Punjabi singer and actor Yo Yo Honey Singh has invited the wrath of the Delhi Court. The court expressed unhappiness with the non-appearance of the singer and not filing his medical record and income affidavits in the domestic violence case filed by the actor’s wife Shalini Singh.
“No one is above the law. Surprised to see how this case is being taken so lightly,” metropolitan magistrate Tania Singh said. While the singer didn’t appear, his wife Shalini Talwar, appeared physically before the court.
Shalini has accused the rapper of multiple offences under the Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act. Delhi’s Tis Hazari Court had also issued notice to the singer. Hirdesh Singh (Yo Yo Honey Singh’s real name) and Shalini have been married since 2011. Before that, they were in a relationship for over a decade. However, it was only in 2014 when everyone got to know about Honey Singh’s marital status as he had kept the information under wraps.
