Yo Yo Honey Singh Shares Untold Story Img: Internet)
New Delhi: Rapper and singer Yo Yo Honey Singh has shared new details about his prolonged mental health battle, revealing that years of treatment and medication caused severe physical changes, including complete hair loss. Speaking during a recent appearance on the ABtalks podcast, the singer said he now wears a wig after losing all his hair while undergoing treatment for bipolar disorder.
Honey Singh explained that the medication also caused significant weight gain during one of the most difficult phases of his life. “I was on heavy medication for seven years. I became 105 kilos because of it, and I lost my hair completely,” he said during the conversation.
Before stepping away from public life, Honey Singh was among the most successful names in India’s music industry. However, the singer revealed that his mental health condition became so severe that he withdrew completely from social life and remained isolated inside his home for several years.
According to the rapper, he stopped communicating with friends and avoided all interaction with the outside world. He said he did not watch television, use the internet or answer phone calls during that period because he did not want fans to see him in a vulnerable condition.
Honey Singh also recalled how he struggled even after quitting drugs in 2014, saying recovery took much longer than expected. He revealed that despite leaving substance abuse behind, it still took nearly seven to eight years before he began feeling mentally stable again.
The singer said a major turning point came when he changed doctors and revised his treatment plan. According to Honey Singh, new medicines and dosage adjustments helped him recover within weeks.
He added that gradually stepping out, meeting people again and reconnecting with life played a crucial role in rebuilding his confidence after years of isolation and mental health challenges.
