Mika Singh reveals Salman Khan loves to call people at 2:30 AM: "And if you don't pick up, he will question..."
, the Punjabi singer whose groove-worthy songs dazzle at parties, spoke about his strong connection with famed actor
Salman Khan
. While mentioning the brotherhood between them, Mika expressed how Khan's personality changes at night and shared a hilarious incident.
Salman Khan's penchant for calling at 2:30 a.m.
While Salman Khan is renowned for his generosity, Mika revealed that there are specific hours that wouldn't get you in trouble with him. During the day, when the sun shines the brightest, Salman Khan is apparently not. In an interview with Shubankar Mishra, Mika revealed that Khan has a habit of calling at 2:30 a.m. "He loves calling people at 2:30 am, and if you don't pick up his call, he will say ' ab esa ho gya,'" said Mika as he hinted that Khan questions the friendship if someone misses his phone call.
How Mika Singh almost lost his blockbuster song, 'Jumme Ki Raat'?
The singer narrated the incident from the days, when Salman Khan was filming 'Kick.' Mika stated, 'I was in Bali, and I got a call from him at night. He tells me that he wants to sing the song 'Hangover', and he starts singing the song on the phone. I thought he sang very well, being Salman Khan because actors usually don't sing well."
Singh mimicked Khan and said, 'Ek aur sun!' He continued, 'Following the song, he sang 'Jumme Ki Raat', and I didn't have the heart to tell him. That was supposed to be my song, but obviously nobody was going to tell him that he couldn't sing it. So, I texted Bhushan Kumar and Sajid Nadiadwala, and I told them I knew what was happening…'
Well, Mika Singh sang the final version...
However, Mika's luck might have been shining, as when Salman asked his nephew for the feedback, he stated that Khan's version was more of a shouting, but Mika's version was soothing, and fit better for the song, he revealed in another interview with The Lallantop. Eventually, Mika's voice was added in the final verison that charts the lists at the parties.
