Mumbai, November 9, 2026 (Yes Punjab News)
Singer Mika Singh has opened up about the emotional reasons behind his decision to celebrate Diwali this year, revealing that the loss of a few close friends had initially left him unwilling to mark the festival.
Mika eventually changed his mind, choosing to spend the occasion in Delhi with his family, friends, team members and staff. Sharing a video from the celebrations on social media, he explained that while the absence of loved ones can make festivals difficult, it is equally important to value those who continue to stand by us.
The singer said he initially did not feel like celebrating because the loss of close friends had left a deep void in his life.
Reflecting on what changed his decision, Mika wrote: “We always remember and miss the people who have left us, but what about the people who are still here? The people who love us, stand by us, care for us and are always there as our well-wishers.”
He added in Hindi, “Jo chale gaye, shayad Bhagwan ko unki zarurat thi… Lekin jo aaj hamare saath hain, unhe bhi toh humara pyaar aur waqt milna chahiye.”
Emphasising the importance of cherishing relationships, Mika said life is precious and people should use the time they have to spread happiness, share love and create meaningful memories with those around them.
He also offered prayers for everyone’s well-being, including those who are no longer alive, and sought Waheguru’s blessings for happiness, good health, peace and prosperity.
The post comes shortly after Mika paid an emotional tribute to filmmaker Sanjay Gupta, remembering his contribution to the singer’s journey in Bollywood.
