Criticism and controversies
In his debut film as an actor, Aap Kaa Surroor - The Real Luv Story, Himesh Reshammiya added a song Tanhaiyaan from Boney Kapoor's proposed film Milenge Milenge. Initially, Himesh Reshammiya had composed the song for Kapoor's film but later decided to use it for his own movie. 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.However, Himesh Reshammiya 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.In June 2007, they reconciled their differences after Himesh Reshammiya apologized.

Fans of Himesh have also had to suffer abuse and persecution especially on the internet in the form of hate messages filled with bad words because they happen to be the fan of a man the Indian media hates and the reason Indian media hates Himesh is because he is believed to be a very bad influence on the youth and the people of the nation because of his unique attitude,personality and his unique voice and his unique music that became the Music of the nation.

Yet,all the hatred that has been directed against Himesh fans on the internet has only made the fans of Himesh even more stronger in thier faith and fanaticism of a man who is worshipped by more than a billion people in India and whose influence on the people of the country cannot be denied.
Music Style
In most of his earlier albums,Himesh used to compose the songs in Indian Classical music style but when he found out that this was leading him nowhere,he changed his music style and started composing his music in Arabic style with a lot of rhythmic beats in nearly every song,This Arabic styled music composed by Himesh and many of his earlier compositions prove the fact that he is a Genius who has been denied credit by the media.Instead he has been criticised at every turn and made an object of persecution.
Awards & nominations
Himesh Reshammiya won the Filmfare Best Male Playback Award for "Aashiq Banaya Aapne". This was his first and most successful song sung by him in the year 2005.He is the only music director in Bollywood to get Filmfare Best Male Playback Award.He also received several nominations for his music direction.
Personal Life
Himesh is married to Komal. They have a son, named Swayam. His family is media shy and there are no pictures of them available.
