Reshammiya rubbishes romance
rumours
By Subhash K. Jha, Indo-Asian News Service
Mumbai, Aug 26 (IANS) Singer Himmesh Reshammiya, who is in
Orlando for a concert, was aghast by media reports romantically
linking him up with Tulsi Kumar - sister of
T-Series baron Bhooshan Kumar.
"What nonsense is this!" exclaimed Reshammiya "Tulsi is like my
sister. I've met her just three times for the three recordings
she has done with me. I don't even have her
cell number. Whoever started this rumour has a very sick mind.
It's cheap and embarrassing. I'm very close to the whole T
Series family. Bhooshan Kumar is like my brother
and his sister is like my sister."
Rumours of him charging an exorbitant royalty for his ring tones
are also doing the rounds, but the popular singer said his fees
varied from company to company.
"It varies from project to project. I don't have a fixed fee.
The terms and conditions differ according to the projects. It
depends from producer to producer and company to
company. I try to make sure everyone earns from my music.".
Reshammiya has over eight
concerts in the US and Canada. "Up till now my concerts have
broken all previous records for all Indian shows from Bollywood.
The one-to-one
interaction with fans has been an emotional journey for me. The
fact that audience members from the age of 6-60 have gotten up
and danced for the finale is unheard of. And
despite security hazards, we've at least 19-20 youngsters
joining us on stage to sing and dance."
And when asked which of his songs is the most popular in the US,
he immediately replied: "Undoubtedly 'Jhalak dikhla jaa...'. I
believe Sony TV's new dance show has been
named after my song."
However, Reshammiya isn't sure whether it's a copyright
infringement. "When I come back I'll definitely look into it. 'Jhalak
dikhla jaa' is the biggest song of my career."
