'I thought Honey was a girl' : Abrar-ul-Haq’s hilarious meeting with Indian singer

 Imagine getting a call from your manager, saying a ‘woman’ named Honey wants to collaborate on a song. That’s exactly what happened to bhangra king Abrar –ul- Haq leading to a hilarious mix up that would go down in music history.

Appearing as a guest on Black Box podcast, Abrar shared a funny encounter with the famous Indian singer Yo Yo Honey Singh.

"I remember that my manager called me and said, 'Sir, there's a girl Honey who wants to sing a song with you.' I said, 'Let it be, let it be.' A couple of days later, I got a call from the girl, but I still didn't know her name. It was Honey's call, and I was working on a drama. I said, 'I don't want to sing a song with her, you leave it.’”

 The situation took a surprising turn later. “After four or five days, I got another call from Honey's manager. I said, 'Honey has a manager too?' He replied, 'Isn't it Honey Singh?' I said, 'Crazy person, don't you know Honey Singh?' He said, 'Yes, the same one.'”

The incident is one of the funniest stories Abrar has ever shared

 During Hafiz Ahmed's podcast he shared insights into his career.  

Abrar Ul Haq said, “I received numerous offers from Bollywood over the years. I got offers for albums and films. Even Eros approached me, but I refused. They were shocked no one had ever said no to them,' he added. Despite friends urging him not to do so, he turned down a film offer with Katrina Kaif.

Explaining why he refused, he said, “They wanted me not to speak on certain issues so I could not work in a place where freedom of speech was not an option. Therefore I did not even do the film with Katrina Kaif."
