I had become an alcoholic as well. I used to not sleep so the disease started growing slowly inside me. It took me 3-4 months to accept that I'm actually not well. It was a dark phase and I would request everyone to not hide it. Especially, an artists is like a mirror for an audience. When we can share every bit of our lives, why not this?” The singer added, “People asked me where I had disappeared for two and a half years. So then I felt it's important to speak up. I was unwell and I got well. I remember making Dheere Dheere for Hrithik Roshan during that phase and it turned out to be the biggest hit at that time.” Honey Singh further revealed that not only his family but people from the industry including Shah Rukh Khan and Deepika Padukone have also helped him through this phase. “The entire family and friends took care of me. In fact, there are many people from the industry who supported me. Shah Rukh bhai and Deepika Padukone helped me and since Deepika has also been through a similar phase, so she shared a Delhi based doctor's number with my family for me. They all prayed for me to get well and main theek ho gaya”, said the singer. Speaking on the professional front, YoY o Honey Singh will next feature in a Bollywood movie song ‘I’m in love with you’ reportedly. Watch this space for more updates.
