Amitabh Bachchan has revealed one major regret after his nearly six-decade successful career. What is it, you wonder? Well, the megastar could not learn to play a musical instrument.
The 84-year-old actor made the confession while interacting with a contestant on Kaun Banega Crorepati 18. Big B said he has always wanted to learn music and even owns several musical instruments, but never got around to learning any of them.
During the interaction, contestant Kritagya, a content creator, asked Amitabh Bachchan whether he would prefer to relive a day from his life or experience a day he has never lived before. The actor chose the second option.
Amitabh Bachchan confessed that he would like to experience the day when he finally learns to play a musical instrument. He explained that although he has had a deep interest in music, he could never learn it.
"I had a deep desire to learn music, but I couldn't. I feel sad when I hear these singers, musicians, and sitarists perform so well because I feel bad why I never learnt music as well. I've collected all possible kinds of musical instruments at home," he said.
The actor also shared that he has collected almost every kind of musical instrument at home. However, he has never learned to play any of them.
Amitabh Bachchan said he continues to hope that he will learn music someday. "I even adorn the musical instruments at home with flowers and garlands, in the hope that I finally get to them and learn music one day," he added.
Big B said that not learning an instrument until the age of 84 remains a "deep regret" for him.
Although Amitabh Bachchan never learned to play a musical instrument, he has lent his voice to several popular songs during his career.
He made his singing debut in 1979 with Mere Paas Aao Mere Dosto from Rakesh Kumar's action comedy Mr. Natwarlal. He later sang Rang Barse and Neela Aasman in Yash Chopra's 1981 romantic drama Silsila.
