Shilpa Shetty has learned a new skill…kinda. On the sets of her new movie The Man, Shilpa plays an actress (a stunningly difficult role I’m sure) who knows how to play the violin. So Shilpa has decided that since she’s such a professional actress, she would get into character by actually learning how the violin is played.

A source reports,

“Shilpa’s character in The Man is of an actress. She is playing herself in the film. But her character also has an interesting side. She is a violin expert just like pop sensation Vanessa Mae. Her violin playing shots in the film have been styled like a Vanessa Mae video. The film shows her as a famous public figure with a massive fan following. Shilpa wanted to lend authenticity to her character and decided to learn to play the violin.”

Shilpa loves playing the violin, though I wonder where her skill level is, since it’s quite a difficult instrument to play, but either way, she’s earned the respect of co-star Sunny Deol who’s impressed with the work she’s putting into the role.

Shilpa herself says,

“I have to play the violin in The Man. And to make it look real, I’m taking actual lessons. Trust me, it’s a very difficult job to play the violin. I’m having a tough time. My instructor tells me that it’s the most difficult instrument to play and he’s quite right!”

-Insert cutting remark here- I’ve had a long and tiring day.
