Mika continued, “I had already done the song ‘Jumme Ki Raat’ for him, but I thought that my voice was terrible in it. Salman Bhai loved it, and nobody wanted to disagree with him. In my excitement, I tweeted about it. Now, Salman Bhai usually likes talking on the phone at 2 am, and he gets very upset if you don’t answer his calls.”

Mika said that he was in Bali at the time, and he received a call from Salman, who sang “Hangover” for him. He also sang his version of “Jumme Ki Raat,” and said that he was thinking that his version should be the one in the film Kick. Mika continued, “I never accept jobs where I might be replaced. But here, it was Salman Khan himself who was replacing me. What was I going to do? I was so tense. He asked me if I liked his singing, and of course I said yes. But luckily, one of his nephews was with him. He made him listen to the song as well, but his nephew told him that my version was better.”

Mika said that he often visits Salman and his family at their Galaxy Apartments residence, but the key to getting biryani there is that one has to patiently wait for dinner time and listen to Salman’s singing. Asked if he really changed a word in a song to maintain his equation with Salman, Mika said, “I changed the word ‘Katrina’ to ‘Jacquelina’.” Salman recently celebrated his 59th birthday; he also appeared in a cameo in the film Baby John.
