Mika Singh’s Bodyguard Initially Refused to Work

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.
Mika’s Musical Roots and Spiritual Haven
During the conversation, Mika also spoke about the strong musical influence in his childhood.

Growing up in such an environment, Mika said music naturally became a part of his life.

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.
The anecdote highlights Mika Singh’s journey and sense of humor. His success allowed him to playfully prove his former doubter wrong, while also staying connected to his spiritual roots with the Gurudwara and temple on his property.
