My Take
What draws me to Himesh Reshammiya is sheer range. Born in Mumbai in 1973, he is at once an actor, composer, singer and film-score writer, with a famously polarizing nasal voice that Bollywood either loved or argued about for years. I find that arguability admirable, honestly. It is easy to be quietly competent at one craft; it is far harder to plant yourself across several and absorb the criticism that comes with the exposure. He is a workhorse of an industry built on song and spectacle, and his willingness to step out front rather than stay safely behind the score earns my respect.
