Priyanka Chopra, Shruti Haasan, Ayushmann Khurrana: Bollywood actors who can also sing

Actors lip-syncing to songs is a thing of the past now. Several actors are now taking up the challenge of singing their own songs for their films. Surprisingly, many have succeeded in impressing the audience too. Actors like Ayushmann Khurrana, Parineeti Chopra, Alia Bhatt have proved that they can also sing beautifully. Here’s taking a look at some more…

Ayushmann Khurrana showed off his singing prowess in his debut film, ‘Vicky Donor' when he crooned, ‘Pani Da Rang’ which is still one of the most loved songs of the actor. Music has always been an integral part of his life as his father had a great sense of music and used to play the flute. The ace actor has songs like ‘Naina Da Kya Kasoor’, ‘Mere Liye Tum Kaafi Ho’, ‘Nain Naa Jodeen’ to his credit.

Parineeti Chopra is a trained Hindustani classical singer with a BA Honours in music. She's been singing since she was knee-high. She had once spoken about the good old days when Priyanka Chopra and she would join their fathers on stage and all four would sing together. She made her singing debut in ‘Meri Pyaari Bindu’ with the song, ‘Maana Ke Hum Yaar Nahin’ for which she received immense appreciation from the audience and critics alike.

With lyricist-poet Javed Akhtar as his father, it was obvious that Farhan Akhtar would lean towards music. While he has proved himself exceptional in the field of acting and directing, he has also showed off his expertise when it comes to singing. Farhan has crooned a lot of songs in his films. He has songs like, ‘Rock On!’ and ‘Senorita’ to his credit.

Forget about singing for her own films, Shruti Haasan is a part of a music band where she croons original songs. The talented actress has done playback for various songs in Tamil, Kannada, Telugu and Hindi industry. She was even nominated numerous times for her work in these films.

Priyanka Chopra is a trained classical singer and has proved herself as a singer right from her debut film. She had lent her voice to a song in her first film, ‘Thamizhan’ in 2002. Her songs in Bollywood movies like, ‘Mary Kom’ and ‘Dil Dhadakne Do’ are also quite unmissable. Above all, she also released two international singles, ‘In My City’ and ‘Exotic’. Needless to say, they were smashing hits.

Alia Bhatt has proved that she is one of the most talented actresses we have in Bollywood today. The actress crooned ‘Highway’ song ‘Sooha Saha’ offering a glimpse of her singing prowess. She also mesmerised everyone when she lent her soulful voice to ‘Main Tennu Samjhawan’ in ‘Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania’.

Not many know that Shraddha is related to Lata Mangeshkar and Asha Bhosle. So it is not surprising that the actress too shares an interest in music and has trained in singing. She treated her fans with her melodious voice in the ‘Ek Villain’ song, ‘Teri Galliyan’.
