Analysed 28 May 2026·21 sources analysed·Mumbai, India·Entertainment
Honey Singh Shares Bipolar Disorder Struggle and Impact of Medication on HealthPreviousNext

Yo Yo Honey Singh has openly discussed his seven-year battle with bipolar disorder and substance abuse, revealing how the condition began during a busy phase involving a music reality show and a US tour with Shah Rukh Khan. He experienced paranoia, fear of death, and isolation, leading him to shave half his head to avoid performing. Heavy medication caused significant weight gain and complete hair loss, prompting him to wear a wig. Despite warnings from industry peers and years of struggle, Singh has gradually recovered and returned to music.
