Himesh Reshammiya recently appeared on Raj Shamani’s podcast, where he discussed various topics including his experiences with trolls, his love for music and family, and Bollywood’s music scene. During the conversation, he also spoke about legendary singers Arijit Singh and Sonu Nigam, calling both artists exceptionally talented and versatile.

Reshammiya emphasized that Arijit Singh’s work is driven more by passion than by money. He said that Arijit is someone who fits perfectly into any kind of song, highlighting his ability to adapt effortlessly. He mentioned that both Arijit and Sonu Nigam have a rare skill set: no matter the song’s style, they deliver excellent performances without fail. Reshammiya remarked, “Arijit is great, he fits into every song. Even Sonu Nigam is great, he can go with any song, give him anything, anytime.”

Focus on Composition and Lyrics Over Star Singers

According to Reshammiya, the success of a song today relies heavily on its composition and lyrics rather than just the singer’s fame. He suggested that having a legendary voice is not always necessary. If the music and words are strong, any good singer can make the song work. He noted, “You can pull it off with a good singer but, it’s not that, if you need a legendary voice for that song, you should go for them (Arijit, Sonu).”

Revealing Arijit Singh’s Fees and Professional Attitude

When asked about Arijit Singh’s fee per song, Reshammiya was clear that the singer’s focus is not on money but on the heart and passion he brings to his work. He explained that Arijit’s charges are reasonable and that no one questions his fee because his commitment and talent speak for themselves. Reshammiya stated, “If Arijit does it, I don’t think anyone will discuss the price with him, and he’ll also be reasonable.”

He also touched upon the attitude of today’s generation in the music industry, saying many artists prioritize passion over money. According to him, when artists are genuinely interested in a project, financial discussions become less important. Conversely, when they are not interested, negotiations tend to get complicated.

Reshammiya also reflected on the current state of Bollywood’s growth, noting that “organic growth is getting stuck” due to too much exclusivity and individualism. He pointed out that collaboration is essential but often missing. Using the example of actors, he said that newcomers often play villain roles, but established stars hesitate to take such parts as they aim to maintain or grow their hero status. This mindset, he believes, limits creative opportunities for everyone involved.
