On the work front, Honey Singh is joining hands with dancing diva Nora Fatehi for the music video titled “Payal.” On November 17, the makers released the teaser of the song on social media, captioning it: "It’s time for the next BIG THING.

In the clip, he is heard saying, “Today, we are in Alwar, and from here, we are going to Vrindavan. These are our brothers standing here from Uttarakhand, and they run a dhaba where they have employed 70 people. It's always said that the people from Uttarakhand make very good food.” “They all have left their homes to work here, and they are working very hard. So, all Uttarakhand people keep working hard and keep bringing smiles to the faces.” Sharing the video, the actor wrote in the caption, “Uttarakhand walon ka jawaab nahin #supportsmallbusiness.”
