Singh shares to a website about the same, "It was a terrible phase for me. A lot was going on with my mental well-being. I had become an alcoholic as well. I used not to sleep, so the disease started growing slowly inside me. It took me 3-4 months to accept that I'm not well. It was a dark phase, and I would request everyone not to hide it. Significantly, an artists is like a mirror for an audience. When we can share every bit of our lives, why not this?

He further adds, "People asked me where I had disappeared for two and a half years. So then, I felt it's important to speak up. I was unwell, and I got well. I remember making Dheere Dheere for Hrithik Roshan during that phase, and it turned out to be the biggest hit at that time."

They all prayed for me to get well and main theek ho gaya."
