Singer Mika Singh shared how he tried to get Javed Akhtar's attention at an award show after the lyricist ignored him. Speaking on The Lallantop, he said, "I jumped on...table, and pulled his ear...His head twisted backwards, I touched his feet and told him...I'm a great fan. He said, 'Jaao'." Mika also called himself "a little ill-mannered".
