Mika Singh makes shocking statement about THIS Bollywood superstar; says she does not give due credit

Bollywood popular singer Mika Singh recently left everyone shocked with his latest statement about a female superstar. Can you guess who he was talking about?

In a recent interview, Mika reminded the audience of Deepika Padukone's presence in Naam Hai Tera music video. He said that the diva does not give Himesh Reshammiya his due credit for launching her. Yes, you read that right! Deepika made her Bollywood debut with Farah Khan's Om Shanti Om opposite Shah Rukh Khan. Within no time, she became a superstar and is now one of the highest-paid actresses in the industry. Mika said on Shubhankar Mishra's podcast, "Deepika doesn't like to admit it, but she should. More newcomers will learn from her on how to grow in the industry."

Earlier in an interview with Pinkvilla, Himesh Reshammiya was asked about launching Deepika Padukone and he said, "We launched many other girls, but they didn't become Deepika Padukone. So, the whole credit goes to her. She starred in the music video of Naam Hai Tera, and she was a star from day one. She was fantastic. Her dedication, hard work, and screen presence were good even back then."

Deepika had appeared on the singing reality show Indian Idol, where Himesh Reshammiya was a judge and she spoke her heart out about her appearance in the Naam Hai Tera music video. She even credited him for teaching her how to shoot and face the camera. She said, "I knew nothing about shooting when I was shortlisted for the music video. I never went to a film set or knew how music videos are shot. Whatever I am doing today, I have learned it while filming the music video. Thank you, sir, for giving me this opportunity. You had faith in me when nobody else did."

On the work front, Deepika was last seen in Kalki 2898 AD and Singham Again. As per reports, Deepika might be part of King with Shah Rukh Khan, Suhana Khan, Abhishek Bachchan, and Abhay Verma.
