Like father, like son: Ayushmann Khurrana's son joins him in learning piano

Ayushmann Khurrana and his five-year-old son have both been learning the piano  from one of the best piano teachers of Indian origin. Ayushmann, a musician and singer gets the chance to extend the parameters of his creativity  as he plays a concert pianist in Sriram Raghavan’s next, a noir thriller about a  blind musician.

Says the actor, “I see myself as an actor and a singer-musician. When I got a chance to play a pianist it was like… God sent. I learnt the piano from scratch. My teacher is Akshay Verma from Los Angeles. He is one of the best piano teachers.”

Musically inclined 

The  best part of the experience is that his son joins in. “Yes! My five-year-old son is also learning the piano with me. So it’s a magnificent merger of the professional and the personal,” says the actor, who  laments the absence of time with his children. “I do see them every day. But yes, I’d like to  spend more time with them. My killing schedules don’t give me the luxury of  spending enough time with them. Luckily, my wife, who is  a writer, works out of home. So one of us is with them.”
