When Himesh talked about his father

In 2021, Himesh spoke about his father on Indian Idol 12. He had then posted a video on Instagram in which he revealed how his father had composed a song with late singers Lata Mangeshkar and Kishore Kumar that was never released. He had captioned the post, “My dad’s composer Vipin Reshammiya had composed a beautiful track sung by the legendary Lataji and Kishore Kumar ji a few years ago. Unfortunately, it couldn’t be released then.”

He had said, “I think this is one of the best classic tunes ever which should come out for all the music lovers and I will be bringing this song out soon, my dad had composed it with a lot of love and I am happy that this song will come out for all of you soon, when it comes and you listen to it give it all your love, we shot for the Kishore Kumar 100 songs special this week and the very talented singers of #indianidol sang beautifully as always, lots of love.”
