Tejaswini Kolhapure has a strong connect with her 150-year-old Rudra Veena

Coming from a family of music stalwarts, it is no surprise that Tejaswini Kolhapure has a special connect with music. Recently, the actress did a shoot with her ancestral veena, which is over 150 years old.

Talking about the veena, Tejaswini gushes, “It was nostalgic to work with our ancestral veena. It belonged to my grandfather Pandit Krishna Rao Kolhapure, and he was gifted this veena by his Guru, Murad Khan Sahab. My father Pandit Pandharinath Kolhapure has played it, too. After my father’s death, Ustaad

Bahauddin Dagar

pushed me to learn the basics of

Rudra Veena

. He even insisted that I take care of this veena and today, I feel indebted to him for it.”
