Lauren Gottlieb on her first collaboration with Yo Yo Honey Singh

Lauren Gottlieb has opened up about her first collaboration with Yo Yo Honey Singh, which turned into a live music video shot on stage during a packed concert. “It was my first collaboration with Honey Singh, and it feels like it’s the first of many. It all came together very last minute, literally just a couple of days before the event they decided to shoot this music video live on stage. What excited me the most was that energy of the unknown. We were essentially vibing and improvising in front of 25,000 people, which is such a rare and electrifying experience. I think it also really highlights the importance of being ready. In this industry you never know when an opportunity to shine is going to come and there’s no time to hesitate,” she said.

Calling the experience smooth despite the scale, she added, “It was amazing. He’s such a professional, a true OG in the industry. But beyond that, he’s always been so sweet and supportive of me, which made me even more excited to support him in this incredible moment. I’ve told Honey before how much I admire his comeback, as I’m in a similar space myself - stepping back into my own, ready to take my throne again, bigger, stronger, and better than ever!”




Gottlieb, last seen on the Netflix series The Royals, said she was struck by Singh’s clarity during rehearsals. “What I discovered is how present he is. Even in rehearsals, he was very clear about what he wanted and how he envisioned everything, which I really respect. At the same time, I’m very collaborative, so I brought in my own perspective—especially when it came to camera angles and creating key moments. The routine was beautifully choreographed by Rajit Dev, and then between Honey, Rajit, and myself, we really refined it together. One moment that stood out to me was right at the beginning—when I walked on stage toward Honey, I gave him this look like a ‘here we go’ kind of smile. I could tell he didn’t expect it and he threw me a huge smile back. I wanted to set the tone from the very start that it’s just me and him in this moment. Because once the performance started, it became quite sensual and intimate, and to make that work, you really have to tune out the 25,000 people around you and just lock into each other.”



She also hinted that this may not be a one-off. “Yeah, I definitely feel like Honey and I are overdue for a proper music video together. But in this industry, everything really comes down to relationships—and I’ve made my support for him very clear. Now he’s been able to see up close what I bring to the table, this moment really builds the foundation for something bigger. The fans have also shown so much love for us together, which is amazing, because it means the demand is there. So I truly feel like we have all the ingredients to create a really kick-ass music video together in the future.”Get the latest entertainment updates from the Times of India, along with the latest Hindi movies, upcoming Hindi movies in 2026 , and Telugu movies.”
