Himesh Reshammiya constant success has become pain in a** for his competitors. Now he is being targeted by many and some of his colleagues in the music industry have backlash at him. He was also accused of plagiarism by some. But Himesh remains unperturbed by all that.

Himesh said, “I am neither hurt nor disturbed by the occasional backbiting and criticism, from some of my colleagues. By and large, the music industry has been very supportive towards my success. It is just that some people are a bit surprised by the fact that a music director who is also a singer, has walked away with all the success.”

He added, “It is probably for the first time in the music industry that a music director has also been awarded for singing but it is not as if I am a singer by fluke. I have trained in classical music from my father for several years before I got the desired effect in my voice.”

“Of the many songs that I have recorded so far, whether it is for my album, ‘Aap Ka Suroor’ or film music, there’s not a single song that hasn’t topped the charts. ‘Aksar’ is my 28th album and the acceptance has been phenomenal so far,” Reshammiya defends his success.

Recently he was called unethical by Anu Malik who refused to share the credit with him, for a T-series production, ‘Hum Ko Deewana Kar Gaye’. Reshammiya was totally taken aback by Malik outrage. “It came as a big surprise to me since I had sought a no objection from Malik before proceeding to record for the film. It was only after the producer, Bhushan Kumar got it in writing that I recorded the song,” Reshammiya explained.

In another instance, singer Sonu Nigam recently expressed his reservations about Reshammiya sweeping away the awards for the best singer. Even then also Reshammiya dismissed this off with a smile, “I respect Sonu for his great singing prowess and I’d be happy if he walks away with all the awards for the best singer. I can’t help it if the audiences go ahead and make my songs a hit or the juries unanimously vote me as the best singer”.
