Himesh Reshammiya Breaks Silence On People Making Jokes On His Singing, 'Regular Gau Ya Naak Se'

Himesh Reshammiya, who is one of Bollywood’s most known singer-composers, recently took the stage in Mumbai to address one of the longest debates regarding his singing style. He has given hits like Aashiq Banaya Aapne, Tera Suroor and more. He has been praised a lot for his unique songs but, on the other hand, he has also been criticised for his nasal voice. At this concert, instead of ignoring the debate, Himesh added some humor, showing that after decades in the industry, he remains confident and self-aware.

During his concert in Mumbai, Himesh Reshammiya didn’t avoid the years-long question about his nasal tone. Instead, in between a few lines from Aashiq Banaya Aapne, he stopped and jokingly asked:

“Thoda regular gau yaa naak se?”

This playful question got a loud cheer and laughter from the crowd. Himesh Reshammiya clarified that from his point of view, he was always doing high-pitch singing, not intentionally nasal singing. He also said, without any hesitation, that he was the one who introduced nasal singing to Bollywood.
