5 Bollywood Actors who can sing like a dream!

Musicals are a huge part of Bollywood, 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. But a lot of actors in India don’t sing their own parts of the song, they have trusted playback singers who sing for them and make them sound like heaven on screen. A few actors in the industry have broken out of this style to showcase their own talent when it comes to song. Here are five actors who have act, danced and sung in their films and on stage.

Amitabh Bachchan: The list had to begin with Big B, the man with a voice one can never forget. One of Senior Bachchan’s first songs is a cult classic, Rang Barse, without which every Holi is incomplete. His voice has also delved into much softer music with a wonderful song from Nishabd starring 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.
