Mika Singh Reveals Altering Song Lyrics for Salman Khan: “Bhai Gets Upset If You Miss His Midnight Calls”

Singer Mika Singh recently shared insights into his long-standing friendship with Bollywood superstar Salman Khan. In a candid interview with The Lallantop, Mika recounted humorous and heartfelt anecdotes about their bond, including Salman’s late-night calls, his love for singing, and even a request to change a song lyric referencing Katrina Kaif.

Mika revealed that Salman once called him past midnight, expressing concern about a song they were working on for the film Kick. Salman, known for his impromptu singing, performed his own rendition of “Jumme Ki Raat” over the phone, suggesting it might replace Mika’s version. “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. The singer, who was in Bali at the time, admitted he felt tense but was ultimately relieved when Salman’s nephew preferred his version of the song.

Reflecting on their relationship, Mika shared that he first met Salman in the 1990s, but they only became close after a chance collaboration a decade later for Bodyguard. “He came to one of my shoots, which should have been the other way around. I didn’t even think to butter him up for his phone number back then,” Mika said.

Their friendship has seen Mika frequently visiting Salman’s Galaxy Apartments residence, where dinner often involves listening to Salman’s musical performances. Mika also confirmed a long-rumored story about changing a song lyric at Salman’s request. “I replaced the word ‘Katrina’ with ‘Jacquelina’ in a song,” Mika said, emphasizing his respect for the superstar’s wishes.

Salman, who recently celebrated his 59th birthday, continues to make headlines with his on-screen appearances and off-screen camaraderie. His cameo in the film Baby John and his close-knit relationships within the industry remain a testament to his enduring influence.
