'My wife is a very simple girl'

July 26, 2007 13:17 IST




Himesh Reshammiya is one of the biggest success stories in Hindi cinema.

From a television serial producer to an ace music composer to an even more successful career as a singer, and finally, a star actor.

In this week's Koffee With Karan, Himesh spoke about things he has rarely talked about. He clears the air about Salman Khan [Images] and Sonu Nigam [Images], and that he is aware of the fact that large sections of the industry make fun of his singing.

He also talks about his wife and son, whom he seems to have carefully hidden all these years.

Here's a sneak preview of the show.

Karan Johar [Images]: Firstly, congratulations on the super success of your film (Aap Kaa Surroor). I know a large section of the industry was surprised. Were you expecting this kind of success?

Himesh: I just believed in God, destiny and somewhere, I think everyone just prayed for me. That is something that worked for me.


Karan: By everyone, you mean who, large sections of the industry were not praying for you...

Himesh: No, no... Only that one percent of people just felt that this can not happen, a singer not a very good looking guy...

Karan: As in, not conventional looking... not hero material?
Himesh: I think you are being nice to me. But it was something that was unprecedented when the film started. People did say, 'Paagal ho gaya hai.' I understand. But when the film was declared a hit, people realised.


Karan: There were particular people, who were somehow targeting you. Is there anyone kind of person that you felt resentment towards?

Himesh: No. I do not feel resentment towards anyone because when you try something which is unprecedented then people are going to... until you prove it. When the film released, it was declared a hit. Many people called me and congratulated me. They said that they felt it wouldn't work so it's just that I was doing something new, something different. It takes time to accept something that is unconventional.


Karan: Have you heard that behind your back, there are other singers who are making fun of you?

Himesh: Yes, of course. Why not? But, you know, when they meet me, kitne composers ke saath milne ka mauka milta hain pehli baar. Phir woh opinion badal dete hain.


Karan: But you keep very quiet about your wife. You don't talk about her?

Himesh: Because she is a very simple girl.


Karan: It's not that you feel that your image gets affected?
Himesh: No, the first time when I was asked whether I was married, I said yes.


Karan: And you have a son?
Himesh: Yes, I have a son.


Karan: What's his name?
Himesh: Swayam.
