His recently released song, Bhula Diya by Darshan Raval has been healing many broken hearts all across and fans can’t stop humming the lyrics along with being drenched in the soulful composition.
“Composing a love song is as beautiful as creating a love story. When I compose a love song for a film, I have a definite emotions, definite story but when I compose for singles, I create a story within myself, some story that has affected us in the surroundings. The best part of it when the single releases, people could relate to it. I get so many comments online and they make covers of it. I feel, if my love songs give true happiness to people, the purpose of my life is fulfilled,” says Anurag.
