Mohit Suri: Udita Goswami Wanted to be a Rock star

Mohit Suri: Udita Goswami Wanted to be a Rock star

Mohit and Udita hosted a special screening of Ek Villain in Mumbai recently

Highlights

  • Filmmaker Mohit Suri says his wife Udita Goswami is "musically inclined" and wanted to be a rock star but ended up being an actor.
  • His cousin Pooja Bhatt introduced Udita to Bollywood with her 2003 film Paap and two years later Suri directed the actress in her second film Zeher.
  • "Udita wanted to be a rock star but ended up being an actor. She is more musically inclined," said Mohit who married Udita in 2013 after dating her for about nine years.
  • "Right now she is doing her music production course. She is already practicing to perform as a DJ," he added.
  • Mohit says that in Udita's family everyone has a passion for music.
  • "When I go to her place and tell her folks, 'let's play some music' after dinner, everyone gets the guitar and starts playing. They all are super talented. They make their own song and record it."
  • "And they are into corporate jobs and not connected to the entertainment industry at all. Udita has inherited the same," said the director whose recent film Ek Villain is running successfully in theatres.
  • "I don't know how to play any instrument," he said.
  • When it comes to music, Mohit too has an ear for it as the songs of his film always turn out to be chartbusters. For instance Agar Tum Mil Jao from Zeher is still on people's favourite list. In recent times, Tum Hi Ho from Aashiqui 2 and Galliyan from Ek Villain wooed music lovers.
  • But interestingly Udita prefers music from Ayan Mukerji's films.
  • "She finds Ayan Mukerji film songs better. She is more commercial than I am. I told Ayan once that my wife is a fan of your music not mine," said Mohit.
