Though many people found the remarks rather sarcastic, Himesh is ecstatic.
Aamir had apparently praised Reshammiya and called him a master of marketing.
He had said, "Wherever and whenever I see a topi (cap) I think of Himesh."
It seemed to be a sarcastic comment especially since the Reshammiya strategy didn't work as the 'Karz' remake bombed despite all sorts of publicity gimmicks.
But Himesh who likes publicity of all kinds is super impressed, "If Aamir has spoken so well about me, I won't even think of questioning it. I take his words as a big compliment. I've been hearing some terrific stories about his dedication from (director) John Matthew Mathan. I must say he's very inspiring."
The situation is even more special as now he's busy shooting for "A New Love Ishtory" in Gujarat, where he plays a big Aamir fan.
"I am a huge fan of Aamir Khan. And what a coincidence that I'm shooting for a film where I play a tapori who's a big fan of Aamir. The role is inspired by Aamir's 'Rangeela'. In fact, my director is Mathan who directed him in 'Sarfarosh'. Both of us just can't stop talking about him."
Well, good for Himess bhai who loves to be in the news, come what may.
