00:01:43,125 --> 00:01:44,458
When a song plays at a wedding,
38
00:01:45,416 --> 00:01:47,041
that's when you know it's a hit.
39
00:01:47,125 --> 00:01:49,000
But when a song plays on a tractor,
40
00:01:49,083 --> 00:01:50,875
that's when you know you're a hit.
41
00:01:50,958 --> 00:01:54,875
Honey has got this one superb thing
which nobody else has, which is…
42
00:01:54,958 --> 00:01:57,291
♪ Yo Yo Honey Singh ♪
43
00:01:58,166 --> 00:02:01,875
There was a time Honey Singh
used to be India's most popular rapper.
44
00:02:01,958 --> 00:02:05,958
{\an8}But, suddenly, Honey Singh
distanced himself from movies and songs.
45
00:02:06,041 --> 00:02:09,416
{\an8}They should be ashamed
of the upbringing they have given him.
46
00:02:09,500 --> 00:02:12,458
{\an8}Honey Singh
is the reason why rapes take place.
47
00:02:12,541 --> 00:02:15,291
Shah Rukh Khan
slapped Honey Singh in a fit of anger.
48
00:02:15,375 --> 00:02:17,291
…Yo Yo Honey Singh
is battling drug…
49
00:02:17,375 --> 00:02:20,000
…wife has accused him
of domestic violence.
50
00:02:20,083 --> 00:02:22,166
…a figure of drama,
Yo Yo Honey Singh
51
00:02:22,250 --> 00:02:24,291
has disappeared
from the Bollywood music scene.
52
00:02:24,375 --> 00:02:27,541
- Where has he disappeared?
- He looks exhausted.
53
00:02:27,625 --> 00:02:29,583
Will he be able
to make a comeback?
54
00:02:29,666 --> 00:02:31,416
Will we see Honey Singh again?
55
00:02:31,500 --> 00:02:33,125
What happened to Honey Singh?
56
00:02:33,208 --> 00:02:35,750
Now I'll tell you
what happened nine years ago.
57
00:02:35,833 --> 00:02:38,750
No one knows what I'm about to say
in front of this camera today.
58
00:02:39,250 --> 00:02:40,250
No one knows about it.
59
00:02:40,333 --> 00:02:42,291
What the fuck!
60
00:02:56,875 --> 00:02:59,958
Oye. You see my veins popping?
Fucking hell!
61
00:03:03,166 --> 00:03:06,291
- Zack, the old days are back!
- And not going back!
62
00:03:06,375 --> 00:03:07,458
Everybody, make some…
63
00:03:07,541 --> 00:03:09,291
Let's start with "Haaye Mera Dil."
64
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:22,833
{\an8}I'm making
a comeback after seven years.
65
00:03:22,916 --> 00:03:25,041
{\an8}People had started saying,
"Honey Singh is done."
66
00:03:25,125 --> 00:03:27,458
"His songs aren't working.
He's become fat."
67
00:03:27,541 --> 00:03:30,416
"He's gone to a loony bin."
That's what I'm coming out of.
68
00:03:36,166 --> 00:03:39,041
I had to lock myself up in a room
for seven years, waiting,
69
00:03:39,125 --> 00:03:40,625
"This will happen, that will happen."
70
00:03:40,708 --> 00:03:43,625
I told myself, "Fuck this shit.
I need to get out."
71
00:03:43,708 --> 00:03:44,875
"Nothing will happen."
72
00:03:45,583 --> 00:03:46,875
That's when I came out of it.
73
00:04:14,541 --> 00:04:16,500
{\an8}Everybody, make some noise!
74
00:04:18,458 --> 00:04:21,500
{\an8}Love you, Honey paaji!
75
00:04:22,625 --> 00:04:29,625
{\an8}Honey Singh! Honey Singh! Honey Singh!
76
00:04:41,958 --> 00:04:45,166
My alarm was set for 10:00 a.m.
I've woken up at 1:00 p.m.
77
00:04:45,250 --> 00:04:48,000
In order to function,
I need at least four hours to myself
78
00:04:48,083 --> 00:04:48,958
after I wake up.
79
00:04:49,041 --> 00:04:52,000
I can't meet anyone.
I can't really talk to anyone.
80
00:04:52,083 --> 00:04:55,666
I just keep sort of fading in, slowly.
It's due to all the medication.
81
00:04:55,750 --> 00:04:58,833
Yesterday, I slept at 5:00 in the morning.
Maybe even later than that.
82
00:04:58,916 --> 00:05:00,666
The medication
is such that it knocks me out
83
00:05:00,750 --> 00:05:02,375
and puts me into very deep sleep.
84
00:05:02,458 --> 00:05:04,083
So, sleep is very important for me.
85
00:05:04,166 --> 00:05:07,041
And when I wake up,
its effects are still there.
86
00:05:09,166 --> 00:05:11,458
You know that when I was sick and at home,
87
00:05:11,541 --> 00:05:15,125
I had postponed all my shoots
so that I could work on my fitness again
88
00:05:15,208 --> 00:05:19,208
because my songs were releasing again,
I was making a gradual comeback.
89
00:05:19,291 --> 00:05:21,125
But no one wants a fat Honey Singh.
90
00:05:21,208 --> 00:05:24,333
Two, three, four, five.
91
00:05:25,666 --> 00:05:28,916
There was a time
when I had accepted that I'm too old now,
92
00:05:29,416 --> 00:05:30,625
I've become fat,
93
00:05:31,125 --> 00:05:34,416
I won't be able to achieve
the look that my fans want,
94
00:05:34,916 --> 00:05:38,583
that I should just keep making good songs
so that I can put food on the table.
95
00:05:38,666 --> 00:05:40,083
That's the best thing to do.
96
00:05:42,541 --> 00:05:45,291
My medication is high
on sodium and lithium,
97
00:05:45,375 --> 00:05:48,208
which causes water retention
and makes you put on a lot of weight.
98
00:05:48,291 --> 00:05:50,500
Luckily, my medication
has been reduced now.
99
00:05:51,041 --> 00:05:53,250
And that's why
I'm able to see some results.
100
00:05:54,833 --> 00:05:57,208
While you're on these meds,
I hope you're not drinking.
101
00:05:57,291 --> 00:05:58,916
I've almost quit drinking now.
102
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:00,750
- Really?
- Yeah, yeah, really.
103
00:06:02,250 --> 00:06:07,041
I used to smoke up all the time,
20 joints, 12 joints, 15 joints a day.
104
00:06:07,125 --> 00:06:09,500
So, I've kept things in balance
with a lot of difficulty.
105
00:06:09,583 --> 00:06:12,250
I don't wanna play with that.
I don't wanna risk it again.
106
00:06:12,333 --> 00:06:14,791
'Cause I don't want that thing
back in my life again.
107
00:06:18,083 --> 00:06:19,458
Can you see them on camera?
108
00:06:20,125 --> 00:06:23,625
- 'Cause these are my favorites.
- We have to see your abs, please.
109
00:06:23,708 --> 00:06:25,416
The abs aren't ready yet.
110
00:06:25,916 --> 00:06:27,916
I have a paunch, man. Just don't show it.
111
00:06:29,583 --> 00:06:31,333
Go stand there and shoot me in the mirror.
112
00:06:55,791 --> 00:06:58,041
The thing is
when I was sick and at home,
113
00:06:58,125 --> 00:07:00,875
{\an8}I didn't really work for two years,
I didn't even touch my laptop.
114
00:07:00,958 --> 00:07:01,833
{\an8}Hello, everyone.
115
00:07:01,916 --> 00:07:03,958
{\an8}I was like,
"I can't write songs right now."
116
00:07:04,041 --> 00:07:05,833
{\an8}"I'm not in control of my mind."
117
00:07:06,500 --> 00:07:09,791
Then Mummy told me
to start as a music producer.
118
00:07:09,875 --> 00:07:12,458
Then I started calling
for vocals from different artists.
119
00:07:13,541 --> 00:07:15,583
I feel like
this is me starting all over again,
120
00:07:15,666 --> 00:07:16,791
as a music producer.
121
00:07:16,875 --> 00:07:17,708
Let's go.
122
00:07:26,375 --> 00:07:30,083
{\an8}Millind sent me a demo,
and I felt like it had a lot of potential.
123
00:07:30,166 --> 00:07:31,916
{\an8}The song was made on a trap beat.
124
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:34,291
I haven't written the song,
just written the rap for it.
125
00:07:34,791 --> 00:07:38,666
But I thought,
"Let's-- Let's produce it the old way
126
00:07:38,750 --> 00:07:41,750
like Honey Singh used to produce
on a dhol beat."
127
00:07:41,833 --> 00:07:45,625
"And with the same kind of melodies
and comps and chords."
128
00:07:46,291 --> 00:07:48,458
Back in 2003, he came to my studio.
129
00:07:48,541 --> 00:07:50,375
I heard his songs and I said,
130
00:07:50,458 --> 00:07:53,916
"Fuck! This is what I want to do."
131
00:07:55,291 --> 00:07:58,000
This is a dream come true.
132
00:07:58,083 --> 00:08:01,500
{\an8}I mean, as far as I am concerned,
my hero is Honey Singh.
133
00:08:05,291 --> 00:08:07,458
{\an8}We're on the sets
of "Paris ka Trip."
134
00:08:07,541 --> 00:08:10,458
{\an8}It's my first comeback video,
and I'm very, very excited.
135
00:08:11,666 --> 00:08:13,458
Yo! Netflix is here.
136
00:08:14,125 --> 00:08:15,500
What's happening, motherfuckers?
137
00:08:15,583 --> 00:08:18,958
Yo Yo Honey Singh for life!
For life! For life!
138
00:08:19,041 --> 00:08:21,958
- What will it take, girl?
- 2022! We're coming, baby!
139
00:08:22,041 --> 00:08:24,916
We are going to
fuck everything, motherfuckers!
140
00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:26,791
We're coming! Dang motherfuckers!
141
00:08:26,875 --> 00:08:29,583
{\an8}We're shooting
Honey's video here in Delhi.
142
00:08:29,666 --> 00:08:33,000
{\an8}So, you guys stay tuned
'cause you do not wanna miss any of this.
143
00:08:33,083 --> 00:08:34,083
It's gonna be hot.
144
00:08:35,250 --> 00:08:38,583
It'll be the first video, man.
They'll see the transformation in this.
145
00:08:38,666 --> 00:08:39,500
Yeah.
146
00:08:40,083 --> 00:08:42,000
I delayed
all my songs by seven months
147
00:08:42,083 --> 00:08:43,625
because I was working on my fitness.
148
00:08:43,708 --> 00:08:44,750
My fitness is ready,
149
00:08:44,833 --> 00:08:47,125
and we're gonna shoot
nine music videos in three months.
150
00:08:47,208 --> 00:08:50,000
It's going to be a new collection
of songs for my fans.
151
00:09:07,083 --> 00:09:08,500
Good news for his fans!
152
00:09:08,583 --> 00:09:11,750
Yo Yo Honey Singh has finished shooting
for his new music video,
153
00:09:11,833 --> 00:09:14,125
and this song is all set to be released.
154
00:09:14,208 --> 00:09:16,416
Honey Singh is coming
after five, six years.
155
00:09:16,500 --> 00:09:19,500
So, he's trying to come back.
So, he's doing good.
156
00:09:19,583 --> 00:09:21,791
He just fell through the cracks
in between,
157
00:09:21,875 --> 00:09:24,375
and now he's coming back?
It's great for him.
158
00:09:24,458 --> 00:09:26,833
Whether he's gone
or he's come back, he's always there.
159
00:09:26,916 --> 00:09:30,458
So, for me, according to me,
he was never gone.
160
00:09:33,833 --> 00:09:37,875
He's a good producer,
a good deliverer of a certain type of hit,
161
00:09:37,958 --> 00:09:40,333
who has a core audience
that will stick with him forever.
162
00:09:40,416 --> 00:09:41,541
Honey Paaji!
163
00:09:41,625 --> 00:09:44,833
He's reached a level where
he can always continue to put out music.
164
00:09:44,916 --> 00:09:48,166
He'll fill out shows.
You can coast on that for a long time.
165
00:09:48,250 --> 00:09:52,125
{\an8}But Honey's vision is old now.
It's outdated.
166
00:10:02,833 --> 00:10:06,166
I've probably been coming here
for the past 25 or 26 years.
167
00:10:06,250 --> 00:10:08,916
I used to walk here,
then I started coming on a cycle.
168
00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:11,666
Then I started using a scooter.
Now, I come in my car.
169
00:10:16,458 --> 00:10:17,708
Fantastic, bhai.
170
00:10:18,916 --> 00:10:21,125
You can only get this in Karampura, man.
171
00:10:25,791 --> 00:10:28,625
This is my place! My city!
172
00:10:29,291 --> 00:10:30,208
My hood!
173
00:10:32,125 --> 00:10:34,250
We used to sit around here, doing nothing.
174
00:10:34,750 --> 00:10:37,333
We were free, both of us.
So, two jobless people met.
175
00:10:37,416 --> 00:10:39,041
And we instantly connected.
176
00:10:39,125 --> 00:10:42,000
Yeah. Since then up till now,
we have a connection.
177
00:10:42,083 --> 00:10:44,291
So, sometimes,
he would come on a scooter,
178
00:10:44,375 --> 00:10:46,250
and the scooter wouldn't be clean.
179
00:10:46,333 --> 00:10:48,166
There used to be
a lot of clothes drying here.
180
00:10:48,250 --> 00:10:50,250
{\an8}He'd say, "Give me a rag."
I'd say, "There's no rag."
181
00:10:50,333 --> 00:10:53,333
{\an8}He'd just take one of those clothes
to clean the scooter and sit on it.
182
00:10:53,833 --> 00:10:55,666
- Namaste, aunty.
- Come, come.
183
00:10:57,250 --> 00:10:58,083
Let's go inside.
184
00:10:58,166 --> 00:11:00,375
Even if it was
somebody's underwear or a towel.
185
00:11:00,875 --> 00:11:01,958
Or someone's bra.
186
00:11:05,250 --> 00:11:06,666
{\an8}- Mozez bhai.
- Yeah?
187
00:11:06,750 --> 00:11:08,750
{\an8}This is where we used to sit every day.
188
00:11:08,833 --> 00:11:11,583
{\an8}And what happened one day
was this guy got jaundice.
189
00:11:12,083 --> 00:11:14,916
Okay, so because of jaundice,
he got leave from school.
190
00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:16,416
So, he was at home, resting.
191
00:11:16,958 --> 00:11:20,625
I used to bring a bottle of beer,
tucked under my shirt, like this.
192
00:11:21,250 --> 00:11:22,333
Just like this, yeah.
193
00:11:22,833 --> 00:11:24,958
Then I'd hide it here under the sofa.
194
00:11:25,041 --> 00:11:27,541
And we'd make him drink beer
while he had jaundice.
195
00:11:27,625 --> 00:11:30,000
Ah! I found out today because he told me.
196
00:11:30,083 --> 00:11:33,250
Oh, really? So, then, today,
you should give him a slap. No?
197
00:11:33,333 --> 00:11:36,291
- No, no.
- Wow! How many years? 25 years?
198
00:11:36,375 --> 00:11:38,958
- 25 years.
- 25-26 years.
199
00:11:39,041 --> 00:11:40,625
- Let's go.
- Yeah, okay.
200
00:11:40,708 --> 00:11:43,541
Those were the days
when we would roam the streets carefree,
201
00:11:43,625 --> 00:11:47,750
and everyone knew me back then,
and everyone knows me today as well.
202
00:11:52,166 --> 00:11:54,875
Sir! Sir! Honey sir! Sir, sir.
203
00:11:54,958 --> 00:11:58,375
- Sir! Honey sir!
- Honey sir! Sir, hi!
204
00:11:58,458 --> 00:12:01,083
She's the girl
who has posters of you all over her room.
205
00:12:01,166 --> 00:12:03,083
- Oh, this is that girl?
- Yeah.
206
00:12:03,166 --> 00:12:04,666
Hi, sir. Hi.
207
00:12:05,666 --> 00:12:07,833
I love you, sir.
Please let me shake your hand.
208
00:12:07,916 --> 00:12:10,916
Come on. Come on, it's photo time.
Let's take a selfie, come on.
209
00:12:15,083 --> 00:12:16,333
Okay? Thank you.
210
00:12:16,416 --> 00:12:17,833
Take care. All the best.
211
00:12:17,916 --> 00:12:18,875
Thank you, sir!
212
00:12:18,958 --> 00:12:22,625
Oh, I love you so much!
I really love you so much.
213
00:12:22,708 --> 00:12:26,875
All the best for every time, every song.
Your song is always the best song.
214
00:12:26,958 --> 00:12:28,125
Come here. Come here.
215
00:12:44,375 --> 00:12:45,666
{\an8}Love you, take care.
216
00:12:55,708 --> 00:12:57,458
{\an8}This is the house where I was born,
217
00:12:57,541 --> 00:13:01,041
{\an8}and this is where I spent
my childhood and my youth.
218
00:13:01,541 --> 00:13:04,000
I used to sit right here
when I was a little kid,
219
00:13:04,083 --> 00:13:06,916
and Mummy used to keep singing
while she cooked food for us.
220
00:13:07,541 --> 00:13:09,458
Papa was always listening to music.
221
00:13:09,541 --> 00:13:11,791
There was different music
playing throughout the house.
222
00:13:11,875 --> 00:13:14,125
Papa used to listen
to vinyl records back then.
223
00:13:14,208 --> 00:13:16,458
So, in a way, it was he
who pushed me towards music.
224
00:13:16,541 --> 00:13:19,125
He spoiled me. If he didn't make me
listen to so much music,
225
00:13:19,208 --> 00:13:21,000
if he didn't play
Mohammed Rafi or R.D. Burman,
226
00:13:21,083 --> 00:13:24,583
I wouldn't have been exposed to music.
I wouldn't have had this music sense.
227
00:13:26,541 --> 00:13:30,041
As a child, whatever he used to like,
those were the same things I liked.
228
00:13:30,125 --> 00:13:32,250
{\an8}So, I would fulfill my dreams through him.
229
00:13:32,333 --> 00:13:35,708
{\an8}I really wanted to be a singer,
but, sadly, my parents didn't allow it.
230
00:13:35,791 --> 00:13:38,708
{\an8}So, I put all my energy into him.
231
00:13:39,208 --> 00:13:40,833
{\an8}Go ahead. Live your dreams.
232
00:13:40,916 --> 00:13:43,750
{\an8}He would object to it,
and I would help him secretly.
233
00:13:46,625 --> 00:13:48,666
Looking at this picture,
it seems like Bhaiya
234
00:13:48,750 --> 00:13:50,833
has taken exactly after you. Right?
235
00:13:50,916 --> 00:13:53,750
What do you mean "seems like"?
Of course, he has.
236
00:13:53,833 --> 00:13:57,250
This, I think, was Bhaiya's 31st birthday.
237
00:13:57,333 --> 00:14:00,333
"I decided to write down
31 reasons why I love you."
238
00:14:00,416 --> 00:14:03,791
"Well, honestly, this is not for you.
This is for your kids."
239
00:14:04,291 --> 00:14:07,291
"And I really want them to know
how amazing their father is."
240
00:14:07,375 --> 00:14:09,250
{\an8}So, whenever…
241
00:14:09,333 --> 00:14:10,333
{\an8}Don't cry.
242
00:14:12,458 --> 00:14:17,166
So, whenever Bhaiya has kids,
I think they should read this.
243
00:14:17,250 --> 00:14:19,833
And the first reason I've written is,
244
00:14:19,916 --> 00:14:23,416
"Thank you for giving us
this beautiful and dignified life."
245
00:14:23,500 --> 00:14:24,375
- Right?
- Hmm.
246
00:14:24,458 --> 00:14:27,250
Because… we are very proud of him.
247
00:14:27,333 --> 00:14:28,666
- Right, Papa?
- Of course.
248
00:14:37,333 --> 00:14:39,458
Papa and I
didn't see eye to eye back then.
249
00:14:39,541 --> 00:14:42,750
Papa thought that I'd finish my BSc
and take over his business,
250
00:14:42,833 --> 00:14:43,958
which I didn't want to do.
251
00:14:44,041 --> 00:14:47,125
So, that was a difficult time for Papa
and a difficult time for me too.
252
00:14:47,208 --> 00:14:50,125
I couldn't help my father
because I wanted to do something else.
253
00:14:50,208 --> 00:14:51,458
I wanted to do music.
254
00:14:51,541 --> 00:14:52,416
I was focused.
255
00:14:52,500 --> 00:14:55,125
But it was a tough time for both of us.
256
00:14:56,125 --> 00:15:00,291
{\an8}I still remember
it was the War of DJ Awards.
257
00:15:00,375 --> 00:15:03,708
Papa had no idea that Bhaiya
is, you know, competing in this.
258
00:15:03,791 --> 00:15:06,416
We kept sitting outside,
waiting for him, till noon.
259
00:15:06,500 --> 00:15:08,875
And then he came back at around 2 a.m.
260
00:15:08,958 --> 00:15:12,125
All his friends came with dhols and then…
261
00:15:12,208 --> 00:15:13,125
We were very happy.
262
00:15:13,208 --> 00:15:14,833
His father was the happiest.
263
00:15:14,916 --> 00:15:17,291
Honey asked him,
"I hope you won't stop me now."
264
00:15:17,375 --> 00:15:21,083
And he said, "No, I won't stop you.
You go. Go and live your life."
265
00:15:25,541 --> 00:15:28,000
{\an8}It was 2003. Honey was coming up.
266
00:15:28,083 --> 00:15:30,458
{\an8}He had just started
making beats at that time.
267
00:15:30,541 --> 00:15:32,583
{\an8}He saw me at a club one day, rapping.
268
00:15:32,666 --> 00:15:36,250
{\an8}So, we met. The vibe was great.
He said, "Let's hit the studio."
269
00:15:39,125 --> 00:15:40,708
I was just a music producer.
270
00:15:40,791 --> 00:15:43,291
I never wanted to sing,
I never wanted to write.
271
00:15:43,375 --> 00:15:44,958
I didn't even know how to write a song.
272
00:15:45,041 --> 00:15:47,958
- Uh, it's mellow. It's mellow.
- First, rehearse it.
273
00:15:48,041 --> 00:15:50,708
Right now, the thing is
the lyrics aren't clear in your head.
274
00:15:50,791 --> 00:15:53,708
First, rehearse them. Then after that,
you can put your level up.
275
00:15:53,791 --> 00:15:55,041
- Okay, do it.
- All right?
276
00:15:59,458 --> 00:16:03,208
He's hard-working,
really hard-working, and really quick.
277
00:16:03,291 --> 00:16:06,166
He'd come carrying
a CPU in his hand, his own CPU.
278
00:16:06,250 --> 00:16:07,416
Dude was amazing.
279
00:16:07,500 --> 00:16:09,833
That's how we started.
We were like, "Is that a CPU?"
280
00:16:09,916 --> 00:16:11,625
He'd go, "Yeah, yeah, it's all good."
281
00:16:11,708 --> 00:16:13,833
"You can plug it
wherever the fuck you want."
282
00:16:13,916 --> 00:16:18,875
This is my CPU that I've had since 2006.
283
00:16:19,375 --> 00:16:20,541
It has a handle on it.
284
00:16:21,583 --> 00:16:26,083
On this, I had Acid Pro, FruityLoops,
Reason Propellerhead, Cubase.
285
00:16:26,166 --> 00:16:27,791
I used to work on all these softwares.
286
00:16:27,875 --> 00:16:31,541
This is the first Audigy 2 sound card
that I ever bought.
287
00:16:31,625 --> 00:16:36,250
People, uh, kids who understand
sound engineering and musicians,
288
00:16:36,333 --> 00:16:38,791
they would be familiar
with what a sound card is.
289
00:16:38,875 --> 00:16:41,583
For my first few recordings,
I used this machine.
290
00:16:42,083 --> 00:16:44,166
There used to be
a huge trunk kept right here.
291
00:16:44,666 --> 00:16:47,000
And on top of that, I would put my CPU.
292
00:16:47,500 --> 00:16:50,916
And I produced "Khadke Glassy"
sitting right here, in this room.
293
00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:52,625
And I-- And I mixed the track here,
294
00:16:52,708 --> 00:16:55,250
and I also mastered
the track here, myself.
295
00:16:55,333 --> 00:16:59,708
And I got my first award
as a sound engineer in 2005.
296
00:17:00,833 --> 00:17:03,500
This is where I did it.
And I was like, "I'm not stopping now."
297
00:17:07,291 --> 00:17:11,166
{\an8}The music was so good,
everyone had it as their phone ringtone.
298
00:17:18,625 --> 00:17:21,833
I started writing, and the songs
I used to make were very urban.
299
00:17:21,916 --> 00:17:23,291
But no one used to sing them.
300
00:17:23,375 --> 00:17:26,041
So, when I started singing them,
that's when I began my journey
301
00:17:26,125 --> 00:17:29,208
as a solo, independent singer
and performer.
302
00:17:33,833 --> 00:17:36,375
The first four, five years
of his career,
303
00:17:36,458 --> 00:17:39,375
he was very quick at seeing
how the winds changed
304
00:17:39,458 --> 00:17:41,083
and-- and changing with it.
305
00:17:41,166 --> 00:17:43,916
So, you know,
he tried that "Bhagat Singh" thing.
306
00:17:46,750 --> 00:17:50,750
He tried the hip-hop thing.
307
00:17:50,833 --> 00:17:53,791
He tried being an Eminem-style,
gangsta-rapper for a little bit.
308
00:17:56,833 --> 00:17:58,375
Then he went into party-rap.
309
00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:03,500
"Party-rap by itself isn't working."
310
00:18:03,583 --> 00:18:06,541
"But the sort of collabs I'm doing
with the folks guys are working."
311
00:18:06,625 --> 00:18:07,916
"How do I bring these together?"
312
00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:10,125
So, he was like,
"In International Villager,
313
00:18:10,208 --> 00:18:11,916
I'm going to have an international sound."
314
00:18:14,958 --> 00:18:17,000
{\an8}International Villager in 2011.
315
00:18:17,083 --> 00:18:19,875
{\an8}That sound was totally new for India,
in fact the whole world.
316
00:18:19,958 --> 00:18:23,333
It didn't sound like any hip-hop song
that you've ever heard.
317
00:18:23,416 --> 00:18:27,458
It didn't sound like a house song,
techno song, dubstep, whatever.
318
00:18:27,541 --> 00:18:31,041
It was all Yo Yo Honey Singh's sound,
and it was an urban sound.
319
00:18:31,125 --> 00:18:33,250
My friend said,
"Your brother has a show today."
320
00:18:33,333 --> 00:18:35,208
"Do you wanna go?" I said, "Let's go."
321
00:18:35,291 --> 00:18:39,666
That was my first show or concert,
or, you know, watching an artist perform.
322
00:18:39,750 --> 00:18:43,708
I saw people screaming his name.
They wanted to touch him.
323
00:18:43,791 --> 00:18:47,583
I was like,
"Oh my God! Is this my brother?"
324
00:18:47,666 --> 00:18:49,583
{\an8}"There are so many people who love him."
325
00:18:49,666 --> 00:18:52,458
{\an8}In 2012,
online video viewership
326
00:18:52,541 --> 00:18:55,416
{\an8}experienced a notable shift
towards mainstream content
327
00:18:55,500 --> 00:18:56,833
with Honey Singh's "Brown Rang"
328
00:18:56,916 --> 00:18:59,000
becoming the most trending
video of the year.
329
00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:03,833
Best Music Director Award goes to…
330
00:19:03,916 --> 00:19:06,416
My favorite. Honey Singh!
331
00:19:10,166 --> 00:19:12,833
{\an8}A Punjabi artist, born in Delhi,
332
00:19:12,916 --> 00:19:15,625
captures Punjab,
captures pan India and Bihar,
333
00:19:15,708 --> 00:19:16,708
captures Orissa,
334
00:19:16,791 --> 00:19:19,000
then goes all the way to Chennai
and does a show there.
335
00:19:19,083 --> 00:19:20,708
He's a Punjabi artist, mind you.
336
00:19:20,791 --> 00:19:23,000
And the people in Chennai were singing…
337
00:19:23,083 --> 00:19:25,125
♪ Gabru loves you! ♪
338
00:19:29,708 --> 00:19:30,541
Yes.
339
00:19:30,625 --> 00:19:32,166
Will your father agree?
340
00:19:32,250 --> 00:19:35,083
He'll get me married
to anyone but a singer.
341
00:19:35,583 --> 00:19:39,333
Ask your father to google my name.
His son-in-law is a superstar.
342
00:19:42,208 --> 00:19:44,416
{\an8}A high-school love story.
343
00:19:44,500 --> 00:19:48,791
{\an8}After 20 years of dating, Shalini Talwar
has now become Shalini Singh.
344
00:19:48,875 --> 00:19:52,208
Relationships like these are very rare.
345
00:19:53,291 --> 00:19:55,916
So, friends, with me today
346
00:19:56,000 --> 00:20:00,125
is the woman who has loved me
and supported me the most.
347
00:20:00,208 --> 00:20:02,333
The one who is my one and only…
348
00:20:02,416 --> 00:20:04,625
So, is Honey Singh
married or single?
349
00:20:04,708 --> 00:20:06,875
{\an8}I've been happily married
for the last two years.
350
00:20:06,958 --> 00:20:08,708
{\an8}- Oh, really? You're married?
- Yes, two years.
351
00:20:08,791 --> 00:20:10,958
{\an8}It means what they're writing
in the newspapers is true.
352
00:20:11,041 --> 00:20:12,416
{\an8}Really? This was in the newspapers?
353
00:20:12,500 --> 00:20:14,000
We have confirmed reports
354
00:20:14,083 --> 00:20:18,000
that Honey Singh's career will now
be managed by his wife, Shalini.
355
00:20:18,083 --> 00:20:22,458
Let's see what changes Manager Shalini
will bring about in Honey Singh's career.
356
00:20:31,958 --> 00:20:36,375
The first time I saw Honey
was at some concert.
357
00:20:36,458 --> 00:20:38,416
He had just gotten off stage.
358
00:20:38,500 --> 00:20:43,458
{\an8}He was, like, full of energy and that's
the first time I saw Yo Yo Honey Singh.
359
00:20:54,875 --> 00:20:57,166
I started off as a music director
360
00:20:57,250 --> 00:20:59,500
Today my friends are big actors
361
00:20:59,583 --> 00:21:01,458
Bollywood releases many films every day
362
00:21:01,541 --> 00:21:03,875
But for superhit films
Yo Yo is the X-factor
363
00:21:03,958 --> 00:21:06,416
{\an8}When a lot of his songs
featured in Bollywood movies,
364
00:21:06,500 --> 00:21:10,625
{\an8}then we actually realized that he's made
his name there. He's out there.
365
00:21:32,208 --> 00:21:34,750
International Icon Male. Honey Singh!
366
00:21:34,833 --> 00:21:37,041
{\an8}Best Music goes to…
367
00:21:37,125 --> 00:21:40,208
{\an8}Yo Yo Honey Singh!
Please give it up for him!
368
00:21:40,291 --> 00:21:43,291
{\an8}- Yo Yo Honey Singh!
- Yo Yo Honey Singh!
369
00:21:47,166 --> 00:21:48,166
Things were good.
370
00:21:48,250 --> 00:21:50,750
So, I was like, "Now, it's time
to make money. So, let's do it."
371
00:21:50,833 --> 00:21:52,791
And it was fun. The energy was high.
372
00:21:52,875 --> 00:21:55,375
I was seeing success
for the first time in my life.
373
00:21:57,333 --> 00:21:58,875
There's no windows in this house?
374
00:21:58,958 --> 00:22:01,166
No, there are no windows.
There's no space, right?
375
00:22:01,250 --> 00:22:04,750
- So, for 26 years, 24 years…
- 24 years.
376
00:22:04,833 --> 00:22:08,625
- …you lived in a house without windows?
- Without windows. But still got dreams.
377
00:22:08,708 --> 00:22:10,125
- Still got dreams!
- Dreams!
378
00:22:10,208 --> 00:22:12,416
- Still got dreams.
- It was so compact
379
00:22:12,500 --> 00:22:15,000
that even when my eyes were open,
it felt like they were closed
380
00:22:15,083 --> 00:22:16,375
and I was still dreaming.
381
00:22:16,458 --> 00:22:17,291
Yeah.
382
00:22:17,833 --> 00:22:19,458
This house is like a train box.
383
00:22:19,541 --> 00:22:20,375
Yeah.
384
00:22:20,458 --> 00:22:21,958
It's like a train bo--
385
00:22:22,041 --> 00:22:24,166
What do you call it? A compartment.
386
00:22:24,791 --> 00:22:27,166
You go straight in a line
and, there, it's over.
387
00:22:30,291 --> 00:22:33,583
When I was sick, I'd have these dreams
where I was waking up here.
388
00:22:33,666 --> 00:22:38,000
So, I'd wake up and I'd be like,
"Hey, I'm actually in Noida."
389
00:22:38,791 --> 00:22:42,541
"Oh, I thought I was sleeping over here,
sleeping here in Karampura."
390
00:22:43,416 --> 00:22:45,083
This is what was happening to me.
391
00:22:45,958 --> 00:22:47,833
I've never felt
like I've ever left this place,
392
00:22:47,916 --> 00:22:50,625
and I don't think I ever can leave here,
nor do I ever want to.
393
00:23:04,333 --> 00:23:07,083
That's the thing, right?
Everything is a circle.
394
00:23:07,166 --> 00:23:09,750
One wanders all over
and comes right back to the start.
395
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.
396
00:23:15,083 --> 00:23:19,041
So, whenever I die, I want to be
brought back to this cremation ground.
397
00:23:19,125 --> 00:23:22,541
If there's one thing
that I've understood about this world,
398
00:23:23,750 --> 00:23:28,541
it's that the biggest lie in a man's life
is life itself.
399
00:23:29,375 --> 00:23:33,875
Life… is false, it's a lie.
400
00:23:34,875 --> 00:23:37,500
Death is the truth. It's inevitable.
401
00:23:38,500 --> 00:23:39,875
And no one can change that.
402
00:23:43,875 --> 00:23:47,666
So, everything is temporary.
So, live it to the fullest.
403
00:23:48,375 --> 00:23:51,000
So, that's why I try to stay happy
as far as I can.
404
00:23:51,083 --> 00:23:54,791
I try to keep the people around me happy.
I crack all sorts of weird jokes.
405
00:23:55,333 --> 00:23:57,916
I make my music. I dance a lot.
406
00:23:58,416 --> 00:24:01,666
I perform for my fans.
I do what it takes to make people happy.
407
00:24:03,083 --> 00:24:06,958
Happiness and joy, it's what I want
to give to this fucking world.
408
00:24:09,708 --> 00:24:13,333
When I die, I want people to say,
"Fuck! This guy really lived life."
409
00:24:13,416 --> 00:24:15,125
"He lived his life, the fucker."
410
00:24:29,541 --> 00:24:31,541
Who do I give the flowers to?
I don't have--
411
00:24:31,625 --> 00:24:33,375
Hang them in the car.
They smell good.
412
00:24:33,458 --> 00:24:35,625
- In the car?
- It's jasmine.
413
00:24:36,708 --> 00:24:39,333
This is all I have.
I don't have my wallet right now.
414
00:24:40,500 --> 00:24:42,625
- Thank you, sir!
- Thank you.
415
00:24:42,708 --> 00:24:43,916
Shake hands?
416
00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:45,916
- Do you know my name?
- Honey Singh.
417
00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:48,541
Honey Singh is not my name.
It's Yo Yo Honey Singh.
418
00:24:48,625 --> 00:24:50,458
♪ Yo Yo Honey Singh! ♪
419
00:24:52,500 --> 00:24:54,083
You still look so smart.
420
00:24:54,166 --> 00:24:56,916
I still look smart?
She says I still look smart.
421
00:24:57,000 --> 00:24:58,916
Are you on a diet?
You've lost weight.
422
00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:01,583
- Yeah, I'm on a diet.
- You had become a little…
423
00:25:01,666 --> 00:25:03,250
- I'd put on weight, right?
- Yeah.
424
00:25:03,333 --> 00:25:06,041
{\an8}- Now I'm back to my old self?
- You should make a comeback.
425
00:25:06,125 --> 00:25:07,625
I'm back, I'm back. Don't worry.
426
00:25:07,708 --> 00:25:10,541
You asked, right? "Why do you need
to lose weight and become thin?"
427
00:25:10,625 --> 00:25:11,750
"Is it really important?"
428
00:25:11,833 --> 00:25:14,166
"Do you want to do it
for yourself or for people?"
429
00:25:14,250 --> 00:25:16,041
I told you, "It's for my fans."
430
00:25:16,125 --> 00:25:19,333
They're noticing and asking,
"Are you on a diet? You've lost weight."
431
00:25:19,416 --> 00:25:21,958
"You're looking like your old self.
You still look smart."
432
00:25:22,041 --> 00:25:24,041
They even said,
"You'd put on weight in between."
433
00:25:24,125 --> 00:25:25,000
So, they follow.
434
00:25:29,708 --> 00:25:33,208
We're on our way to the "Designer" shoot.
We're going to the set.
435
00:25:33,708 --> 00:25:36,375
Today, it's a fashion show setup.
436
00:25:36,958 --> 00:25:38,833
Please don't laugh
when you see what I'm wearing.
437
00:25:38,916 --> 00:25:42,583
{\an8}I'll be doing some really weird stuff
in this video.
438
00:25:45,791 --> 00:25:49,083
"Designer" is the second song
in my comeback plan
439
00:25:49,166 --> 00:25:51,708
after "Paris ka Trip,"
which was younger and peppier.
440
00:25:51,791 --> 00:25:54,041
But "Designer" is back
with the old Honey Singh scale.
441
00:25:54,125 --> 00:25:59,250
It's, like, grand, grand visuals
with an amazing artist, Guru Randhawa.
442
00:25:59,333 --> 00:26:02,041
It's Guru's idea,
which I have expressed in my music
443
00:26:02,125 --> 00:26:04,791
and which Mihir will depict
in his visuals today.
444
00:26:05,291 --> 00:26:07,791
And me saying that,
"Make me your designer…"
445
00:26:07,875 --> 00:26:10,041
{\an8}- Me also saying that, "Make me your…"
- "Designer."
446
00:26:10,125 --> 00:26:11,416
{\an8}Guru Randhawa in the house.
447
00:26:11,500 --> 00:26:13,291
{\an8}We made this song in 2020.
448
00:26:13,375 --> 00:26:14,833
{\an8}- Yeah.
- Now we're shooting in '22.
449
00:26:14,916 --> 00:26:18,000
He waited for me
to lose weight, to look good.
450
00:26:18,083 --> 00:26:20,541
- I said--
- No, paaji, we waited…
451
00:26:20,625 --> 00:26:21,666
You waited for us.
452
00:26:21,750 --> 00:26:23,708
- To give us a chance on this music.
- No way.
453
00:26:23,791 --> 00:26:26,875
You waited for us.
I remember I was in, uh, college.
454
00:26:26,958 --> 00:26:29,583
And, uh, bhai
had a show going on that day.
455
00:26:29,666 --> 00:26:32,666
Obviously, I couldn't get tickets
for that show,
456
00:26:32,750 --> 00:26:34,500
but I saw bhai and came back.
457
00:26:34,583 --> 00:26:37,375
But today, uh,
I'm getting to work with him.
458
00:26:37,458 --> 00:26:41,583
So, I'm really, really having a lot of fun
and I'm feeling very proud.
459
00:26:41,666 --> 00:26:44,291
This song demanded some good music.
460
00:26:44,375 --> 00:26:46,250
So, I've created music for this song.
461
00:26:46,333 --> 00:26:49,750
I didn't just make a beat for it.
I didn't just program the groove.
462
00:26:49,833 --> 00:26:52,416
I've programmed everything
and the drop especially.
463
00:26:54,416 --> 00:26:56,000
It's a high. It's a high, the drop.
464
00:27:15,625 --> 00:27:17,708
Oh, fuck! They're recording this too.
465
00:27:17,791 --> 00:27:19,625
What more do you guys want to see?
466
00:27:20,125 --> 00:27:22,375
Check this out.
I'm wearing a white underwear.
467
00:27:22,458 --> 00:27:23,750
It's Versace.
468
00:27:24,333 --> 00:27:26,083
What are you doing?
469
00:27:26,666 --> 00:27:29,541
- I'm showing you my Versace underwear.
- Love it.
470
00:27:29,625 --> 00:27:33,291
- You guys want to see everything, man.
- Yeah, we want to get in, babe!
471
00:27:33,375 --> 00:27:35,708
Fuck it.
472
00:28:16,625 --> 00:28:19,166
Paaji, listen to this song. Bollywood.
473
00:28:42,291 --> 00:28:45,083
Fucking bullshit, man.
474
00:28:45,583 --> 00:28:47,916
This is fucking Indian music.
475
00:28:48,416 --> 00:28:51,833
Why do you blame
motherfucking Yo Yo Honey Singh only?
476
00:28:54,166 --> 00:28:55,458
Thank you, sir!
477
00:28:55,541 --> 00:28:58,500
People love me.
That's why I'm Yo Yo Honey Singh today.
478
00:28:58,583 --> 00:29:00,708
Even these kids from the streets
still recognize me
479
00:29:00,791 --> 00:29:02,041
because they have all loved me.
480
00:29:02,125 --> 00:29:04,583
There are some people
who have accused me and defamed me,
481
00:29:04,666 --> 00:29:07,541
saying, "This guy makes vulgar songs."
482
00:29:07,625 --> 00:29:09,625
If I made vulgar songs,
would people have called me
483
00:29:09,708 --> 00:29:11,791
to their sisters' weddings
to perform for them?
484
00:29:11,875 --> 00:29:14,208
Would they invite me
to perform at their daughters' weddings?
485
00:29:14,291 --> 00:29:16,875
I sing all the songs
that I'm known for there.
486
00:29:16,958 --> 00:29:20,708
From "Enna Vina Dope Shope Maare"
to "Aunty Police Bulalegi" to everything.
487
00:29:20,791 --> 00:29:24,000
And they go mad. They go wild on them.
488
00:29:24,875 --> 00:29:27,000
Are you apologetic
about any of it?
489
00:29:27,500 --> 00:29:28,375
None of it.
490
00:29:29,416 --> 00:29:30,416
None of it.
491
00:29:31,916 --> 00:29:34,875
{\an8}Tell me which is the song
you said is your favorite song?
492
00:29:34,958 --> 00:29:36,125
{\an8}"Blue Eyes."
493
00:29:36,208 --> 00:29:38,958
{\an8}Mine too. Yours?
494
00:29:39,041 --> 00:29:41,166
"Blue Eyes"?
You all keep saying the same song.
495
00:29:41,250 --> 00:29:43,875
What was the one with Shah Rukh,
the Shah Rukh one?
496
00:29:43,958 --> 00:29:46,208
"Lungi Dance."
497
00:29:47,041 --> 00:29:48,291
"Brown Rang!"
498
00:29:48,875 --> 00:29:50,416
"Brown Rang!" Who said "Brown Rang"?
499
00:29:50,500 --> 00:29:53,041
- I…
- That's my favorite song.
500
00:29:53,125 --> 00:29:54,625
That's my favorite too.
501
00:30:07,708 --> 00:30:08,625
Whoa!
502
00:30:09,500 --> 00:30:11,041
"Brown Rang 2" is coming up.
503
00:30:11,125 --> 00:30:12,041
Whoa!
504
00:30:12,125 --> 00:30:14,166
No, but I like "Brown Mundey."
505
00:30:14,666 --> 00:30:16,291
That's not even my song!
506
00:30:16,375 --> 00:30:17,541
Really?
507
00:30:17,625 --> 00:30:19,791
- "Brown Rang."
- "Brown Rang," right.
508
00:30:20,291 --> 00:30:21,416
Yeah, "Brown Mundey."
509
00:30:21,500 --> 00:30:24,166
So, I'm gonna listen to
Honey Singh's song tomorrow and--
510
00:30:24,250 --> 00:30:26,625
She's not my fan at all, okay? Khalaas!
511
00:30:31,125 --> 00:30:32,208
Today, I'm having fun.
512
00:30:32,291 --> 00:30:34,500
There are so many girls…
so many girls to interact with.
513
00:30:34,583 --> 00:30:37,125
Yesterday and the day before,
it was very subtle.
514
00:30:37,208 --> 00:30:39,208
If I'd jumped around there,
it would've looked weird.
515
00:30:39,291 --> 00:30:40,666
Who jumps around in a fashion show?
516
00:30:40,750 --> 00:30:43,875
I've already performed in a fashion show.
It was for the Miss India pageant.
517
00:30:43,958 --> 00:30:45,083
I was on the jury too.
518
00:30:45,583 --> 00:30:47,750
When I performed there…
Check out my performance there.
519
00:30:47,833 --> 00:30:50,333
It's completely different
from all my other performances.
520
00:30:50,416 --> 00:30:52,541
I was just like that, very subtle.
521
00:30:52,625 --> 00:30:54,541
Girls were moving around
and all that stuff.
522
00:30:56,500 --> 00:31:00,125
This Miss India performance,
that happened after the Nirbhaya incident.
523
00:31:00,208 --> 00:31:02,041
2014. Yeah.
524
00:31:02,125 --> 00:31:03,916
When did
the Nirbhaya thing happen?
525
00:31:04,000 --> 00:31:05,041
2012.
526
00:31:05,791 --> 00:31:09,458
Fuck! It's already been
ten years since it happened?
527
00:31:09,541 --> 00:31:11,208
We were reading about it and we were like,
528
00:31:11,291 --> 00:31:13,666
"Okay, on the one hand,
all of this is happening,
529
00:31:13,750 --> 00:31:16,916
and on the other hand, he's still
performing at Miss India." It was weird.
530
00:31:17,000 --> 00:31:19,458
But what-- What's the Nirbhaya case
got to do with me?
531
00:31:19,541 --> 00:31:22,666
Why did you mention
the Nirbhaya case in this conversation?
532
00:31:22,750 --> 00:31:25,375
You should have started the conversation
with the "Balatkaari" song.
533
00:31:25,458 --> 00:31:27,375
'Cause the controversy
started after that.
534
00:31:27,458 --> 00:31:30,083
Whatever it is! But why is my name
being mentioned with Nirbhaya?
535
00:31:30,166 --> 00:31:31,125
Correct.
536
00:31:31,208 --> 00:31:33,791
But "Main Hoon Balatkaari"
existed before Nirbhaya.
537
00:31:33,875 --> 00:31:35,416
But that's not my song either.
538
00:31:35,500 --> 00:31:38,041
At that time,
no one had made that connection, Honey.
539
00:31:38,125 --> 00:31:39,833
Yeah, but I still got dragged in.
540
00:31:43,208 --> 00:31:44,583
We want justice!
541
00:31:44,666 --> 00:31:47,916
{\an8}On December 16th,
a 23-year-old student
542
00:31:48,000 --> 00:31:50,166
{\an8}was brutally assaulted on a moving bus.
543
00:31:50,250 --> 00:31:54,291
Enraged students and women
held a protest at India Gate,
544
00:31:54,375 --> 00:31:57,041
in response to the brutal rape,
demanding justice.
545
00:31:57,125 --> 00:31:59,291
We want justice!
546
00:31:59,375 --> 00:32:02,208
{\an8}It was 2012,
Bhaiya's songs were a big hit,
547
00:32:02,291 --> 00:32:05,041
{\an8}and that was when
the Nirbhaya case happened.
548
00:32:06,541 --> 00:32:08,333
I was there, protesting,
549
00:32:08,833 --> 00:32:11,458
{\an8}because being a woman,
I know how it feels, right?
550
00:32:11,541 --> 00:32:15,708
{\an8}After two days,
or maybe three days, I was in office,
551
00:32:15,791 --> 00:32:18,833
{\an8}and, uh, I just read
this news about my brother,
552
00:32:18,916 --> 00:32:21,916
that, you know,
he made this song to glorify rape.
553
00:32:22,000 --> 00:32:24,416
He's made a song.
It's called "Main Hoon Balatkaari."
554
00:32:24,500 --> 00:32:27,000
{\an8}It's so dirty.
He's made such a dirty song.
555
00:32:27,083 --> 00:32:30,416
{\an8}I heard the song today.
It-- It made my blood boil.
556
00:32:30,500 --> 00:32:31,875
{\an8}I'm at a loss for words.
557
00:32:31,958 --> 00:32:34,750
We have asked for an FIR
to be filed against him.
558
00:32:34,833 --> 00:32:37,166
{\an8}Honey Singh's concert
in Vadodara, Gujarat,
559
00:32:37,250 --> 00:32:38,750
{\an8}is being strongly protested.
560
00:32:38,833 --> 00:32:41,583
{\an8}Honey Singh's film
Tu Mera Bhai, Main Tera Bhai
561
00:32:41,666 --> 00:32:43,166
{\an8}has been released today.
562
00:32:43,250 --> 00:32:45,500
People are holding
demonstrations against it.
563
00:32:57,291 --> 00:33:00,541
{\an8}The media changed everything
with one story.
564
00:33:01,041 --> 00:33:04,416
{\an8}The media didn't really think
it was necessary
565
00:33:04,500 --> 00:33:08,166
{\an8}to even figure out
if this was really Honey Singh's song.
566
00:33:08,250 --> 00:33:10,750
{\an8}When I haven't even sung the song
"Main Hoon Balatkaari,"
567
00:33:10,833 --> 00:33:12,500
{\an8}I'm being dragged
to these different courts
568
00:33:12,583 --> 00:33:14,000
{\an8}for the last 10 months and, uh…
569
00:33:14,083 --> 00:33:17,208
{\an8}When the court dismissed the PIL,
then the CFS have got involved.
570
00:33:17,291 --> 00:33:18,500
{\an8}And now it's all gone too far.
571
00:33:18,583 --> 00:33:22,708
{\an8}The kind of songs he's always made,
it is easy to assume that maybe,
572
00:33:22,791 --> 00:33:25,416
{\an8}giving him the benefit of
the doubt, maybe he has written it.
573
00:33:25,500 --> 00:33:28,333
{\an8}"Main Hoon Balatkaari"
was not written by me or sung by me.
574
00:33:29,291 --> 00:33:32,416
{\an8}He was all over the media.
575
00:33:32,500 --> 00:33:34,333
Everyone started hating him.
576
00:33:34,416 --> 00:33:35,833
Everyone started
577
00:33:36,833 --> 00:33:39,375
accusing him as if he was the rapist.
578
00:33:39,458 --> 00:33:42,375
{\an8}What is this obscenity
you've been spreading in the country?
579
00:33:42,458 --> 00:33:44,250
{\an8}Vulgar songs, vulgar lyrics.
580
00:33:44,333 --> 00:33:47,416
{\an8}Everything I've learned about the world,
how I express myself,
581
00:33:47,500 --> 00:33:50,791
{\an8}it's by listening to others.
I've learned it all amongst people.
582
00:33:50,875 --> 00:33:52,833
{\an8}This is society itself.
583
00:33:53,833 --> 00:33:56,416
{\an8}People like blaming artists.
We're used to it.
584
00:33:56,500 --> 00:33:59,666
{\an8}We already know that
people will talk no matter what we do.
585
00:33:59,750 --> 00:34:03,000
{\an8}But the whole family gets abused, man.
586
00:34:03,083 --> 00:34:04,791
We used to get threats.
587
00:34:04,875 --> 00:34:09,875
People used to say, "We--
We'll shoot him whenever we see him."
588
00:34:12,541 --> 00:34:14,333
We lived in fear.
589
00:34:15,250 --> 00:34:18,083
{\an8}Today, after six or seven months,
I can catch my breath.
590
00:34:18,166 --> 00:34:20,333
{\an8}When you're persecuted
for doing absolutely nothing,
591
00:34:20,416 --> 00:34:23,416
{\an8}you go through such turmoil,
you can't imagine. Only I know.
592
00:34:23,500 --> 00:34:25,875
{\an8}You will see that reflected
in my upcoming songs too.
593
00:34:53,791 --> 00:34:55,791
We know
he didn't sing the song "Balatkaari."
594
00:34:55,875 --> 00:34:58,750
{\an8}- But he did sing the song "Choot," right?
- I've never heard it.
595
00:34:58,833 --> 00:35:00,041
{\an8}- Never heard it?
- No.
596
00:35:00,125 --> 00:35:01,041
{\an8}♪ Tung, tung, tung ♪
597
00:35:01,125 --> 00:35:03,333
- I love it. We groove to it.
- ♪ Tung, tung ♪
598
00:35:03,416 --> 00:35:05,750
{\an8}I've never listened to that song complete.
599
00:35:05,833 --> 00:35:08,375
{\an8}- ♪ Tung, tung ♪
- I heard, but I don't know if it's him.
600
00:35:08,458 --> 00:35:10,458
{\an8}♪ Tung, tung, dun, dun ♪
601
00:35:10,541 --> 00:35:14,250
So "Choot Vol. 1" is this song
that these guys apparently wrote,
602
00:35:14,333 --> 00:35:17,250
"Mafia Mundeer,"
which is Badshah, Honey Singh,
603
00:35:17,333 --> 00:35:20,541
and Ikka, Lil Golu, and Raftaar.
604
00:35:20,625 --> 00:35:24,666
{\an8}The people who've redefined
the genre of music,
605
00:35:24,750 --> 00:35:27,166
{\an8}they feel like the world
is nothing in front of them.
606
00:35:27,250 --> 00:35:28,375
{\an8}The world belongs to them.
607
00:35:28,458 --> 00:35:32,000
{\an8}There's this time period
of immaturity, bro, teenagers have,
608
00:35:32,083 --> 00:35:33,666
{\an8}you know, where they do stupid things.
609
00:35:33,750 --> 00:35:36,416
We also did stupid things.
We were all young. We were kids.
610
00:35:36,500 --> 00:35:38,250
We were growing up,
getting to know the world.
611
00:35:38,333 --> 00:35:40,000
{\an8}"You've been fucked
by 25 villages."
612
00:35:40,083 --> 00:35:42,500
{\an8}"My dick is now ready."
613
00:35:42,583 --> 00:35:44,375
{\an8}"I'll take your pussy with me today."
614
00:35:44,458 --> 00:35:46,708
{\an8}So, basically,
they're saying,
615
00:35:46,791 --> 00:35:50,708
{\an8}"I'm going to fuck you,
and my dick has prepared itself for that."
616
00:35:50,791 --> 00:35:55,125
"So, you know, my manhood is dependent
on the fact that I'm going to fuck you."
617
00:35:55,208 --> 00:35:57,583
It's very aggressive, very, like, sort of,
618
00:35:58,500 --> 00:36:02,791
like, bordering on violent
in terms of its imagery.
619
00:36:02,875 --> 00:36:06,541
It's not just about women
or how it makes them feel.
620
00:36:06,625 --> 00:36:07,958
It's also about the fact that
621
00:36:08,041 --> 00:36:10,708
where is the man
who's writing this coming from?
622
00:36:10,791 --> 00:36:12,333
And wherever that may be,
623
00:36:12,416 --> 00:36:14,916
has he now, whatever his age is,
624
00:36:15,000 --> 00:36:17,208
30-year-old something,
40-year-old something,
625
00:36:17,291 --> 00:36:20,041
has he-- has he now reflected back on it?
626
00:36:20,125 --> 00:36:22,458
Do you regret doing the song?
627
00:36:22,541 --> 00:36:23,916
The song is not mine.
628
00:36:24,000 --> 00:36:26,208
- You're saying it's not your song?
- No.
629
00:36:26,291 --> 00:36:28,000
It's been attributed as your song.
630
00:36:28,083 --> 00:36:30,083
It's been attributed
as a "Mafia Mundeer" song
631
00:36:30,166 --> 00:36:32,500
with you, Badshah, and Ikka.
It's not just your song--
632
00:36:32,583 --> 00:36:34,833
There can be many songs like this
attributed to Mozez Singh
633
00:36:34,916 --> 00:36:36,125
on the internet tomorrow.
634
00:36:36,625 --> 00:36:37,666
Would you like that?
635
00:36:38,375 --> 00:36:41,208
- Come on, you know it's your song.
- No, it's not.
636
00:36:41,791 --> 00:36:43,833
A lot of artists have horrible songs
637
00:36:43,916 --> 00:36:45,791
stuck around
somewhere on their hard disks.
638
00:36:45,875 --> 00:36:47,000
For me, the bigger problem
639
00:36:47,083 --> 00:36:49,916
is not that he did a song like "Choot,"
which is awful,
640
00:36:50,000 --> 00:36:52,125
but also, I don't think,
intended for mass release.
641
00:36:52,208 --> 00:36:53,750
The issue is that, like,
642
00:36:53,833 --> 00:36:58,625
the sort of attitudes
that are visible on that song,
643
00:36:58,708 --> 00:37:01,958
it's the same idea of what role
women play in their music.
644
00:37:02,041 --> 00:37:03,583
It's a little more grown up,
645
00:37:03,666 --> 00:37:06,875
less in your face, less raw version
of the same sort of thinking.
646
00:37:09,916 --> 00:37:13,125
I don't feel particularly comfortable
listening to his songs.
647
00:37:20,291 --> 00:37:22,250
Money, cars, wealth.
648
00:37:22,333 --> 00:37:24,333
Comparing brown girls, white girls.
649
00:37:25,416 --> 00:37:27,375
How many chicks,
how many break-ups you've had.
650
00:37:27,458 --> 00:37:30,250
Close-up shots of waists and hips.
651
00:37:30,333 --> 00:37:34,166
Yeah, his songs are a little misogynistic.
They absolutely are, but…
652
00:37:34,250 --> 00:37:35,500
Childhood crush!
653
00:37:35,583 --> 00:37:37,208
We've grown up listening to Honey's music.
654
00:37:37,291 --> 00:37:39,750
His songs sound nice
because he's creating something.
655
00:37:42,833 --> 00:37:45,000
When you listen
to a song like this,
656
00:37:45,083 --> 00:37:48,291
and it comes from
this immense source of star power,
657
00:37:48,375 --> 00:37:52,125
when that gives it validation that,
"Hey, Honey Singh is singing this song."
658
00:37:52,208 --> 00:37:55,083
"Look at where he's reached
singing songs like this."
659
00:37:55,166 --> 00:37:56,833
That is what I had an issue with.
660
00:37:56,916 --> 00:37:58,125
I just wanted to work.
661
00:37:58,208 --> 00:38:01,291
I made this decision when I was shooting
the "Dope Shope" music video.
662
00:38:05,375 --> 00:38:08,083
So I used to see girls in Delhi
who were smoking weed.
663
00:38:14,750 --> 00:38:17,833
I saw them dancing to this song
called "Tonight I'm fucking you"
664
00:38:17,916 --> 00:38:19,541
by Enrique Iglesias.
665
00:38:19,625 --> 00:38:22,583
So, I was like,
"If this guy is writing such bold lyrics,
666
00:38:23,083 --> 00:38:28,041
and he's taking two girls on a yacht
and kissing them both in the music video,
667
00:38:28,125 --> 00:38:31,041
he's doing all this and the girls
are loving it and they're smoking up,
668
00:38:31,125 --> 00:38:32,166
so should I try this too?"
669
00:38:32,750 --> 00:38:34,541
So, I also shot on a video on a yacht.
670
00:38:34,625 --> 00:38:37,916
If you watch the "Dope Shope" video,
you'll see girls wearing skimpy clothes,
671
00:38:38,000 --> 00:38:39,916
there's dancing going on and all that.
672
00:38:40,000 --> 00:38:42,625
I did it. People accepted it.
People really liked it.
673
00:38:42,708 --> 00:38:46,083
So, I tried it, and it worked out.
So, then I kept on doing it.
674
00:38:47,958 --> 00:38:50,625
They all say,
"This is what the audience wants,"
675
00:38:50,708 --> 00:38:54,000
which is the worst cop out. Ever.
676
00:38:54,666 --> 00:38:56,583
Why? But it is what they want.
677
00:38:56,666 --> 00:39:00,750
Yes, and so then are you an artist
or are you a supplier?
678
00:39:00,833 --> 00:39:01,791
Are you a vendor?
679
00:39:04,833 --> 00:39:08,666
No human being's motive
is ever to hurt anyone.
680
00:39:08,750 --> 00:39:10,583
It's just to entertain people.
681
00:39:10,666 --> 00:39:12,500
And getting so much hate…
682
00:39:12,583 --> 00:39:14,708
- An accusation is an accusation.
- …for no reason.
683
00:39:14,791 --> 00:39:18,875
Well, any normal person
will get mentally affected by all of this.
684
00:39:19,500 --> 00:39:20,625
I still remember
685
00:39:20,708 --> 00:39:24,083
that two of his projects
were going on together.
686
00:39:24,166 --> 00:39:28,000
There was Raw Star
and then there was the Temptation Tour.
687
00:39:31,541 --> 00:39:34,500
{\an8}♪ This is called Raw Star
Raw Star ♪
688
00:39:35,083 --> 00:39:36,916
Hey, I'm tired, man.
689
00:39:37,500 --> 00:39:38,958
That was a really stressful time.
690
00:39:39,041 --> 00:39:42,500
At the same time, I was doing
shows and releasing albums.
691
00:39:42,583 --> 00:39:46,083
"Blue Eyes" and "Lungi Dance"
were being shot, all this simultaneously.
692
00:39:46,166 --> 00:39:48,541
It was all so new to me, you know?
693
00:39:48,625 --> 00:39:51,000
I couldn't stand the idea
of saying no to anything.
694
00:39:51,083 --> 00:39:53,916
I wanted to do everything,
and I forgot I'm not Superman.
695
00:39:54,000 --> 00:39:57,750
{\an8}It took us seven hours
to get here from Mumbai.
696
00:39:58,250 --> 00:40:00,500
{\an8}We could get to England in so much time.
697
00:40:00,583 --> 00:40:04,666
{\an8}Early 2014. I saw a change in him.
698
00:40:05,458 --> 00:40:07,916
{\an8}I saw… For the first time ever,
699
00:40:08,000 --> 00:40:11,458
{\an8}I saw him questioning,
"How am I going to do this?"
700
00:40:12,000 --> 00:40:14,708
He used to do
up to three to four shows in one day.
701
00:40:14,791 --> 00:40:17,625
Although we lived in Noida,
after a show, he wouldn't come home.
702
00:40:17,708 --> 00:40:19,750
He would just keep himself busy.
703
00:40:19,833 --> 00:40:24,291
After that, out of 365 days,
we wouldn't see him for 300 days.
704
00:40:24,375 --> 00:40:25,583
That's how busy he was.
705
00:40:27,333 --> 00:40:29,875
He would hardly have
any time to spend with us.
706
00:40:29,958 --> 00:40:32,083
It was almost like isolation.
707
00:40:34,041 --> 00:40:36,375
And that's when
he started drinking a lot,
708
00:40:36,458 --> 00:40:38,666
which I found out about much later.
709
00:40:40,208 --> 00:40:42,666
If a car has a flat tire
and you keep driving it,
710
00:40:42,750 --> 00:40:45,291
what will happen to it?
At that time, we were helpless.
711
00:40:45,375 --> 00:40:48,083
You're driving the car, and the steering
is in someone else's hands.
712
00:40:48,166 --> 00:40:49,458
He wasn't in control.
713
00:40:49,541 --> 00:40:52,708
I'm in Ranchi!
So, Ranchi, make some noise!
714
00:40:55,333 --> 00:40:56,958
Everything happened together.
715
00:40:57,041 --> 00:40:58,833
India's Raw Star was about to be launched,
716
00:40:58,916 --> 00:41:01,416
and Shah Rukh Bhai said,
"You're coming with me on the SLAM Tour."
717
00:41:01,500 --> 00:41:02,833
I said, "All right, let's go."
718
00:41:02,916 --> 00:41:05,333
The next day, we took a flight
and went straight to America.
719
00:41:05,416 --> 00:41:08,291
In ten days,
we flew to America four times.
720
00:41:08,375 --> 00:41:09,791
Four times. Back and forth.
721
00:41:09,875 --> 00:41:12,375
We're going there, coming back,
going there, coming back.
722
00:41:12,458 --> 00:41:15,750
{\an8}It was
the second shoot for Raw Star.
723
00:41:15,833 --> 00:41:19,416
{\an8}I got news that
the first episode did not go well.
724
00:41:19,500 --> 00:41:21,000
{\an8}He was not confident.
725
00:41:21,083 --> 00:41:24,291
{\an8}He was fearful, and he was not himself.
726
00:41:24,791 --> 00:41:28,583
{\an8}At that time, we could not decide
whether we need to stop right now
727
00:41:29,250 --> 00:41:30,875
and go back home and rest.
728
00:41:30,958 --> 00:41:35,041
The time it took us to understand that
and cancel any commitments,
729
00:41:35,125 --> 00:41:36,416
we were already too late.
730
00:41:36,500 --> 00:41:39,125
In the middle of all that,
the Temptations tour came up.
731
00:41:40,875 --> 00:41:43,083
Yo Yo, it's your boy, Yo Yo Honey Singh.
732
00:41:43,166 --> 00:41:46,583
I'm coming with the one and only
biggest superstar, Mr. Shah Rukh Khan.
733
00:41:49,041 --> 00:41:50,625
This show is gonna rock!
734
00:41:50,708 --> 00:41:52,875
Gradually, I developed symptoms
735
00:41:53,500 --> 00:41:56,500
of suspicion and paranoia,
736
00:41:56,583 --> 00:41:58,458
that someone's conspiring against me,
737
00:41:58,541 --> 00:42:01,250
someone's going to frame me,
something weird like that.
738
00:42:01,333 --> 00:42:02,916
Maybe they'll file a case against me.
739
00:42:03,000 --> 00:42:05,125
I didn't really understand
what was happening with me.
740
00:42:05,208 --> 00:42:06,291
Why was I feeling like this?
741
00:42:06,375 --> 00:42:08,291
It was 4:00…
742
00:42:09,250 --> 00:42:12,041
It was 3:00 a.m. here in India
and he was in the US,
743
00:42:12,125 --> 00:42:14,166
and he was supposed
to go for his sound check.
744
00:42:14,250 --> 00:42:16,250
He messaged me, "I'm not feeling okay."
745
00:42:16,875 --> 00:42:19,125
And this was the first time
he said something.
746
00:42:21,833 --> 00:42:23,666
I was in my room. He messaged again,
747
00:42:23,750 --> 00:42:26,333
"Something's not right with me.
See what I'm doing."
748
00:42:26,416 --> 00:42:27,708
I said, "Bhai, what happened?"
749
00:42:27,791 --> 00:42:30,291
He said, "Can you come on Skype?"
I said, "Yes."
750
00:42:30,375 --> 00:42:31,875
And then he said that…
751
00:42:31,958 --> 00:42:34,500
- "Please bring me back."
- "Please just save me."
752
00:42:35,000 --> 00:42:37,041
He said, "Gudiya, please save me."
753
00:42:40,958 --> 00:42:41,958
And then…
754
00:42:43,958 --> 00:42:45,208
he disconnected.
755
00:42:45,291 --> 00:42:48,416
And I-- I was trying
to reach out to Shalini.
756
00:42:48,500 --> 00:42:52,541
She said, "He has to do this shoot.
You convince him to do this show."
757
00:42:52,625 --> 00:42:53,916
And I said, "I can't."
758
00:42:54,000 --> 00:42:56,791
"Because, see,
this is what he's sending me."
759
00:42:56,875 --> 00:43:00,625
"He just said that he's not feeling okay.
Something bad is happening."
760
00:43:00,708 --> 00:43:03,208
His body wasn't allowing it,
nor was his mind.
761
00:43:03,291 --> 00:43:05,291
And, for three hours,
762
00:43:06,708 --> 00:43:08,375
we had no contact with them.
763
00:43:09,166 --> 00:43:13,208
Then, three hours later,
I got news that he's in the hospital.
764
00:43:13,708 --> 00:43:15,041
He's got stitches.
765
00:43:17,958 --> 00:43:21,083
{\an8}We're getting reports that
Shah Rukh Khan slapped Honey Singh
766
00:43:21,166 --> 00:43:22,708
{\an8}during the SLAM Tour promotion.
767
00:43:22,791 --> 00:43:26,333
It was Honey Singh's
unprofessional behavior that provoked…
768
00:43:26,416 --> 00:43:28,875
…the superstar
asked him to leave the show.
769
00:43:29,708 --> 00:43:33,041
Someone spread the rumor
that Shah Rukh Khan slapped Honey Singh.
770
00:43:33,125 --> 00:43:35,625
That man loves me so much,
he'd never do that.
771
00:43:36,375 --> 00:43:38,958
Now, I'll tell you
what happened nine years ago.
772
00:43:39,041 --> 00:43:41,916
No one knows what I'm about to say
in front of this camera today.
773
00:43:42,416 --> 00:43:43,750
No one knows about it.
774
00:43:45,291 --> 00:43:47,750
When they took me along
for the Chicago show,
775
00:43:47,833 --> 00:43:49,500
I said, "I don't wanna do this show."
776
00:43:49,583 --> 00:43:51,375
I felt like I'd die during that show.
777
00:43:51,458 --> 00:43:52,708
I wasn't ready for the show.
778
00:43:52,791 --> 00:43:54,458
They said, "Get him ready. Come on."
779
00:43:54,541 --> 00:43:55,916
My management team turned up.
780
00:43:56,000 --> 00:43:58,000
They said, "Get ready.
Why aren't you getting ready?"
781
00:43:58,083 --> 00:43:59,666
The people with me said, "Get ready."
782
00:43:59,750 --> 00:44:01,416
I said, "I'm not going,
I already told you."
783
00:44:02,208 --> 00:44:03,250
I said, "I'm not going."
784
00:44:03,333 --> 00:44:06,541
I went to the washroom, took a trimmer,
and I shaved my hair off.
785
00:44:06,625 --> 00:44:09,375
I said, "How can I perform now?"
They said, "Wear a cap and perform."
786
00:44:10,250 --> 00:44:11,916
I said, "You're not even listening to me."
787
00:44:12,000 --> 00:44:14,458
I said, "I don't want to go!
I don't want to go!"
788
00:44:14,541 --> 00:44:17,833
I kept sitting in the chair like this.
"I'm not performing today!"
789
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.
790
00:44:29,916 --> 00:44:34,125
That day, I think I was very assertive
and I said, "Bring him back."
791
00:44:34,833 --> 00:44:36,625
He's everything, you know.
792
00:44:36,708 --> 00:44:39,250
If anything happens to him,
there's no point.
793
00:44:39,333 --> 00:44:43,875
So, we took the decision
that work needs to stop.
794
00:44:43,958 --> 00:44:44,916
"You come home."
795
00:44:45,000 --> 00:44:47,333
"We'll figure out
what needs to be done after that."
796
00:45:11,500 --> 00:45:12,833
It's bipolar disorder.
797
00:45:13,458 --> 00:45:16,458
Along with that,
I had some psychotic symptoms too.
798
00:45:16,541 --> 00:45:19,208
It's like your mind is in overdrive,
799
00:45:19,291 --> 00:45:21,291
and you spiral out of control.
800
00:45:21,375 --> 00:45:23,625
You're thinking all sorts of things,
801
00:45:23,708 --> 00:45:26,416
all sorts of things
that are completely unfounded.
802
00:45:26,500 --> 00:45:27,958
You know how you have dreams?
803
00:45:28,041 --> 00:45:31,458
But these dreams
are playing out in real life.
804
00:45:34,583 --> 00:45:36,166
Even when the house help came home,
805
00:45:36,250 --> 00:45:39,458
I'd get scared, thinking,
"She's looking at me and laughing, see."
806
00:45:39,541 --> 00:45:41,250
She'd be mopping the floor,
807
00:45:41,333 --> 00:45:44,833
and I'd think there's blood fallen there,
she's cleaning up the blood.
808
00:45:45,500 --> 00:45:47,333
This is what was going on in my head.
809
00:45:49,708 --> 00:45:50,875
I had this strange feeling
810
00:45:50,958 --> 00:45:53,208
that I'd probably
never see my parents again,
811
00:45:53,291 --> 00:45:54,833
that I might get trapped somewhere.
812
00:45:59,916 --> 00:46:03,083
People say, "I've been through hell,
I've been through hell." I saw hell.
813
00:46:03,166 --> 00:46:05,583
I saw death. I wished for death every day.
814
00:46:05,666 --> 00:46:07,750
Honey sir, are you okay now?
815
00:46:07,833 --> 00:46:10,458
Sir, we heard you were depressed, sir.
816
00:46:10,541 --> 00:46:11,750
Is this true? Honey sir?
817
00:46:11,833 --> 00:46:15,041
I let my hair grow out,
let my beard grow out.
818
00:46:15,125 --> 00:46:18,416
I wouldn't meet anyone.
I'd sleep all the time, cry all the time.
819
00:46:21,291 --> 00:46:22,958
I'd stare at the moon all night,
820
00:46:23,916 --> 00:46:25,375
look at how it's changing.
821
00:46:26,458 --> 00:46:29,166
I'd stare at it
for a really long time, really long.
822
00:46:29,250 --> 00:46:31,666
I'd feel like it's been
like six or seven hours,
823
00:46:31,750 --> 00:46:33,708
and only 15 minutes would've passed.
824
00:46:34,208 --> 00:46:36,000
My day just wouldn't get over.
825
00:46:36,083 --> 00:46:38,083
I just couldn't understand what to do.
826
00:46:38,791 --> 00:46:41,291
Locked up in a room, I wouldn't come out.
827
00:46:42,250 --> 00:46:45,000
I kept feeling like
someone's going to die now.
828
00:46:46,291 --> 00:46:47,708
There's prayers being held at home.
829
00:46:47,791 --> 00:46:49,875
Now, someone's gonna die.
Someone's gonna die now.
830
00:46:49,958 --> 00:46:53,250
I'd wait and see, "Who's gonna die?
I'd keep watching, "Who's dead?"
831
00:46:53,333 --> 00:46:55,208
I'd go and look in all the rooms,
"Who's dead?"
832
00:46:55,291 --> 00:46:56,708
Then I'd see nobody's dead.
833
00:46:57,208 --> 00:46:59,000
Then I'd think,
"Maybe it's me who's gonna die,
834
00:46:59,083 --> 00:47:00,375
that's why they're all praying."
835
00:47:00,875 --> 00:47:02,416
"Maybe I'm gonna die today."
836
00:47:08,958 --> 00:47:10,333
I know it gets really boring
837
00:47:10,416 --> 00:47:12,416
that I keep talking about this
over and over again.
838
00:47:12,500 --> 00:47:16,041
I just want to tell you, "Fuckers,
you have no idea what it's like."
839
00:47:16,125 --> 00:47:18,375
It's a motherfucker of a disease.
840
00:47:18,458 --> 00:47:19,750
If your liver or kidney fails,
841
00:47:19,833 --> 00:47:22,083
one of your brothers
can give you his kidney.
842
00:47:22,166 --> 00:47:24,833
If he's not ready,
you can get a kidney from the market.
843
00:47:24,916 --> 00:47:27,333
If your mind is fucked,
who will give you theirs?
844
00:47:28,000 --> 00:47:29,875
Where will you get one?
How can it be fixed?
845
00:47:29,958 --> 00:47:32,583
I used to think,
"Will I ever be okay again?"
846
00:47:32,666 --> 00:47:33,625
At that time,
847
00:47:33,708 --> 00:47:37,333
I would constantly keep thinking,
"He's low. Make him happy."
848
00:47:37,416 --> 00:47:39,791
"Do something. Do something silly."
849
00:47:39,875 --> 00:47:41,708
"Talk memories, childhood."
850
00:47:41,791 --> 00:47:43,958
"Get something that he really likes."
851
00:47:44,041 --> 00:47:47,208
Now, when I'm telling you all of this,
852
00:47:47,291 --> 00:47:49,208
I actually feel very stupid
853
00:47:49,291 --> 00:47:52,708
because I'm more educated
about the illness now, you know?
854
00:47:52,791 --> 00:47:54,416
We met really good doctors,
855
00:47:54,500 --> 00:47:57,958
{\an8}and they really helped us
and they really educated us.
856
00:48:00,458 --> 00:48:03,208
Everyone at home
is aware of this now.
857
00:48:03,291 --> 00:48:06,125
They know about mental health problems
because they've seen it now.
858
00:48:06,208 --> 00:48:07,208
They've seen me.
859
00:48:07,291 --> 00:48:09,625
I was reduced to nothing in front of them.
860
00:48:09,708 --> 00:48:11,750
Now, they understand
what this illness is about.
861
00:48:11,833 --> 00:48:13,916
They used to walk around
with stacks of files for me,
862
00:48:14,500 --> 00:48:16,083
my mother, my sister, my wife,
863
00:48:16,166 --> 00:48:18,625
from this doctor
to that doctor to this doctor.
864
00:48:21,333 --> 00:48:25,750
He came and told us himself,
"I need your help. Get a doctor." He--
865
00:48:25,833 --> 00:48:27,708
He said, "I don't understand
what is happening--"
866
00:48:27,791 --> 00:48:29,541
"I don't understand
what is happening to me."
867
00:48:29,625 --> 00:48:31,291
"I really need-- I want a doctor."
868
00:48:32,000 --> 00:48:36,583
The day he accepted that,
"These are my symptoms,
869
00:48:36,666 --> 00:48:40,166
these are my thoughts,
I have to work on them,"
870
00:48:40,250 --> 00:48:44,958
that day was actually, you know,
when we saw improvement in his health.
871
00:48:45,041 --> 00:48:49,041
So, that took us a long time
to reach there, to that point.
872
00:48:51,041 --> 00:48:52,041
More than a year?
873
00:48:52,958 --> 00:48:55,416
Yeah. More than a year.
874
00:48:55,500 --> 00:48:57,916
{\an8}♪ Yo Yo Honey Singh! ♪
875
00:48:58,708 --> 00:49:03,833
{\an8}I still remember, when in 2016,
Bhaiya's health got a little better,
876
00:49:03,916 --> 00:49:06,666
and the first award ceremony he attended,
877
00:49:06,750 --> 00:49:08,875
he was sitting
right next to Shah Rukh Khan sir
878
00:49:08,958 --> 00:49:12,083
so that the media should know
that nothing happened.
879
00:49:12,166 --> 00:49:14,500
And he was really nice to Bhaiya.
880
00:49:16,333 --> 00:49:23,166
2016, '17, by the time it was 2018,
Bhaiya started getting better.
881
00:49:23,250 --> 00:49:26,458
And then he started talking about work.
882
00:49:26,541 --> 00:49:28,541
He was still on his medication.
883
00:49:28,625 --> 00:49:30,625
He knew he had gained weight.
884
00:49:30,708 --> 00:49:34,583
And still, he would carry that weight
with a lot of grace.
885
00:49:36,041 --> 00:49:40,875
Around that time, because of "Makhna,"
there was pressure on him to go to Cuba.
886
00:49:41,958 --> 00:49:44,166
{\an8}Yo, yo, yo, it's your boy,
Yo Yo Honey Singh.
887
00:49:44,250 --> 00:49:47,000
Singsta's here, TDO is there,
Nidhi is there.
888
00:49:47,083 --> 00:49:48,500
My wife is there.
889
00:49:51,208 --> 00:49:53,625
{\an8}We got a lot of criticism for his looks.
890
00:49:54,333 --> 00:49:57,416
His long hair. His face looks bloated.
891
00:49:57,500 --> 00:49:58,833
His thought process was like,
892
00:49:58,916 --> 00:50:02,458
"I don't think my fans, my people,
will accept me the way I look."
893
00:50:02,541 --> 00:50:04,375
So, he started thinking on the lines of,
894
00:50:04,458 --> 00:50:07,791
"Now I'm going to compose music
and give songs to--"
895
00:50:07,875 --> 00:50:10,791
I was like, "No! They want to see you!"
896
00:50:12,000 --> 00:50:14,875
Even our family's
spiritual Guru, Acharyaji,
897
00:50:14,958 --> 00:50:17,791
he motivated Bhai quite a lot back then.
898
00:50:17,875 --> 00:50:20,750
{\an8}Things changed.
The weight started coming down.
899
00:50:20,833 --> 00:50:22,625
{\an8}We saw him getting better.
900
00:50:22,708 --> 00:50:27,541
{\an8}We saw that confidence back,
that smile on his face.
901
00:50:28,541 --> 00:50:30,333
So, that's where we are now.
902
00:50:30,416 --> 00:50:34,291
He's fit. He's healthy.
Doctors have given him a routine.
903
00:50:34,375 --> 00:50:38,416
But for him to follow his routine
is-- is very important.
904
00:50:38,500 --> 00:50:39,458
And his sleep.
905
00:50:39,541 --> 00:50:43,125
His sleep shouldn't be disturbed,
and he shouldn't miss his dose.
906
00:50:43,208 --> 00:50:47,791
If we are going to perform somewhere,
we arrive in that city a day in advance.
907
00:50:47,875 --> 00:50:50,291
We make sure we sleep properly.
We rest properly.
908
00:50:50,375 --> 00:50:52,458
We wake up the next day at our own pace.
909
00:50:52,541 --> 00:50:54,166
We do the shows. We sleep again.
910
00:50:54,250 --> 00:50:55,458
The next day, we wake up
911
00:50:55,541 --> 00:50:57,666
and catch the night flight
to another city.
912
00:50:57,750 --> 00:51:00,958
It doesn't matter
if he gets free by 2:00 or 3:00 a.m.,
913
00:51:01,041 --> 00:51:02,125
I make sure I talk to him.
914
00:51:02,208 --> 00:51:05,000
When has he woken up? Has he eaten or not?
915
00:51:05,083 --> 00:51:06,583
Is he relaxed or not?
916
00:51:06,666 --> 00:51:08,041
So when he works too much,
917
00:51:08,125 --> 00:51:10,666
I remind him that he needs
to take a break in the middle.
918
00:51:10,750 --> 00:51:12,500
Those two years
when I didn't have any work,
919
00:51:12,583 --> 00:51:14,125
it was a horrible time for me.
920
00:51:14,208 --> 00:51:15,916
I mean, a young man is sitting at home
921
00:51:16,000 --> 00:51:18,791
and just sleeping
till 12:30 in the afternoon,
922
00:51:18,875 --> 00:51:21,166
and his father's going to work,
and I'm just watching.
923
00:51:21,250 --> 00:51:22,875
I mean, whenever our eyes would meet,
924
00:51:22,958 --> 00:51:26,000
I would feel ashamed of myself
that I'm not earning
925
00:51:27,000 --> 00:51:29,125
and my father is still working at his age.
926
00:51:49,208 --> 00:51:51,833
My parents have really done a lot for me.
927
00:51:51,916 --> 00:51:54,666
And I haven't really been able
to do anything for them.
928
00:51:57,041 --> 00:52:00,875
Now they do nothing but wait for me.
"When will he come? When will he come?"
929
00:52:00,958 --> 00:52:02,541
And I can't even sit with them.
930
00:52:07,000 --> 00:52:10,958
And when I was at home, I was like
a fucking dead body, a fucking corpse.
931
00:52:16,791 --> 00:52:19,958
They've seen me at my worst.
I've been to hell and back.
932
00:52:27,875 --> 00:52:31,125
So, now, I'm mindful of the fact
that no matter how busy I get,
933
00:52:31,958 --> 00:52:33,583
I still look after them.
934
00:52:35,333 --> 00:52:36,875
All I want to say is that
935
00:52:37,875 --> 00:52:39,958
whoever's watching this documentary,
936
00:52:40,041 --> 00:52:42,208
just take care of your parents,
that's all.
937
00:52:42,750 --> 00:52:45,208
Because once they are gone,
they won't come back.
938
00:52:57,750 --> 00:53:00,125
So, this is, uh,
all the medication I take.
939
00:53:00,625 --> 00:53:02,708
Mummy makes a pouch for me.
940
00:53:02,791 --> 00:53:05,125
I mean, I can do it myself,
I'm a grown-up guy.
941
00:53:06,625 --> 00:53:08,625
Look, Mummy makes the whole dose for me.
942
00:53:11,541 --> 00:53:13,208
This is my whole dose, all cut up.
943
00:53:13,291 --> 00:53:16,583
This much of this, three pills of this,
two pills of that, and one pill of this.
944
00:53:16,666 --> 00:53:18,541
This is one time?
This is one day's dose?
945
00:53:18,625 --> 00:53:19,750
One day's dose.
946
00:53:21,916 --> 00:53:25,916
This medication starts taking effect
around an hour and a half after I take it,
947
00:53:26,000 --> 00:53:27,375
and I start to feel sleepy.
948
00:53:27,458 --> 00:53:29,125
I'm feeling very "up" right now,
949
00:53:29,208 --> 00:53:32,333
{\an8}and if I don't take the medication,
then I won't be able to fall asleep.
950
00:53:32,416 --> 00:53:36,041
{\an8}And if I don't sleep, then the next day,
I won't be able to function properly
951
00:53:36,125 --> 00:53:37,708
{\an8}and something could definitely go wrong.
952
00:53:51,166 --> 00:53:55,500
You know, in life,
I never wanted to lose control of myself.
953
00:53:55,583 --> 00:53:58,166
The one thing
I've been trying to tell you is that
954
00:53:58,250 --> 00:54:00,083
my mind being out of my control
955
00:54:00,166 --> 00:54:02,000
was the one thing
I never wanted to happen.
956
00:54:02,083 --> 00:54:03,708
And that's exactly what happened to me.
957
00:54:03,791 --> 00:54:06,416
I fell sick,
and my mind was not in my control.
958
00:54:06,500 --> 00:54:09,375
It takes a lot of effort
to keep things in balance for me.
959
00:54:09,458 --> 00:54:10,958
So, I don't wanna play with that,
960
00:54:11,041 --> 00:54:14,666
with drugs, alcohol, too much work,
961
00:54:14,750 --> 00:54:17,750
or not enough sleep, too much exertion.
962
00:54:17,833 --> 00:54:19,250
I don't wanna risk it again.
963
00:54:19,333 --> 00:54:22,000
Because I don't want that thing
back again in my life.
964
00:55:20,791 --> 00:55:22,958
{\an8}I make a lot of plans for myself.
965
00:55:23,041 --> 00:55:25,541
I try to design and shape my own career.
966
00:55:25,625 --> 00:55:27,666
My guru, Acharyaji, always says,
967
00:55:27,750 --> 00:55:30,500
"You're God's child.
What you think will happen."
968
00:55:30,583 --> 00:55:31,416
And it does happen.
969
00:55:31,500 --> 00:55:35,041
If I plan four big things for myself,
14 things happen.
970
00:55:35,541 --> 00:55:36,541
And they come to me.
971
00:55:37,541 --> 00:55:40,583
I've been sent a song by Mr. Salman Khan.
972
00:55:41,166 --> 00:55:44,041
His song has been lying ready,
and he's shooting it in a couple of days.
973
00:55:44,125 --> 00:55:47,041
I'm getting this opportunity.
All I have to do is sing it.
974
00:55:47,125 --> 00:55:48,333
I just have to sing it.
975
00:55:48,416 --> 00:55:51,125
He also said, "If you want
to try rapping on this, you can."
976
00:55:51,208 --> 00:55:54,000
I'll see if I can come up with something,
then I'll probably rap on it.
977
00:56:18,625 --> 00:56:20,250
I think we'll have to add a rap to this.
978
00:56:21,541 --> 00:56:23,333
Sir, where's the chorus in this song?
979
00:56:23,833 --> 00:56:25,583
That's what I was thinking.
There's no chorus.
980
00:56:25,666 --> 00:56:28,750
- It's one line after another.
- You sing the chorus. We'll make it.
981
00:56:30,958 --> 00:56:34,000
We can do something
in a cartoon style. Something from--
982
00:56:34,083 --> 00:56:37,083
We can of course say,
"I'm in love with a girl."
983
00:56:37,583 --> 00:56:39,583
"I'm actually a brave boy,
but I get a bit scared."
984
00:56:39,666 --> 00:56:42,250
{\an8}"Someone please tell her this.
Explain this to her."
985
00:56:42,333 --> 00:56:44,875
{\an8}"I'm her Nobita, she's my Shizuka.
I want to meet her."
986
00:56:44,958 --> 00:56:45,916
"I don't know."
987
00:56:47,125 --> 00:56:48,708
- "I don't know."
- "I don't know."
988
00:56:53,541 --> 00:56:59,125
♪ I'm your Nobita, you're my Shizuka
I've just got to meet you, I don't know ♪
989
00:57:00,958 --> 00:57:03,750
Make a beat for it
and bounce it, we'll write it outside.
990
00:57:08,791 --> 00:57:11,708
Yeah, this could be
the start for the song.
991
00:57:22,083 --> 00:57:23,250
How will it sound?
992
00:57:36,291 --> 00:57:39,125
{\an8}For Bhaijaan, in Hyderabad,
I had this thought.
993
00:57:39,208 --> 00:57:43,250
And so I gave it to, uh, Honey,
and he went to the studio.
994
00:57:43,333 --> 00:57:45,208
In half an hour, he finished a rap.
995
00:57:45,291 --> 00:57:48,000
And then, I requested Honey to come
996
00:57:48,083 --> 00:57:50,208
and to be in this song with us.
997
00:57:50,791 --> 00:57:54,375
It's a really cool song for kids.
998
00:57:56,791 --> 00:57:58,250
Lots of things are happening.
999
00:57:58,333 --> 00:58:01,375
{\an8}A lot of songs are being made,
a lot of shoots are happening.
1000
00:58:01,458 --> 00:58:04,500
{\an8}I'm doing shows back to back
because I'd stopped doing those.
1001
00:58:05,083 --> 00:58:08,125
And I do a lot
of wedding performances now.
1002
00:58:08,208 --> 00:58:12,541
The demand for those has gone up so much
that we aren't able to sort out our dates.
1003
00:58:12,625 --> 00:58:14,958
What dates can we give
and what dates can we not?
1004
00:58:18,166 --> 00:58:21,791
{\an8}Thank God he started working out
and let the negativity go.
1005
00:58:21,875 --> 00:58:24,125
{\an8}And he's back.
1006
00:58:25,708 --> 00:58:29,000
We thought life is good.
Everything is sorted now.
1007
00:58:29,083 --> 00:58:31,666
And he's working,
he's happy, he's feeling okay.
1008
00:58:31,750 --> 00:58:35,041
So even I resumed my work,
and we all got busy.
1009
00:58:35,125 --> 00:58:40,083
When I actually decided,
"Okay, now things are fine," you know,
1010
00:58:40,166 --> 00:58:43,083
everyone is now sorted,
Mom, Dad, my brother,
1011
00:58:43,166 --> 00:58:44,791
then a major setback happened.
1012
00:58:44,875 --> 00:58:49,000
Yo Yo Honey Singh
has been accused of domestic violence.
1013
00:58:49,083 --> 00:58:51,333
Honey Singh's wife, Shalini Talwar,
1014
00:58:51,416 --> 00:58:55,166
has moved a plea
in Delhi's Tis Hazari Court.
1015
00:58:55,250 --> 00:58:57,625
I just want to tell everybody
that today was my hearing.
1016
00:58:57,708 --> 00:58:59,916
I couldn't come to the last hearing
because I was sick.
1017
00:59:00,000 --> 00:59:03,416
And the judge has provided some
excellent counselling for Shalini and me.
1018
00:59:03,500 --> 00:59:05,666
I trust the judiciary completely.
1019
00:59:05,750 --> 00:59:07,916
Whatever happens,
I know will be for the best.
1020
00:59:08,000 --> 00:59:11,583
We just heard Shalini Singh
has not just accused Honey Singh
1021
00:59:11,666 --> 00:59:13,250
but also his mother, father,
1022
00:59:13,333 --> 00:59:16,625
as well as his younger sister
of all sorts of exploitation.
1023
00:59:16,708 --> 00:59:18,583
Who all do we prove things to?
1024
00:59:18,666 --> 00:59:19,833
No one will believe us
1025
00:59:19,916 --> 00:59:23,666
because the world outside
was a very difficult place
1026
00:59:23,750 --> 00:59:25,666
with all the controversies
that were happening.
1027
00:59:26,250 --> 00:59:28,666
So, yeah, it was a difficult time.
1028
00:59:34,875 --> 00:59:37,916
Honey Singh's love story
that started in school
1029
00:59:38,000 --> 00:59:39,583
has now come to an end.
1030
00:59:39,666 --> 00:59:42,041
There has been
an out-of-court settlement.
1031
00:59:42,125 --> 00:59:44,583
Shalini Talwar has dropped all charges,
1032
00:59:44,666 --> 00:59:47,583
and the two of them
are now legally divorced.
1033
00:59:48,916 --> 00:59:51,375
{\an8}Do you want to talk
a bit about the divorce, Honey?
1034
00:59:51,458 --> 00:59:53,208
{\an8}You want to tell me what happened?
1035
00:59:53,791 --> 00:59:57,416
We've both signed an MoU,
so we can't talk about it.
1036
00:59:57,500 --> 01:00:00,208
But I wish her all the best in her life.
1037
01:00:01,041 --> 01:00:03,208
I wish she has a great life ahead.
1038
01:00:03,916 --> 01:00:06,500
It's like I said before, right?
It's all a circle.
1039
01:00:06,583 --> 01:00:08,500
Life's right here within this circle.
1040
01:00:09,541 --> 01:00:12,208
This circle, it keeps turning,
keeps coming back
1041
01:00:12,291 --> 01:00:13,875
and everything finds balance.
1042
01:00:13,958 --> 01:00:15,458
You keep reaping what you sow.
1043
01:00:15,541 --> 01:00:18,166
Like the old saying,
"What goes around comes around."
1044
01:00:19,041 --> 01:00:20,958
And I believe in this.
1045
01:00:48,916 --> 01:00:51,958
Since 2012,
we've had one problem after the other.
1046
01:00:52,041 --> 01:00:55,458
So, as a family,
we haven't really been able to enjoy life.
1047
01:00:56,125 --> 01:00:57,625
Now, Bhai's health is better.
1048
01:00:57,708 --> 01:01:00,291
And all the struggles
and setbacks he's had,
1049
01:01:01,041 --> 01:01:02,291
now he's coming back.
1050
01:01:03,416 --> 01:01:05,250
I think "Designer"
is getting launched tomorrow.
1051
01:01:05,333 --> 01:01:07,458
{\an8}And soon after that,
there's a collaboration planned
1052
01:01:07,541 --> 01:01:09,791
{\an8}with Lil Pump, called "Casanova."
1053
01:01:09,875 --> 01:01:13,375
{\an8}So, the pressure on him to give
a hit song like before is very high.
1054
01:01:14,416 --> 01:01:16,625
We are also a little stressed,
but we are praying.
1055
01:01:19,875 --> 01:01:22,083
{\an8}Are you ready
for what happens with you now?
1056
01:01:22,166 --> 01:01:24,125
{\an8}Sir, I was born ready
for everything, okay?
1057
01:01:24,208 --> 01:01:26,250
I'm ready for hits. I'm ready for flops.
1058
01:01:26,333 --> 01:01:29,000
I'm ready for more success.
I'm ready for more failure.
1059
01:01:29,083 --> 01:01:32,291
{\an8}Yo, yo, it's your boy, Yo Honey Singh.
A big shoutout to all my fans.
1060
01:01:32,375 --> 01:01:34,250
{\an8}My latest song
is out there for all of you.
1061
01:01:34,333 --> 01:01:36,375
{\an8}You can now listen
to my latest song, "Designer."
1062
01:01:36,458 --> 01:01:38,791
{\an8}Download my new song on Apple Music,
1063
01:01:38,875 --> 01:01:41,500
{\an8}on Wynk music app,
and on the Hungama Music app.
1064
01:01:41,583 --> 01:01:43,291
Let the hungama begin.
1065
01:01:43,375 --> 01:01:45,666
We were all waiting for this. Finally.
1066
01:02:01,166 --> 01:02:06,541
Create your own reels on my song,
"Designer," using #designer.
1067
01:02:06,625 --> 01:02:08,625
We will share the best one on Instagram.
1068
01:02:11,958 --> 01:02:14,250
{\an8}This sound will go everywhere.
1069
01:02:14,333 --> 01:02:15,833
{\an8}Sounding good already.
1070
01:02:15,916 --> 01:02:17,750
Baila, baila, baila, baby!
1071
01:02:25,625 --> 01:02:26,875
What's up, guys? It's Lil Pump.
1072
01:02:26,958 --> 01:02:29,250
I'm coming to Dubai
to shoot the biggest song ever
1073
01:02:29,333 --> 01:02:31,541
with Yo Yo Honey Singh and DJ Shadow.
1074
01:02:31,625 --> 01:02:33,041
We're making history. Shit!
1075
01:02:43,958 --> 01:02:47,875
The songs that he's made,
these latest ones, some were really good,
1076
01:02:47,958 --> 01:02:50,416
but some were
not really like his old-school style.
1077
01:02:50,500 --> 01:02:52,958
He's making new songs,
but I'm not really liking them.
1078
01:02:53,041 --> 01:02:56,083
- I still really like his old songs.
- I'm a little disappointed by him.
1079
01:02:56,166 --> 01:02:57,750
"Dope Shope" had a good vibe.
1080
01:02:57,833 --> 01:03:00,625
Something like that
will come out soon, it'll come.
1081
01:03:00,708 --> 01:03:02,333
We're still waiting for that.
1082
01:03:02,416 --> 01:03:04,958
There was a time when the DJ
wouldn't stop playing Honey's songs.
1083
01:03:05,041 --> 01:03:06,916
Uh, bring back the old you.
1084
01:03:07,000 --> 01:03:10,708
Not exactly at the top of his game,
but he's going to get there soon.
1085
01:03:10,791 --> 01:03:12,833
I feel that
since he's climbed that ladder before,
1086
01:03:12,916 --> 01:03:16,500
since he's already done that,
he won't be able to climb that high again.
1087
01:03:16,583 --> 01:03:19,041
THE WORST SONG
OF HONEY SINGH'S LIFE AND INDIA!
1088
01:03:22,166 --> 01:03:25,166
SOUNDS LIKE A KID COMPOSED IT
1089
01:04:05,666 --> 01:04:08,916
My audience from ten years ago
were all young back then.
1090
01:04:09,000 --> 01:04:13,041
When I wrote songs about alcohol,
"Let's smoke up," and all of that,
1091
01:04:13,125 --> 01:04:14,625
they used to enjoy it.
1092
01:04:14,708 --> 01:04:16,125
Now, they're all married.
1093
01:04:16,208 --> 01:04:18,000
If I make songs like "Manali Trance,"
1094
01:04:18,083 --> 01:04:20,166
they're not gonna
let their kids listen to it.
1095
01:04:20,250 --> 01:04:22,416
I don't wanna do all that gangsta stuff.
1096
01:04:22,500 --> 01:04:25,125
When I was younger, I sang songs
like "Panga" and all of those.
1097
01:04:25,208 --> 01:04:27,375
But now that's the only thing
people expect from me.
1098
01:04:27,458 --> 01:04:29,416
So, I just don't know what I should do.
1099
01:04:30,416 --> 01:04:33,125
I don't feel like it.
I don't know. I'll see.
1100
01:04:33,208 --> 01:04:36,083
If this whole thing doesn't work,
then I'll write and sing those songs,
1101
01:04:36,166 --> 01:04:38,083
if that's all they wanna hear from me.
1102
01:04:40,000 --> 01:04:42,125
I think he has
a very good understanding
1103
01:04:42,208 --> 01:04:44,166
that he has to change with time.
1104
01:04:44,250 --> 01:04:47,833
And in all these years,
we have seen that change in him.
1105
01:04:49,416 --> 01:04:52,708
He's had time to kinda reflect on it
and do all those things.
1106
01:04:52,791 --> 01:04:55,500
So maybe there'll be an understanding
or a shift in all that stuff.
1107
01:04:55,583 --> 01:04:57,750
But, to me, I think
it's part of an artist's journey.
1108
01:04:57,833 --> 01:05:01,500
{\an8}It's taking everything that's going on
around him in the community and society,
1109
01:05:01,583 --> 01:05:05,208
{\an8}and how they navigate that to their music
and how they push that forward.
1110
01:05:05,291 --> 01:05:06,958
{\an8}Man, that's being an artist.
1111
01:05:15,166 --> 01:05:16,291
Hello.
1112
01:05:23,791 --> 01:05:27,125
- I'm fine.
- Good morning! Hi.
1113
01:05:29,208 --> 01:05:32,000
I'm feeling really hungry.
Momos!
1114
01:05:33,250 --> 01:05:34,250
Manish!
1115
01:05:34,791 --> 01:05:36,833
- What are you making?
- Kadai chicken.
1116
01:05:36,916 --> 01:05:38,916
You make chicken in a kadai,
it's kadai chicken.
1117
01:05:40,291 --> 01:05:42,250
- Want some?
- Make me some green juice.
1118
01:05:43,041 --> 01:05:44,041
Just taste this.
1119
01:05:44,916 --> 01:05:47,375
No, no, you have it. Not now. Not now.
1120
01:05:48,291 --> 01:05:51,375
No, Papa, I won't have this.
Manish, make me some green juice.
1121
01:05:51,458 --> 01:05:52,625
This is new.
1122
01:05:54,666 --> 01:05:55,666
Somebody's changed.
1123
01:05:56,625 --> 01:05:59,625
- Did you have anything?
- He's making me a green juice.
1124
01:05:59,708 --> 01:06:01,833
Green juice? You don't want momos?
1125
01:06:01,916 --> 01:06:03,500
- No, I don't feel like it.
- Why?
1126
01:06:03,583 --> 01:06:05,166
- I'll have some later.
- Okay.
1127
01:06:08,791 --> 01:06:11,041
- Get me some water, Manish.
- What?
1128
01:06:12,666 --> 01:06:13,791
Get him some water.
1129
01:06:30,791 --> 01:06:32,333
- Was it nice?
- Listen, uh…
1130
01:06:32,875 --> 01:06:34,833
Give me just two pieces of that chicken.
1131
01:06:34,916 --> 01:06:37,000
- Get the chicken.
- The chicken that Papa's made.
1132
01:06:38,375 --> 01:06:40,416
This would've been amazing with a roti.
1133
01:06:45,833 --> 01:06:47,583
Man, this is delicious.
1134
01:06:47,666 --> 01:06:51,833
He's had a wish for a while
that he wants to adopt a child.
1135
01:06:51,916 --> 01:06:53,083
A daughter.
1136
01:06:53,166 --> 01:06:55,416
And he talks to me about it all the time.
1137
01:06:55,500 --> 01:06:58,458
And I'm like,
"Yeah, okay, let's adopt one."
1138
01:07:00,666 --> 01:07:02,791
The date
hasn't been announced yet?
1139
01:07:02,875 --> 01:07:06,000
Yeah, because I have a show
on the 19th, so…
1140
01:07:06,583 --> 01:07:09,625
It's in India. That means I'll have
to come back to India by the 17th.
1141
01:07:09,708 --> 01:07:11,375
I'm going to America now, right?
1142
01:07:11,458 --> 01:07:13,708
We have a corporate show on the 10th.
1143
01:07:14,416 --> 01:07:18,791
So, it's gonna be 75% foreigners
and 25% Indians.
1144
01:07:22,958 --> 01:07:24,333
Okay, okay. Okay, bye.
1145
01:07:26,750 --> 01:07:28,875
Oh-ho-ho, it's raining heavily.
1146
01:07:29,458 --> 01:07:30,458
Bye.
1147
01:07:47,541 --> 01:07:50,666
So, we flew into Chicago
and the show was the next day.
1148
01:07:51,916 --> 01:07:54,416
As we were exiting the airport,
I saw a signboard.
1149
01:07:54,500 --> 01:07:56,041
A signboard that said "Chicago Loop."
1150
01:07:57,375 --> 01:07:59,666
Something clicked for me.
I was like, "Fuck, loop?"
1151
01:08:00,750 --> 01:08:05,208
I started thinking which city was I in
when I had to leave the SLAM Tour?
1152
01:08:05,291 --> 01:08:06,916
I was like, "Fuck, it was Chicago!"
1153
01:08:07,666 --> 01:08:08,791
We go to the hotel, sir.
1154
01:08:09,750 --> 01:08:11,416
I told Indo,
"Bro, this is the same hotel."
1155
01:08:11,500 --> 01:08:14,041
He said, "What same hotel?
We're coming here for the first time."
1156
01:08:14,125 --> 01:08:16,083
I said, "Remember
when we came here nine years ago,
1157
01:08:16,166 --> 01:08:17,833
when all that shit went down?"
1158
01:08:17,916 --> 01:08:19,666
You won't believe it,
but when I went inside,
1159
01:08:19,750 --> 01:08:21,166
my suite was the same as well.
1160
01:08:21,250 --> 01:08:22,666
The same TV was hanging there.
1161
01:08:22,750 --> 01:08:26,916
I could see the spot where I made
a Skype call to my mother and sister,
1162
01:08:27,000 --> 01:08:29,083
crying, saying that,
"I don't want to do this show."
1163
01:08:29,166 --> 01:08:32,041
I felt like I'd suddenly gone
nine years back in time.
1164
01:08:32,125 --> 01:08:35,416
I said, "No.
The man up there is testing me."
1165
01:08:35,500 --> 01:08:37,625
I woke up the next day,
everything was normal.
1166
01:08:37,708 --> 01:08:39,916
It was the day of the show.
I woke up at 3:00 p.m.
1167
01:08:40,000 --> 01:08:42,416
But as we got
closer and closer to showtime,
1168
01:08:42,500 --> 01:08:45,125
I started getting anxiety all over again.
1169
01:08:45,208 --> 01:08:48,958
I started getting bad thoughts again,
that today is the day.
1170
01:08:49,041 --> 01:08:51,916
Back then, I had escaped death,
but today, I'm going to die for sure.
1171
01:08:52,875 --> 01:08:55,041
It had to happen in Chicago.
1172
01:08:55,833 --> 01:08:56,791
I was trimming my beard,
1173
01:08:56,875 --> 01:08:59,833
and I kept getting flashbacks
of when I was shaving my head.
1174
01:09:00,708 --> 01:09:04,125
My hand kept going up,
"Should I shave my head again today?"
1175
01:09:04,208 --> 01:09:05,875
I couldn't figure out what I needed to do.
1176
01:09:05,958 --> 01:09:08,666
I sat in my car,
and I called my doctor straight away.
1177
01:09:09,375 --> 01:09:11,375
My doctor is really my angel.
1178
01:09:12,208 --> 01:09:14,583
He said, "What'll happen?
You messed up nine years ago."
1179
01:09:14,666 --> 01:09:17,166
"You can mess up today too.
That's the worst you can do."
1180
01:09:17,250 --> 01:09:19,333
"Just go mess up the show.
Don't worry about it."
1181
01:09:19,416 --> 01:09:20,583
"Don't mess your health up."
1182
01:09:20,666 --> 01:09:22,541
"Mess the show up if you have to.
That's fine."
1183
01:09:22,625 --> 01:09:25,666
I felt a bit lighter then.
I thought, "That right, what'll happen?"
1184
01:09:25,750 --> 01:09:27,916
"The show will be ruined
or I won't be able to perform."
1185
01:09:28,000 --> 01:09:30,125
"I'm just feeling anxious.
I'm just getting scared."
1186
01:09:30,208 --> 01:09:31,833
While I was performing the show,
1187
01:09:31,916 --> 01:09:34,666
I didn't make eye contact
with anyone at all.
1188
01:09:34,750 --> 01:09:36,500
No matter how many people
I'm performing for,
1189
01:09:36,583 --> 01:09:39,041
whether it's 2,000 people
or 20,000 people,
1190
01:09:39,125 --> 01:09:41,208
I always make eye contact with everyone.
1191
01:09:41,291 --> 01:09:44,416
Because that's what gives me energy,
that's the thing that gives me strength,
1192
01:09:44,500 --> 01:09:46,750
looking into the eyes of my fans.
1193
01:09:47,458 --> 01:09:49,875
I kept asking, "How much time is left?
How much time is left?"
1194
01:09:49,958 --> 01:09:52,541
Finally, they said, "Time's up. Let's go."
We left from there.
1195
01:09:52,625 --> 01:09:55,125
On our way back,
when I was in the car, I relaxed.
1196
01:09:56,291 --> 01:09:57,958
I was like, "That's all it was."
1197
01:09:59,208 --> 01:10:00,500
But I did say one thing on stage.
1198
01:10:00,583 --> 01:10:03,708
I left this show in half
because I got sick.
1199
01:10:03,791 --> 01:10:06,166
Because of you people, I came back.
1200
01:10:06,250 --> 01:10:08,458
You brought me back!
1201
01:10:08,541 --> 01:10:11,208
This was the city where I lost everything,
1202
01:10:11,291 --> 01:10:13,500
and I came back here
and completed the loop.
1203
01:10:14,208 --> 01:10:15,708
I took my meds and went to bed.
1204
01:10:15,791 --> 01:10:19,166
I woke up the next day happy
and did the rest of the America tour.
1205
01:10:52,416 --> 01:10:54,708
We plan
a lot of things in our lives,
1206
01:10:54,791 --> 01:10:57,375
but the Almighty decides
what will happen and when.
1207
01:10:57,458 --> 01:11:00,833
And whatever it may be,
it'll come to you when the time is right.
1208
01:11:01,458 --> 01:11:03,916
It'll only come into your life
when the time is right.
1209
01:11:04,000 --> 01:11:05,750
It has a fixed time period,
1210
01:11:05,833 --> 01:11:07,833
and it'll leave your life too
when it has to.
1211
01:11:08,875 --> 01:11:11,208
A person can be proud
and think to themselves,
1212
01:11:11,291 --> 01:11:13,375
"Oh, see, I've achieved this,
I've achieved that."
1213
01:11:13,458 --> 01:11:16,958
"I've built this empire.
I've got a bungalow, a mansion, a car."
1214
01:11:17,666 --> 01:11:20,000
When God decides, it'll happen.
1215
01:11:20,083 --> 01:11:22,583
And if He decides it won't,
it won't happen.
1216
01:11:23,666 --> 01:11:26,750
Whatever projects, songs,
or films that happen,
1217
01:11:26,833 --> 01:11:28,541
documentaries that happen,
1218
01:11:28,625 --> 01:11:31,291
have already been written in my story
by the Almighty.
1219
01:11:32,083 --> 01:11:35,458
We're just here… enjoying the ride.
1220
01:11:40,166 --> 01:11:43,958
After so much, I think
Bhaiya also believes the same thing now.
1221
01:11:44,041 --> 01:11:46,291
"We'll handle it. We'll fix it."
1222
01:11:48,208 --> 01:11:49,500
The worry will never go.
1223
01:11:50,500 --> 01:11:51,500
I don't know why.
1224
01:11:52,208 --> 01:11:54,541
What I know is that he's-- he's a fighter.
1225
01:11:55,458 --> 01:11:56,916
And he will fight.
1226
01:11:57,000 --> 01:12:01,500
If he has to come back, not once,
not twice, not thrice,
1227
01:12:01,583 --> 01:12:03,666
he will come back
for the 1,000th time if he has to.
1228
01:12:03,750 --> 01:12:04,708
But he will come back.
1229
01:12:10,791 --> 01:12:13,625
Earlier when I used
to make a song, I knew this will work.
1230
01:12:13,708 --> 01:12:14,583
I used to say it.
1231
01:12:14,666 --> 01:12:16,791
Today, I have 52 songs in my bank,
1232
01:12:16,875 --> 01:12:19,250
and I can't say, "This will work"
about any of them.
1233
01:12:19,333 --> 01:12:22,708
It's not like my confidence is gone.
It's the scene that's changed.
1234
01:12:23,208 --> 01:12:25,416
No song runs for more than two weeks.
1235
01:12:26,208 --> 01:12:28,125
I need to understand this trend.
1236
01:12:28,625 --> 01:12:30,625
When I first entered the industry,
1237
01:12:30,708 --> 01:12:33,208
everyone thought,
"Where did Honey Singh come from?"
1238
01:12:33,708 --> 01:12:36,166
But I had 10 years of homework
behind me then.
1239
01:12:36,958 --> 01:12:39,250
And I've started that same homework again.
1240
01:12:42,291 --> 01:12:44,083
Make some noise!
1241
01:12:47,208 --> 01:12:50,875
If a person disappears from the scene
for seven minutes or seven days,
1242
01:12:50,958 --> 01:12:52,166
people forget about them.
1243
01:12:52,250 --> 01:12:55,458
But even after seven or eight years,
people still remember me,
1244
01:12:55,541 --> 01:12:58,583
they listen to my songs, buy my tickets,
come to watch my shows.
1245
01:12:58,666 --> 01:13:00,791
So, I just gotta keep trying, keep going.
1246
01:13:41,583 --> 01:13:43,958
Earlier you said
this is gonna be your comeback year--
1247
01:13:44,041 --> 01:13:46,083
No, no, no.
This is not the comeback.
1248
01:13:46,166 --> 01:13:48,291
That'll be fucking huge.
1249
01:13:48,375 --> 01:13:51,708
I'll do something that will make the world
go crazy all over again.
1250
01:13:54,083 --> 01:13:55,666
The first shot of Part 2
1251
01:13:55,750 --> 01:13:58,666
will be Dr. Dre and I
sitting in the studio together.
1252
01:13:59,291 --> 01:14:01,333
And it'll fucking happen!
1253
01:14:01,833 --> 01:14:07,541
Honey Singh! Honey Singh! Honey Singh!
1254
01:15:08,500 --> 01:15:11,625
{\an8}I need to turn off the speaker, cameraman.
Please step aside.
1255
01:15:12,208 --> 01:15:14,458
{\an8}This is the button that you push
to shut shop.
1256
01:15:15,166 --> 01:15:16,333
{\an8}And now it's off.
