My o my, talk about loud stress-busting techniques! Bollywood babe Sonakshi Sinha is nowadays learning how to play the drums. Yes, you heard right, the drums. Not because she intends to join a band or do a film in which she’s playing the part of a drummer, but because she thinks it’s a stress buster.

Sonakshi S says when she was in school she wanted to learn to play percussions but her mother insisted that it’s noisy and she should rather try her hand at the guitar. Now that she’s big enough to snub her mom, she’s doing as she pleases.

Seriously! If noise can be therapeutic for her, her father’s voice ain’t too bad either.
