Singer Mika Singh, who is known as much for his music as for his flair for controversy, has once again made headlines, this time for a bold anecdote about an old run-in with Indian Customs officials. In a recent chat with YouTuber Shubhankar Mishra, Mika recounted how a moment of anger led him to tweet that he was entering India with USD 2 lakh in foreign currency, daring officials to stop him.Mika Singh vs CustomsThe incident dates back to a time when IRS officer Sameer Wankhede allegedly stopped Mika and his band members at the airport for carrying foreign currency exceeding the permissible limit. “Sameer Wankhede — he is my good friend now — stopped me once. The members of my band were also with me. At that time, each person was allowed to carry USD 1,000. Now I think the permissible limit is USD 10,000,” Mika said.He recalled being upset when told he couldn’t carry the amount, and how news quickly spread outside the airport that he had been ‘detained.’ “I hadn’t even heard that word before. I was so sad,” he admitted.Tweet that triggered chaosWhat happened next was pure Mika-style drama. “I became very angry, particularly since I used to do a lot of shows for the Customs department. Then, I tweeted saying, ‘I am coming with USD 2 lakh; catch me if you can!’” he shared. True to his prediction, the airport was teeming with officials when he landed. “It was like Dawood Ibrahim was about to step out wearing gold around the neck,” he quipped.

Mika clarified that the tweet was made in jest and said he never expected officials to take it seriously. “I posted it without giving it much thought. I asked them, ‘What did you guys think — that I would actually bring USD 2 lakh with me? I’m not some idiot.’”In the end, though his dollar joke fizzled out, the officials still found something to act upon. “I had two bottles of premium scotch whisky with me. They imposed customs duty on that instead,” he concluded with a laugh.

In 2024, Karan Johar made headlines when he sold a 50 percent stake of his production company, Dharma Productions, to Serum Institute of India CEO Adar Poonawalla for a staggering Rs 1,000 crore. In a recent conversation with Raj Shamani, the filmmaker opened up about the motivation behind the move, citing the need for growth and long-term expansion.Inherited his father Yash Johar’s reputation, not financial securitySpeaking about the evolution of Dharma Productions, Karan admitted that while his father Yash Johar founded the company, its success only began post-1998 with his directorial debut Kuch Kuch Hota Hai. “Before Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, we had five flops in a row. What I inherited from my father was goodwill, not money,” Karan shared, highlighting how the emotional and reputational legacy of his father fueled his journey, not a financial head start.Karan also reflected on the earlier collaborative model of filmmaking at Dharma, revealing that most profits had to be shared with partners. “We couldn’t finance films on our own ability, so our biggest hits had partners. But I wanted profitability to stay within Dharma. That’s when I stopped doing collaborative projects,” he said.Post-1998, hits like Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham, Kal Ho Naa Ho, and Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna turned the tide for Dharma Productions. But it wasn’t an easy journey. After the death of his father in 2004, Karan leaned on his childhood friend and current CEO of Dharma, Apoorva Mehta. “He left his life in London overnight to help me. Till date, I have zero business acumen, but a strong instinct. Apoorva handles the business, I handle the creative,” Karan added.Strategic partnership with Adar PoonawallaExplaining why he brought Adar Poonawalla on board as an equity partner, Karan said, “In 2023, we realised we had to scale. Organic growth would have taken us 5–7 more years. We needed capital. Today, I’m very happy with Adar. He’s a wonderful human being with sharp instincts. Now I feel accountable—this is someone else’s money. I have to deliver success.”

Karan also addressed criticisms that Dharma didn’t have a particularly profitable 2024. “Kill was critically appreciated, Mr & Mrs Mahi made money, Bad Newz was profitable, Jigra broke even. We’re now producing our first Punjabi film Akaal, and Dhadak 2 is coming soon. We’re bullish,” he asserted.Reflecting on the highs and lows of showbiz, Karan concluded with characteristic candour: “I don’t take success seriously or failure to heart. I don’t mind a flop. I just don’t like average films. If I’m wrong, tell me—I’ll learn and move forward.”
