Industry stood by me Ankit Tiwari

Singer and music composer Ankit Tiwari has been making news for reasons wrong and right. While on one hand his song Galiyan from Ek Villain is topping music charts, his accusations of rape and the controversies that followed, continue to haunt him. There was a buzz that after the episode, the Ek Villain team wanted to keep Ankit out of the music launch and hence, didn't include his name on the invitation. Ankit however rubbishes the rumour since he did end up performing at the do. Clearing the air he says, "I don't know how to explain these rumours. The team of Ek Villain is like family. I have worked with Mohit Suri on Ashiqui 2, so this time there was a lot of pressure to do better than Sun raha hai na tu, from the film. Mohit brings out the best in me.

He wouldn't want to distance himself from me." In fact Ankit is grateful to the industry for having stood by his side during this bad phase. "The industry has stood by me. I have already begun working on Mohit's next, Balaji's next, two Vishesh films, one of Tigmanshu Dhulia's films and more.Actress Shraddha will be making her singing debut in Ek Villain, thanks to Ankit who composed the song and sang the duet with her. "It was Mohit's idea, but even I had heard her sing and knew that she would do a good job," he says.
