Mika Singh is a big fan of the legendary Amitabh Bachchan.
The singer never shies away from expressing his admiration for Big B. Recently, Mika talked about the time he sneaked into Amitabh Bachchan’s Diwali party without an invitation.
In an interview with Lallantop, the singer said, “Every year, Mr Bachchan would celebrate Diwali at his house, and I would pass by and admire all the decorations. I always wanted to be invited. I had a big car, a Hummer, so I entered his house without an invitation once. I took a couple of rounds, and exited. I used to invite him to my shows. I would send him messages, and he would reply, ‘God bless you.'”
Mika Singh also opened up about the time when Daler Mehendi pulled a prank on him.
He said, “Daler Mehendi told me, ‘I’ll get you the real [Amitabh] Bachchan on the line, wait’. And he called a number and started saying, ‘Mr Bachchan, here, my brother Mika wants to talk to you’. I immediately stood up out of respect and spoke to Mr Bachchan. He sounded exactly like him. I didn’t know that Daler Paaji had pulled a prank on me; I was talking to some duplicate,” said Mika.
On his meeting with Amitabh Bachchan, Mika Singh added, “One day, at a shoot, Mr [Amitabh] Bachchan was there, and I was trying to hide from him. He called me over and asked me why I’d stopped sending him messages. He said that he would look forward to them and that I shouldn’t stop. That’s the day my admiration for him increased.”
Mika Singh shared that Amitabh Bachchan also attended a “muhurat” event for his “flop” film.
“He [Amitabh Bachchan] kept his word. He said he’d be there at 9 am, and he showed up exactly on time,” the singer added.
Mika Singh is known for his party numbers including — Rani Tu Main Raja, Chinta Ta Ta Chita Chita, Pungi and Long Drive. Recently, he crooned the title track — Pushpa Pushpa — in Allu Arjun’s Pushpa 2: The Rule.
