The relatively older Bollywood songs always had a peculiar trait and it was that particular singers were used for particular actors. These playback singers' voices suited very well to the actors and we as kids always felt that the actors themselves are singing the songs while all they did was lip syncing! This was the special quality of old Bollywood songs that made these songs more enjoyable and pleasant to listen to. So today, I would like to share with you, a list of 5 singer-actor duos that made Bollywood songs more precious and made us fall in love with the songs which has these jodis. Take a read below at the list.
1) Shah Rukh Khan-Udit Narayan:
Udit Narayan's voice for Shah Rukh Khan songs had caught us up in a lie throughout our childhood that it was Shah Rukh Khan who sings the songs. But when te truth struck us that it is actually Udit Narayan who sings the songs, no one could stop us from admiring his skills and falling in love with his voice and also praising this finest actor-singer duo.
2) Saif Ali Khan-Shaan:
There is something about the voices of these both. It feels like as if this match was made in heaven, I mean their voices are completely made for each other. For sure, if Saif Ali Khan could sing, he will surely sing like Shaan. Be it a romantic song like 'Kuch Toh Hua Hai' or a energetic party song like 'Koi Kahe Kehta Rahe', Shaan singing for Saif Ali Khan always suits well.
3) Salman Khan-S. P. Balasubrahmanyam:
Another popular singer-actor duo whose voices go so well together. There are so many songs sung by S. P. Balasubrahmanyam for Salman Khan and there's no turning away from the fact that his voice was the voice that most suited Salman Khan. The way their duo made hit songs and made us feel all the feels truly cannot be articulated in words.
4) Preity Zinta-Gayatri Ganjawala:
Ever properly paid attention to the song 'My dil goes mmm....?' If yes, then you probably know why I have mentioned this duo. Preity Zinta has a very different voice but she is the singer whose voice has perfectly matched Preity Zinta's voice. This is another instance where I believed that it was Saif Ali Khan and Preity Zinta themselves signing the song, 'My Dil Goes Mmm...'.
5) Amrita Rao-Vasundhara Das:
I think you must have never heard of this duo but I wanted to mention it because Vasundhara Das's voice for Amrita Rao matched so well. In the song 'Chale Jaise Hawaayein' from Main Hoon Na, we have seen Vasundhara Das lending her voice to Amrita Rao's character 'Sanjana' and that's when I realized that yes, their voices are almost the same!
So, this was a small list of some singer-actor duos which always made our Bollywood songs special, unique and more exciting and enjoyable. Feel free to share in the comments below some more singer-actor duos whose voices you feel go well together.
All these duos have made hit songs ...thx for the list 😉
