Pakistani superstar Adnan Siddiqui is undoubtedly a man of many hidden talents. The actor, who has been entertaining the audience with his stellar acting performances, has also won over their hearts with his soulful flute tunes.
Recently, the Meray Paas Tum Ho famed actor paid tribute to one of the Bollywood’s most iconic and superhit romantic drama films, Silsila with his flute in an Instagram post.
The Amitabh Bachchan, Jaya Bachchan and Rekha-starrer Silsila still remains as one of the most favorite love stories of Bollywood for its star-studded cast, strong storyline and iconic music.
Playing his trusted flute, the Mom star expressed his love for the film and beautifully played to the tune of the popular song, Neela Aasmaan So Gaya.
In the caption, Siddiqui, 51, wrote, "This soothing melody is from Silsila, one of my most favourite films by a much-loved director, the king of romance, Yash Chopra. I can still watch the love triangle that stoked quite a controversy back in the 80s, countless times. The story is timeless and the way Amitabh Bachchan jee, Jaya jee and Rekha jee have acted in this emotional rollercoaster, is an actor’s delight."
He added, "Despite intense emotions of passion, longing, love, heartbreak, agony as the mainstay of the movie, they simmer through Silsila, not for a moment in your face." The Meray Humdum Meray Dost star also praised Big B for his mesmerizng voice and penned, “Then we had Mr Bachchan lending his deep, rich baritone to the liltingly painful Neela Aasman. He is one artist whose professional acumen I admire a lot."
He continued, "He has sung only a handful songs but all the choices stand out. As if he knows intuitively that these lyrics and this composition will be best suited to his voice. It happens when composers too have an eye to look beyond the acting skills and willing to play the gamble, however much of a long shot it appears."
Later on, Siddiqui also shared a video of himself and Bilal Maqsood doing ‘Jugalbandi’ on his latest flute rendition of Neela Aasman.
"If music is the food of love, play on. Borrowing from Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night to thank my brother Bilal Maqsood for this befitting jugalbandi of my rendition of Neela Aasman," the Yeh Dil Mera actor wrote.
He also added, "I am bowled over by the synchronicity of the notes and your sleek finesse. Not that I ever doubted your musical brilliance. The piano has transformed the flute version into a melodious symphony." Siddiqui then quipped, "How about both of us oldies form a new band?"
