Biography:
Himesh Reshammiya was born to Vipin Reshammiya and Madhu Reshammiya in Bhavnagar, Gujarat.
He tasted the success as a music director in Salman Khan’s Tere Naam (2003). After that, he composed music for the film, Aashiq Banaya Aapne, as a singer, and songs like Tera Suroor, Zara Jhoom Jhoom and Tanhaiyan went on to become hits.
After rendering his voice later he started acting. His first film, Aap Kaa Surroor - The Real Luv Story was a success, but two of his later films did not do well at the box office.
On March 11, 2011, it was announced that Himesh was all set to make a Hollywood debut with a French director. The film is known as A * Is Killed and is based upon the mysterious death of world famous Pop Star Michael Jackson.
Another of his upcoming films, titled A New Love Ishstory has been on hold for more than two years by Bhushan Kumar. However Bhushan said he will release the film after Dama Damm (Ishq Unplugged) is finished.
He has recently composed the music of Bodyguard (2011 film) which was originally supposed to be composed by Pritam Chakraborty, but Salman Khan asked Himesh to compose it.
Personal Life:
At the age of 21, Himesh married Komal and they have a son, named Swayam.
Controversy:
Himesh was in trouble when he added a song Tanhaiyaan from Boney Kapoor's proposed film Milenge Milenge in his debut film Aap Kaa Surroor - The Real Luv Story. Tips, 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 T-Series.
Himesh defended himself saying that he had made Kapoor listen to the song, but it wasn't 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.
