Himeshji: Interview!!!
Himesh Reshamiya seems to have toned down from a man who called himself the ‘Global rock star†to one who doesn’t hesitate in praising arch rival Sonu Nigam. The pop singer chatted about all this and more with TIMES NOW correspondent Pratiksha Menon.
Interview excerpts
P: He is a man who dons many caps – singer, would-be actor, performer. Let me ask him – Himesh, what would you describe yourself as?
H: Someone who’s been really blessed by lakhs and crores of people. The people who criticised me were always the one percent. These are the same people who gave me the critic awards also last year incidentally – and popular awards too. So that’s why I say, just 1% are against me, and I’m trying to win them over, I’ll work even harder and I will succeed.
P: Could you call ‘Namaste London’ a gamble?
H: It was not a gamble. ‘Chakhna Chakhna’, the music was just released yesterday (January 31), and I think in one week it’ll be in all the clubs, and in two weeks it’ll be in all the autorickshaws.
P: In a way, you have trampled on a lot of egos. So do you think it was in a sort of reply that Sonu Nigam held a concert immediately afterwards here?
H: Sonu Nigam is the best singer of India. I think this media controversy regarding Sonu Nigam (and me) has been really blown out of proportion. I don’t know what he has to say about me, but I think he’s the best.
P: We would really like to know about your debut film as an actor, is it a biography? Is it about Himesh?
H: ‘Aap kaa Surroor: The Real Love Story’ is a commercial potboiler, a Bollywood film, a thriller, fast-paced, very commercial. Not at all autobiographical.
It’s called ‘The Real Love Story’ because only the Romance angle has been inspired from real life – in the sense that it answers a hundred questions people ask me like, why do I always look sad, why don’t I smile, why are all the ladies always leaving me, who gave me the cap, what about my beard…so many questions!
