Last year, Neena Gupta had surprised her fans by showcasing her musical talent on Instagram. The Badhaai Ho actress sang Ab Ke Baras Bhejo from the 1963 film, Bandini, which was originally sung by Asha Bhosle. Neena received praises for her rendition and was flooded with requests asking her to hone her talent.

Well, it looks like Neena has paid heed to those requests now, when everyone is trying hard to keep themselves occupied in a productive and positive manner.

She told BT, “I used to attend music classes earlier, but due to my film commitments, I could not be regular. Now, with the Coronavirus lockdown, I am at home in Delhi and someone suggested that I could attend classes online. So, I do riyaz with my guruji in Mumbai through video calls.”

When asked if she is planning to come out with a single anytime soon, she replied, “No, that won’t happen. I am learning music only for personal happiness. That is also the reason I don’t post too many videos of my singing on social media. I don’t consider myself a great singer.”
