It has been reported that well-loved Bollywood rapper Yo Yo Honey Singh may be suffering from depression.
Following a long period of hibernation, a buzz about Singh suffering from depression has surfaced. Singh has not been without his own media controversy lately. Soon after emerging as a popular mentor on Star Plus’s reality show India’s Raw Star, the singer suffered a back injury during Shah Rukh Khan’s Slam! The Tour in September. Unfortunately, he had to miss a few concerts and was advised complete bed rest for 45 days. Since then, Singh has canceled all show and India’s Raw Star replaced him with Himesh Reshammiya.
While it is still unclear whether or not he actually is suffering from clinical depression, reportedly the singer had a violent argument with a popular Bollywood personality. Apparently, the argument heated up to an extent that the actor slapped Singh. Many believe this incident sank him deeper into hibernation.
A post on Singh's Facebook page states: “Dear well wishers and Fans, it's true that your desikalakar has not been keeping well and will be out of action for a while. Due to his illness, he has been advised strict bed rest. As a family, we are really thankful to a lot of people for supporting him and us during his illness. He shall be back real soon to do what he does best, i.e to entertain you all. Keep him in your prayers and keep supporting and loving apka apna Yo Yo Honey Singh.”
Singh continues to pop up in the tabloids, especially recently, when a Ludhiana-based, non-governmental organization, Mahatar Sati Jagritp Manch, tried to gather support against the singer for allegedly promoting drug abuse through his songs. The NGO was seeking an immediate ban on songs “Manali Trance” and “Alcoholic,” which appeared in the popular Bollywood film The Shaukheens.
Let’s hope all is well with Bollywood’s favorite rapper.
