Filmmaker-actor-activist Amole Gupte’s son Partho Ghosh who won the National award for his stellar performance in Stanley Ka Dabba turned down a plum offer from Vishal Bharadwaj.

He is now 12... and is learning to be a guitarist.

The talented youngster has been taking guitar lessons from a legendary guitarist.

Says the proud father, “He is a left-handed guitarist. For some time now Partho has been learning to play the guitar from Bismarck Rodrigues who has taught the likes of Ehsaan Noorani (of Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy) and Sanjay Divecha.”

Amole proudly reveals that Partho is a choir singer in school. “Partho sings extremely well. There’s a musician lurking in him. But we are not encouraging him to feel like a special actor, special musician or special in any way. We’ve even put away his awards for Stanley Ka Dabba at a place behind the door.”

Partho is not being allowed to do any more films at the moment.

Says Amole, “I keep getting acting offers for Partho. My standard reply is no. I felt bad saying no to Vishal Bharadwaj when he offered Partho Ek Thi Daayan. He is acting in my film Hawa Hawaai now. That's all. I can’t allow him to work odd hours that would affect his studies and other normal activities. That would be bad karma. God bless my child.”
