Yo Yo Honey Singh reveals breaking his sobriety streak

After dealing with health issues, he had stopped drinking but secretly started again in 2021. He quit once more but admitted that at Sonakshi's wedding in June, he drank a lot and got quite drunk by the end of the night.

In an interview on The Lallantop's YouTube channel, Yo Yo Honey Singh mentioned that he occasionally drinks beer but had stopped drinking hard liquor like vodka and whiskey until a few months ago, "I hadn't had vodka in over a year. I landed here for Sonakshi's wedding. I was very happy to attend her wedding in Mumbai. As I was going in, I declared to the paparazzi that I will dance without drinking today. I said so because I had not been drinking for a year."

"I went for the wedding. Everyone was there, it was Sonakshi's wedding so I said ‘laao aaj (bring it on)'. After having more than half a bottle, I was up on the stage. There wasn't even a stage there, just a DJ console. I took the microphone and I just flipped her party. Then I drank even more," he confessed.

On the day of Sonakshi Sinha-Zaheer Iqbal's reception, when the paparazzo asked Singh if he had drinks at the party, he said, "To be honest, I am very happy today. I haven't drank in 1.5 years. But today, I drank a lot. My mother will yell at me if she sees this video."

He further said, "It is my best friend's wedding, I am so happy. She got the best guy in Zaheer. I met him three years back. He is an awesome guy. And I hope he is going to keep her happy. Nahi toh hum dekh lenge usko".
