Farhan Akhtar is one of the few Bollywood celebs who can do it all. He can write scripts, direct movies, act in them, and sing like a pro too. Hours ago, the actor was seen enjoying a fun evening strumming his guitar. In the video he shared online, the Dil Chahta Hai director can be seen donning a well-tailored black suit. Pairing it with a crisp white shirt, a black tie, and shiny boots, he looked dapper.

But what stole the show was the way he was playing the guitar and whistling the iconic theme song from Ramesh Sippy's film Sholay. Sharing the video, he asked his followers to guess what he was playing. He captioned the clip, “Recognise this ..? #themesforlife.”

Check out his post:


Within minutes, the answers started pouring in. The first one was actress Amrita Arora who penned, “Sholay” with a fire emoji. Her sister, filmmaker Zoya Akhtar also commented a smiley emoji. While his wife Shibani Akhtar showered red heart emojis, a user wrote, “I always missed your singing. Please bring it back.”
