Chugh honoured him with a shawl during the meeting.
Honey Singh’s anti-drug campaign marks a sharp shift from a career often criticised for songs accused of glorifying substance abuse and misogyny. Despite past controversies, the rapper has recently spoken openly about his addiction struggles. He has also supported anti-drug awareness efforts in Punjab.
