{\an8}that you had thrown
all of his equipment out about a week ago.

13
00:00:32,416 --> 00:00:34,625
{\an8}- Oh, that's not true.
- [man 1] It's not?

14
00:00:34,708 --> 00:00:36,625

Honey Singh! Honey Singh!

24
00:01:04,250 --> 00:01:06,875
[man 2] When I first saw him,
I knew, "This is the guy."

25
00:01:06,958 --> 00:01:08,708
What we were listening to in that era,

26
00:01:08,791 --> 00:01:10,625
this was different from that,
this was advanced.

27

[man 3] Many people
have seen fame in their lives,

28
00:01:12,708 --> 00:01:14,666
many people have had popularity,

29

Everybody, ready?

31
00:01:18,375 --> 00:01:21,458
[man 4] He moved
the cultural gravity for Indian pop music.

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

00:01:31,291 --> 00:01:33,625
[man 4] He tapped into
that aspirational thing that,

36
00:01:33,708 --> 00:01:35,500
"I'm gonna be a brown guy going abroad,

37

39
00:01:39,500 --> 00:01:43,041
[man 5] His songs were playing
at every club, every wedding.

40
00:01:43,125 --> 00:01:44,458
When a song plays at a wedding,

41
00:01:45,416 --> 00:01:47,041
that's when you know it's a hit.

42
00:01:47,125 --> 00:01:49,000

73
00:03:25,125 --> 00:03:27,458

76
00:03:36,166 --> 00:03:39,041
I had to lock myself up in a room
for seven years, waiting,

"This will happen, that will happen."

78

{\an8}[music fades]

87
00:04:41,958 --> 00:04:45,166
[Honey] My alarm was set for 10:00 a.m.
I've woken up at 1:00 p.m.

88
00:04:45,250 --> 00:04:48,000
In order to function,
I need at least four hours to myself

89
00:04:48,083 --> 00:04:48,958
after I wake up.

90
00:04:49,041 --> 00:04:52,000
I can't meet anyone.
I can't really talk to anyone.

91
00:04:52,083 --> 00:04:55,666
I just keep sort of fading in, slowly.
It's due to all the medication.

92
00:04:55,750 --> 00:04:58,833
Yesterday, I slept at 5:00 in the morning.
Maybe even later than that.

93
00:04:58,916 --> 00:05:00,666
The medication
is such that it knocks me out

94
00:05:00,750 --> 00:05:02,375
and puts me into very deep sleep.

95
00:05:02,458 --> 00:05:04,083
So, sleep is very important for me.

96
00:05:04,166 --> 00:05:07,041
And when I wake up,
its effects are still there.

97
00:05:09,166 --> 00:05:11,458
You know that when I was sick and at home,

98
00:05:11,541 --> 00:05:15,125
I had postponed all my shoots
so that I could work on my fitness again

99
00:05:15,208 --> 00:05:19,208
because my songs were releasing again,
I was making a gradual comeback.

100
00:05:19,291 --> 00:05:21,125
But no one wants a fat Honey Singh.

[man] Two, three, four, five.

102
00:05:25,666 --> 00:05:28,916
[Honey] There was a time
when I had accepted that I'm too old now,

103
00:05:29,416 --> 00:05:30,625
I've become fat,

104
00:05:31,125 --> 00:05:34,416
I won't be able to achieve
the look that my fans want,

105
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.

106
00:05:38,666 --> 00:05:40,083
That's the best thing to do.

107
00:05:42,541 --> 00:05:45,291
My medication is high
on sodium and lithium,

108
00:05:45,375 --> 00:05:48,208
which causes water retention
and makes you put on a lot of weight.

109
00:05:48,291 --> 00:05:50,500
Luckily, my medication
has been reduced now.

110
00:05:51,041 --> 00:05:53,250
And that's why
I'm able to see some results.

111
00:05:54,833 --> 00:05:57,208
[man] While you're on these meds,
I hope you're not drinking.

112
00:05:57,291 --> 00:05:58,916
[Honey] I've almost quit drinking now.

113
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:00,750
- [man] Really?
- Yeah, yeah, really.

114
00:06:02,250 --> 00:06:07,041
I used to smoke up all the time,
20 joints, 12 joints, 15 joints a day.

115
00:06:07,125 --> 00:06:09,500
So, I've kept things in balance
with a lot of difficulty.

116
00:06:09,583 --> 00:06:12,250
I don't wanna play with that.
I don't wanna risk it again.

117
00:06:12,333 --> 00:06:14,791
'Cause I don't want that thing
back in my life again.

118
00:06:18,083 --> 00:06:19,458
Can you see them on camera?

119
00:06:20,125 --> 00:06:23,625
- 'Cause these are my favorites.
- [man] We have to see your abs, please.

120
00:06:23,708 --> 00:06:25,416
The abs aren't ready yet.

121
00:06:25,916 --> 00:06:27,916

Go stand there and shoot me in the mirror.

123
00:06:55,791 --> 00:06:58,041
[Honey] The thing is
when I was sick and at home,

124
00:06:58,125 --> 00:07:00,875
{\an8}I didn't really work for two years,
I didn't even touch my laptop.

125

{\an8}Hello, everyone.

126
00:07:01,916 --> 00:07:03,958
{\an8}I was like,
"I can't write songs right now."

127
00:07:04,041 --> 00:07:05,833
{\an8}"I'm not in control of my mind."

128
00:07:06,500 --> 00:07:09,791
Then Mummy told me
to start as a music producer.

129
00:07:09,875 --> 00:07:12,458
Then I started calling
for vocals from different artists.

130
00:07:13,541 --> 00:07:15,583
I feel like
this is me starting all over again,

131
00:07:15,666 --> 00:07:16,791
as a music producer.

132
00:07:16,875 --> 00:07:17,708

134
00:07:26,375 --> 00:07:30,083
{\an8}[Honey] Millind sent me a demo,
and I felt like it had a lot of potential.

135
00:07:30,166 --> 00:07:31,916
{\an8}The song was made on a trap beat.

136
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:34,291
I haven't written the song,
just written the rap for it.

137
00:07:34,791 --> 00:07:38,666
But I thought,
"Let's-- Let's produce it the old way

138
00:07:38,750 --> 00:07:41,750
like Honey Singh used to produce
on a <i>dhol </i>beat."

139
00:07:41,833 --> 00:07:45,625
"And with the same kind of melodies
and comps and chords."

[man] Back in 2003, he came to my studio.

141
00:07:48,541 --> 00:07:50,375
I heard his songs and I said,

00:07:50,458 --> 00:07:53,916
"Fuck! This is what I want to do."

all my songs by seven months

161
00:08:42,083 --> 00:08:43,625
because I was working on my fitness.

162
00:08:43,708 --> 00:08:44,750
My fitness is ready,

163
00:08:44,833 --> 00:08:47,125
and we're gonna shoot
nine music videos in three months.

164
00:08:47,208 --> 00:08:50,000
It's going to be a new collection
of songs for my fans.

165
00:08:50,500 --> 00:08:52,958
["Paris ka Trip" playing]

166
00:09:07,083 --> 00:09:08,500
[reporter] <i>Good news for his fans!</i>

167
00:09:08,583 --> 00:09:11,750
<i>Yo Yo Honey Singh has finished shooting</i>
<i>for his new music video,</i>

168
00:09:11,833 --> 00:09:14,125
<i>and this song is all set to be released.</i>

169
00:09:14,208 --> 00:09:16,416
Honey Singh is coming
after five, six years.

170
00:09:16,500 --> 00:09:19,500
So, he's trying to come back.
So, he's doing good.

171
00:09:19,583 --> 00:09:21,791
He just fell through the cracks
in between,

172
00:09:21,875 --> 00:09:24,375
and now he's coming back?
It's great for him.

173
00:09:24,458 --> 00:09:26,833
Whether he's gone
or he's come back, he's always there.

174
00:09:26,916 --> 00:09:30,458
So, for me, according to me,
he was never gone.

175
00:09:30,541 --> 00:09:32,416
[song continues]

176
00:09:33,833 --> 00:09:37,875
He's a good producer,
a good deliverer of a certain type of hit,

177
00:09:37,958 --> 00:09:40,333
who has a core audience
that will stick with him forever.

178
00:09:40,416 --> 00:09:41,541
Honey <i>Paaji!</i>

179
00:09:41,625 --> 00:09:44,833
[man] He's reached a level where
he can always continue to put out music.

180
00:09:44,916 --> 00:09:48,166
He'll fill out shows.
You can coast on that for a long time.

181
00:09:48,250 --> 00:09:52,125
{\an8}But Honey's vision is old now.
It's outdated.

182
00:10:02,833 --> 00:10:06,166
[Honey] I've probably been coming here
for the past 25 or 26 years.

183
00:10:06,250 --> 00:10:08,916
I used to walk here,
then I started coming on a cycle.

184
00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:11,666
Then I started using a scooter.
Now, I come in my car.

185
00:10:16,458 --> 00:10:17,708
Fantastic, <i>bhai.</i>

186
00:10:18,916 --> 00:10:21,125
You can only get this in Karampura, man.

187
00:10:25,791 --> 00:10:28,625
This is my place! My city!

188
00:10:29,291 --> 00:10:30,208
My hood!

189
00:10:32,125 --> 00:10:34,250
We used to sit around here, doing nothing.

190
00:10:34,750 --> 00:10:37,333
We were free, both of us.
So, two jobless people met.

191
00:10:37,416 --> 00:10:39,041
And we instantly connected.

192
00:10:39,125 --> 00:10:42,000
Yeah. Since then up till now,
we have a connection.

193
00:10:42,083 --> 00:10:44,291
[man 1] So, sometimes,
he would come on a scooter,

194
00:10:44,375 --> 00:10:46,250
and the scooter wouldn't be clean.

195
00:10:46,333 --> 00:10:48,166
There used to be
a lot of clothes drying here.

196
00:10:48,250 --> 00:10:50,250
{\an8}He'd say, "Give me a rag."
I'd say, "There's no rag."

197
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.

198
00:10:53,833 --> 00:10:55,666
<i>- Namaste, </i>aunty.
- [man 2] Come, come.

199
00:10:57,250 --> 00:10:58,083
Let's go inside.

200
00:10:58,166 --> 00:11:00,375
Even if it was
somebody's underwear or a towel.

201
00:11:00,875 --> 00:11:01,958
Or someone's bra.

202
00:11:05,250 --> 00:11:06,666
{\an8}- Mozez <i>bhai.</i>
- [Mozez] Yeah?

203
00:11:06,750 --> 00:11:08,750
{\an8}This is where we used to sit every day.

204
00:11:08,833 --> 00:11:11,583
{\an8}And what happened one day
was this guy got jaundice.

205
00:11:12,083 --> 00:11:14,916
Okay, so because of jaundice,
he got leave from school.

206
00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:16,416
So, he was at home, resting.

207
00:11:16,958 --> 00:11:20,625
I used to bring a bottle of beer,
tucked under my shirt, like this.

208
00:11:21,250 --> 00:11:22,333
Just like this, yeah.

209
00:11:22,833 --> 00:11:24,958
Then I'd hide it here under the sofa.

210
00:11:25,041 --> 00:11:27,541
And we'd make him drink beer
while he had jaundice.

211
00:11:27,625 --> 00:11:30,000
Ah! I found out today because he told me.

212
00:11:30,083 --> 00:11:33,250
[Mozez] Oh, really? So, then, today,
you should give him a slap. No?

213
00:11:33,333 --> 00:11:36,291
- No, no.
- [Mozez] Wow! How many years? 25 years?

214
00:11:36,375 --> 00:11:38,958
- 25 years.
- 25-26 years.

215
00:11:39,041 --> 00:11:40,625
- Let's go.
- Yeah, okay.

216
00:11:40,708 --> 00:11:43,541
[Honey] Those were the days
when we would roam the streets carefree,

217
00:11:43,625 --> 00:11:47,750
and everyone knew me back then,
and everyone knows me today as well.

218
00:11:47,833 --> 00:11:49,833
[soft music playing]

219
00:11:52,166 --> 00:11:54,875
[man] Sir! Sir! Honey sir! Sir, sir.

220
00:11:54,958 --> 00:11:58,375
- Sir! Honey sir!
- [woman] Honey sir! Sir, hi!

221
00:11:58,458 --> 00:12:01,083
[Rohit] She's the girl
who has posters of you all over her room.

222
00:12:01,166 --> 00:12:03,083
- [Honey] Oh, this is that girl?
- [Rohit] Yeah.

223
00:12:03,166 --> 00:12:04,666
Hi, sir. Hi.

224
00:12:05,666 --> 00:12:07,833
I love you, sir.
Please let me shake your hand.

225
00:12:07,916 --> 00:12:10,916
Come on. Come on, it's photo time.
Let's take a selfie, come on.

226
00:12:15,083 --> 00:12:16,333
Okay? Thank you.

227
00:12:16,416 --> 00:12:17,833
Take care. All the best.

228
00:12:17,916 --> 00:12:18,875
Thank you, sir!

229
00:12:18,958 --> 00:12:22,625
Oh, I love you so much!
I really love you so much.

230
00:12:22,708 --> 00:12:26,875
All the best for every time, every song.
Your song is always the best song.

231
00:12:26,958 --> 00:12:28,125
Come here. Come here.

232
00:12:29,208 --> 00:12:32,041
[singing "Blue Eyes"]

233
00:12:44,375 --> 00:12:45,666
{\an8}Love you, take care.

234
00:12:45,750 --> 00:12:47,250
{\an8}["Blue Eyes" playing]

235
00:12:53,541 --> 00:12:54,625
[song ends]

236
00:12:55,708 --> 00:12:57,458
{\an8}This is the house where I was born,

237
00:12:57,541 --> 00:13:01,041
{\an8}and this is where I spent
my childhood and my youth.

238
00:13:01,541 --> 00:13:04,000
I used to sit right here
when I was a little kid,

239
00:13:04,083 --> 00:13:06,916
and Mummy used to keep singing
while she cooked food for us.

240
00:13:07,541 --> 00:13:09,458
Papa was always listening to music.

241
00:13:09,541 --> 00:13:11,791
There was different music
playing throughout the house.

242
00:13:11,875 --> 00:13:14,125
Papa used to listen
to vinyl records back then.

243
00:13:14,208 --> 00:13:16,458
So, in a way, it was he
who pushed me towards music.

244
00:13:16,541 --> 00:13:19,125
He spoiled me. If he didn't make me
listen to so much music,

245
00:13:19,208 --> 00:13:21,000
if he didn't play
Mohammed Rafi or R.D. Burman,

246
00:13:21,083 --> 00:13:24,583
I wouldn't have been exposed to music.
I wouldn't have had this music sense.

247
00:13:26,541 --> 00:13:30,041
As a child, whatever he used to like,
those were the same things I liked.

248
00:13:30,125 --> 00:13:32,250
{\an8}So, I would fulfill my dreams through him.

249
00:13:32,333 --> 00:13:35,708
{\an8}I really wanted to be a singer,
but, sadly, my parents didn't allow it.

250
00:13:35,791 --> 00:13:38,708
{\an8}So, I put all my energy into him.

251
00:13:39,208 --> 00:13:40,833
{\an8}Go ahead. Live your dreams.

252
00:13:40,916 --> 00:13:43,750
{\an8}He would object to it,
and I would help him secretly.

253
00:13:46,625 --> 00:13:48,666
[woman ] Looking at this picture,
it seems like <i>Bhaiya</i>

254
00:13:48,750 --> 00:13:50,833
has taken exactly after you. Right?

255
00:13:50,916 --> 00:13:53,750
[Bhupinder] What do you mean "seems like"?
Of course, he has.

256
00:13:53,833 --> 00:13:57,250
This, I think, was <i>Bhaiya's </i>31st birthday.

257
00:13:57,333 --> 00:14:00,333
"I decided to write down
31 reasons why I love you."

258
00:14:00,416 --> 00:14:03,791
"Well, honestly, this is not for you.
This is for your kids."

259
00:14:04,291 --> 00:14:07,291
"And I really want them to know
how amazing their father is."

260
00:14:07,375 --> 00:14:09,250
{\an8}So, whenever…

261
00:14:09,333 --> 00:14:10,333
{\an8}Don't cry.

262
00:14:12,458 --> 00:14:17,166
So, whenever <i>Bhaiya </i>has kids,
I think they should read this.

263
00:14:17,250 --> 00:14:19,833
And the first reason I've written is,

264
00:14:19,916 --> 00:14:23,416
"Thank you for giving us
this beautiful and dignified life."

265
00:14:23,500 --> 00:14:24,375
- Right?
- Hmm.

266
00:14:24,458 --> 00:14:27,250
Because… we are very proud of him.

267
00:14:27,333 --> 00:14:28,666
- Right, Papa?
- Of course.

268
00:14:28,750 --> 00:14:30,750
[sitar music playing]

269
00:14:37,333 --> 00:14:39,458
[Honey] Papa and I
didn't see eye to eye back then.

270
00:14:39,541 --> 00:14:42,750
Papa thought that I'd finish my BSc
and take over his business,

271
00:14:42,833 --> 00:14:43,958
which I didn't want to do.

272
00:14:44,041 --> 00:14:47,125
So, that was a difficult time for Papa
and a difficult time for me too.

273
00:14:47,208 --> 00:14:50,125
I couldn't help my father
because I wanted to do something else.

274
00:14:50,208 --> 00:14:51,458
I wanted to do music.

275
00:14:51,541 --> 00:14:52,416
I was focused.

276
00:14:52,500 --> 00:14:55,125
But it was a tough time for both of us.

277
00:14:56,125 --> 00:15:00,291
{\an8}[Sneha] I still remember
it was the War of DJ Awards.

278
00:15:00,375 --> 00:15:03,708
Papa had no idea that <i>Bhaiya</i>
is, you know, competing in this.

279
00:15:03,791 --> 00:15:06,416
We kept sitting outside,
waiting for him, till noon.

280
00:15:06,500 --> 00:15:08,875
And then he came back at around 2 a.m.

281
00:15:08,958 --> 00:15:12,125
All his friends came with <i>dhols </i>and then…

282
00:15:12,208 --> 00:15:13,125
We were very happy.

283
00:15:13,208 --> 00:15:14,833
[Bhupinder] His father was the happiest.

284
00:15:14,916 --> 00:15:17,291
Honey asked him,
"I hope you won't stop me now."

285
00:15:17,375 --> 00:15:21,083
And he said, "No, I won't stop you.
You go. Go and live your life."

{\an8}[man] It was 2003. Honey was coming up.

288
00:15:28,083 --> 00:15:30,458
{\an8}He had just started
making beats at that time.

289
00:15:30,541 --> 00:15:32,583
{\an8}He saw me at a club one day, rapping.

290
00:15:32,666 --> 00:15:36,250
{\an8}So, we met. The vibe was great.
He said, "Let's hit the studio."

[up-tempo music playing]

292
00:15:39,125 --> 00:15:40,708
[Honey] I was just a music producer.

293
00:15:40,791 --> 00:15:43,291
I never wanted to sing,
I never wanted to write.

294
00:15:43,375 --> 00:15:44,958
I didn't even know how to write a song.

295
00:15:45,041 --> 00:15:47,958
- [Pinaki] Uh, it's mellow. It's mellow.
- First, rehearse it.

296
00:15:48,041 --> 00:15:50,708
Right now, the thing is
the lyrics aren't clear in your head.

297
00:15:50,791 --> 00:15:53,708
First, rehearse them. Then after that,
you can put your level up.

298
00:15:53,791 --> 00:15:55,041
- Okay, do it.
- [Honey] All right?

299

[Pinaki and Honey singing]

301
00:15:59,458 --> 00:16:03,208
[Pinaki] He's hard-working,
really hard-working, and really quick.

302
00:16:03,291 --> 00:16:06,166
He'd come carrying
a CPU in his hand, his own CPU.

303
00:16:06,250 --> 00:16:07,416
Dude was amazing.

304
00:16:07,500 --> 00:16:09,833
That's how we started.
We were like, "Is that a CPU?"

305
00:16:09,916 --> 00:16:11,625
He'd go, "Yeah, yeah, it's all good."

306
00:16:11,708 --> 00:16:13,833
"You can plug it
wherever the fuck you want."

307
00:16:13,916 --> 00:16:18,875
This is my CPU that I've had since 2006.

308
00:16:19,375 --> 00:16:20,541
It has a handle on it.

309
00:16:21,583 --> 00:16:26,083
On this, I had Acid Pro, FruityLoops,
Reason Propellerhead, Cubase.

310
00:16:26,166 --> 00:16:27,791
I used to work on all these softwares.

311
00:16:27,875 --> 00:16:31,541
This is the first Audigy 2 sound card
that I ever bought.

312
00:16:31,625 --> 00:16:36,250
People, uh, kids who understand
sound engineering and musicians,

313
00:16:36,333 --> 00:16:38,791
they would be familiar
with what a sound card is.

314
00:16:38,875 --> 00:16:41,583
For my first few recordings,
I used this machine.

315
00:16:42,083 --> 00:16:44,166
There used to be
a huge trunk kept right here.

316
00:16:44,666 --> 00:16:47,000
And on top of that, I would put my CPU.

317
00:16:47,500 --> 00:16:50,916
And I produced "Khadke Glassy"
sitting right here, in this room.

318
00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:52,625
And I-- And I mixed the track here,

319
00:16:52,708 --> 00:16:55,250

00:25:36,958 --> 00:25:38,833
Please don't laugh
when you see what I'm wearing.

480
00:25:38,916 --> 00:25:42,583
{\an8}I'll be doing some really weird stuff
in this video.

{\an8}[indistinct chatter]

482
00:25:45,791 --> 00:25:49,083
[Honey] "Designer" is the second song
in my comeback plan

483
00:25:49,166 --> 00:25:51,708
after "Paris ka Trip,"
which was younger and peppier.

484
00:25:51,791 --> 00:25:54,041
But "Designer" is back
with the old Honey Singh scale.

485
00:25:54,125 --> 00:25:59,250
It's, like, grand, grand visuals
with an amazing artist, Guru Randhawa.

486
00:25:59,333 --> 00:26:02,041
It's Guru's idea,
which I have expressed in my music

487
00:26:02,125 --> 00:26:04,791
and which Mihir will depict
in his visuals today.

488
00:26:05,291 --> 00:26:07,791
And me saying that,
"Make me your designer…"

489
00:26:07,875 --> 00:26:10,041
{\an8}- Me also saying that, "Make me your…"
- "Designer."

491
00:26:11,500 --> 00:26:13,291
{\an8}We made this song in 2020.

492
00:26:13,375 --> 00:26:14,833
{\an8}- Yeah.
- Now we're shooting in '22.

to lose weight, to look good.

494
00:26:18,083 --> 00:26:20,541
- I said--
- No, <i>paaji, </i>we waited…

495
00:26:20,625 --> 00:26:21,666
You waited for us.

496
00:26:21,750 --> 00:26:23,708
- To give us a chance on this music.
- No way.

497
00:26:23,791 --> 00:26:26,875
You waited for us.
I remember I was in, uh, college.

498
00:26:26,958 --> 00:26:29,583
And, uh, <i>bhai</i>
had a show going on that day.

499
00:26:29,666 --> 00:26:32,666
Obviously, I couldn't get tickets
for that show,

500
00:26:32,750 --> 00:26:34,500
but I saw <i>bhai </i>and came back.

501
00:26:34,583 --> 00:26:37,375
But today, uh,
I'm getting to work with him.

502
00:26:37,458 --> 00:26:41,583
So, I'm really, really having a lot of fun
and I'm feeling very proud.

503
00:26:41,666 --> 00:26:44,291
This song demanded some good music.

504
00:26:44,375 --> 00:26:46,250
So, I've created music for this song.

505
00:26:46,333 --> 00:26:49,750
I didn't just make a beat for it.
I didn't just program the groove.

506
00:26:49,833 --> 00:26:52,416
I've programmed everything
and the drop especially.

Thank you, sir!

531
00:28:55,541 --> 00:28:58,500
[Honey] People love me.
That's why I'm Yo Yo Honey Singh today.

Even these kids from the streets
still recognize me

533
00:29:00,791 --> 00:29:02,041
because they have all loved me.

534
00:29:02,125 --> 00:29:04,583
There are some people
who have accused me and defamed me,

535
00:29:04,666 --> 00:29:07,541
saying, "This guy makes vulgar songs."

536
00:29:07,625 --> 00:29:09,625
If I made vulgar songs,
would people have called me

537
00:29:09,708 --> 00:29:11,791
to their sisters' weddings
to perform for them?

538
00:29:11,875 --> 00:29:14,208
Would they invite me
to perform at their daughters' weddings?

539
00:29:14,291 --> 00:29:16,875
I sing all the songs
that I'm known for there.

540
00:29:16,958 --> 00:29:20,708
From "Enna Vina Dope Shope Maare"
to "Aunty Police Bulalegi" to everything.

541
00:29:20,791 --> 00:29:24,000
And they go mad. They go wild on them.

542
00:29:24,875 --> 00:29:27,000
[Mozez] Are you apologetic
about any of it?

543
00:29:27,500 --> 00:29:28,375
None of it.

544
00:29:29,416 --> 00:29:30,416
None of it.

545

{\an8}[Mozez] Tell me which is the song

546

548
00:29:39,041 --> 00:29:41,166
[Mozez] "Blue Eyes"?
You all keep saying the same song.

00:29:41,250 --> 00:29:43,875
What was the one with Shah Rukh,
the Shah Rukh one?

- "Lungi Dance."

[woman] "Brown Rang!"

552
00:29:48,875 --> 00:29:50,416

- [woman] I… [chuckles]
- That's my favorite song.

554
00:29:53,125 --> 00:29:54,625

Whoa!

559
00:30:12,125 --> 00:30:14,166
No, but I like "Brown Mundey."

560
00:30:14,666 --> 00:30:16,291
[Honey] That's not even my song!

561
00:30:16,375 --> 00:30:17,541
- [all laugh]
- Really?

562
00:30:17,625 --> 00:30:19,791
- [Honey] "Brown Rang."
- "Brown Rang," right.

563
00:30:20,291 --> 00:30:21,416
Yeah, "Brown Mundey."

564
00:30:21,500 --> 00:30:24,166
So, I'm gonna listen to
Honey Singh's song tomorrow and--

565
00:30:24,250 --> 00:30:26,625
She's not my fan at all, okay? <i>Khalaas!</i>

[Honey sighing]

567
00:30:31,125 --> 00:30:32,208
Today, I'm having fun.

568
00:30:32,291 --> 00:30:34,500
There are so many girls…
so many girls to interact with.

569
00:30:34,583 --> 00:30:37,125
Yesterday and the day before,
it was very subtle.

570
00:30:37,208 --> 00:30:39,208
If I'd jumped around there,
it would've looked weird.

571
00:30:39,291 --> 00:30:40,666
Who jumps around in a fashion show?

572
00:30:40,750 --> 00:30:43,875
I've already performed in a fashion show.
It was for the Miss India pageant.

573
00:30:43,958 --> 00:30:45,083
I was on the jury too.

574
00:30:45,583 --> 00:30:47,750
When I performed there…
Check out my performance there.

575
00:30:47,833 --> 00:30:50,333
It's completely different
from all my other performances.

576
00:30:50,416 --> 00:30:52,541
I was just like that, very subtle.

577
00:30:52,625 --> 00:30:54,541
Girls were moving around
and all that stuff.

578
00:30:56,500 --> 00:31:00,125
[Mozez] This Miss India performance,
that happened after the <i>Nirbhaya </i>incident.

579
00:31:00,208 --> 00:31:02,041
2014. Yeah.

580
00:31:02,125 --> 00:31:03,916
[Mozez] When did
the <i>Nirbhaya </i>thing happen?

581
00:31:04,000 --> 00:31:05,041
2012.

582
00:31:05,791 --> 00:31:09,458
[Mozez] Fuck! It's already been
ten years since it happened?

583
00:31:09,541 --> 00:31:11,208
We were reading about it and we were like,

584
00:31:11,291 --> 00:31:13,666
"Okay, on the one hand,
all of this is happening,

585
00:31:13,750 --> 00:31:16,916
and on the other hand, he's still
performing at Miss India." It was weird.

586
00:31:17,000 --> 00:31:19,458
But what-- What's the <i>Nirbhaya </i>case
got to do with me?

587
00:31:19,541 --> 00:31:22,666
Why did you mention
the <i>Nirbhaya </i>case in this conversation?

588
00:31:22,750 --> 00:31:25,375
You should have started the conversation
with the "Balatkaari" song.

589
00:31:25,458 --> 00:31:27,375
[Mozez] 'Cause the controversy
started after that.

590
00:31:27,458 --> 00:31:30,083
Whatever it is! But why is my name
being mentioned with <i>Nirbhaya?</i>

591
00:31:30,166 --> 00:31:31,125
[Mozez] Correct.

592
00:31:31,208 --> 00:31:33,791
But "Main Hoon Balatkaari"
existed before <i>Nirbhaya</i>.

593
00:31:33,875 --> 00:31:35,416
But that's not my song either.

594
00:31:35,500 --> 00:31:38,041
[Mozez] At that time,
no one had made that connection, Honey.

595
00:31:38,125 --> 00:31:39,833
Yeah, but I still got dragged in.

00:33:50,875 --> 00:33:52,833
{\an8}This is society itself.

640
00:33:53,833 --> 00:33:56,416
{\an8}People like blaming artists.
We're used to it.

641
00:33:56,500 --> 00:33:59,666
{\an8}We already know that
people will talk no matter what we do.

642
00:33:59,750 --> 00:34:03,000
{\an8}But the whole family gets abused, man.

643
00:34:03,083 --> 00:34:04,791
We used to get threats.

644
00:34:04,875 --> 00:34:09,875
People used to say, "We--
We'll shoot him whenever we see him."

645

"Mafia Mundeer,"
which is Badshah, Honey Singh,

{\an8}The world belongs to them.

We also did stupid things.
We were all young. We were kids.

We were growing up,

{\an8}"I'll take your pussy with me today."

674
00:35:44,458 --> 00:35:46,708
{\an8}[in English] So, basically,
they're saying,

{\an8}"I'm going to fuck you,
and my dick has prepared itself for that."

676

"So, you know, my manhood is dependent
on the fact that I'm going to fuck you."

677
00:35:55,208 --> 00:35:57,583
It's very aggressive, very, like, sort of,

678

like, bordering on violent
in terms of its imagery.

679
00:36:02,875 --> 00:36:06,541
It's not just about women
or how it makes them feel.

680
00:36:06,625 --> 00:36:07,958
It's also about the fact that

681
00:36:08,041 --> 00:36:10,708
where is the man
who's writing this coming from?

682
00:36:10,791 --> 00:36:12,333

The song is not mine.

- No, it's not.

696

A lot of artists have horrible songs

stuck around
somewhere on their hard disks.

698
00:36:45,875 --> 00:36:47,000
For me, the bigger problem

699
00:36:47,083 --> 00:36:49,916
is not that he did a song like "Choot,"
which is awful,

700
00:36:50,000 --> 00:36:52,125
but also, I don't think,
intended for mass release.

701
00:36:52,208 --> 00:36:53,750
The issue is that, like,

702
00:36:53,833 --> 00:36:58,625
the sort of attitudes
that are visible on that song,

703
00:36:58,708 --> 00:37:01,958
it's the same idea of what role
women play in their music.

704
00:37:02,041 --> 00:37:03,583
It's a little more grown up,

705
00:37:03,666 --> 00:37:06,875
less in your face, less raw version
of the same sort of thinking.

715
00:37:35,583 --> 00:37:37,208
We've grown up listening to Honey's music.

716
00:37:37,291 --> 00:37:39,750
His songs sound nice
because he's creating something.

["First Kiss" playing]

718
00:37:42,833 --> 00:37:45,000
[Sumati] When you listen
to a song like this,

719
00:37:45,083 --> 00:37:48,291
and it comes from
this immense source of star power,

720
00:37:48,375 --> 00:37:52,125
when that gives it validation that,
"Hey, Honey Singh is singing this song."

721
00:37:52,208 --> 00:37:55,083
"Look at where he's reached
singing songs like this."

I just wanted to work.

724
00:37:58,208 --> 00:38:01,291
I made this decision when I was shooting
the "Dope Shope" music video.

725

["Dope Shope" playing]

726

So I used to see girls in Delhi
who were smoking weed.

00:38:14,750 --> 00:38:17,833
I saw them dancing to this song
called "Tonight I'm fucking you"

729
00:38:19,625 --> 00:38:22,583
So, I was like,
"If this guy is writing such bold lyrics,

730
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,

731
00:38:28,125 --> 00:38:31,041
he's doing all this and the girls
are loving it and they're smoking up,

732
00:38:31,125 --> 00:38:32,166
so should I try this too?"

733
00:38:32,750 --> 00:38:34,541
So, I also shot on a video on a yacht.

734
00:38:34,625 --> 00:38:37,916
If you watch the "Dope Shope" video,
you'll see girls wearing skimpy clothes,

00:38:38,000 --> 00:38:39,916
there's dancing going on and all that.

736
00:38:40,000 --> 00:38:42,625
I did it. People accepted it.
People really liked it.

737
00:38:42,708 --> 00:38:46,083
So, I tried it, and it worked out.
So, then I kept on doing it.

738
00:38:47,958 --> 00:38:50,625
They all say,
"This is what the audience wants,"

739
00:38:50,708 --> 00:38:54,000
which is the worst cop out. Ever.

740
00:38:54,666 --> 00:38:56,583
[Mozez] Why? But it is what they want.

741
00:38:56,666 --> 00:39:00,750
Yes, and so then are you an artist
or are you a supplier?

802
00:41:50,708 --> 00:41:52,875

Gradually, I developed symptoms

803
00:41:53,500 --> 00:41:56,500
of suspicion and paranoia,

804
00:41:56,583 --> 00:41:58,458
that someone's conspiring against me,

805
00:41:58,541 --> 00:42:01,250
someone's going to frame me,
something weird like that.

806
00:42:01,333 --> 00:42:02,916
Maybe they'll file a case against me.

807
00:42:03,000 --> 00:42:05,125
I didn't really understand
what was happening with me.

808
00:42:05,208 --> 00:42:06,291
Why was I feeling like this?

809
00:42:06,375 --> 00:42:08,291
It was 4:00…

810
00:42:09,250 --> 00:42:12,041
It was 3:00 a.m. here in India
and he was in the US,

811
00:42:12,125 --> 00:42:14,166
and he was supposed
to go for his sound check.

812
00:42:14,250 --> 00:42:16,250
He messaged me, "I'm not feeling okay."

813
00:42:16,875 --> 00:42:19,125

[somber music playing]

815
00:42:21,833 --> 00:42:23,666
I was in my room. He messaged again,

816
00:42:23,750 --> 00:42:26,333
"Something's not right with me.
See what I'm doing."

817
00:42:26,416 --> 00:42:27,708
I said, <i>"Bhai, </i>what happened?"

He said, "Can you come on Skype?"
I said, "Yes."

819
00:42:30,375 --> 00:42:31,875
And then he said that…

00:42:31,958 --> 00:42:34,500
- "Please bring me back."
- [Sneha] "Please just save me."

"Because, see,
this is what he's sending me."

828

"He just said that he's not feeling okay.
Something bad is happening."

829
00:43:00,708 --> 00:43:03,208
His body wasn't allowing it,
nor was his mind.

And, for three hours,

831
00:43:06,708 --> 00:43:08,375
we had no contact with them.

832
00:43:09,166 --> 00:43:13,208
Then, three hours later,
I got news that he's in the hospital.

833

When they took me along
for the Chicago show,

844

I said, "I don't wanna do this show."

I said, "I'm not going."

853
00:44:03,333 --> 00:44:06,541
I went to the washroom, took a trimmer,
and I shaved my hair off.

I said, "How can I perform now?"
They said, "Wear a cap and perform."

"I'm not performing today!"

There was a coffee mug lying there.
I picked it up and smashed it on my head.

That day, I think I was very assertive
and I said, "Bring him back."

If anything happens to him,
there's no point.

Along with that,
I had some psychotic symptoms too.

never see my parents again,

I was reduced to nothing in front of them.

Now, they understand
what this illness is about.

935

from this doctor
to that doctor to this doctor.

938
00:48:21,333 --> 00:48:25,750
He came and told us himself,
"I need your help. Get a doctor." He--

939
00:48:25,833 --> 00:48:27,708
He said, "I don't understand
what is happening--"

"I don't understand
what is happening to me."

"I really need-- I want a doctor."

942
00:48:32,000 --> 00:48:36,583
The day he accepted that,
"These are my symptoms,

943
00:48:36,666 --> 00:48:40,166
these are my thoughts,
I have to work on them,"

944
00:48:40,250 --> 00:48:44,958
that day was actually, you know,
when we saw improvement in his health.

945
00:48:45,041 --> 00:48:49,041
So, that took us a long time
to reach there, to that point.

946

His long hair. His face looks bloated.

965
00:49:57,500 --> 00:49:58,833
His thought process was like,

966
00:49:58,916 --> 00:50:02,458
"I don't think my fans, my people,
will accept me the way I look."

967
00:50:02,541 --> 00:50:04,375

"Now I'm going to compose music

00:59:23,750 --> 00:59:25,666
with all the controversies
that were happening.

1122
00:59:26,250 --> 00:59:28,666
So, yeah, it was a difficult time.

00:59:39,666 --> 00:59:42,041
[reporter 4] <i>There has been</i>

1129
00:59:48,916 --> 00:59:51,375
{\an8}[Mozez] Do you want to talk
a bit about the divorce, Honey?

1130
00:59:51,458 --> 00:59:53,208
{\an8}You want to tell me what happened?

1131
00:59:53,791 --> 00:59:57,416
[Honey] We've both signed an MoU,
so we can't talk about it.

1132
00:59:57,500 --> 01:00:00,208
But I wish her all the best in her life.

1133
01:00:01,041 --> 01:00:03,208
I wish she has a great life ahead.

1134
01:00:03,916 --> 01:00:06,500
It's like I said before, right?
It's all a circle.

1135
01:00:06,583 --> 01:00:08,500
Life's right here within this circle.

1136
01:00:09,541 --> 01:00:12,208
This circle, it keeps turning,
keeps coming back

1137
01:00:12,291 --> 01:00:13,875
and everything finds balance.

1138
01:00:13,958 --> 01:00:15,458
You keep reaping what you sow.

1139
01:00:15,541 --> 01:00:18,166
Like the old saying,
"What goes around comes around."

1140
01:00:19,041 --> 01:00:20,958
And I believe in this.

1141

{\an8}[Honey] Sir, I was born ready
for everything, okay?

1155
01:01:24,208 --> 01:01:26,250
I'm ready for hits. I'm ready for flops.

- I still really like his old songs.
- I'm a little disappointed by him.

Uh, bring back the old you.

1186
01:03:07,000 --> 01:03:10,708
Not exactly at the top of his game,
but he's going to get there soon.

1187
01:03:10,791 --> 01:03:12,833
I feel that
since he's climbed that ladder before,

1188
01:03:12,916 --> 01:03:16,500
since he's already done that,
he won't be able to climb that high again.

[soft music playing]

1193
01:04:05,666 --> 01:04:08,916
[Honey] My audience from ten years ago
were all young back then.

1194
01:04:09,000 --> 01:04:13,041
When I wrote songs about alcohol,
"Let's smoke up," and all of that,

1195
01:04:13,125 --> 01:04:14,625
they used to enjoy it.

1196
01:04:14,708 --> 01:04:16,125
Now, they're all married.

1197
01:04:16,208 --> 01:04:18,000
If I make songs like "Manali Trance,"

1198
01:04:18,083 --> 01:04:20,166
they're not gonna
let their kids listen to it.

1199
01:04:20,250 --> 01:04:22,416
I don't wanna do all that gangsta stuff.

1200
01:04:22,500 --> 01:04:25,125
When I was younger, I sang songs
like "Panga" and all of those.

1201
01:04:25,208 --> 01:04:27,375
But now that's the only thing
people expect from me.

1202
01:04:27,458 --> 01:04:29,416
So, I just don't know what I should do.

1203
01:04:30,416 --> 01:04:33,125
I don't feel like it.
I don't know. I'll see.

1204
01:04:33,208 --> 01:04:36,083
If this whole thing doesn't work,
then I'll write and sing those songs,

1205
01:04:36,166 --> 01:04:38,083
if that's all they wanna hear from me.

1206
01:04:40,000 --> 01:04:42,125
[Sneha] <i>I think he has</i>
<i>a very good understanding</i>

1207
01:04:42,208 --> 01:04:44,166
<i>that he has to change with time.</i>

1208
01:04:44,250 --> 01:04:47,833
<i>And in all these years,</i>
<i>we have seen that change in him.</i>

1209
01:04:49,416 --> 01:04:52,708
[man] He's had time to kinda reflect on it
and do all those things.

1210
01:04:52,791 --> 01:04:55,500
So maybe there'll be an understanding
or a shift in all that stuff.

1211
01:04:55,583 --> 01:04:57,750
But, to me, I think
it's part of an artist's journey.

1212
01:04:57,833 --> 01:05:01,500
{\an8}It's taking everything that's going on
around him in the community and society,

1213
01:05:01,583 --> 01:05:05,208
{\an8}and how they navigate that to their music
and how they push that forward.

1214
01:05:05,291 --> 01:05:06,958
{\an8}Man, that's being an artist.

- What are you making?
- [Sarabjit] <i>Kadai </i>chicken.

- Want some?
- Make me some green juice.

No, Papa, I won't have this.
Manish, make me some green juice.

[Sarabjit] This is new.

1227
01:05:54,666 --> 01:05:55,666
Somebody's changed.

1228
01:05:56,625 --> 01:05:59,625
- [Bhupinder] Did you have anything?
- [Honey] He's making me a green juice.

1229
01:05:59,708 --> 01:06:01,833
Green juice? You don't want momos?

1230
01:06:01,916 --> 01:06:03,500
- No, I don't feel like it.
- Why?

1231
01:06:03,583 --> 01:06:05,166
- I'll have some later.
- Okay.

1232
01:06:08,791 --> 01:06:11,041
- Get me some water, Manish.
- [Bhupinder] What?

1233
01:06:12,666 --> 01:06:13,791
Get him some water.

1234
01:06:13,875 --> 01:06:15,958
[soft music playing]

1235
01:06:30,791 --> 01:06:32,333
- Was it nice?
- Listen, uh…

1236
01:06:32,875 --> 01:06:34,833
Give me just two pieces of that chicken.

1237
01:06:34,916 --> 01:06:37,000
- Get the chicken.
- The chicken that Papa's made.

1238
01:06:38,375 --> 01:06:40,416
This would've been amazing with a <i>roti</i>.

1239
01:06:45,833 --> 01:06:47,583
Man, this is delicious.

1240
01:06:47,666 --> 01:06:51,833
[Bhupinder] He's had a wish for a while
that he wants to adopt a child.

1241
01:06:51,916 --> 01:06:53,083
A daughter.

1242
01:06:53,166 --> 01:06:55,416
And he talks to me about it all the time.

1243
01:06:55,500 --> 01:06:58,458
And I'm like,
"Yeah, okay, let's adopt one."

1244
01:07:00,666 --> 01:07:02,791
[Honey] The date
hasn't been announced yet?

1245
01:07:02,875 --> 01:07:06,000
Yeah, because I have a show
on the 19th, so…

1246
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.

1247
01:07:09,708 --> 01:07:11,375
I'm going to America now, right?

1248
01:07:11,458 --> 01:07:13,708
We have a corporate show on the 10th.

1249
01:07:14,416 --> 01:07:18,791
So, it's gonna be 75% foreigners
and 25% Indians.

1250
01:07:22,958 --> 01:07:24,333
Okay, okay. Okay, bye.

1251
01:07:26,750 --> 01:07:28,875
[Bhupinder]
Oh-ho-ho, it's raining heavily.

1252
01:07:29,458 --> 01:07:30,458
Bye.

1253
01:07:47,541 --> 01:07:50,666
So, we flew into Chicago
and the show was the next day.

1254
01:07:51,916 --> 01:07:54,416
As we were exiting the airport,
I saw a signboard.

1255
01:07:54,500 --> 01:07:56,041
A signboard that said "Chicago Loop."

1256
01:07:57,375 --> 01:07:59,666
Something clicked for me.
I was like, "Fuck, loop?"

1257
01:08:00,750 --> 01:08:05,208
I started thinking which city was I in
when I had to leave the SLAM Tour?

1258
01:08:05,291 --> 01:08:06,916
I was like, "Fuck, it was Chicago!"

1259
01:08:07,666 --> 01:08:08,791
We go to the hotel, sir.

1260
01:08:09,750 --> 01:08:11,416
I told Indo,
"Bro, this is the same hotel."

1261
01:08:11,500 --> 01:08:14,041
He said, "What same hotel?
We're coming here for the first time."

1262
01:08:14,125 --> 01:08:16,083
I said, "Remember
when we came here nine years ago,

1263
01:08:16,166 --> 01:08:17,833
when all that shit went down?"

1264
01:08:17,916 --> 01:08:19,666
You won't believe it,
but when I went inside,

1265
01:08:19,750 --> 01:08:21,166
my suite was the same as well.

1266
01:08:21,250 --> 01:08:22,666
The same TV was hanging there.

1267
01:08:22,750 --> 01:08:26,916
I could see the spot where I made
a Skype call to my mother and sister,

1268
01:08:27,000 --> 01:08:29,083
crying, saying that,
"I don't want to do this show."

1269
01:08:29,166 --> 01:08:32,041
I felt like I'd suddenly gone
nine years back in time.

1270
01:08:32,125 --> 01:08:35,416
I said, "No.
The man up there is testing me."

1271
01:08:35,500 --> 01:08:37,625
I woke up the next day,
everything was normal.

1272
01:08:37,708 --> 01:08:39,916
It was the day of the show.
I woke up at 3:00 p.m.

1273
01:08:40,000 --> 01:08:42,416
But as we got
closer and closer to showtime,

1274
01:08:42,500 --> 01:08:45,125
I started getting anxiety all over again.

1275
01:08:45,208 --> 01:08:48,958
I started getting bad thoughts again,
that today is the day.

1276
01:08:49,041 --> 01:08:51,916
Back then, I had escaped death,
but today, I'm going to die for sure.

1277
01:08:52,875 --> 01:08:55,041
It had to happen in Chicago.

1278
01:08:55,833 --> 01:08:56,791
I was trimming my beard,

1279
01:08:56,875 --> 01:08:59,833
and I kept getting flashbacks
of when I was shaving my head.

1280
01:09:00,708 --> 01:09:04,125
My hand kept going up,
"Should I shave my head again today?"

1281
01:09:04,208 --> 01:09:05,875
I couldn't figure out what I needed to do.

1282
01:09:05,958 --> 01:09:08,666
I sat in my car,
and I called my doctor straight away.

1283
01:09:09,375 --> 01:09:11,375
My doctor is really my angel.

1284
01:09:12,208 --> 01:09:14,583
He said, "What'll happen?
You messed up nine years ago."

1285
01:09:14,666 --> 01:09:17,166
"You can mess up today too.
That's the worst you can do."

1286
01:09:17,250 --> 01:09:19,333
"Just go mess up the show.
Don't worry about it."

1287
01:09:19,416 --> 01:09:20,583
"Don't mess your health up."

1288
01:09:20,666 --> 01:09:22,541
"Mess the show up if you have to.
That's fine."

1289
01:09:22,625 --> 01:09:25,666
I felt a bit lighter then.
I thought, "That right, what'll happen?"

1290
01:09:25,750 --> 01:09:27,916
"The show will be ruined
or I won't be able to perform."

1291
01:09:28,000 --> 01:09:30,125
"I'm just feeling anxious.
I'm just getting scared."

1292
01:09:30,208 --> 01:09:31,833
While I was performing the show,

1293
01:09:31,916 --> 01:09:34,666
I didn't make eye contact
with anyone at all.

1294
01:09:34,750 --> 01:09:36,500
No matter how many people
I'm performing for,

1295
01:09:36,583 --> 01:09:39,041
whether it's 2,000 people
or 20,000 people,

1296
01:09:39,125 --> 01:09:41,208
I always make eye contact with everyone.

1297
01:09:41,291 --> 01:09:44,416
Because that's what gives me energy,
that's the thing that gives me strength,

1298
01:09:44,500 --> 01:09:46,750
looking into the eyes of my fans.

1299
01:09:47,458 --> 01:09:49,875
I kept asking, "How much time is left?
How much time is left?"

1300
01:09:49,958 --> 01:09:52,541
Finally, they said, "Time's up. Let's go."
We left from there.

1301
01:09:52,625 --> 01:09:55,125
On our way back,
when I was in the car, I relaxed.

1302
01:09:56,291 --> 01:09:57,958
I was like, "That's all it was."

1303
01:09:59,208 --> 01:10:00,500
But I did say one thing on stage.

1304
01:10:00,583 --> 01:10:03,708
I left this show in half
because I got sick.

1305
01:10:03,791 --> 01:10:06,166
Because of you people, I came back.

1306
01:10:06,250 --> 01:10:08,458
- [audience cheering]
- You brought me back!

1307
01:10:08,541 --> 01:10:11,208
This was the city where I lost everything,

1308
01:10:11,291 --> 01:10:13,500
and I came back here
and completed the loop.

1309
01:10:14,208 --> 01:10:15,708
I took my meds and went to bed.

1310
01:10:15,791 --> 01:10:19,166
I woke up the next day happy
and did the rest of the America tour.

1311
01:10:22,875 --> 01:10:24,875
[serene music playing]

1312
01:10:52,416 --> 01:10:54,708
[Honey] We plan
a lot of things in our lives,

1313
01:10:54,791 --> 01:10:57,375
but the Almighty decides
what will happen and when.

1314
01:10:57,458 --> 01:11:00,833
And whatever it may be,
it'll come to you when the time is right.

1315
01:11:01,458 --> 01:11:03,916
It'll only come into your life
when the time is right.

1316
01:11:04,000 --> 01:11:05,750
It has a fixed time period,

1317
01:11:05,833 --> 01:11:07,833
and it'll leave your life too
when it has to.

1318
01:11:08,875 --> 01:11:11,208
A person can be proud
and think to themselves,

1319
01:11:11,291 --> 01:11:13,375
"Oh, see, I've achieved this,
I've achieved that."

1320
01:11:13,458 --> 01:11:16,958
"I've built this empire.
I've got a bungalow, a mansion, a car."

1321
01:11:17,666 --> 01:11:20,000
When God decides, it'll happen.

1322
01:11:20,083 --> 01:11:22,583
And if He decides it won't,
it won't happen.

1323
01:11:23,666 --> 01:11:26,750
Whatever projects, songs,
or films that happen,

1324
01:11:26,833 --> 01:11:28,541
documentaries that happen,

1325
01:11:28,625 --> 01:11:31,291
have already been written in my story
by the Almighty.

1326
01:11:32,083 --> 01:11:35,458
We're just here… enjoying the ride.

1327
01:11:40,166 --> 01:11:43,958
[Sneha] After so much, I think
<i>Bhaiya </i>also believes the same thing now.

1328
01:11:44,041 --> 01:11:46,291
"We'll handle it. We'll fix it."

1329
01:11:48,208 --> 01:11:49,500
The worry will never go.

1330
01:11:50,500 --> 01:11:51,500
I don't know why.

1331
01:11:52,208 --> 01:11:54,541
What I know is that he's-- he's a fighter.

1332
01:11:55,458 --> 01:11:56,916
And he will fight.

1333
01:11:57,000 --> 01:12:01,500
If he has to come back, not once,
not twice, not thrice,

1334
01:12:01,583 --> 01:12:03,666
he will come back
for the 1,000th time if he has to.

1335
01:12:03,750 --> 01:12:04,708
But he will come back.

1336
01:12:10,791 --> 01:12:13,625
[Honey] Earlier when I used
to make a song, I knew this will work.

1337
01:12:13,708 --> 01:12:14,583
I used to say it.

1338
01:12:14,666 --> 01:12:16,791
Today, I have 52 songs in my bank,

1339
01:12:16,875 --> 01:12:19,250
and I can't say, "This will work"
about any of them.

1340
01:12:19,333 --> 01:12:22,708
It's not like my confidence is gone.
It's the scene that's changed.

1341
01:12:23,208 --> 01:12:25,416
No song runs for more than two weeks.

1342
01:12:26,208 --> 01:12:28,125
I need to understand this trend.

1343
01:12:28,625 --> 01:12:30,625
When I first entered the industry,

1344
01:12:30,708 --> 01:12:33,208
everyone thought,
"Where did Honey Singh come from?"

1345
01:12:33,708 --> 01:12:36,166
But I had 10 years of homework
behind me then.

1346
01:12:36,958 --> 01:12:39,250
And I've started that same homework again.

1347
01:12:39,750 --> 01:12:42,208
[triumphant music playing]

1348
01:12:42,291 --> 01:12:44,083
Make some noise!

1349
01:12:44,166 --> 01:12:46,458
[audience cheering]

1350
01:12:47,208 --> 01:12:50,875
If a person disappears from the scene
for seven minutes or seven days,

1351
01:12:50,958 --> 01:12:52,166
people forget about them.

1352
01:12:52,250 --> 01:12:55,458
But even after seven or eight years,
people still remember me,

1353
01:12:55,541 --> 01:12:58,583
they listen to my songs, buy my tickets,
come to watch my shows.

1354
01:12:58,666 --> 01:13:00,791
So, I just gotta keep trying, keep going.

1355
01:13:00,875 --> 01:13:02,666

01:13:03,500 --> 01:13:05,333

[music continues]

1359
01:13:41,583 --> 01:13:43,958
[Mozez] Earlier you said
this is gonna be your comeback year--

1360
01:13:44,041 --> 01:13:46,083
[Honey] No, no, no.
This is not the comeback.

1361
01:13:46,166 --> 01:13:48,291
That'll be fucking huge.

1362
01:13:48,375 --> 01:13:51,708
I'll do something that will make the world
go crazy all over again.

1363
01:13:54,083 --> 01:13:55,666
The first shot of Part 2

1364
01:13:55,750 --> 01:13:58,666
will be Dr. Dre and I
sitting in the studio together.

1365
01:13:59,291 --> 01:14:01,333
And it'll fucking happen!

1366
01:14:01,833 --> 01:14:07,541
[fans chanting]
Honey Singh! Honey Singh! Honey Singh!

1367

{\an8}I need to turn off the speaker, cameraman.
Please step aside.
