Singh was at the peak of his career in 2014; however, his health was in shambles after he battled bipolar disorder, due to which he isolated himself. The singer recalled reaching a stage where he prayed for death.

Honey Singh on battling bipolar disorder

Speaking on the ABTalks podcast recently, Singh recalled, “I used to smoke a lot, and I didn’t know that it was taking me over and that it was controlling me. I was on a world tour with Shah Rukh Khan, I was judging a reality show, and was starring in a Punjabi film, so everything was happening perfectly. But then I got symptoms of bipolar disorder. It starts from the feeling of suspicion; you have a fear of death and people.”
