Mika Singh, known for his bold personality and candid nature, recently opened up about his unique and sometimes amusing relationship with Bollywood superstar Salman Khan. Appearing on Shubhankar Mishra’s show, the singer shared some light-hearted and revealing insights into his interactions with the megastar, highlighting how Salman Khan's behavior drastically changes between day and night.
Mika recalled how Salman, whom he affectionately refers to as "Salman Bhai," behaves completely differently depending on the time of day. According to Singh, Khan is "a different person during the day and a different person at night," alluding to the superstar's free-spirited and laid-back persona when the night falls. This revelation adds to the enigmatic nature of Salman Khan, who is known for being one of the most approachable and down-to-earth figures in the industry, particularly during social gatherings or casual meet-ups.
The singer further revealed the dynamics of their relationship, noting that despite their close bond, it is crucial to remain grounded. Salman Khan, after a couple of drinks, often treats people like equals, says Mika, but he emphasizes that one should never let the star's behavior lead to a sense of self-importance. According to Mika, Khan's openness is something that is appreciated, but it’s essential not to become delusional or arrogant because, at the end of the day, “He’s Salman Khan.”
In his interview, Mika also shared a funny and relatable anecdote about Salman Khan's late-night antics. Khan, known for his quirky habits, has a tendency to make phone calls at odd hours, especially when he is feeling inspired. Mika revealed that Salman once called him at 4 a.m. while he was in Bali, insisting on singing the song "Hangover" from Kick over the phone. Salman’s enthusiasm and dedication to his craft shone through, as he passionately sang the track. Mika, impressed by the impromptu performance, had no intention of telling him that the song was actually supposed to be his own. Instead, he humorously texted Bhushan Kumar and Sajid Nadiadwala, hinting that he knew exactly what was going on.
This late-night phone call, and Salman's natural instinct to sing at unexpected times, paints a picture of the superstar as someone with an unyielding love for music and a carefree spirit, unbothered by the time of day.
Mika Singh’s relationship with Salman Khan extends beyond just casual interactions; the two have collaborated on multiple hit songs, creating some of the most memorable tracks in recent Bollywood music. Their successful partnerships include songs like Desi Beat from Bodyguard, Aaj Ki Party from Bajrangi Bhaijaan, Party Chale On from Race 3, and Dhinka Chika from Ready. These collaborations have solidified Mika's place in the Bollywood music scene while also adding to Salman Khan’s repertoire of iconic songs.
This behind-the-scenes peek into their friendship highlights the playful side of a superstar who, despite his fame, remains deeply connected to his roots and enjoys the simpler pleasures of life, such as making late-night calls to friends and spontaneously singing songs. It also serves as a reminder of the importance of staying humble, no matter how big you become. Mika Singh’s reflections on Salman Khan offer fans a glimpse into the human side of a larger-than-life figure.
