DOUBLE THE FUN

Taaruk Raina juggled two roles in Mismatched season 2, he played one of the leads, Anmol Malhotra, and was also the writer, composer, and singer of its theme song. The actor has been receiving rave reviews for his grey character in Mismatched. Shedding light on his character, he says, "My character is not very likeable at the start but slowly grows on the viewers. What I liked about the character is that he does not ask for pity, even if the circumstances are dire. I liked how he is overcompensating for being worse than he is so that people don't feel bad for him." He informs us that in the second season, his character underwent a redemption arc. And that's when fans started rooting for him. When it came to composing the song Kho gaye, he credits director Akarsh Khurana for taking a chance on him. "What excited me was that I was making a song for Dimple and Rishi. Though it was written for two fictional characters, it was about a lot of things that I've personally experienced," he reveals.
