‘You’re the struggler’: Mika Singh tells Farah Khan how his bodyguard once refused to work for him
SInger Mika Singh late shared a uproarious story nearly his longtime escort, telltale(a) that the very man who protects him today once refused to work for him decades ago because he thought the singer was a “struggler.” The anecdote surfaced when filmmaker Farah Khan visited Mika’s farmhouse in Delhi. During their interaction, Mika introduced her to his bodyguard, Kartar, and narrated the unusual backstory of their association.Mika introduces his bodyguard to Farah Khan“This is Kartar bhai,” Mika said while introducing him. When Kartar bent down to touch Farah’s feet, Mika jokingly added, “He is not a decent man at all. I met him about 30 years ago. I told him, ‘You are so tall and broad, will you please become my bodyguard?’ And he replied, ‘How about you start working first? You are struggling yourself here.’”Farah appeared surprised and asked Kartar whether he had really said that at the time. Kartar simply nodded, confirming the story. Recalling the incident, Mika burst into laughter and said the moment became an ongoing joke in his life. “Yes, he really said that. Usually, people work very hard to impress girls. In my case, I worked hard and became successful just to make Kartar my bodyguard,” he joked. During the conversation, Mika also spoke about the strong musical influence in his childhood. The singer revealed that his father was deeply involved in religious music and frequently performed kirtans at Gurudwaras. Growing up in such an environment, Mika said music naturally became a part of his life. His father and elder brother Daler Mehndi both spent years performing devotional music, and Mika often accompanied them. Mika said he eventually fulfilled his dream as his Delhi farmhouse today houses a Gurudwara where prayers are conducted round the clock, along with a temple on the property.Mika's music careerOn the professional front, Mika Singh made his independent music debut in the late 1990s and rose to prominence with his hit album Saawan Mein Lag Gayi Aag, which became a massive chartbuster.
