Himesh Reshmiya apologizes, says ‘ Sorry ‘ to Asha Bhosale

Musician-singer-turning actor Himesh Reshammiya has just made peace with the melody queen Asha Bhosle. Reshammiya shocked everyone when he said that RD Burman sang through his nose leaving the otherwise affable Bhosle fuming with rage. Ashajee had asked people to slap Reshammiya. He recently sent an SMS to the songstress, begging forgiveness.

Reshammiya says, “It’s true that I did send her a message and said, ‘Sorry Ashaji if I have hurt your sentiments’. I decided to send her a personal message.”

When asked why does he look so serious all the time? He quickly admits, “I am shy. People misconstrue it as arrogance. It is one of my complexes.” And this is not the end of confessions, there are more. “Today, I accept that I am a nasal singer. I’ve been a fool not to admit this till date.

People have been saying this forever and now I agree. Also, I’m proud to be so,” says Himesh with a wink, he’s made a mental note not to smile. He adds, “Also, I deserve to be slapped for hurting Ashaji,” clarifying, “When I mentioned that RD Burman used to sing in a nasal accent, I meant that whenever one sings at such a high-pitch, the voice tends to become so. But I shouldn’t have said it. I’m really sorry, Ashaji.”

Reshammiya says that the chapter is closed now, and that Bhosle has forgiven him. “She told me that she isn’t upset with me anymore. That comes as a breather,” he says. While Bhosle couldn’t be reached, her close friend and music director, Shamir Tandon, of ‘Asha and Friends’ fame said, “She has been away in Dubai and I haven’t spoken to her. I don’t think Himesh said that intentionally. Even if Ashaji reacted, it was impulsively, not intentionally.”

Himesh Reshammiya wants to sing for is A R Rahman. A R on his part in his trademark humility says “Reshammiya is doing a good job.” And this new year will mark an unexpected turn of events in this mutual-admiration-society.

They say, all’s well that ends well.
