Ayaan, 20 & Amaan, 22
Sarod Players

Pair of Princes
See these boys. Clean cut college kids. They love cricket, mtv, life. For Ayaan and Amaan Ali Bangash, that's where ordinary stops. They have a father and guru in Amjad Ali Khan. That's also when talk of a legacy starts.

"In spite of our hard work, when people say it is all because of abba, we tend to get very discouraged," says Ayaan. Call it a legitimate sulk and it tells only half the story. The other half is that they are beginning to come out of their brilliant and media-savvy father's shadow. Now they present concerts individually and have also released albums. "We live on music and for music," says Amaan. While they choose the musical presentation after discussing with their father, their performances are equally well planned in appearance with their mother Subbhalakshmi carefully choosing the kurtas and shawls. In this business, it's called having the right tayyari, or preparation. Showtime.
