Himesh Reshammiya's loudmouth landed him in serious trouble when procliamed in front of media folks prior to his concert at Surat that great R.D. Burman sang with a nasal twang too.

When singing diva Asha Bhonsle heard this comment she got extremely furious and responded, "If anyone says Burmansaab sang through his nose he should be slapped."

It was only after he aplogised for his Surat fiasco media let him off the hook.

When contacted the ace composer told, "It was never my intention to insult Panchamda. At the event I was asked about my 36 hits in two years, and how I tackled charges of singing through my nose.

To this I responded by saying Mukesh, R D Burmansaab and Nusrat Fateh Ali Khansaab were never accused of singing nasally.

I only wanted to prove a point. Now I realise I made a mistake. I should've never brought in the names of these greats in my argument. Choti mooh aur badi baat, I guess. It was a mistake."
