“I don’t think there is any role I cannot play” - Himesh

Himesh identifies areas of improvements for him. He also talks about how superstardom hasn’t changed him as a human being who is still simple and modest as always.

Successful composer. Successful singer. And now a successful actor. How did it all fit in?
I sincerely believe in the power of divine force. There is nothing possible without it. Being talented is one thing, being aided by a divine force is different. If only talent worked in this industry, what would explain the number of flops where far more talented people have come together to create a product? Once you work on making a film, you realize that it is not just talent or hard work which makes you deliver goods. There is an element of spirituality which makes you start working 18 hours a day. You start working like a genius and things start falling in place by themselves.

Interview: Himeshji

Published by Jem under HR Interviews

I think spirituality is about having a unique divine connection with God. People say there is no time to bother about spiritual trysts in this hectic world. I personally think that all the hardwork and talent in the world cannot be replaced by that tiny but extremely relevant piece of divine intervention that makes one a winner.

Not very long ago my reaction to any personal success would be to secretly hope that my rivals should do badly. In a moment of truth, I once admitted this jealousy to my father and uncle. The lesson they taught me was one I have never forgotten: They said if i couldn’t pray that my rivals be blessed, i should not think of them at all.

Over the years, many singers tried to become actors, but most failed miserably with audiences rejecting them outright.

Meanwhile, Himesh’s Aap Kaa Surroor: The Movie: The Real Luv Story has had the year’s biggest box office opening –matching, in some centers, last year’s biggest hits Dhoom: 2 and Krrish.

Interview: Himeshji

Published by Jem under HR Interviews

Himesh Reshammiya’s acting debut Aap Kaa Surroor releases on the same day at the Deol family starrer, Apne. The Deols have decided to release their ambitious joint-family saga Apne on June 29 too.

On hearing this, Himesh personally requested the Deols to re-schedule the release of their film. But to no avail.

Himesh says, “Yes, I did request them to release it on another Friday. But they refused. I respect their decision. I’m sure they’ve their own reasons for settling on June 29. I think our film is very small compared with theirs. It stars Dharamji and his two sons, which means it has 300 per cent box-office clout where as my film has an untried singer-turned-actor whom the whole world is waiting to rip apart.”
