Now, I did not use ‘blessings’ out of my own will, that’s how Himesh Reshammiya puts it. I know I’m writing about Himesh bhai again. But this time, it’s not just the pretending-to-be-hot singer-turned-actor but our own hot Salman Khan himself. Yes, the two arrogant heads.
There was a time in the tinsel town when Himesh swore by his mentor’s name as Salman was the Godfather to him in an otherwise indifferent film industry. Sallu introduced him through films like Kahin Pyar Na Ho Jaye, Pya Kiya Tho Darna Kya, Yeh Hai Jalwa and the recent Maine Pyar Kyun Kiya.
And did I mention ‘Tere Naam’… after this film he tasted his first major success and dedicated his music to one man, i.e., Salman. As I said… Tere Naam Pal!
But like all the filmi jodis, this filmi dosti also came to a tragic end. After Himesh bhai’s nasal avatar and cap ‘n’ beard hit saga, Sallu seems to be very khafa with him. And he didn’t even wish him luck for his debut film.
Now Salman be a little sporting and send your good wishes to your old buddy… and mind you he really needs them. Come on, I still like Himesh bhai… but obviously the composer!
