Mika Singh turns 44 today (June 10). Apart from singing, if there is one thing that Mika Singh is known for, it’s his various controversies. Here’s a look at a few of them:
Excessive money
In 2013, Mika was arrested at the Mumbai international airport for allegedly carrying Indian and foreign currency beyond permissible limits. According to reports, he had $12,000 and Rs 3 lakh in cash.
Hit-and-run
Reportedly in 2014, while driving Mika hit an auto-rickshaw that caused injuries to the passenger on board.
Kissing without consent
In 2006, during Rakhi Sawant’s birthday party, a video went viral in which Mika allegedly kissed Rakhi without her consent. This controversy gave fodder to news channels for days.
Slapping a doctor
In 2015, at a live concert in Delhi, a video of Mika slapping a doctor went viral. According to reports, the attack caused a small perforation in the latter’s eardrum. The Indian Medical Association had later demanded his arrest. Meanwhile, Mika had justified his action saying he “lost his temper after the doctor misbehaved”. In 2016, the doctor withdrew the case and a Rs. 50 lakh defamation suit in a Delhi court after reaching a settlement.
Human trafficking
In 2018, Mika’s name came up along with his brothers Daler Mehndi and late Shamsher Singh, in a human trafficking case that surfaced in 2003. A complaint was filed against them for taking money from people on the pretext of helping them travel abroad illegally. The singer had denied the allegations.
