Good looks, good acting chops, and now good voices!
Sonakshi Sinha has joined the bandwagon of actors, who have put their singing voices on display!
The actress has recorded her maiden single Ishqoholic, and it won't be long before you hear this hip hop number composed by the Meet Bros.
While Sona's singing debut has got everyone excited, we look at actors, who have charmed us with their vocals skills in the recent times.
Vote for your favourite singer at the end!
Priyanka Chopra
One of the most hard working stars in Bollywood, Ms Chopra has many skills as well.
Besides acting and being a fashion diva, PeeCee also has a successful singing career.
Her singles In My City and Exotic received amazing response in India. She then sang in two songs in her films, Mary Kom and Dil Dhadakne Do.
Shraddha Kapoor
Last year was rather fruitful for this Kapoor girl as she not only tasted commercial success with Ek Villain but the film also gave her recognition as a singer.
Shraddha sang the unplugged version of Galliyan and it became a chartbuster in no time. She showed her versatility as a singer in Haider and gave us Kashmiri folk song Do Jahaan.
Alia Bhatt
Like Shraddha, the Highway actress has also impressed the audience with her beautiful voice.
The Shaandaar heroine crooned the unplugged version of Samjhawan for her film Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania and wowed everyone, including industry folks.
Salman Khan
Apart from delivering blockbusters, launching new faces and helping people through his charity organisation Being Human, this superstar can also sing.
Salman's song Main Hoon Hero Tera from Hero is one of the most popular romantic numbers of this year. He has another popular number to his credit: Hangover from Kick.
Dhanush
This list would be incomplete with this South superstar. Well, he is the man behind the Kolaveri Di hysteria, which still hasn't faded away.
Kolaveri Di is written and sung by Dhanush himself. The song was released in 2011 and within no time it became a chartbuster because of its quirky lyrics.
The song featured in the film 3, which was directed by Dhanush's wife Aishwarya.
Shruti Haasan
Kamal Haasan's daughter has been singing since the age of six. Not only Shruti has sung in Tamil and Hindi films, the actress is also a part of a rock band called The Extramentals.
She sang the soulful number Joganiya in Arjun Kapoor-Sonakshi Sinha starrer Tevar, which gave her instant recognition as a singer in Bollywood.
Farhan Akhtar
He is a filmmaker, actor, social activist and a rockstar!
Farhan has quite a few hit songs to his credit like Dil Dhadakne Do title track, Senorita from Zindagi Milegi Na Dobara and Pichle Sath Dino Mein from Rock On!!
Shah Rukh Khan
After singing Apun Bola Tu Meri Laila in Josh, King Khan recently went behind the mike for his musical blockbuster film Happy New Year.
SRK lent his voice for the World Dance Medley along with Shankar Mahadevan, Neeti Mohan, KK, Vishal Dadlani and Sukhwinder Singh.
Madhuri Dixit
She is a dancing diva, who is an equally good singer. Remember the Kaahe Chhed song from Sanjay Leela Bhansali's magnum opus Devdas? Well, Madhuri crooned the number along with Kavita Krishnamurthy and Birju Maharaj.
And last year for her film Gualab Gang, she sang Rangi Saari Gulaabi along with her mother.
Aamir Khan
If the other two Khans can sing, then Aamir can do it as well. Who can forget Aati Kya Khandala from Ghulam, right?
But not many are aware of the fact that Khan has also sung the Bum Bum Bole song from Taare Zameen Par along with Shaan.
