Honey Singh spills the beans on his disappearance from the public eye!

Famous rapper Honey Singh, who had vanished from the public view for around 18 months, finally made a comeback in public at a latest event, where he also announced his first ever Punjabi movie as a solo lead.

Singh also spilled the beans on his disappearance and told that contrary to rumors about him being locked away in a rehab centre, he was holed up in his Noida house as he was suffering from bipolar disorder, which was aggravated because of his addiction to alcohol. Singh confessed that he was in a bad space during those 18 months as medication was not working for him and he had to change around four doctors in that period. Singh also disclosed that he wrote over 50 poems, which he intends to publish someday.

Also disparaging reports of his fallout with Shah Rukh Khan, Honey told that the King Khan used to call him up frequently during his darkest phase to enquire about his health.

Honey Singh will be next seen in Punjabi action thriller Zorawar, in which he will play a soldier.
