Now Imran turns rockstar
We all saw Imran Khan head banging in the superhit number Bhaag DK Bose from Delhi Belly, thus fulfilling his rockstar dreams by strumming a guitar onscreen. Now the actor has gone a step further and associated himself with MTV Independence Rock (I-Rock), a leading rock music festival in the country that was initiated 25 years ago.
He reminisces about how he has been attending I-Rock concerts with friends for many years. “I’ve always been a big fan of rock music and I have such great memories of attending I-Rock. So many of my friends have performed there. I have always looked forward to attending it. And now when I have got an opportunity to lend my support, I will be a part of it. It’s like a childhood dream coming true,” he says.
Having been a part of the audience at such concerts, Imran always wished to be a performer on stage. “I remember standing in the audience and watching these guys perform on stage with the crowd going ballistic over them. Somewhere I always secretly desired to be a part of such great things,” he says. He also rues the fact that he didn’t learn to play an instrument.
“Unfortunately, I didn’t learn to play an instrument or sing. I just didn’t have that musical talent and the patience that goes along with it,” he says.
However, during the shooting of the song DK Bose, he did learn how to hold the guitar and strum basic strings. “I have learnt the basics like holding a guitar and handling it, but I can’t even play a chord. But I guess it’s never too late. I might pick something some day,” he says.
