As soon as the name of Himesh Reshammiya comes to mind, a voice full of romance comes to mind. Born on 23 July 1973 in a Gujarati family in Mumbai, Himesh Reshammiya is one of those Bollywood stars who have made a special place in the hearts of the audience with his unique voice and music. However, his journey was not easy. He was also made fun of because of his special voice, and people taunted him in various ways. At one time, his style of singing through his nose was mocked, but today that style has become his identity. Himesh has left his mark not only as a great singer but also as a musician, lyricist, actor, and producer. Who is Himesh Reshamiya's father? Himesh Reshammiya's father, Vipin Reshammiya, was a famous musician from whom Himesh got inspiration for music. At the age of just 11, Himesh lost his elder brother which had a deep impact on his life. Initially, Himesh was not inclined towards music, but to fulfill his father's wish, he stepped into this field. This decision proved to be the turning point of his life. When did Himesh make his debut? Himesh made his Bollywood debut as a music composer in 1998 with the film 'Pyar Kiya To Darna Kya' starring Salman Khan, Kajol, Dharmendra and Arbaaz Khan. After this, his music in films like 'Hello Brother', 'Kurukshetra', 'Jodi No. 1' and 'Humraaz' caught the attention of the audience. He got his first Filmfare nomination for 'Humraaz'. However, real success came in 2003 with the film 'Tere Naam', whose music album became the highest-selling album of that year. This film made Himesh one of the top composers of Bollywood.

Bollywood's most expensive song, was edited 105 times, the singer sang it in..., lead actors were...
Bollywood's most expensive song, was edited 105 times, the singer sang it in..., lead actors were... Mughal-e-Azam , released in 1970, continues to stand as one of the most iconic films in Bollywood's history. Its powerful dialogues, timeless songs and unforgettable scenes carved a special place in audiences hearts. Shot 65 years ago, the period film stars legendary actors like Dilip Kumar, Prithviraj Kapoor, Madhubala, Durga Khote and Nigar Sultana in lead roles. Among its many memorable elements, the song Pyar Kiya To Darna Kya remains a cult classic and holds some fascinating stories behind its making. Shot at Mohan Studios in grandly constructed set, measuring 150 feet in length, 80 feet in width, 35 feet in height, it took two years to develop. The cost of the overall set was over Rs 1 crore, more than the total budget of any Hindi film at that time. Several industry experts claim that if the song was shot in today's scenario, its estimated cost would have been around Rs 55 crore. Music director Naushad Ali and lyricist Shakeel Badayuni were highly particular in composing the song. Naushad got it re-written multiple times before finalising the actual one. The song was edited about 105 times, until it was finally approved. Voiced by the legendary Lata Mangeshkar, the song was shot with the help of an echo effect, which was quite a rare technique at the time. Apparently, Naushad wanted to experiment with something different, so his creative mind thought of an idea, and made Lata Mangeshkar sang in a bathroom studio to give that in-depth echo effect to the song. The extensive efforts and collaborative hard work put into the song and the film finally paid off as Mughal-e-Azam became the biggest blockbuster. Hence, the song Pyar Kiya To Darna Kya remains one of the most celebrated Bollywood songs of all time.
