What transpired at the Lyrics Theatre, the Hong Kong Academy of Performing Arts where Himani and Vinit had accompanied singer Sunidhi Chauhan for her concerts last week, could be a scene from a clumsily written romantic comedy.
Apparently the duo had fought before the concert and refused to sing duets together. The indulgent organisers agreed to let them sing solo numbers. But the audience clamoured to have them sing together.
"We fight all the time. Sometimes we don't talk to each other for days and weeks. Our fight this time started in Mumbai and continued all the way to Hong Kong. I was so sure that I wouldn't sing with Vinit that I had deliberately worn high heels," Himani told IANS.
"When I sing with Vinit I take them off on stage to match his height. When the audience asked for us, we reluctantly agreed to sing one duet 'Just chill'."
In the middle of the rendering, Himani kicked off her shoes to let the audience know they were no longer at loggerheads.
"The audience roared in delight," said Himani. "It was almost as though they were acknowledging and celebrating our friendship."
Gajendra Singh, producer-director of "Sa Re Ga Ma Pa", said: "The Himani-Vinit jodi has become a rage among Indians all over the world. In fact, we are planning to invite them as special guests on 'Ek Main Aur Ek Tu'."
Himani and Vinit have just rendered a song together for Subhash Ghai's "Good Boy Bad Boy".
"That's Himesh-ji's (Reshammiya) love for Vinit being extended to me. He is Vinit's mentor. But he treats me as if I am his own child," said Himani. (IANS)
