Honey Singh reflected on his past, admitting that he was intelligent and ambitious, but made a grave error by getting involved with drugs. He warned younger artists to stay away from substances, citing the irreparable harm they can cause. The musician, who was at the height of his fame in 2012, fell into addiction after being diagnosed with bipolar disorder. He became distant from his family, fearing they would discover his struggle.
