Recalling those conversations, Honey Singh said, “Shah Rukh Khan sir told me, ‘This will finish you one day.’ Akshay Kumar sir also warned me many times and asked me to take care of myself.” The singer admitted that while the actors genuinely cared about his well-being, he failed to understand the seriousness of their concern at that stage of his life.
The singer explained that fame, success, and constant pressure gradually pushed him into unhealthy habits. “I was at the top of my career, but mentally I was completely lost,” he confessed. Honey Singh added that he often isolated himself despite being surrounded by people and struggled to differentiate between genuine relationships and superficial industry connections.
He further opened up about how substance abuse eventually impacted both his mental and physical health. “There came a point where I could not recognize myself anymore,” he said, adding that his condition became so severe that he had to completely step away from the public eye for several years.
Honey Singh also spoke about his battle with mental health issues during that period, revealing that recovery was a long and painful process. “I thought my career was over. I thought I would never return to music again,” he shared.
