While he is busy with Siddharth Kumar Tewary's show Porus, actor Mohit Abrol is making sure to take out time for the other things that matter to him too. The versatile actor is a painter and a musician as well. Talking about his love for painting, the actor says that an incident in his childhood sparked this. "It all started when I was in Class 2. I belong to the picturesque Dharamshala and we had a shop there. One day a foreigner came to our shop and gave me a book which had all the paintings of Leonardo Da Vinci. I got fascinated with the art and since then I am attached to painting. I went to Sacred Heart High School in Dharamshala and enjoyed my student life there," he says.

Mohit who is currently attending an art exhibition in Mumbai feels art and music are an integral part of his life. "Whenever I get time, I involve myself in painting and music. Since my high school, I have started taking interest in musical instruments and guitar holds a special place in my heart. Learning an instrument is tough as during initial days you need to give a lot of time."

In fact, recently Mohit has got a Yamaha guitar from his fiancee, actress Mansi Srivastava. He adds, "On my birthday Mansi gave me the guitar and I was super happy. This one is my fifth guitar."
