Everyone knows about that period in the life of Yo Yo Honey Singh when even in the peak of his success, he was struggling against drug addiction. Also, the presence of bipolar disorder in his life forced him to stay away from the film industry. He now acknowledges that it was Shah Rukh Khan and Akshay Kumar who told him the truth about drugs.
During a podcast, Honey Singh revealed that Shah Rukh Khan and Akshay Kumar often advised him to stay away from drugs. He also spoke openly about his career, fame, loneliness, and his downfall.
Honey Singh denied that his downfall was due to fame or the entertainment industry. He said he was responsible for it, and his own thinking.
During the conversation, he recalled a period in his career when he worked with the industry's biggest stars—Shah Rukh Khan, Amitabh Bachchan, Salman Khan, and Akshay Kumar. According to him, all of them repeatedly warned him about his lifestyle and growing addictions.
Honey Singh said, "I don't want to blame the entertainment industry for anything. I had the opportunity to work with legendary artists at a very young age and observe their lives closely.
Shah Rukh Khan, Amitabh Bachchan, Salman Khan, Akshay Kumar—all of them are very simple people, without any darkness in them... They would look at me and tell me to stay away from what I was doing, because it was wrong. Especially Shah Rukh Khan and Akshay Kumar." Shah Rukh Khan told me many times, 'This will ruin you, destroy you, and destroy you.'
