New Delhi: Eisha Singh is back as Zara Siddiqui with the new season of Ishq Subhan Allah post lockdown. The actress is thoroughly enjoying shooting for the show and even more these days as she’s learning to play the musical instrument Santoor for one of the tracks on the show.
Her character is a music healer that required the actress to gain some skills in playing Santoor. To bring authenticity to her character, Eisha started taking lessons to play the instrument. The actress was pleasantly surprised to find the calming effect of the instrument on her.
Eisha has been eagerly learning to play the Santoor instrument from a Guru ji on the set. Mesmerised by Santoor, the actress now aspires to learn and play this instrument as a pro in the future.
Sharing her experience, Eisha Singh said, “My return in Ishq Subhan Allah presented me with the opportunity to learn a lot from my new character and learning to play the Santoor is just one element of it. The instrument while is not so common, has a soothing and calming effect on one and its tunes have left me extremely fascinated. I was in a state of bliss on hearing the sound of the santoor for the first time when it was played on set by the Guruji who has also been teaching me. While I am still getting a hold of the basics and I’m far from being a pro, I’ve managed to get a minimal understanding on how to play the instrument and its effect on people. Infact, I do aspire to one day learn how to play this instrument fluently and ace at it.”
Eisha was overjoyed with the show’s return and said that it was surreal to be back on the show after a gap.
“It sure was a surreal feeling to be back on the sets of Ishq Subhan Allah after such a long gap. There are so many memories associated with almost every nook and corner of this set that it felt like I have come back home. Taking a tour of the set, I could sense a strong nostalgic emotion gripping me, which almost got me in tears. While quite a few of the crew members were new to me, spotting a familiar face in Adnan amongst them was definitely a highlight of my first day. It was a great start to this new journey and I really look forward to all the new surprises that await me,” she had said earlier.
