Taaruk Raina, known for playing the role of Anmol Malhotra in the web series Mismatched, is also an accomplished musician. In fact, he is more inclined towards music than acting, which he says he had to learn. The young talent joined us for Mid-day`s Indie Insider series, talking about his life and journey as an independent musician and actor.

``My journey as a musician has been quite a roller coaster, because I didn`t know anybody in the music business. I had to work my way around, talking to people and friends who helped me out. Maybe five years back I would have thought that I won`t be able to work through the sea, but I kept doing music and writing songs and did my first single with Sony Music. I got a chance to do my first single for Mismatched season 1 called `Main Chala`, and then in season 2 I got the chance to do Kho Gaye. I literally begged for it and somehow it just happened, post which I gained a lot of confidence, which made me feel that I might be able to do it," the singer-actor said.
