This is exactly what he meant and what I first interpreted. When I saw the comments made by people in this forum without actually understanding what he said, I wasnt sure if I should clarify because people seem to just need an excuse to abuse others. Same kind of attitude we see on the streets today where people lynching a person even without knowing if he is a culprit or not. NS and Himesh have rocked the country during certain times. Most of us know what an effect Himesh had. NS happened some 17 years back so some very young readers wont understand. I hated them especially the big mouth especially the big mouthed Nadeem. But a friend of mine was so crazy after Aashiqui songs that he had 2 cassettes of the same, so that he could rewind one side while other side was being played. So let us not abuse them nor the senses of the people who were their fans. Restrain .....
