Honey Singh Reveals How Shah Rukh Khan Warned Him About Chaar Botal Vodka: The Untold Story

Honey Singh, known for his popular track "Chaar Botal Vodka," recently shared the story behind the creation of this hit song. In a candid interview with The Lallantop, Singh revealed that the song was inspired by a night of heavy drinking with his team members in Australia. He admitted that they drank four bottles of vodka while he was feeling frustrated.

The Backstory

The frustration stemmed from protests by the Sikh community against Singh's performance during his world tour with Shah Rukh Khan. Singh was accused of creating vulgar songs and harming cultural values. This controversy led SRK to advise Singh against releasing "Chaar Botal Vodka," warning him that it would attract criticism. Despite the advice, Singh chose to release the song as he felt strongly about it.

SRK's Advice and Rumors

Singh recounted that Shah Rukh Khan listened to the song and told him, "Tu pagal hai, kya gana banaya hai. This will be a flop. Gaaliyan padege tereko," meaning "You’re crazy, what kind of song is this? It will flop, and you will face criticism." Singh was determined to go ahead with the song, and despite the protests and criticism, it became a hit.

After performing in front of thousands of fans and dealing with a group of protesters outside who burned his effigies, Singh and his team drank heavily in his hotel room. During this time, Singh began working on the beat for "Chaar Botal Vodka." He decided to sing in a playful, child-like accent, aiming to create a song that would become so popular that even children would sing it.
