Music station

Although he tried his hand at acting initially, Rohan says music seems to be his natural calling. His album has eight tracks which comprise everything from romantic ballads to Bhangra-Pop. "Each song is of a different flavour," he says, revealing that there’s also one with Sufi undertones." And that’s the one that gives the album its name.

And besides what he picked up at home, during his schooling years Rohan trained with Pandit Tulsiram Sharma, then joined Chote Iqbal for refresher classes. He first received public exposure when he began participating in live shows, where he received much adulation merely for being the son of his illustrious father. It was only after the hardworking boy produced and hosted that popular music show, Meri Awaaz Suno on TV, that audiences noticed his own singing talent.

As far as his acting career was concerned, his cholocate-boy looks helped land him his debut role in Yash Chopra’s Faasle, which he followed up with such films as Love 86 and Imaandar. But such colossal duds as Masti and Mera Naseeb ended up grounding his on-screen career. Luckily for him, his riyaaz kept him going, and today tables have turned even as Rohan has been approached for a leading role in a soap called Tamanna to be telecast on SABe-TV.

However, the only thing that’s keeping him excited these days, is his album, which has been generating a positive response already.
