Mika Singh's name became embroiled in a major controversy in 2006 after a video from his birthday party showed him kissing Rakhi Sawant. The incident sparked widespread criticism and eventually resulted in a police case.
Now, while discussing his past controversies, Mika has revisited the incident in a recent conversation with Times Now. He said that one thing about his controversies is that they do not repeat themselves.
Mika made the comment while reflecting on the various controversies he has faced throughout his career.
“If I Kiss Someone Once, I Won’t Do It 10 Times”
Mika was asked about the controversies that have followed him over the years. Responding in his characteristic style, the singer said that his controversies never repeat.
He then referred to the Rakhi Sawant incident, saying that if he had kissed someone once, he would not do it ten times.
The remark was made while discussing the lessons he believes he has learned from past controversies. Mika also admitted that he was young at the time of the 2006 incident and did not have the maturity he has today.
Mika Says He Was “A Child” at the Time
Looking back at the incident, Mika said that he was young and lacked the understanding he has developed with age.
The singer has previously offered his own account of what happened at the birthday party. In a 2024 interview, he disputed the widely reported description of the incident and gave his version of the events.
However, the controversy became much bigger than the party itself after footage of the incident circulated publicly.
What Happened Between Mika and Rakhi in 2006?
The incident took place at Mika's birthday party in Mumbai in June 2006. A video showing Mika kissing Rakhi became widely circulated, leading to a major public controversy.
Rakhi subsequently filed a police complaint against the singer. The case involved allegations under provisions of the Indian Penal Code, including Section 354 and Section 323.
The controversy remained associated with both celebrities for years and became one of the most talked-about celebrity disputes of that era.
The Legal Battle Eventually Came to an End
The legal chapter of the controversy was eventually closed.
In 2023, the Bombay High Court quashed the FIR and chargesheet against Mika Singh after Rakhi gave her consent. Her affidavit stated that the two had resolved their differences and had resumed cordial relations.
The court also noted that Rakhi had said she had no objection to the case being quashed and did not wish to pursue her complaint.
The development effectively brought the long-running legal dispute to an end.
Mika Says He and Rakhi Are Now Good Friends
Despite their controversial past, Mika says his relationship with Rakhi is very different today.
In his latest conversation, the singer said that the two are now good friends and that they speak regularly. He also praised Rakhi for the way she has remained relevant in the entertainment industry over the years.
Mika said that people may love Rakhi or dislike her, but they cannot easily ignore her. He also praised her ability to command attention whenever a camera is switched on.
Mika Praises Rakhi’s Staying Power
Mika also compared Rakhi's longevity with the brief popularity that many reality-show contestants experience.
According to him, contestants can win reality shows and become famous for a while, only to be forgotten by audiences the following year. He believes Rakhi is different because she has remained recognisable to audiences for years.
The singer described her ability to attract attention as one of her strongest qualities.
What Mika Singh Says About Controversies Today
Mika also explained that he does not allow controversies to dominate his life.
He suggested that public figures will inevitably face criticism or difficult situations at some point and that people should learn to move forward rather than remain stuck in the past.
For Mika, the 2006 controversy is now a chapter from his early career rather than something that defines his present relationship with Rakhi.
