Yo Yo Honey Singh, the nation's musical sensation has always taken over the hearts of the audience with his amazing albums. The iconic rapper has received applause from the fans for his amazing recent releases. At the recently held IIFA Awards, Honey Singh was awarded for the song, 'Dil Chori' in Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety.
Recently, in an interview with Hindustan Times, when he was asked if awards are important for him, he shared, "Some people say unhe award se farak nahi padhta. But for an artist, it matters. The inspiration gets doubled, that 'I've got this one this time, it should get even better' Families get ecstatic when they see you receiving an award. Mine claps make noise and hugs me when I come home. My mom is my inspiration, but my father is even bigger support now. There was a time when he wasn't able to support me in my music dreams. He didn't want me in my music dreams. He didn't want me to pursue music. But now, the support has tripled."
