Mumbai: Rapper Yo Yo Honey Singh took to social media to refute all the allegations of domestic violence filed against him by his wife Shalini Talwar. She alleged sexual violence, mental harassment, cheating and financial fraud against him. Calling them ‘false and malicious,’ Honey Singh has requested his fans not to draw any conclusion about him and his family while the case is going on.

“I am deeply pained and distressed by the false and malicious allegations levied against me and my family by my companion/wife of 20 years, Mrs. Shalini Talwar. The allegations are severely odious (sic).”

“I have never issued a public statement or press note in the past despite being subjected to harsh criticism for my lyrics, speculation on my health, & negative media coverage in general. However, I see no merit in maintaining a studied silence this time because some of the allegations have been directed at my family my old parents and younger sister who have stood by me during some very difficult and trying times and comprise my world. The allegations are cynical and defaming in nature,” Honey Singh said in his statement.
