Bollywood News: Singer Mika Singh has shared two amusing memories involving his elder brother, Daler Mehndi, revealing how the celebrated singer once fooled him with a food-related prank and later tricked him into believing he was communicating with Bollywood megastar Amitabh Bachchan.
Mika recalled these incidents during a special Navratri episode of Kaun Banega Crorepati 18. His stories offered a glimpse into his early days in the music industry, when he was still learning how to navigate professional relationships and interact with established celebrities.
The anecdotes also highlighted the playful bond between the two singer brothers, whose personal relationship has produced plenty of memorable moments over the years.
1. Daler Mehndi’s Jaya Bachchan Food Prank
Mika Singh’s first story took him back to the shoot of Daler Mehndi’s popular song Na Na Na Na Re. At the time, Mika was a young musician with long hair, playing the guitar in the background.
He remembered the excitement of seeing Amitabh Bachchan arrive on the set and sit beside him. Mika said he was holding his guitar and playing while facing the other direction, and he still has a photograph from that memorable encounter.
The young singer was relatively new to the industry and admitted that he did not always know how to interact with people around him.
That unfamiliarity gave Daler the perfect opportunity to play a prank.
According to Mika, a huge quantity of food arrived on the set, enough to resemble a feast from a roadside eatery. Daler told his younger brother that the food had been sent by Jaya Bachchan.
Mika believed him and happily started eating, delighted by the thought that the food had come from the Bachchan family.
However, the truth soon emerged. Someone told Mika that the food had actually been arranged for the shoot and had not been sent by Jaya Bachchan at all.
Mika then realised that Daler had fooled him. The incident became one of the funny memories he continues to associate with his early days in the entertainment industry.
2. Daler Mehndi’s Amitabh Bachchan Phone Prank
The second prank was even more elaborate and involved Mika’s admiration for Amitabh Bachchan.
Years later, when Mika’s songs began gaining popularity, he managed to obtain the superstar’s phone number. Excited by the opportunity to contact one of his idols, Mika started sending him messages and links to his songs.
He hoped that Amitabh would eventually notice his music and respond.
According to Mika, after around six months, he received a short reply: “Good.”
The simple message made him extremely happy. He recalled jumping on his bed with excitement and immediately sharing the news with Daler Mehndi.
Daler then offered to arrange a telephone conversation between Mika and Amitabh Bachchan. Mika believed the person on the other end of the call was the real superstar and spoke to him with great respect.
Only later did Daler reveal that he had played another prank, arranging for Mika to speak with someone impersonating Amitabh Bachchan.
The revelation left Mika embarrassed but also gave him another story to remember from his relationship with his brother.
3. Amitabh Bachchan Asked Mika Why He Stopped Messaging
The prank eventually led to an awkward but memorable encounter with the real Amitabh Bachchan.
Mika recalled attending the premiere of one of his songs, where Bachchan was also present. By then, Mika believed he had been fooled and felt uncomfortable about the messages he had previously sent.
He tried to avoid the veteran actor, but Bachchan noticed him and called him over.
According to Mika, Amitabh asked him why he had stopped sending messages.
The question surprised Mika, who had assumed his earlier attempts to contact the actor were no longer relevant. The interaction showed that Bachchan had noticed the messages and was happy to receive them.
The experience reportedly increased Mika’s admiration for the superstar, particularly because Bachchan had responded warmly rather than making him feel uncomfortable.
4. Mika Singh Recalls His First Meeting With Big B
Mika’s memories also offered a glimpse of his first encounter with Amitabh Bachchan during the Na Na Na Na Re shoot.
At the time, Mika was focused on performing well as a musician and did not realise how memorable the experience would become.
He recalled that Bachchan sat beside him while he played the guitar, and he still has a photograph from that day.
The story reflects the excitement many young performers experience when they first meet an established star they admire. For Mika, the encounter became even more memorable because it was connected to Daler’s food prank and the friendship that developed with the Bachchan family.
5. KBC 18 Brings Out Mika’s Funny Side
Mika shared these memories during a special festive episode of Kaun Banega Crorepati 18, hosted by Amitabh Bachchan on Sony Entertainment Television.
The programme frequently combines quiz questions with conversations about guests’ lives, careers and personal experiences. Mika’s stories added a light-hearted element to the episode, bringing together humour, nostalgia and his admiration for the Bachchan family.
His recollections also highlighted Daler Mehndi’s mischievous side and the close relationship between the brothers.
A Family Prank That Became a Lasting Memory
Mika Singh’s stories about Daler Mehndi demonstrate how small incidents can become cherished memories over time. Whether it was convincing his younger brother that Jaya Bachchan had sent food or arranging a call with an Amitabh Bachchan impersonator, Daler’s pranks left Mika with stories he can now share with audiences.
The anecdotes also reveal Mika’s admiration for Amitabh Bachchan, whose warm response to the singer’s messages helped turn an embarrassing misunderstanding into a positive memory.
For viewers, the stories provided an entertaining look at the personalities behind some of the Indian music industry’s most recognisable names.
