Taking a break from their busy shooting schedules, we often see actors dabble with different art forms given their bent of mind. However, in Karan Singh Grover’s case, it gets pretty interestin­g, for the actor is an ambidextro­us, meaning he uses both his hands simultaneo­usly to paint.

The 38-year-old actor tells us, “For me, art and spirituali­ty are parallel sides of the same road. I can paint and write with both hands. I can do different things at the same time using both of my hands.”

A source says that Grover chooses varied concepts for his artworks — “right from capturing the big concepts of universe, infinity, divinity, spirituali­ty and dimensions, and uses colour palettes, black pen and ink art, brushes and spray paints.” Interestin­gly, the actor is also set to soon display his artwork at a public exhibition, which has been reschedule­d due to coronaviru­s outbreak.

Confirming the same, he says, “Yes, it would be the first time I’ll exhibit my art. I’m not nervous, but very excited. I got a lot of positive feedback from buyers, collectors and the gallery, along with people from art fraternity.” He further shares that it was none other than his wife, actor Bipasha (Basu Singh Grover) who pushed him. “It’s all because of her. On one of the drawings I had made long back, she had remarked ‘it’s interestin­g’ and that I must do some more, so I did. If that encouragem­ent hadn’t come my way, and she hadn’t been the angel that she is, maybe life would have taken a different route. Right now, we are here,” he ends.
