Controversies

Rakhi Sawant

In 2006, Mika landed himself in trouble after kissing Bollywood item girl Rakhi Sawant at his 29th birthday party. The incident saw Mika forcibly kiss Rakhi Sawant on her lips during his birthday bash. Rakhi was clearly not amused and filed a case of molestation against the singer. While Mika said that Rakhi had kissed him first, prompting him to reply in kind, she said that he misbehaved with her.^[7]

Hit-and-run case

According to media reports, in 2014, the singer was charged for knocking down an auto rickshaw causing serious injuries to the passenger. However, the singer denied and later clarified that he was not driving the vehicle.^[8]

Legal battle with Sonu Nigam

Singer Sonu Nigam filed and later won a defamation case against him for using his images without his consent. The dispute was regarding the publicity of the Mirchi Music awards. The defendants had put up billboards and hoardings containing Sonu Nigam's image advertising the awards ceremony, without Sonu's consent. These hoardings were different from the official hoardings put up by Mirchi Music Awards itself. The official hoardings had also contained pictures of Sonu, but Mirchi Music Awards had obtained Sonu's permission.

Sonu therefore filed a suit in the Bombay High Court for unauthorised infringement of his personality rights. The plaintiffs also pleaded that the posters, having shown Mika to be 'larger in stature' than Sonu and other singers, were defamatory to Sonu Nigam.

Slapped a doctor at a concert

In April 2015 a concert was organised by the Delhi Ophthalmological Society (DOS) as part of their three-day conference. During his performance, some of the audience was stage for an activity and during the activity something that the doctor did supposedly annoyed Mika who pulled him ahead and slapped him, as per the video of the incident posted online. The victim, Shrikant, an ophthalmologist posted at Ambedkar Hospital, had suffered some internal injury inside his left ear due to the assault. The Delhi Police had earlier registered a case of causing hurt and wrongful restraint against him, but he was given bail hours after his arrest.^[9]
