• Babin Mew Free from copyright violations according to Earwig's -- it just flags quotations. The Times of India is cited a few times in this article, which should be avoided if possible according to WP:TIMESOFINDIA. I can't find in any of the sources this has song became one of his most famous. Can you give me a quotation from a source and also replace the Times of India sources with more reliable ones if possible? ―Panamitsu (talk) 08:19, 6 September 2026 (UTC)

Sure. "Rapper-singer Honey Singh recently opened up about his past chart-topping songs, expressing criticism of his own work. In an interview with The Lallantop, a sister channel of India Today, he referred to 'Sunny Sunny' from the film 'Yaariyan' as 'the most stupid song' he had ever written." () "Singer Honey Singh recently opened up about his least favourite song. In a candid chat with The Lallantop, the rapper-singer called his own chart-topping track Sunny Sunny from Yaariyan 'the most stupid song' he ever wrote."

Babin Mew, Thanks for removing the Times of India sources. Which part of the sources say that it is "one of his most famous" songs? I see mentions of "chart-topping", but not that it was one of his most famous songs. A song could top the charts without it being one of the singer's most famous songs, or am I wrong? If this is too much of an issue I'm happy to approve an alternative hook that doesn't mention the popularity, but that would be less interesting of course. ―Panamitsu (talk) 07:01, 7 September 2026 (UTC)

If separate citations are allowed for the purpose of stating that this song is one of his most popular, then here are probably some: "Yo Yo Honey Singh, popular for numbers like Blue Eyes and Sunny Sunny, will set out on an eight-city tour in the country, as a part of LIVE Viacom18's new annual property MTV Super Stage." () "With songs like 'Lungi Dance' (Chennai Express), 'Sunny Sunny' (Yaariyan) 'Party All Night' (Boss) and 'Baby Ko Bass Pasand Hai' (Sultan), Singh was not only creating chart-toppers with immense recall value, he was also shaking a leg with the biggest stars of the Bollywood filmdom." () "From Sunny Sunny to Desi Kalakar, Singh has given several hits over the years and has been making waves with his concerts." () If separate citations are not allowed, then I guess it is a bit of a problem and has to be removed. Babin Mew (talk) 06:40, 8 September 2026 (UTC)

Ok I guess that's good enough. Approved. ―Panamitsu (talk) 07:38, 8 September 2026 (UTC)

I think the phrasing of this hook needs work. What about:

• ALT1: ... that the singer of "Sunny Sunny" described it as "the most stupid song I have ever written"?
