Renowned for his nasal‐tone vocals, Bollywood singer‐composer Himesh Reshammiya once again took the spotlight—this time at his CapMania concert in Delhi’s Indira Gandhi Arena on July 19, 2025. Fans flocked to see him don his signature cap and leather jacket, and to hear his iconic hits, including the evergreen ‘Aashiq Banaya Apne.’ However, what caught everyone’s attention was his witty retort to critics who frequently mock his unique singing style.
Himesh Reshammiya shuts down trolls live on stage in Delhi conert: “Naak se gau ya galey se?”
Amid the energetic performance, Reshammiya paused long enough to address the crowd directly. With a playful grin, he broke the tension by asking, “Naak se gau ya galey se?”—roughly translating to, “Should I sing through my nose or through my throat?”. His lighthearted jibe landed well, earning cheers and applause from the audience, who clearly appreciated his humour and self-awareness.
This wasn’t the first time Reshammiya addressed such trolling. Earlier, during a stop on the tour in Mumbai on May 31, he playfully asked fans the same question: “Thoda regular gaaun ya naak se gaaun?”, before jokingly confirming, “Are you sure?” when the crowd overwhelmingly voted for nasal. That interaction, too, went viral—highlighting his charm and confidence in owning his style.
Going further back to February 2025, in a candid interview with Pinkvilla, Himesh spoke about the criticism surrounding the nasal quality of ‘Aashiq Banaya Apne.’ Clarifying that the song was never intentionally nasal, he referred to it instead as “high‑pitched singing.” He elaborated, “Aaj toh nasal ki baat bhi nahi karahe hain. Many people did nasal singing after me, so many of my songs became hits. Actually, even though I call it nasal singing today, for me, it was never nasal, it was high‑pitched singing. It was a cry for help! In the ‘Aashiq Banaya’ video, this guy is actually crying in pain, singing, as well as dancing… One shouldn’t feel bad about criticism. When ‘Aashiq Banaya’ came, there was so much trolling, but the same people were dancing to it in clubs.”
