Renowned rapper and music producer Yo Yo Honey Singh is currently preparing for his highly anticipated world tour, titled 'My Story'. While the excitement for the tour is palpable, the artist has revealed he is in a deeply reflective phase of his life, looking back at his incredible journey.
From School Dreams to Stardom
In a recent, candid conversation, Honey Singh traced his artistic inclinations back to his school days. He revealed that he was always drawn to performance and music, actively participating in kirtan and bhangra. His passion was so intense that he even took up teaching bhangra to others.
He fondly, and now humorously, recalled a pivotal memory involving a teacher. His teacher once told his mother, "He wants to become Shah Rukh Khan, make him study first, then he can become like him." Today, as he smiles at the memory, he is amazed at how life, in its own unpredictable way, turned that childhood aspiration into a surreal reality.
The Diwali Party That Forged a Bond
The rapper's first major professional collaboration with Shah Rukh Khan was the massively popular track 'Lungi Dance' from the movie 'Chennai Express'. However, it was an event after the song's release that Singh describes as the most emotional moment of his career.
Shah Rukh Khan invited him to his famous Diwali party. Singh admitted to initially hesitating, fearing he would feel out of place amidst a galaxy of the biggest stars in the Indian film industry. But what happened next left him stunned and deeply moved.
"You won't believe it — he held my hand for seven hours throughout the whole party," Honey Singh recounted. From legends like Amitabh Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai to Madhuri Dixit and other icons, Shah Rukh Khan proudly introduced him to everyone, consistently referring to him as, "This is the boy."
A Connection Built on Mutual Respect and Manifestation
Honey Singh elaborated that his bond with the superstar began with their shared connection to Delhi but quickly grew deeper, rooted in mutual warmth and profound respect. He had the opportunity to tour the world with SRK during 2013-2014, an experience that solidified their relationship.
He now sees their connection as a powerful testament to the power of belief and manifestation. "I have a relationship with him, he has his hand on my head. Somewhere, the manifestation keeps happening without you realising how far you've come," he reflected thoughtfully.
Meanwhile, their iconic collaboration on 'Lungi Dance' continues to be a fan favourite, a permanent marker of their successful partnership. As Honey Singh gears up for his 'My Story' world tour, this reflective phase adds a profound layer to the artist's narrative, proving that some dreams do come true in the most unexpected ways.
