Yo Yo Honey Singh recently opened up about breaking his year-long sobriety at the wedding reception of actress Sonakshi Sinha and Zaheer Iqbal , held in Mumbai in June 2024.
In a candid conversation with The Lallantop, the rapper spoke about a significant personal milestone — staying away from alcohol for over a year. He had made a conscious decision to focus on healing, both physically and mentally, after years of battling addiction and its toll on his health.
However, it all changed when he walked into Sonakshi and Zaheer’s wedding reception. Recalling the day he shared that being surrounded by close friends, laughter, and the electric energy of celebration, “something shifted”. The mood, the music, and the emotion of the moment made him drop his guard and let go, just for one night.
The Angrezi Beat singer recalled being in high spirits as he arrived at the reception and even told the paparazzi that he wouldn’t drink that evening. But once inside, the vibe shifted. “I hadn’t had vodka in over a year… It was Sonakshi’s wedding, and everyone was there. I said, ‘Lao aaj’,” he admitted. After consuming more than half a bottle, he picked up the mic and began singing impromptu. Though there wasn’t even a formal stage, he turned the evening into a party, captivating guests with his performance.
