“As a Child, I Learnt Sarod from Amjad Ali Khan”: Abhishek Bachchan

Abhishek Bachchan shared a video of the sarod players’ performance and their picture on stage during the concert and wrote, “An absolute joy and honour to witness the mastery, brilliance, culture and tradition of Ustaad Amjad Ali Khan sahab along with my brothers Amaan Ali Bangash and Ayaan Ali Bangash, but happiest to hear young Zohaan and Abeer play and continue the legacy of the family. Two more maestros on the way!”

Abhishek stated that in his childhood, Amaan, Ayaan, and he used to learn the sarod jointly under their ‘guru’ Amjad Ali Khan. He then expressed when he had to move to board school in Switzerland and, therefore, ‘didn’t continue learning’. He said seeing Amaan and Ayaan grow to be such outstanding students and children to their parents and seeing them make their parents proud is so wonderful. And now, to see Ayaan and Neema’s sons join them and play concurrently is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Three generations on stage together! The future of our music, Indian classical music, is in safe hands.”

Ayaan Ali Bangash commented on Abhishek’s post, “Thank you for all your love as always.” Ustaad Amjad Ali Khan also posted photographs from the concert on Instagram, in which he posed alongside his sons and grandsons, Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai.
