In a captivating revelation, celebrated singer and rapper Honey Singh recently divulged the extravagant scale of a memorable night out in Dubai, during which he spent a staggering ₹38 lakh on a party. The episode, now a part of urban legend, occurred back in 2013 and was laid bare by Honey Singh himself in a candid interview with ‘Mirchi Plus’, where he recounted how he and a group of friends enjoyed an unforgettable night of opulence and revelry.
The ambiance was electrified as the nightlife of Dubai—then considered one of the most affluent and luxurious cities globally—served as the backdrop. Honey Singh, known for his chart-topping tracks and lavish lifestyle, narrated how the evening unfolded with a group of eight friends—all described as dedicated party-goers—embarking on an epic night out. The club, filled with the vibrant energy of Dubai’s upscale party scene, became the setting for this tale of indulgence.
Honey Singh reflected on his past penchant for spending extravagantly on parties, noting, “Humne zindagi mein na parties mein bohut paise udaye. Pata laga ki bill phatt gaya itna bada, ghar wapas toh khali haath aa rahe hai.” In translation, he acknowledged, “I’ve spent a lot of money in my life on parties. I would realize the bill was so high that I’d return home empty-handed.” This statement encapsulates the jaw-dropping nature of the night’s expenses, which were beyond even his considerable spending habits.
As the night progressed, the drinks continued to flow, and the group expanded significantly. The entourage grew to include 23 women, whose presence was as much a part of the spectacle as the abundant bottles of champagne that adorned the tables. Honey Singh chuckled as he recalled the sheer size of the gathering: “Toh 23 ladkiyaan aur 8 ladke humare table pe aur 4 table jod rakhe hai, itna bara humara entourage hai.” Loosely translated, this meant, “There were 23 girls and 8 guys at our table.
. We had four tables joined to fit such a big entourage.”
The grandeur of the occasion inevitably came with a hefty price tag, culminating in a mind-boggling bill of ₹38 lakh. Honey Singh outlined the jaw-dropping moment when the financial reality of the celebration surfaced, explaining that the bill was so extensive it required no fewer than three credit cards to settle. In the interview, he humorously recounted, “Rs 38 lakh ka bill diya hai, 3 credit card lage the, 1 raat mein.” (“We got a bill of ₹38 lakh; it took three credit cards to cover it in one night.”)
Beyond the entertainment, Honey Singh disclosed insights into the workings of Dubai’s nightlife. He elaborated on how prestigious clubs in the emirate often hired strikingly attractive women, colloquially known as ‘eye candy’, to intermingle with affluent patrons, effectively enhancing the allure of the night. This practice, he noted, further contributed to the overall experience and substantial expense of the evening.
As Honey Singh muses over the unforgettable night, it appears that such lavish escapades are no longer a routine part of his life. Dubai, he observes, has since become more affordable for travelers, perhaps a hint that times have indeed changed since that costly night a decade ago.
On the career front, the celebrated artist has not rested on his former laurels. Honey Singh recently announced the release of his newest album, ‘Glory’, which made its debut on August 26. In keeping with his penchant for cross-cultural collaboration, the album showcases partnerships with musicians from Latin America, Western Europe, and features Indian folk singers, further expanding his musical footprint as he continues to create contemporary hits.
This disclosure from Honey Singh, marked by a mix of nostalgia and introspection, not only offers a glimpse into his past indulgences but also encapsulates the dazzling allure of Dubai’s nightlife—a microcosm of excess where dreams of opulence and revelry are pursued and lived in grand style.
