About a decade ago, Honey Singh was one of the most successful pop singers of the country but soon after that, he faded from the industry and now he is struggling to make a comeback and regain his fame. In a recent interview with Siddharth Kannan, Honey Singh shared how things went downhill for him and how it took him half a deacde to get control of his deteriorating health.

“When I fell ill, a lot was going on in my life. There was tour with Shah Rukh Khan, a show with Star Plus that I had worked on for a year. I had named it Raw Star. I was also doing a film in Punjabi. Lots of things were happening," the singer recalled.

He further added, "Even when I collapsed, when I started having symptoms of bipolar disorder on the sets of Raw Star, I had a lot of confidence that even if nothing is in my control, this would be under my control. I felt something was off with my brain. Something has happened so let me rectify it. My family members said, ‘You are bound by contract. You’ll get sued. There will be a huge loss.’ I said, ‘I don’t want to do anything. Let me fix this.’ It took me five years.”

Further sharing how his attempts to make a comeback didn't prove fruitful, Honey Singh said, "I started to make my comeback but things were not working out. I was fat so people said this is not the same look. The songs were working but people were not accepting me. The song ‘Dil Chori Saada Ho Gaya’, which was filmed on Kartik Aaryan, worked. I am not a playback artiste so I don’t even consider that as my own success. I want something of my own."
