Shraddha's musical pursuits get serious

After belting out musical hits for previous films, Bollywood actor Shraddha Kapoor is now learning to play a guitar for Mohit Suri's upcoming romance-drama. After crooning “Galliyan” in “Ek Villain”, “Do Jahaan” in “Haider”, “Bezubaan Phir Se” in “ABCD 2” and “Sab Tera” in “Baaghi”, Shraddha looks set to add to her musical repertoire.

After recording half a dozen songs for her upcoming musical-drama “Rock On 2” alongside Farhan Akhtar, the actress has got herself a guitar tutor for the upcoming “Half Girlfriend”, also featuring Arjun Kapoor. Filming has just kicked off in Delhi and moves to New York next month. The film is an adaptation of a Chetan Bhagat best-seller and both the actors have been learning basketball. But along with training in the sport, Shraddha is also pulling some strings.

“I love music and musical instruments fascinate me. The guitar isn't a big part of the film but I had to learn the chords of the songs I would be playing,” said the 26-year-old-actress.

Shraddha is training with musician Joshua Singh, son of renowned composer Raju Singh. “My favourite instrument is the piano which I've been playing since I was a kid but guitar is a close second. I am playing the synthesizer for the 'Rock On' sequel which was fun too,” says Shraddha -- who learnt bike-riding for “Ek Villain”, hip-hop dance for “ABCD 2” and martial arts for “Baaghi”.
