Himesh Reshammiya was seen for the first time since his father’s passing. He performed the last rites of his father, Vipin Reshammiya, veteran music composer who passed away at 87 on September 18 in Mumbai. Himesh wore a white kurta and greeted the paparazzi with a namaste. His wife followed him right behind. Vipin Reshammiya was instrumental in shaping Himesh’s career, guiding him from a young age. Before his passing, Vipin had been hospitalized due to breathing issues. His last rites were scheduled to take place in Juhu. He was 87.
A respected figure in the music industry, Vipin played a crucial role in shaping his son’s career from a young age, acting as a mentor and guiding Himesh to success.
Vanitha Thapar, reflecting on her close bond with Vipin, shared her grief with ETimes. She said, “He was in Kokilaben and passed away today at 8.30 pm. I am a family friend, more like family. I used to call him papa since the time he was making TV serials. Later, he became a music director, and then Himesh followed in his footsteps. We share a very close bond. Anup Singh, the numerologist, and I were also very close to him.”
Despite being a skilled composer, Vipin Reshammiya chose not to pursue a full-time music career. Instead, he focused on helping his son Himesh develop his talent. While he gained recognition for his TV work, Vipin’s main goal was to support Himesh’s journey in music. He once shared how proud he was of Himesh’s musical talent, which showed at a young age.
For those unfamiliar with Vipin’s work, he produced The Xposé (2014) and Teraa Surroor (2016), both starring Himesh. Vipin also composed music for the unreleased film Insaaf Ka Suraj (1990). Himesh once revealed that his father was supposed to work on a film with Salman Khan, which led to Himesh meeting the Bollywood star. This connection gave Himesh his big break as a music director in the 1998 film Jab Pyaar Kiya To Darna Kya, starring Salman Khan and Kajol.
