Famous music director-singer-actor Himesh Reshammiya was granted divorce from his wife Komal on Wednesday. The couple was married for 22 years. While it was rumoured that Himesh and Komal separated over his closeness with TV actress Sonia Kapoor, but the separated couple have denied the speculation and have said that they faced compatibility issues with each other. But this is not the first time Himesh made headlines, here’s looking back at instances in the past when the outspoken music director couldn’t stay away from the headlines. by Rohan Valecha

When he had differences with Salman Khan

Himesh started his career by composing music for Salman Khan-starrer ‘Pyaar Kiya To Darna Kya’ in 1998. The combination worked and Salman preferred Himesh to compose the music for most of his family’s productions. Himesh went on to create melodies for more Salman films like ‘Bandhan’, ‘Hello Brother’, ‘Dulhan Hum Le Jayenge’, ‘Kahin Pyaar Na Ho Jaaye’, ‘Ye Hai Jalwa’, the chart-busting ‘Tere Naam’ and many more. In 2009, while the ‘Sultan’ star was a guest on a reality show where Himesh was a judge, Salman didn’t hold back with his trademark jokes. This time around, it was Himesh’s nasal twang that was the target of his joking. The singer got a little perturbed and asked Salman to stop with his remarks, which led to a short-lived fight between the two. However, they later patched up as Himesh resumed composing music for Salman’s films. by Rohan Valecha

Cold war with singer Sonu Nigam

Sonu Nigam and Himesh Reshammiya were reportedly in a cold war after exchanging unpleasant remarks. During a press conference in 2006, Himesh had reportedly called himself a rockstar and ridiculed Sonu, besides questioning his popularity. This statement had reportedly irked Sonu, who had slammed Himesh back, saying that Himesh has gone mad and that his fame has gone to his head. However, there was another report in which Himesh had denied making any such remark about Sonu. by Rohan Valecha

When Asha Bhosle wanted to slap Himesh

Back in 2006, a statement made in Surat by the ever-controversial Himesh Reshammiya incensed singing diva Asha Bhosle beyond repair, provoking her to express violent thoughts about him. Apparently, the offensive remark had Himesh accusing RD Burman of singing nasally. Bhosle, not one to take such remarks lying down, responded, "If anyone says Burman sa'ab sang through his nose, he should be slapped." After making such provoking statements, Himesh seemed baffled by the turn of events. "I don't know what has hit me. It was never my intention to insult Panchamda (RD). How can I, when I've grown up learning music compositions by Laxmikant-Pyarelal and RD? During an event I was asked about my 36 hits in two years, and how I tackled charges of singing through my nose. To this I responded by saying Mukesh sa'ab, R D Burman sa'ab and Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan sa'ab were never accused of singing nasally. I only wanted to prove a point. Now I realise I made a mistake. I should've never brought in the names of these great musicians in my argument. Chote mooh badi baat, I guess,” he said.

About Asha's response to Himesh's statement, he had just one thing to say. "I respect and admire Lataji and Ashaji. To me they're the pillars of the music industry. My upbringing and sanskar don't permit me to offend people who are far more distinguished and senior than me." by Rohan Valecha

His tussle with Boney Kapoor and a music label

In his debut film as an actor, ‘Aap Kaa Surroor’, Reshammiya added a song ‘Tanhaiyaan’ from Boney Kapoor's film 'Milenge Milenge'. Initially, Himesh had composed the song for Kapoor's film but later decided to use it for his own movie. The music company, which held the audio rights of ‘Milenge Milenge’, accused Reshammiya of copyright violation, as audio rights for ‘Aap Kaa Surroor – The Real Luv Story’ were acquired by another leading music label. However, Himesh defended himself saying that he had made Kapoor listen to the song, but it was not included in ‘Milenge Milenge’. He also claimed to have tried to get in touch with Kapoor for seven months, and since there was no progress on the film, he decided to use the song for his own movie. by Rohan Valecha
