Ankit Tiwari On His Trailblazing Journey.

Theirs is a different tale altogether - those who hail from non-film backgrounds and small towns. They are the ones who make the golden stories and who inspiring scripts are based on. They are the real guys who inspire commoners to sincerely believe in their dreams. After winning awards and accolades across ceremonies in the last two years, composer singer Ankit Tiwari has created his own brand of music and made a name for himself. And to be able to carve a niche in such a short span of time is remarkable. Pooja Sharma meets the music sensation at his suburban residence to talk about his trailblazing journey.

Black Sabbath Metal Trailblazers Look Back

He’s not one of those you’d spot at every filmy party, or hobnobbing with the who’s who relentlessly. He’s aloof and away. But yet, so connected and communicative through his craft.

Not many know the real Raj, the person behind the camera. Pooja Sharma tries to find out more about the man behind the brooding, intense face.
