It is Yo Yo Honey Singh's birthday March 15, as the rapper turns 33. Although he is more popular by the name Honey Singh, his original name is Hirdesh Singh. Honey Singh is currently one of the most popular Indian rappers and song producers.
Although he was quite popular for his earlier albums, the rapper came into mainstream music industry with a song in the film "Shakal Pe Mat Ja." One of Honey Singh's most popular albums is "International Villager". The song "Angreji Beat" from the same album was used in the movie "Cocktail" as well, and it is till date one of the best party songs.
However, Honey's star rose since 2013 after he composed music for big-budget Bollywood movies like "Chennai Express" and "Boss". The song "Lungi Dance" from the Shah Rukh Khan-starrer became highly popular.
While he started his acting career with the Punjabi movie "Mirza-The Untold Story" in 2012, Honey made his Bollywood acting debut with the Himesh Reshammiya-starrer "The Xpose" in 2014. The film bombed at the box office. The music composer will next be seen in another Punjabi movie, "Zorawar," whose trailer was released recently and received good response from the audience.
