Actress Shraddha Kapoor has something more than just acting on her mind. The "Aashiqui 2" actress wants to start taking music lessons again.

The 24-year-old, who took singing lessons in her childhood, decided to exercise her vocal skills after playing the role of singer Arohi in her debut movie "Aashqui 2" opposite Aditya Roy Kapoor.

"I am really keen to start my music riyaz (practice) once again. Playing Arohi only reminded me how much I missed doing it," Shraddha said in a statement.

The actress will soon be seen in Punit Malhotra's forthcoming movie "Gori Tere Pyaar Mein".

He seemed cheerful: Big B on Dilip Kumar

Megastar Amitabh Bachchan says veteran actor Dilip Kumar was cheerful when he went to meet him in a hospital here.

The 90-year-old was admitted to Lilavati Hospital Sep 15 after suffering a mild heart attack. His health has improved and he has been shifted to a private room from the intensive care unit (ICU).

The "Mughal-E-Azam" actor is married to veteran actress Saira Banu.

"He seemed cheerful, at least when he saw me. Sairaji warned me that he had been quite irritable and non-cooperative throughout the day, and so to excuse any kind of untoward behaviour that he may dole out to me. But he was gracious and kind," Amitabh posted on his blog.

"But he smiled when he saw me and when I held his hand he gripped it like I would never be able to extricate myself from it ? strong and full of strength," wrote Big B, who played Dilip Kumar's rebellious son in the movie "Shakti".

According to a source, Dilip Kumar may be discharged from the hospital in a couple of days.
