Shah Rukh Khan’s fallout with Vishal-Shekhar
When King Khan recently parted ways with his favourite music composer duo Vishal-Shekhar, Honey Singh came back in the news. The rapper never shared any sort of rapport with Vishal-Shekhar. In fact, the Chennai Express composers were always vocal about their dislike towards Honey Singh. And still SRK went ahead and brought the Punjabi singer on board for CE. But that wasn’t the nail in the coffin. Things turned sour when Shah Rukh took Yo Yo Honey Singh along with him on SLAM! The Tour for promoting HNY. With that Shah Rukh’s association with Vishal-Shekhar ended courtesy Mr Honey Singh!
The slapgate incident
Yo Yo Honey Singh left SLAM! The Tour midway because of his ill health and the injury that he sustained during one of the rehearsals. At that time reports were did the rounds that SRK apparently slapped Honey Singh in public post which the latter went into depression. This piece of information rocked the nation. Since the Aata Maaji Satakli singer was recovering back then, it was his wife Shalini Singh who then came forward to clear the air about the slapgate incident. She had said, “Why would he slap him? These are all baseless stories. Everyone knows that Honey really respects Shah Rukh; and even he treats Honey like a younger brother.”

After the slapgate controversy came the news about the Punjabi rapper checking into a rehab. Since the Singh was missing from the actor for a long time, rumours about him checking into rehab for alleged drug abuse started floating in the media.

In January, he told a leading tabloid, “He told his team that he is taking a break to go home and spend time with family. But instead he checked himself into a rehab centre in Chandigarh in October.” He further revealed, “We worked through the night on the lyrics of Aata Maaji Satakli. That was the last time I met him. I have never seen him use drugs while working. But the rest of the time he was always high.” For this very reason the Xpose actor remained in the news for days.
