Last Updated: Himesh Reshammiya kicked off his Cap Mania tour with a memorable concert in Mumbai that has given everyone else FOMO. Ooooooooo… Aashiq banaya. 'You just had to be there." 'It was a complete riot." 'That was the best concert of my life. Period." Resounding reviews have emerged from those who attended the highly anticipated concert by Indian musician, actor, and heartthrob Himesh Reshammiya in Mumbai. The concert, a part of Reshammiya's maiden 'Cap Mania Tour" in India, is all over Instagram and understandably so. Dressed in a long coat, and donning a cap, the veteran musician had seats on his time machine. His fans hopped in to travel back to the golden era of Hindi music. Reshammiya aka Lord Himesh had a sold-out show. That over 11,000 people reportedly turned up to watch the hat-donning rockstar is no coincidence, and those who missed out on rocking to the tunes of the legend are now having an existential crisis. Himesh Reshammiya If you are new to the concept or aura of Himesh Reshammiya, don't fret. We have a crash course for you. It'll be a minute, stick around. Reshammiya began strongly in his debut albums for Bollywood. Started as a Hindi music director in 1998's Bandhan and Pyaar Kiya To Darna Kya, the musician catapulted to stardom in the early 2000s when he held the mic and began collaborating with Emraan Hashmi. It worked. Reshammiya soon became a popular face in music videos. These played all the time on the television because listeners made requests to the music channels to play his music. The craze was such, that many millennial kids couldn't tell Hashmi and Reshammiya apart. And he is no one-hit-wonder. The 51-year-old has had bangers after bangers in his musical arsenal. 'Aashiq Banaya Aapne,' 'Aap Ki Kashish,' 'Tumse Milna,' 'Jhalak Dikhlaja,' 'Tera Suroor,' 'Odh Li Chunariya,' 'Jumme Ki Raat,' 'Hookah Bar,' 'Teri Yaad' – the list is bottomless, but you get the drift. When he wasn't singing, Reshammiya was acting in movies. Aap Kaa Surroor (2007), Karzzzz (2008), and most recently Badass Ravi Kumar (2025). The singer and musician may have lacked acting chops, but audiences have, in the past two decades, flocked to watch his meme-worthy cinema. The movies that get put under the 'so bad that it's so good" trope. The amount of hype around Badass Ravi Kumar which was released earlier this year was a testament to Lord Himesh's mass appeal. The audience could sniff out the self-awareness in the otherwise over-the-top chaos that the movie was. FOMO The Cap Mania tour's virality on social media has given everyone who couldn't be there in Mumbai the FOMO (fear of missing out) of a lifetime. It shouldn't come as a surprise that the mere use of the term 'fomo" shot up on social media after videos of Reshammiya's performance from the Mumbai concert began flooding fans' timelines. itna fomo ho raha hai I need to go to himesh reshamiya on tour— kru ⊹⋆.˚ (@sapphic4lwt) June 1, 2025 Himesh Reshammiya, we need another concert in mumbai!!! #Fomo — Ish (@ARSEN_arteta) June 2, 2025 Embracing The Meme It would be criminal not to mention that the singer, musician, and actor is a self-aware king.
