Anas Rashid sings for his TV show
Anas Rashid has gone behind the mike to sing a track for his TV show "Diya Aur Baati Hum", and the actor didn't find it easy at all!
The actor, who plays the role of Sooraj Rathi in the Star Plus show, has lent his voice for the special and sad title track. He himself took the initiative and asked the production house to let him sing the song.
"Singing isn't an easy thing to do. There's a lot that goes into it. However, I did make sure my effort didn't go into vain and I sang from my heart," Anas said in a statement.
Currently, "Diya Aur Baati Hum" is gearing up for a rather power-packed climax with Mission Mahaabali now reaching its point of execution.
Anas, who shares the screen space with Deepika Singh as the female lead, notes that the track fits the sequence well.
"The title track is very touching and is exactly what Sooraj is going through on the show. The whole sequence fits the bill completely," he added.

Akshay Kumar stunned with Hardik Rawat's performance
Bollywood's 'Khiladi' Akshay Kumar was impressed by the performance of a contestant of dance reality show "Dance +". The actor says he was contemplating to cancel his shoot due to some health issues, but Hardik Rawat's performance made him feel better.
Akshay was unwell with high temperature and almost cancelled the shoot, but since he had committed, he finally made it. After seeing Hardik's performance, Akshay was stunned.
"I am extremely unwell today and almost cancelled the shoot today. After watching Hardik's performance, I feel I would have missed something which is unbelievable and I would never be able to do. His performance has made me feel better," Akshay said there, according to a source.
The Star Plus show is in its final leg of finding India's dancing sensation. The show's 'superjudge' Remo D'Souza shot for the semi-finale along with Bollywood superstar Akshay and dancing legend turned director Prabhudheva, who had come to promote their movie "Singh Is Bling".
Hardik, who is a die-hard fan of Akshay, requested the star to join him and perform a stunt along with him. Despite being unwell, Akshay went on stage and performed a stunt with him.
