The meeting focused on the rising cases of drug abuse and the increasing number of drug addicts in Punjab, an issue that has affected the state for years. Punjab has long struggled with the problem of drugs, with many youngsters falling into addiction and damaging their health, careers and lives.

Honey Singh has now joined hands to spread awareness among Punjab’s youth and encourage them to stay away from addiction through his voice, music and creativity.

Honey Singh has openly spoken over the years about how fame, pressure, alcohol and drug abuse pushed him into one of the darkest phases of his life before he rebuilt himself. The singer had earlier revealed how, after delivering some of the biggest chartbusters between 2012 and 2014, he became deeply dependent on drugs to the point where it started affecting both his personal and professional life. He also shared how addiction severely damaged his physical and mental health.

In 2014, he finally decided to step away from drugs and turn his life around by adopting a healthier lifestyle. He openly admitted that drug addiction was the “biggest mistake” of his life, and over the years, his journey of recovery and comeback has inspired many people battling similar struggles.
