He has shed his famous cap, got rid of the nasal twang in his voice and now wants to prove to the world with his film “Radio” that he’s a good actor. Himesh Reshammiya, who has sung and composed numerous hit songs, says acting is his only passion at the moment.
“Right now my passion is acting because I want to prove myself. Even after doing two films, one of which was such a big hit (’Aap Kaa Surroor’), a lot of people still say ‘why is he getting into acting when he has such a successful career in music?’,” Himesh told IANS in an interview.
“People had same perception when I turned singer from composer. So I have to prove it yet again that I can do it and do it well…even though I have an unconventional face,” he said.
Himesh’s “Karzzz” sank without a trace at the box office and he says everyone except his parents criticised him for facing the camera.
“A lot of people in my own family feel that I shouldn’t have got into acting. Not my parents, but my uncles and aunts feel this way. But I know I have it in me and I will prove it,” Himesh said.
The composer-singer-actor was in the capital at the Radio Mirchi 98.3 FM studios to promote his forthcoming film “Radio”.
