From Salman Khan to Diljit Dosanjh, 5 actors who can sing like a dream!

Musicals are a huge part of Bollywood and we also have to note that we wouldn’t be one of the biggest film industries in the world if it wasn’t for the song and dance style we are extremely known for and proud of. But, a lot of actors in India don’t sing their own parts of the song as they have trusted playback singers who sing for them and make them sound like a dream on screen. But now, a few actors in the industry have challenged this norm in style to showcase their own talent when it comes to song.

So, without wasting your time further, here are five actors who have acted, danced and even sung for their audiences and fans!

Salman Khan: The list had to begin with the Bhaijaan of Bollywood, Salman Khan. The Tiger Zinda Hai star, who was only known for his on-point ability of essaying a multitude of characters for the screen, surprised one and all when he made showcased his ability as a singer when he lent his voice to the hugely popular Hangover song for his own film, Kick (2014) and even crooned his own version of the party anthem of that year, Jumme Ki Raat. Post which, he got back into the recording studio once again, and this time for the iconic “Main Hoon Hero Tera” for Sooraj Pancholi and Athiya Shetty’s Bollywood debut film, Hero, which was produced by Khan himself.

Amitabh Bachchan: It is a well-established fact that Mr. Bachchan possesses a voice one can never forget about. One of Senior Bachchan’s first songs is a cult classic, Rang Barse, without which any Holi party is incomplete. He also recorded a wonderful track for Nishabd, which starred the late Jiah Khan, called Rozana. But, our eternal favourite Amitabh Bachchan song will always be the pop video song that took India by storm called Ek rahen eer, ek rahen beer, it is a video that reminded us, not only can Big B do romance, he can become a pop culture phenomenon too. Even quite recently, the Bollywood legend with a voice to kill for delivered a quirky number titled Badumbaaa, which will be a part of his upcoming flick, 102 Not Out.

Arunoday Singh: The parallel lead in Blackmail, who made his mark in the Bollywood film industry with films like Yeh Saali Zindagi and Aisha is also a singer. The actor, who has been receiving praise for his role alongside Irrfan Khan surprisingly is also quite a singer. He is a theatre actor who was taken into musicals because of his booming voice and sound quality. He will be seen in the upcoming Broadway Show, titled Sound of Music, that has been brought to India. Essaying the part of Captain Vontrapp, audiences will get to hear him sing about the ‘hills being alive’ and ‘ Ave Maria.’ Apart from acting and singing, Arunoday is also a poet and an artist with a pretty decent fan following on social media.

Diljit Dosanjh: A house hold name in the Punjabi film industry, Diljit made his mark in Hindi cinema with his song Ik Kudi, which was featured in Udta Punjab. It has only been upwards since then, as he ended up singing for Phillauri and Noor. He will also be heard in his upcoming film, Soorma, where he plays the role of the real-life hockey legend, Sandeep Singh. The actor is also a pop sensation in his own right and is very well known for his music videos and songs. He has toured the world for his musical conquests and has, in turn, garnered a lot of love and appreciation for himself, especially from the Non-Punjabi folks.

Ayushmann Khurrana: The song Pani Da Rang Vekhke from Vicky Donor turned out to be a turning point for then-newcomer Ayushmann Khurrana’s as post his Bollywood debut, the actor went on to singing in almost all his films. His latest outing is the recreated version of Arko Pravo Mukherjee’s Nazm Nazm from Bareilly ki Barfi, which unfailingly strikes the right chords with everyone every single time the song gets played.
