He is a veteran in acting and has even lent his voice to a few songs but there's one thing that megastar Amitabh Bachchan is itching to do - learn how to play a musical instrument.

"Many a time in life I have wished to spend time and effort in getting down to learn just any one instrument but I am just not getting enough courage to get into it. It would perhaps take me another lifetime, " Amitabh posted on his blog.

The 67-year-old says if nothing else, he likes to randomly hit the keys of a piano at his house.

"And so, helpless, I retire to my own piano, gifted to me on my birthday by the family and start pushing some 'blacks' and 'whites' randomly. I try to look so very professional and well equipped. There is nothing of value that comes out but I do have to say that every note creates that much desired feel of... what can I say... fulfilment, " he added.
