Honey Singh opened up about his struggle with bipolar disorder, describing how it made him feel out of control and paranoid. He feared people were conspiring against him and felt like he would never see his family again.
He said “It was bipolar disorder. There were psychotic symptoms as well. What happens then is that your mind goes out of control. You start seeing dreams while you’re awake. I would get scared even when my maid used to come thinking she’d be laughing at me, she was wiping blood off the floor, etc. It was a weird feeling. I thought I’d never be able to meet my parents again. I saw hell. I wished for death every day. I grew my hair and beard. I would just spend my days sleeping, crying, and not meeting anyone. I would stare at the moon, and how it changes every night. I used to think I must have been staring at the moon for 6-7 hours but it would only be 15 minutes. My days would not come to an end. I used to stay in a room. I used to feel that somebody was going to die. That’s why there were ‘paaths’ being done in the house. I thought I was going to die and that’s why these ‘paaths’ were being done in the house."
