Himesh Reshammiya opened his CapMania tour in Mumbai, delighting fans with his nasal singing. Find out how he took a dig at critics.
Himesh Reshammiya opened his CapMania concert tour in Mumbai on Saturday, May 31. The singer, who has been massively trolled for his nasal tune, clapped back at critics, asking whether they wanted him to sing in his regular voice or nasal tune. He was met with loud hoots and cheers from the audience.
Himesh Reshammiya took his fans back in 2004, reminding them of simpler times. The singer-actor wore his signature cap with a long coat as he presented himself in front of a packed audience in Mumbai. Mid-concert, Himesh asked fans: 'Thoda regular gau yaa naak se? (Should I sing in a regular style or nasally?)." They requested nasal.
He asked them, 'Are you sure?" The audience said 'yes" in unison. In his high-pitched nasal tune, Himesh sang two lines of Aashiq Banaya Aapne for them.
Recently, the 51-year-old singer spoke about his nasal style of singing. He told Pinkvilla, 'Aaj toh nasal ki baat bhi nahi kar rahe hain (Nobody is making that criticism of my nasal singing these days). Many people did nasal singing after me, so many of my songs became hits."
He further explained why there was even a need for his nasal singing in Aashiq Banaya Aapne. Himesh said in the same interview, 'Actually, even though I call it nasal singing today, for me, it was never nasal, it was high-pitched singing. It was a cry for help! In the 'Aashiq Banaya' video, this guy is actually crying in pain, singing, as well as dancing."
Himesh had also responded to Janhvi Kapoor mocking his Instagram videos on Koffee With Karan – specifically one where he's working out with 'Tandoori Nights' playing in the background. 'Yes, I know. This is a very good thing. It has been so many years but the likeability of 'Tandoori Nights' remains. We have millions of views, the word 'tandoori' is very lucky for me," he said.
Meanwhile, the I Love You Saiyyoni singer expanded his horizons by stepping into acting after making an indelible mark in the music industry. The actor recently played the titular character in Badass Ravi Kumar, a film that sparked meme-fest with its dialogues, action and songs.
As for Himesh Reshammiya, he will next perform in Delhi on July 19 after a successful concert in Mumbai.
