In support of Himesh Reshammiya

Its very convenient to dismiss and criticize Himesh Reshammiya. Yes he sounds nasal and sings most of his songs in high pitch. So what ? No one is claiming that he is the best singer in the world. No matter who are you, you need to admit that Himesh is a talented person … a rare combination of confidence, talent and entrepreneurship.

Why do people hate him ? He is a great business man .. he knows what sells. His songs sell like anything … and he has churned out more hits than most composers deliver in their entire lifetime. Yes, they may be similar sounding .. but people are buying it. He came to limelight as a singer with Ashique Banaya and it was nicely sung. Himesh Reshammiya received multiple Best Singer awards for this song. If HR’s movie Aap Ka Suroor is making waves, its because he is singing his own songs and hes acting in his music albums. Its all about marketing and Himesh is amazing in that. The baseball cap, the beard, the look. And people lined up at his movie just to find out why ?

A lot of stars tried that in the past. Sonu Nigam tried to act and failed miserably. Abhijeet looked like a joker in his music albums. Aadesh Srivastava shouts out to the crowd at Amul Voice of India in an attempt to create an image. Everyone is trying that … and thats because Himesh has shown that you can earn money and fame by singing or composing behind the camera but real money and fame comes to you when people recognize you and identify with you. Check the latest movies … for eg. Metro where Pritam and his band appears (quite oddly) in every song. This helps them sell out shows and brings in the real money. Himesh Reshammiya ’s world tour sold out .. every show was packed and these were not small stadiums but ones like Wembley.

As a person, you may not like Himesh. But well thats how he is. He is extremely passionate about his work and only his work. He could come across as a proud and arrogant person but if you try to know him you will realize that he never insults anyone, neither does he try to pull anyone down and apologizes at the first opportunity.

If you are a singer, you will definitely hate Himesh … mainly because you think that he undeservingly got the fame. But cummon .. why be jealous.. let him enjoy his .. you go for yours. As Himesh Reshammiya believes .. “I am no longer unhappy at others success. I learned that one should be happy at his own success and others success too”.
