Vedanta's Anil Agarwal has a special talent, reveals RPG Group boss

Other than making money, every businessman has a hobby that not many people know about.

Billionaire Warren Buffet is dedicated towards a game of bridge. Microsoft founder Bill Gates loves playing golf. Tata Sons Chairman Emeritus Ratan Tata, an ace jet plane pilot, recently revealed he wants to take up piano lessons.

And, Vedanta Resources Executive Chairman Anil Agarwal is a passionate singer, revealed a video uploaded by Harsh Goenka on Twitter.


The RPG Enterprise Chairman shared a 32-second-long video of Agarwal singing 'O Sanam Tere Ho Gaye Hum', originally sung by Mohammed Rafi and Lata Mangeshkar, from the 1964 movie 'Ayee Milan Ki Bela'.

In the video, 'Indian Idol 12' winner Pawandeep Rajan and first runner-up Arunita Kanjilal were seen cheering the 67-year-old billionaire as he passionately sang the song.


This was a throwback video from this year's festive celebrations, hosted by Agawal in Mumbai, on the eve of Janmashtami.

When a Twitter user asked about his passion, Goenka promptly replied, "art, reading, sports."


Last month on August 29, Agarwal had shared a glimpse of the musical evening - where he said he had an amazing time meeting the "talented Indian Idols".

In the 39-second-long video, the mining baron praised the singers' confidence, and mentioned that they performed Pahari and Bengali songs for the audience.

Agarwal further said that the duo had made the festive evening special by sharing their simple and heart-touching stories.


Adman Prasoon Joshi, who was also part of the musical night, made it to 'Fashion' director Madhur Bhandarkar's Instagram post along with Rajan and Kanjilal.
