Indian rapper and singer Honey Singh returned with a new album Glory after years of staying away from work. He recently shared backstory behind the making of his hit song Chaar Botal Vodka revealing he penned it after actually drinking four bottles of vodka with two of his teammates in Australia. He revealed it was actually a result of anger and frustration after the Sikh community protested against his World tour performance with Shah Rukh Khan. He also  recalled SRK suggested him not release the song saying “Gaaliyan padegi tereko.” He even clarified the rumors of Shah Rukh Khan slapping him although he didn’t reveal much but said nothing like that happened and mentioned details can be received in his Netflix documentary. 

In a recent interview with Lallantop, Yo Yo spoke about inspiration behind Chaar Botal Vodka. He said, “I wrote that song after drinking four bottles of vodka with two other people in Australia. I was on a world tour with Shah Rukh Khan in 2013 after Chennai Express’ release and my community, the Sikh community, started protesting. They weren’t allowing me to perform because they were like, ‘Ye gande gane banata hai (He makes dirty songs. He spoils the culture).’ Shah Rukh Khan told me that, ‘I am with you. If you are not allowed, I won’t do the world tour.’ It’s a big thing for him to even say that.”

He further added, “Finally, I went on the tour. I performed. There were some 25,000-30,000 people cheering for me but there were 500 people outside who were burning my effigies. Those 500 people irritated and hurt me. After the show, my choreographer and the dancer came into my room and we started drinking. We started with one bottle. After drinking two-and-a-half bottles, I started creating the beat of the song. I decided to sing the song in a child’s accent. I thought they are telling me that I am ruining their culture, now I will make sure that I will embed this song in their breed and make sure that every kid sings it.”

He made Shah Rukh listen the song and sharing his reaction to the song, he said, “I made Shah Rukh sir listen to the song and he told me, ‘Tu pagal hai, kya gana banaya hai. This will be a flop. Gaaliyan padege tereko (Are you mad? This will be a flop. You will get criticised).’ But I was determined mein toh aise he gaunga (I will sing it as it is).”
For the unveresed, Honey Singh and Shah Rukh Khan have worked previously for Lungi Dance from Chennai Express.
