Yo Yo Honey Singh who’s original name is Hirdesh Singh has finally opened about about all the domestic abuse and cheating allegations leveled against him by his wife Shalini Talwar. The couple is married for 20 years now and but in the plea filed by the singer’s wife, she has mentioned that she has been subjected to physical and verbal abuse on many occasions. However, on Friday Honey Singh released an official statement for the first time after the plea as his parents and sister have also been mentioned in the plea.

Honey Singh in his statement mentioned that “I am deeply pained and distressed by the false and malicious allegations levied against us and my family by any companion/wife of 20 years, Mrs. Shalini Talwar. The allegations are severely odious. I have never issued a public statement or press note in the past despite being subjected to harsh criticism for my lyrics, speculation on my health, & negative media coverage in general. However, I see no merit in maintaining a studied silence this time because some of the allegations have been directed at my family — my old parents and younger sister — who have stood by me during some very difficult and trying times and comprise my world. The allegations are cynical and defaming in nature.”

The rapper further added “I have been associated with the industry for over 15 years and worked with artists and musicians across the country. Everyone is aware of my relationship with my wife, who has been an integral part of my crew for more than a decade now and always accompanied me to my shoots, events, and meetings. I strongly refute all the allegations but will not comment any further because the matter is sub-judice before the Court of Law. I have full faith in the judicial system of this country, and I am confident that the truth will be out soon,” he said.

Concluding the note the rapper said, “The allegations are subject to be proven and the Hon’ble Court has provided me with an opportunity to reply to such allegations. In the meantime, I humbly request my fans and the public at large to not draw any conclusion about me and my family until the Hon’ble Court pronounces a verdict after hearing both the sides. I am confident that justice will be served, and honesty will win. As always, I’m grateful for all the love and support of my fans and well-wishers, who inspire we to work hard and make good music. Thank you! Yo Yo Honey Singh,” he wrote.
