When asked about his philosophy on criticism, Himesh shared, "I would have stopped a long time ago if I had let myself get affected by what people say. If I doubted myself, I wouldn’t be here. You should do what you can, pray to God, and accept all the love that comes your way." This self-confidence stems from his childhood, where his parents encouraged him to pursue his passion for music.

Himesh’s latest single, Badass Ravikumar, has been doing extremely well, and he attributes it to his ability to bounce back from criticism. "When ‘Aashiq Banaya’ came out, there was a lot of trolling, but the same people who were slamming the song were dancing to it in clubs. I just focused on my music and ignored the negativity," he said. It’s a tactic that has served him well, as he’s seen his music rise to the top of the charts.
The Power of Positive Reinforcement: Akshay Kumar and the Game-Changer
For Himesh, one of the most influential people in his life has been Akshay Kumar, who has taught him the importance of not getting too worked up about criticism. "Akshay ji always says, ‘We have all these formulas, listen to someone else’s point of view and then improve it. If they have a certain POV, then work on it and prove it to them. And today, I have seen the fruits of my hard work with Badass Ravikumar. Mujhe jo 6 dikhta hai, aapko 9 dikhta hai, point of view is subjective. One shouldn’t feel bad about criticism."

So, what’s the secret to his success? For Himesh, it’s all about staying focused and not letting the opinions of others dictate his path. "In the ‘Aashiq Banaya’ video, this guy is actually crying in pain, singing, as well as dancing… It was a cry for help! My style might not be for everyone, but I know that my music is going to be loved by a certain section of people."
Conclusion: Aashiq Banaya and the Power of Being True to Oneself
In conclusion, Himesh’s take on criticism is a valuable lesson for anyone navigating the ups and downs of life. By staying true to oneself and focusing on the positive, people like Himesh can achieve great success. As he so eloquently puts it, "Aaj to 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!"
