If cinema is the heart of India, music is its soul. While the actors portraying different roles take us to a new world each time we watch a movie, it’s the songs and the voices behind them that makes all the difference in the world. 

While there are brilliant actors in Bollywood, there are few gifted ones with multiple talents. Most of the actors have their trusted playback singers giving them the on-screen voice, making that song our favourite. 

But a few actors in the industry have broken out of this style to showcase their own talent when it comes to music. Being good at one thing is great, but what if you were brilliant in the other one too? Bringing you a list of actors who can act, dance AND sing, proving nothing is impossible for them.

1. Amitabh Bachchan

Just like Bollywood starts with his name, this list has to begin with Amitabh Bachchan’s name as well. He is someone whose voice one can never be forgotten. One of Senior Bachchan’s first songs is a cult classic, ‘Rang Barse’. Can anyone imagine celebrating Holi without this song? 

Just like his acting, he has given a range of songs that are unforgettable. Remember Rozana from ‘Nishabd’? A song that showed us a very different side of B-Big. But our all-time favourite is his pop video song ‘Ek Rahen Eer, Ek Rahen Beer’ that literally took India by a storm. Only if every man could have this incredible baritone! 

2. Priyanka Chopra

Taking the world by a storm, Priyanka Chopra is the ultimate example of queen bee ruling the glamour world! From acting to singing, she has made her place everywhere. While it’s been a while since we have seen her in Bollywood, we got to admit that the desi diva is kicking some ass in Hollywood, making India proud. What started with ‘In My City’, Priyanka has come a long way and given us some amazing songs. 

While we totally love her English singles, it is her song ‘Chaoro’ from Mary Kom that is the real deal. 

And have you heard her Marathi song ‘Baba’? If not, you are truly missing something brilliant!

3. Shah Rukh Khan

There is no home in Punjab that isn’t familiar with Diljit Dosanjh. The actor who already rules North India made his mark in Hindi cinema with ‘Udta Punjab’. He wasn’t just loved for his acting but the song Ik Kudi was an instant hit.

Since then there has been no looking back for Diljit. From ‘Phillauri’ to ‘Noor’, he has been topping the chartbuster list every time. While he is still making his place in B-town, he already has a huge fan following abroad where he is seen travelling and performing quite often.
