Many years ago, reports suggested that Shah Rukh Khan had slapped Yo Yo Honey Singh during a tour they did together. Neither Honey nor SRK have spoken about it. This tour took place in the United States and it was reported that Honey Singh also had to get stitches on his head as he was injured when SRK hit him. In a recent documentary made on his life, titled, ‘Yo Yo Honey Singh’, the rapper has finally opened up on it.
He revealed what had exactly happened and why he was not willing to go and perform on stage. He said, “Now, nine years later, let me tell you what really happened. Nobody knows what I’m going to tell you on camera now. Someone started the rumour that Shah Rukh Khan slapped me. That man loves me, he’ll never raise his hand on me,”
Honey continued, “When they took me to Chicago for the show, I said, ‘I don’t want to perform’. I was sure that I was going to die during that show. Everyone told me that I should get ready, but I refused. My managers came over, and they said, ‘Why aren’t you getting ready?’ I said, ‘I’m not going’. I went to the washroom, took a trimmer, and I shaved my hair off. I said, ‘How will I perform now?’ They said, ‘Wear a cap and perform’. There was a coffee mug lying there. I picked it up and smashed it on my head.” That’s how he had got injured, clarified Honey.
In this documentary, Honey Singh’s sister also spoke about this incident and got emotional. “I was in my room. He messaged that something is not right with me. He said can you come on Skype. And then he said, ‘Mujhe please bacha lo, gudiya mujhe please bacha le’. And then he disconnected. I was trying to reach out to (his ex-wife) Shalini. She said, ‘He has to do this show. You convince him to do this show’. I said I can’t. He told me that he isn’t feeling okay and that something bad is happening. For three hours, there was no contact with them. Three hours later, I’m told that he’s in the hospital with stitches in his head,” she said.
