Controversies (Mika Singh Biography)
Rakhi Sawant filed a case against Mika for forcibly kissing her on 11 June 2006.
In 2018 Singh was arrested in UAE after a case was filed against him by a Brazilian teenager model for allegedly sexually assaulting her. After this, he was sent to jail and later on released after the intervention of the Indian Embassy.
All India Cine Workers Association (AICWA) on 14 August 2019 banned singer Mika Singh from the Indian film industry for performing at an event in Karachi, Pakistan. The event in Pakistan was organized by former Pakistani president Pervez Musharraf‘s close relative. The film body further banned the singer and boycotted him from all the movies and music contracts with the entertainment companies. The association also sought the intervention of the Information and Broadcasting ministry in the matter.
