Singer Mika Singh shares a strong bond with Bollywood star Shah Rukh Khan. He often tells the story of gifting a ring worth Rs 50 lakh to the actor, and when they made Ranveer Singh sit in the boot of a car as they went to a party. The singer recently shared details about these incidents and also clarified his statement about the Jawan star not keeping his promise of gifting him a bike.
In a recent conversation with Shubhankar Mishra on his YouTube channel, Mika Singh recalled the time when they made then-newcomer Ranveer Singh sit in the trunk of his Hummer. He said, “It was Hrithik Roshan’s birthday. He invited all of us for a birthday party. The entire industry was present at the party. It was 6 in the morning so we left. Hrithik had then bought a new Rolls Royce. As there were too many people, we decided to go to Shah Rukh Khan’s Mannat as he has a huge house that could accommodate all of us.”
He added, “So the plan was made, now everybody was finding means to reach there. I said, ‘My car is huge, we can all go in the same car.’ I told them Gauri Khan can sit here, I will sit there, Sanjay Kapoor and his wife can sit there. They asked what car do you have? I said Hummer. SRK asked, ‘Who will drive it?’ I quickly said, ‘Paaji, aap’. He was like, ‘Are you sure?’ I was like yes, please.”
Mika added that Shah Rukh Khan was sweet enough to drive them all to his house. Adding more details about what happened on that evening, Mika said, “Soon, Ranveer Singh came running. He was like where do I sit? I told him, ‘Bhai tu dikki mein baith’ You are still a newcomer. Back then, we were his seniors. Now, he has become a master to us all. He is so sweet that he went and sat in the boot. We went all the way to Mannat, at 8 in the morning, we wrapped it up with a selfie.”
A long time ago, when Shah Rukh Khan had gifted bikes to John Abraham and Abhishek Bachchan, he had reportedly promised a bike to Mika too. Previously, the singer in an interview with Pinkvilla shared, “Although I have received gifts from him, he had once promised to gift me a bike. In fact, he promised it when he gifted a bike to Abhishek Bachchan and John Abraham. Even if not a bike, at least gift me a cycle, I’d be very happy.”
Just five days after the interview, Mika met Shah Rukh Khan at the IIFA Awards, where they discussed his statement. Mika told Shubhankar Mishra, “I met Shah Rukh Khan at IIFA. His manager Pooja, is too nice, she jokingly reminded the star, ‘Please give him his bike’.”
Mika also shared that he gifted a Rs 50 lakh ring to Shah Rukh Khan. Previously, talking about gifting a ring to the star, Mika told Pinkvilla, “He is one of the best actors and gentlemen. I always wear this ring (points to his finger), which is worth Rs 50 lakh. I have gifted similar rings to Amitabh Bachchan and Gurdas Maan too, but the first person I gave one to was SRK. I wanted to do something for the three of them. But I had nothing else to offer them, so I gifted them rings. My ring might not have even mattered to him since he could own rings worth Rs 50 crore or more. But he is very sweet and thanked me for the gift.”
Shah Rukh Khan called Mika the next day to return his ring as it was too expensive but the singer insisted that he keep it as a token of love.
