Talking about obstacles he faces, he said: “So far people don’t consider the music industry as an anticipated sector of work as the success rate is very low.

But with courage, I did title song of “Chuye Dile Mon” and won awards, has changed the scenario”.

Tahsan envisions a world where breaking into the music industry is easier for the next generation. To enrich the entertainment industry, his suggestion to upcoming singers is to “rather than only run after fame, pay full attention to positive content to be happy”.
