Renowned Indian rapper Hirdesh Singh, popularly known as Yo Yo Honey Singh has recently talked about his personal life and divorce from ex-wife Shalini Talwar, claiming that it was his ‘satanic addiction’ to money and fame which played a key role in distancing him from ex-partner and family members.
In an interview with The Lallantop, the singer disclosed that the initial 9-10 months of their marriage were good, but his success and addiction forced him away from his family.
He also accepted that he did terrible things back then, almost leaving and forgetting Shalini.

In his words: “Our relationship wasn’t very good at that time. There was distance between us because I was travelling a lot. For the initial 9–10 months of our marriage, things were good. But then success and fame got to my head. When that happened, I neglected my family and had completely lost myself in money, fame, addiction, and women. I did terrible things. I almost left Shalini and forgot about them (family).”
In the same conversation, the Desi Kalakaar singer was asked about the person who introduced him to substance, and he revealed that some ‘big and influential names’ had teased him.
“Few names, few very big and influential names. They had teased me. I was so badly addicted to these substances that I was always high. Most of the time, I was unaware of myself and my surroundings.”
