Yo Yo Honey Singh Opens Up About The Time He Was Treated For Bipolar Disorder
Punjabi rapper Yo Yo Honey Singh, known for bringing rap culture in Indian music has finally opened up about the time he was being treated for bipolar disorder.
In an interview with Pinkvilla, he talks about the time and also reveals how Deepika Padukone and Shah Rukh Khan offered him support during the time. Deepika, who is a vocal advocate for mental health awareness, also referred his family to a doctor.
He revealed in the interview, “It was a very bad phase. A lot of people were jealous of me, of how such a young boy could achieve so much. There were other issues. I became an alcoholic as well. I couldn’t sleep, I was overworking. And slowly, this illness became worse. It took me around four months to even realise that something was wrong.”
He added, “It was a dark phase, and I don’t think there’s any point in hiding it. That’s my message to all my brothers and sisters out there; don’t hide this. People used to ask me where I was for a couple of years. And I felt it was important to tell my fans about myself -- I was unwell, now I’m better.”
Well, now the singer is in a much better place and bringing amazing songs for his fans. He has recently released the song ‘Billo Tu Agg’ which is trending on the internet.
