Mumbai:
Actor Amitabh Bachchan, who has sung songs like Holi Khele Raghuveera and Ekla Chalo Re and Main Yahan Tu Wahan for his films, credits his father, late poet Harivansh Rai Bachchan for his inclination towards music.
"The music that represents me, that I get the opportunity to explore and compose, comes from within by its own accord. There is no training nor any professional bearing. It just comes. I cannot but begin to believe that the strains of my father's music interest, has followed my genes as an integral part of my construct. I do not have any other reason for its presence," Mr Bacchhan wrote on his official blog.

However, the actor has certain reservations too.
"Music remained integral in us all from our days of learning to crawl. But the learning of it, crawled throughout us. Till date, I ask many of those that have the blessings of notes and chords and voice, what it would take to be in their justice, in their sanctified courtyard. They assure me it to be never too late. I have reservations. My hours and time has passed and wished away of learning. May it remain within, if not in learning, then in its subdued and silent presence," he added.
The Piku actor also wrote about his mother.
"My mother lost her mother at birth. She was cared for and nurtured into life by those who mothered her. Those that did and I had the fortune till date of being in their love, affection and respect, fondly remember her vivacity and joy of life. Her singing, her voice, her aesthetics and her zestful aura," said Big B.
"She was the soul and the life of all her surroundings. She would walk into an environment and there was a silent awe that followed her. She would drive her friends to long journeys and sing and make happy banter. She married my father in disobeyed feelings from her father and the family. She came away swiftly and suddenly from her affluent aristocratic home to the humble lower class belongings of my father. She brought nothing with her, except a few clothing to wear and a gramophone and old winding one, antique now, but grand in its bearing. It remained with us and me in particular for long - at least till we were in Delhi," he wrote.
Mr Bachchan, who was last seen in Shoojit Sircar's Piku, is now gearing up for the release of Bejoy Nambiar's Wazir co-starring Farhan Akhtar.
Wazir is scheduled to release on December 4.
