The musically inclined Bollywood hunk who owns a piano and drum set, is now learning to strum the guitar. On screen, he's a rockstar all right, but Bollywood hunk Sanjay Dutt may soon become one even off screen, literally. Thanks to his new muse - the guitar, a Led Zeppelin limited edition, a gift from co-star and friend Rohit Roy. And the actor is taking his fascination with the musical instrument further, by now learning to play it as well.
Ask him about his new muse and he smiles, "I can strum a few strings, but that's about it for now. I hope to be able to play it really well some day. After all, it's a dream I've had ever since I was a child, but never got around to pursuing somehow."
Incidentally, Dutt also owns a set of drums and a piano that was gifted to him by his close associate and best buddy, Sanjay Gupta. Says Gupta, "I had given Sanju the piano for his birthday since he's extremely fond of music. Sanju has an ear for music. That's one of the things that we both share - a passion for good music."
And what is the kind of music that Dutt prefers? "It depends on my mood, really. I love music right from rock to the more soulful numbers," he shyly admits, strumming a few bars.
Interestingly, Dutt has lent his voice to Gupta's Alibaug for a track titled Sun Toh Zara. Talking about the song, he says, "Gups insisted and I couldn't refuse. This number is very close to my heart." So will we be seeing him playing the guitar on screen as well? "Haven't you already?" he laughs referring to his previous films. On a more serious note however, he adds, "As of now I think I'll stick to playing it for my friends and loved ones. But who knows about the future. Maybe someday I will... "he smiles.
