Himesh Reshammiya Claps Back At Trolls, Asks 'Regular Gau Ya Naak Se?' At Mumbai Concert
Last Updated: Himesh Reshammiya opened his CapMania tour in Mumbai, delighting fans with his nasal singing. Find out how he took a dig at critics. Himesh Reshammiya opened his CapMania concert tour in Mumbai on Saturday, May 31. The singer, who has been massively trolled for his nasal tune, clapped back at critics, asking whether they wanted him to sing in his regular voice or nasal tune. He was met with loud hoots and cheers from the audience. Himesh Reshammiya took his fans back in 2004, reminding them of simpler times. The singer-actor wore his signature cap with a long coat as he presented himself in front of a packed audience in Mumbai. Mid-concert, Himesh asked fans: 'Thoda regular gau yaa naak se? (Should I sing in a regular style or nasally?)." They requested nasal. He asked them, 'Are you sure?" The audience said 'yes" in unison. In his high-pitched nasal tune, Himesh sang two lines of Aashiq Banaya Aapne for them. Recently, the 51-year-old singer spoke about his nasal style of singing. He told Pinkvilla, 'Aaj toh nasal ki baat bhi nahi kar rahe hain (Nobody is making that criticism of my nasal singing these days). Many people did nasal singing after me, so many of my songs became hits." He further explained why there was even a need for his nasal singing in Aashiq Banaya Aapne. Himesh said in the same interview, 'Actually, even though I call it nasal singing today, for me, it was never nasal, it was high-pitched singing. It was a cry for help! In the 'Aashiq Banaya' video, this guy is actually crying in pain, singing, as well as dancing." Himesh had also responded to Janhvi Kapoor mocking his Instagram videos on Koffee With Karan – specifically one where he's working out with 'Tandoori Nights' playing in the background. 'Yes, I know. This is a very good thing. It has been so many years but the likeability of 'Tandoori Nights' remains. We have millions of views, the word 'tandoori' is very lucky for me," he said. Meanwhile, the I Love You Saiyyoni singer expanded his horizons by stepping into acting after making an indelible mark in the music industry. The actor recently played the titular character in Badass Ravi Kumar, a film that sparked meme-fest with its dialogues, action and songs. As for Himesh Reshammiya, he will next perform in Delhi on July 19 after a successful concert in Mumbai. First Published: June 01, 2025, 13:33 IST

Himesh Reshammiya takes a dig at critics, asks fans at Mumbai concert 'regular gau yaa naak se?'
Himesh Reshammiya has responded to long-standing criticism of his singing style, addressing the debate head-on during a recent concert in Mumbai. Speaking to a cheering audience, the singer-composer asked whether they preferred his singing in a "regular" tone or in his widely recognised "nasal" manner — a vocal style that has often divided opinion on social media. In the video, after singing two lines of Aashiq Banaya Aapne, Himesh asks the audience, "Thoda regular gau yaa naak se?" (Should I sing in a regular style or nasally?) The 51-year-old artist, who rose to fame in the early 2000s with a string of hit songs, reflected on his journey in a earlier interview. 'I always thought I was doing high-pitch singing,' said Reshammiya, before confidently claiming that he had been the one to introduce nasal singing to the Bollywood music scene. 'Aaj toh nasal ki baat bhi nahi kar rahe hain (Nobody is even talking about my nasal singing these days),' he said, noting how many artists had followed in his footsteps. 'Many people did nasal singing after me. So many of my songs became hits.' Known for chart-toppers like 'Tera Suroor' and 'Aashiq Banaya Aapne', Reshammiya's signature sound has attracted both acclaim and mockery. In the same interview, he responded to actor Janhvi Kapoor's recent comments on Koffee With Karan, where she poked fun at his older Instagram videos. He added, 'It's a good thing. It has been so many years, but the likeability of 'Tandoori Nights' remains. We have millions of views — the word 'tandoori' is very lucky for me.' Reshammiya, who was recently seen in his film 'Badass Ravikumar', is currently on his CapMania concert tour.
