Singer-composer-actor Himesh Reshammiya has said the internet has misunderstood Lata Mangeshkar’s views on Ranu Mondal, adding that it is important for an artiste to draw inspiration from someone.

“I feel we have to see in which connotation Lata ji has made that statement. I feel when you start copying another singer then it doesn’t work that well. But I also feel that taking inspiration from someone else is really important,” said Himesh, during the launch of a new song on Wednesday. Singer Ranu Mondal also attended the event. Himesh added: “Kumar Sanu always tells that he is inspired by Kishore Kumar. Similarly, we all are inspired by people in some way or the other. When I started singing songs in high pitch then people criticised me, terming it as nasal singing. But if you look at the international scene, it has become a common trait.”
