The Bollywood cinematic canvas is not just a medium, it is a sense of belonging; as much for the actors as for their audience. There is another canvas however; the one that allows our busy actors to recharge their batteries. We are talking about the canvas of sketches and colors. It is the passion for painting that many of our actors have revealed to us over time. This side of their talent, given their busy schedule, does not allow too much indulgence but when it is the case, as in their films, the actors give their all here too.
Ileana D’Cruz
Ileana is a leading actor, a fashion icon and a painter too. The first time she revealed the inner painter in her, she did it a little differently than the norm might be. She piqued her audience’s attention by sharing a little poem that served as a prelude to her work, then revealed the painting itself.
Siddhant Chaturvedi
Millennial idol, Siddhant Chaturvedi is another name on this list. Taking to his Instagram, he recently shared a photo of himself, palette in hand, painting a serene image on the canvas. As soon as the message reached its gram, the double taps began to flow for the actor.
Tara Sutaria
For some of our beloved stars, drawing is also a seasonal hobby. Take for example the case of the sensual Tara Sutaria. Monsoon is that time of year when Tara enjoys indulging in her love for charcoal painting.
Wamiqa Gabbi
Few people know that Wamiqa Gabbi is also a wonderful painter. She is totally self-taught. She hopes she can find the time to learn the art professionally one day, but until then, nothing will stop her from indulging in colors and brushes. Painting is for her a meditative process that she constantly awaits with impatience.
Sonakshi sinha
Then the queen of mass, Sonakshi Sinha. Her love for exploring faces has led her to explore her passion for drawing time and time again. Each face tells a story and through his art, Sonakshi creates visual stories.
Last but not least, no film list is entirely complete without the mention of King Midas of Bollywood, Salman Khan. The super cool actor makes everything so easy. Whether it’s his action sequences or his workout regimes, there’s always an ease with which he gets things done. The same goes for his love for drawing and painting.
