‘I make decisions with my heart, not my head’
You’ve seen him cry in his music videos. You’ve heard the sentiment in his voice. Singer-composer Himesh Reshammiya gives BT a jhalak into the Cancerian trait he most identifies with — emotion!
Born on July 23, Himesh Reshammiya is a cusp between Cancer and Leo. But he feels he’s a ‘pucca Cancerian’. “I’m too emotional,†states Himesh, matter-of-factly. And emotions are truly a part and parcel of the singer-composer’s life, relationships and work. “I make decisions with my heart, not my head. But isn’t everything we think and do somehow affected by emotions?†ponders Himesh.
Despite having received criticism for the nasal twang in his voice, his ‘cap-n-jacket’ dressing style and his similar breed of music, Himesh has still managed to carve a niche for himself. “I’m like the Cancerian crab, hard from the outside, but soft from within. I’ve faced all kinds of criticism, and have lived through it. Yet, I’m a romantic, emotional human being from the inside,†says Himesh.
