Himesh Reshammiya Reveals His ‘Nasal’ Singing ‘Was A Cry For Help’; Believes It Began A New Trend

Himesh Reshammiya recently expressed that he doesn’t consider his singing style as nasal, but rather as high-pitched singing. Currently receiving accolades for his film Badass Ravikumar, Himesh has made a mark as a popular singer with iconic tracks like Tandoori Nights and Aashiq Banaya, which have become cult favourites. When he first began his career, his distinctive ‘nasal’ singing drew both praise and ridicule, yet he remained undeterred.

Himesh Reshammiya Does NOT Consider His Singing As Nasal

In a conversation with Pinkvilla, Himesh stated, “Right now, no one is even talking about nasal singing. Many artists adopted this style after me, and a multitude of my songs turned into hits. Although I refer to it as nasal singing today, to me, it was never nasal; it was high-pitched singing—it was a cry for help! In the video for Aashiq Banaya, the character is genuinely crying in pain while singing and dancing.”

He also shared a valuable piece of advice from Akshay Kumar regarding handling criticism: “Akshay ji always says, ‘We have all these formulas, listen to someone else’s point of view and then improve on it. If they have a certain perspective, work on it and prove them wrong. Today, I have witnessed the rewards of my hard work with Badass Ravikumar.’

Himesh commented, “What I see as a 6 may look like a 9 to you; perspective is subjective. One shouldn’t feel disheartened by criticism. When Aashiq Banaya was released, it faced a lot of trolling, but ultimately, the same people ended up dancing to it in clubs.”

Reflecting on his collaboration with Akshay Kumar, Himesh shared, “I made my home production Khiladi 786 with Akshay ji. We’ve worked on so many films together, and our pairing has a 100% success rate.” He added, “No song has even reached a 99 in terms of views or listenership. I believe there’s something divine about these combinations.”
