Controversy’s favourite child, singer Amrik Singh (popularly known as Mika Singh) turns 43 today. Doubtlessly, Mika has given Bollywood a bunch of amazing songs and viewers actually goes crazy over his voice but it seems that he fails in staying away from controversies. From cases in Dubai to a forceful kiss to Virat Kohli’s girlfriend, no one can ever doubt on Mika Singh’s audacity.
Here are top 5 controversies faced by Mika Singh:
1) 2006: A video from Rakhi Sawant’s birthday where Mika kissed her forcibly went viral. It became quite a controversy and Rakhi reportedly filed a molestation case against the singer in the Mumbai court.
2) 2013: Mika was arrested at the Mumbai international airport for allegedly carrying Indian and foreign currency beyond permissible limits. He was found in possession of $12,000 and Rs 3 lakh in cash.
3) 2014: The singer was charged in a hit-and-run case. Reportedly in 2014, Mika hit an auto-rickshaw that caused injuries to the passenger on board. Mika was also under headlines for getting kissed by Bipasha Basu on a comedy show in Dubai, and he even took to twitter to flaunt the lipstick mark. Later when Bipasha denied, Mika defended himself by saying that the kiss was given to him by one of the performers on the show.
4) 2015: At a live concert in Delhi, a video of Mika slapping a doctor went viral. The attack caused a small perforation in the latter’s eardrum. The Indian Medical Association had later demanded his arrest. The singer justified his action saying he “lost his temper after the doctor misbehaved”. The following year, the doctor withdrew the case and a Rs. 50 lakh defamation suit in a Delhi court after reaching a settlement.
5) 2018: Mika’s name cropped 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, reportedly Rs. 1 crore, from people on the pretext of helping them travel abroad illegally. However, the singer proved the allegations wrong.
