Speaking about his passion for the guitar, Bharat shared, “I’ve always loved playing the guitar, and getting a chance to do it on my show was so much exciting. It allowed me to bring a piece of myself into the character. I actually got inspired to learn the basics of guitar after watching the movie Rockstar — it left a deep impression on me.”

“Though I’m not a professional, I’ve kept at it over the years. When my co-stars found out, they insisted I play something for them too. We’ve been bonding over music during our breaks, and I didn’t miss the chance to lighten the mood by playing a few tracks. It brought such a fresh energy to the set. These are the little moments we cherish as actors — they stay with us long after the scenes are done,” he added.

Bharat also mentioned that his passion for music extended beyond the screen. During filming breaks, he would often surprise his co-stars with spontaneous jam sessions, turning the set into a vibrant, music-filled environment where laughter and camaraderie flourished.

In Zee TV’s show ‘Jaane Anjaane Hum Mile,’ love takes center stage as Bharat Ahlawat’s character, Raghav, embarks on a touching journey to learn the guitar in an attempt to win over his wife, Reet (Ayushi Khurana). What adds an extra layer of authenticity to this storyline is that Bharat is actually a guitar player in real life.
