Nargis Fakhri says as a child she could not take any music lessons as she grew up “really poor.” \u2013 @Siliconeer #Siliconeer #Bollywood #NargisFakhri #Banjo #RiteishDeshmukh<\/p>\n

In her upcoming film “Banjo”, the 36-year-old actress plays a DJ from New York, who comes to Mumbai to find local talent and make music with them.<\/p>\n

“For me, I regret being really poor growing up so I couldn’t afford to take lessons. That was really sad. I believe playing an instrument is something really beautiful and a great talent,” the actress told reporters in Mumbai, Aug. 9.<\/p>\n

Nargis, who made her debut with “Rockstar,” said she started learning acoustic guitar after her first film.<\/p>\n

“I didn’t have people around to inspire me. But after my first film, I got inspired to try the acoustic guitar. It’s hard for me, but I still try. I have three of them at home and I pick it up once in a while,” she said.<\/p>\n

Directed by Ravi Jadhav, the musical drama features Riteish Deshmukh as a Banjo player.<\/p>\n

Nargis said she came on board for the film as she instantly connected with the story.<\/p>\n

“For me, it was the story. There was a lot of soul and depth. It addressed something I thought was very beautiful.<\/p>\n

The character fit very well, and I am sure that’s why I was called to hear the story.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
