Singer-composer Ankit Tiwari has had a tough last few years. In the year 2014, he was accused of raping his girlfriend, after which the case went on for a long time and in the year 2017, the court gave clean chit to Ankit. He was acquitted of all charges, but Ankit says it completely destroyed his career. In a recent interview, Ankit spoke openly about this.
Career took off like this
Ankit used to compose jingles for ad films till he got a break with the film ‘Do Dooni Chaar’ in 2010. After this he worked in films like ‘Aashiqui 2’, ‘Singham Returns’ and ‘PK’. After this he got embroiled in controversies and was arrested by the police in the year 2014. In a conversation with NBT, Ankit said, ‘People have stopped working with me, they have pulled their hands back.’
Many projects of Ankit were snatched overnight
Ankit told that he was removed from all the projects without giving any reason. All his such work, which was almost on the verge of ending, was also stopped. Ankit told that he suffered a lot. But that did not mean that he gave up. He kept doing something or the other and he learned who is his true friend in the industry.
Very few people stand together in bad times
Ankit said, ‘When such a phase comes, very few people stand with you. There were some people in the industry who stood by me. Which I actually call my family. People with whom I have worked and who stood as support for me. It is said that when all paths are closed, God opens a way. That’s where I started.
