Bollywood actor-filmmaker Farhan Akhtar says for him getting onto a stage to perform is like jumping out of a plane and he is yet to shake off that fright. When asked whether he suffered from stage fright, Farhan told PTI here: “Every single time! I equate it to jumping out of a plane.
I have done 100-plus jumps by now, but every time I go to the door, there’s always that one little elem-ent of ‘what if’? at the back of my head. But once you jump off, it’s just incredible.
“Even during my con-certs, I get that same feeling when I walk up the stairs to the stage. I take a deep breath, but it’s always good after that,” he said.
The multi-faceted Akhtar is performing live for the first time at a music festival, Windsong music festival, the two-day event commen-cing here tomorrow. On how his daughters Shakya and Akira react to their rocker dad, he said, “They are always very excited! I think, they like the music of Rock On!! the most because they connect with me in the songs.
On what one can expect from the performance at Windsong music festival and anything in particular the fans can get excited about, he said it’s definitely exciting coming here as a live performer. “Just to come and share the music we have made in our films over the last 10 or 12 years with the fans here is very, very exciting.
The common feeling everywhere when people come for a concert is that they want to have a good time. “The audience every-where likes to be included in the performance.(PTI)
