Hailing from a family that has been serving the hindustani classical musical instrument sarod for seven generations, Amaan Ali Bangash and Ayaan Ali Bangash open up about what it is to live with a legend like Ustad Amjad Ali Khan and taking the legacy forward.

Ustad Amjad Ali Khan tells us about the first piece of technology he owned, Ayaan tells about how he loves Coldplay and Amaan cringes, like we all do, when we think of our first crushes.

Here are some adorable pictures of the two with their father:
