Speaking of the video, the legendary sarod player’s sons Amaan Ali Bangash and Ayaan Ali Bangash as well as his grandsons Zohaan and Abeer performed together during the concert. Meanwhile, the caption of Jr Bachchan’s post read, “An absolute joy and honour to witness the mastery, brilliance, culture and tradition of @aaksarod sahab along with my brothers @amaanalibangash and @ayaanalibangash but happiest to hear young #Zohaan and #Abeer play and continue the legacy of the family. Two more maestros on the way!!! In my childhood, Amaan, Ayaan and I used to learn the Sarod together under our Guru Amjad uncle.” The 47-year-old actor further added, “I didn’t continue learning as I moved to boarding school, a slight sore point with him still. But, to witness Amaan and Ayaan grow to be such wonderful students and children to both their parents and see them make their parents proud is just so wonderful. And now to see Ayaan and Neema’s sons join them and play together is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. 3 generations on stage together! / The future of our music, Indian classical music is in safe hands.” Reacting to Abhishek’s appreciation post, Ayaan Ali Bangash commented, “Thank you for all your love as always,” followed by multiple blue-heart emoticons.   View this post on Instagram   A post shared by Abhishek Bachchan (@bachchan) Coming to the professional front, Abhishek was last seen in the third season of Prime Video’s original series Breathe: Into The Shadows.
