Boman Irani: Music is something I love to do

BY NATALIA NINGTHOUJAM New Delhi, Nov 6 : Actor Boman Irani recently pumped in some hope in these gloomy times by singing his own version of a classic song. Although music is not his day job, he says he loves it.
The actor was recently was joined by a choir of schoolgirls when he sang “Over the rainbow”, originally rendered by Judy Garland for the 1939 Hollywood classic “The Wizard of Oz”.
“‘Over the rainbow’ is a song that I have been singing ever since I was a kid. I am so glad that people have loved it,” Boman told IANS.
This isn’t the first time that his fans got to listen to his sonorous voice. Years ago, he sang his version of “Give me some sunshine” from the blockbuster film “3 Idiots”, in which he memorably played the strict college principal Viru Sahastrabuddhe.
“I also made Frank Sinatra’s ‘My way’ my own. I must have sung that about a thousand times. That became my signature song,” said Boman.
But he doesn’t frequently get into singing.
