Dhruv Malik, who appeared in Splitsvilla X3 and was one of the finalists, is now gaining popularity due to his singing abilities. From childhood, Dhruv wanted to be a singer and his talent was recognised in one of the episodes of Splitsvilla. “After I completed class 12th, parents kept on asking me about future plans and I was not sure. Then Splitsvilla happened and it was a new beginning for me. In one of the episodes, I had sung a song and people appreciated my singing. From there I started getting good offers. Earlier, I did not have enough money to invest, but after Splitsvilla, I accepted the offers and took up singing as a career whole-heartedly. I feel this is the best decision of my life,” he says.

Dhruv has recently released a song Jhooti, a duet with Simar Kaur, which is his second track. After Jhooti, came along another single titled Midnight. He adds, “Midnight is very different from Jhooti, it has a very urban feel and is a commercial track. This is a kind of song that can be heard during gedi with friends, while dancing and enjoying in clubs and parties. This is a very groovy and catchy track.” Dhruv does not have any particular inspiration, but he really likes Arijit Singh and Vishal Mishra.

On his Splitsvilla journey, he shares, “When I entered the game I had only 2k followers on Instagram, and when I came back I had 250k followers! The name that I have earned after Splitsvilla is immense and I am extremely thankful.”

As for his future plans, he says, “I have started writing my own songs and composing them. Currently, I am in mood to do sad songs and have written two or three such songs. I am also planning to do romantic songs, I just want to entertain.”
