Yo Yo Honey Singh
We celebrate Valentine Day, but no one remembers Bhagat Singh birth anniversary.Collection: Anniversary
I am a straight, non-alcoholic, non-partying guy who speaks straight. I have no knowledge of literature. This is my language of communication, and what I see, what I observe, I reflect.Collection: Knowledge
I'd never disrespect women. I have been brought up to treat women with courtesy and dignity.Collection: Women
I feel extremely honoured and humbled that people are showing me so much love. My fans have stood by me through thick and thin, and I think this love is what makes my concerts house-full.Collection: Love
I respect women, and I have not and will never sing anything that will upset my fans.Collection: Respect
I am yet to have a child, and if I am blessed with a baby girl, and in future, if a guy tries to impress my daughter by singing my hits, I have no issues with it.Collection: Future
I am not anyone's brother, and I only have one younger sister. I don't consider my counterpart rappers as my brothers.
I thought I was passionate about my work. Then I saw Shah Rukh bhai and Bachchan saab at work. Their spirit was so infectious. I felt I had so far been just fooling around.
I am excited to partner with American Swan and to be able to connect with the youth and inspire them to chase their dreams and script their destinies.
I used to be the occasional social drinker earlier. But now my intake of alcohol has ceased completely. I want to be fighting fit for the boxing ring.
I'd sing for any friend's happiness. I don't have to get drunk to do so.
There are many wrestlers in my mother's family. So I guess I've inherited my love for wrestling from my mother's side of the family.
Just as I have broken the monopoly of film music as being synonymous with popular music in our country, I want to prove that cricket is not the only glamorous sport.
It's very important to get friends on board, friends who make a difference.
We want to take boxing to the level of cricket.
When I was child, I saw the 'Ram Leela' performed on stage. Now there is the film 'Ram Leela,' and its maker actually wanted me to do a song for Akshay Kumar in 'Gabbar.' Akshay was one of the first Bollywood A-listers to believe in me. We jelled before we jammed together.
Even the song that I did for Sanjay Leela Bhansali's 'Gabbar' is an old number. But working with Mr Bhansali was a dream come true.
I'm sorry, but I am not interested in getting cheap popularity. I've earned my success through sincere hard work. And that's the only success I want.
I'd request politicians to stop diverting attention from the actual issues that affect the country. Please stop resorting to soft targets like singers and musicians as scapegoats.
I come from a business family. I rebelled from my father to become a musician.
All my songs depict a slice of life and how youngsters perceive it. My song 'Blue Eyes' is exactly the kind of conversation a 21 or 22-year-old guy will have with the girl he likes.
For a Punjabi singer to find acceptance down South is a tall task. I'm glad I earned their love and respect.
I started as a music director in Punjab and then started singing.
My dream is to take the Indian independent music scene to an international level. People like Alisha Chinai, Baba Sehgal and Daler Mehndi took it to a very high level. My ultimate target is to win a Grammy. I don't want to primarily be a Bollywood playback singer.
I believe an artiste is a reflection of society. I write what I see. I am not a scholar, I am just an entertainer. I cannot change the way people think.
I was born in Delhi, have stayed and roamed the world, but had a tough childhood and career path. Only my mom and mausie supported me in music. So, I would just sing shabad kirtan to remain somehow attached to music.
I love my mother the most in the world. She has seen a lot of poverty and loneliness and is very simple. Whenever I am in trouble, I go far away from her, as she is not at all strong. If I see her breaking, I break.
Fame, for me, is different. Fame, for me, is not seeing myself on big billboards: it is when I go on a street and people connect to me. If I going to walk on the street, I know I can get 100,000 people following me.
If you see me as a controversial artist or controversial human being, then I could be cashing in on some reality shows. I am not doing anything like that. That's not my aim.
I did one show in Chennai. There was this little kid, dressed up as I dressed in 'Blue Eyes.' That's fame for me.
I never wanted to be a performer, I never wanted to be Yo Yo Honey Singh, the rock star.
Girls have been suppressed for long. Crimes against women are on the rise because women have the courage to come out in the open and fight the perpetrators of these heinous crimes.
No one gave me an opportunity, which I desperately needed in my struggling days. If there is one thing that I have learned during that period is that you need to create an opportunity yourself if you want to live your dream.
I don't understand why people are going mad about the lyrics I write? Do they expect everyone to become Mirza Ghalib?
Everyone knows it, but no one is willing to digest the fact that the lyrics comprising of slangs can also be a hit among youth.
My songs are based on my keen observation. I have picked these situations from my surrounding and have presented a real situation about the youth and their mindset.
I am either very expensive or free for my friends.
The Indian music scene is completely dominated by Bollywood music. We need to create space for indi-pop music.
I am overwhelmed with all the love, affection, and warmth that I have been receiving for 'Dheere Dheere.' It is one of my most special works, and I am glad that so many million hearts have taken to it in such a manner.
If an offer comes my way, I would love to sing in every Indian language. It will be like an ode to my fans from every corner of the country.
I never do any song with any expectation.
Nobody can replace Mika Singh; he is an amazing artiste and a legend.
I had to work on my own to establish myself.
When I composed a song on Bhagat Singh, it flopped. But my other songs about partying and all that are superhits!
Every revolutionary poet or lyricist has been criticised for something. If you come up with something new, there will always be people who will object to it.
In 2011, I released my first album called 'International Villager.' I had no support, and whatever money I had made, I put it all in the album. I shot the music video for 'Brown Rang' with one lakh dollars. I spent so much money, as I just wanted to put it up on YouTube, as I knew that my market was there, and it became a huge hit.
Have you driven a Rolls-Royce? There is a difference between a Rolls-Royce and a Nano.
People are wrong when they say that there is struggle in Bollywood. That is only when you don't have the talent. If you have talent, Bollywood comes to you.
It's never easy for me to say goodbye. I get attached to people very quickly, and with 'Raw Stars,' my connection is even more special. I'm in love with their music and perhaps their biggest fan. I think every artiste on the show is mind-blowing.
When Punjabis all over the world admired my work, there was buzz in Bollywood as well.
