Yo Yo Honey Singh

As an entertainer, my first responsibility is to entertain my fans who have made me who I am today. I am not a preacher who can tell youngsters what they should be doing and what they should not be doing. The youth of our country is intelligent enough to know what is good and bad, and my songs can't change their thinking.

Writing songs, making music, and singing is important to me, and I do all three.

I think acting is the most difficult one among all the performing arts.

I am happy film stars are singing in their films. I hope to work as a music director for a film where actors will sing all the songs.

When Punjabis all over the world admired my work, there was buzz in Bollywood as well.

I don't take my work ever for granted. I still work very hard on every song and try to outdo myself every time.

I am overwhelmed for whatever I have achieved so far. I give the credit to my mother and everyone who has helped me.

As an artiste, I believe that I am not my own property. I am the property of my fans.

It was very difficult acting. I feel it is a very tough job to portray someone else's character and to behave like that on screen.

I got a lot of support from the entire industry, stars like Akshay Kumar. A. R. Rahman told me to keep doing the good work and not get bogged down by anything.

I didn't have any singing background. Against the wishes of my parents, I got into making music.

Everything I wear is custom made.

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.

When some artistes give a hit song, they keep repeating themselves in the same genre. I always try to create something new.

I had cut myself off from everyone. I didn't come out of my room, forget stepping out of the house. I had a beard, and I didn't get a haircut for months. For someone who has performed in front of a crowd of 20,000, I was scared of facing 4-5 people. That's what bipolar disorder does to you.

The truth is I was suffering from bipolar disorder. It went on for 18 months, during which I changed four doctors, the medication wasn't working on me, and crazy things were happening.

I do not consume alcohol. You won't find a single picture that shows me drinking.

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 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.

My family didn't want me to be a musician, and therefore, they never helped out in my efforts.

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.

I would never sing a song which I cannot sing in front of my family.

There are many politicians who are from the Congress or the BJP or the Aam Aadmi Party who are all my friends and who are all young politicians between the ages of 27 and 35.

I was looking online; many singers have sung songs for the elections, but I am not doing anything like that.

The guy I played in 'The Xpose' is more like a spoiled brat who likes to have his way than a villain. No more negative roles after 'The Xpose' for me. I've enough problems dealing with the negative image I've been saddled with in some sections.

My playground as a musician is growing.

'The Xpose' was just an experiment, a small step into Bollywood. It wasn't my acting debut, as reported in Mumbai. I've done a couple of Punjabi films.

Have you driven a Rolls-Royce? There is a difference between a Rolls-Royce and a Nano.

I am glad that my fan believed in me and stood by me in my hard times and continued to enjoy my songs. That's the real victory for me.

I respect women, and I have not and will never sing anything that will upset my fans.

I am not interested to sing in Bollywood. I sing for only those actors whom I admire. I sing free of cost for them. I want to take independent music ahead, and my songs are completely based on my observations.

It's a misconception that I compose songs for girls. I have sung a song for Bhagat Singh, too, but nobody knows about it. I have sung about boys, but all of them are super-duper flop.

Music industry is a very competitive field, and one has to continuously entertain and excite the audience, which is a difficult task.

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.

I've seen my family watch TV every day, and they develop a liking for various characters more and more with time. So, I think TV does bring a celeb closer to his fans. I feel I have come closer to people without losing my raw appeal.

TV is the most powerful medium, which has taken me right into the homes of so many people.

I wish to contribute more to south Indian music, especially Tamil music.

Just because I take my music international doesn't mean I have to sing in English. I will continue to sing in Punjabi, Hindi, Gujarati, and Tamil. I want to represent my own country through its own languages.

The kind of songs I sing have been existing in Bollywood music since a long time. In fact, the reason my music is so popular amongst the millions of youth is because I sing in their own language, in their own slang, and about their lives.

I like action-based sports, and kabbadi is my favourite. I wanted to be associated with a sport on which I really believe in, and so I bought a team in World Kabbadi League, and Toronto will host my team.

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 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.

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.
