Inside Honey Singh's vanity van: Singer admits Netflix paid him a ‘fat' amount for documentary on his life, jokes ‘If you pay me more, I will tell you more'
Fans of Honey Singh got an inside view of his life and career in his Netflix documentary Yo Yo Honey Singh: Famous. In the documentary, the singer took fans on a deeply personal and introspective journey and also opened up about suffering from bipolar disorder and how it almost ruined his career. Now, in a recent interaction, Honey spoke about the documentary and revealed that he was paid 'fat' for the same by Netflix.
In an interview with Curly Tales, he explained how the documentary was made, and showed off his decadent vanity van. When the 'Brown Rang' singer was asked about his documentary, he said, 'These Netflix guys came to me and said that they want to shoot a documentary on my life and they paid me fat so I said, 'Okay. No problem. If you pay me more, I will tell you more.''
The singer went on to talk about his live concerts and how he loves the Delhi audience over any other audience in the world. He also shared that since he was born and raised in Karampura, Delhi, he has a special connect with the city. He said, 'Delhi crowd is crazy. Mumbai is also good. All are good but Delhi is special because I am from Delhi and they know me, like it's our neighbour, our brother on stage. They have seen my journey.'
Despite his iconic collaborations with Bollywood stars, the singer, during a rapid-fire round, chose independent singers over Bollywood collaborations. He explained, 'That made me what I am today. Bollywood happened to me as a compliment in my life. I want to thank the big legends who came into my life and gave me opportunity like Salman bhai, Shah Rukh bhai, Amitabh Bachchan, Ajay Devgn, Akshay Kumar and all these legends. They made me big as well but Independent music made my identity.'
Honey Singh has belted out various popular hit tracks for Hindi films, including 'Lungi Dance', which featured him, Shah Rukh Khan, and Deepika Padukone in the film Chennai Express. His original songs that featured in Hindi films include 'Desi Kalakaar', 'Blue Eyes', 'High Heels Te Nachche', 'Party All Night', and others.
