Everyone wants to learn new things and get into something, which is more challenging, and a lot different. Trying to take up something diverse, there are many Bollywood singers who wanted to try their luck as actors but unfortunately the results were not prolific. The most naïve star in this category will be the ‘4 Bottle Vodka’ singer, Yo Yo Honey Singh.
He is one the cast members of a recently released ‘The Xpose’. He’s done an average job as an actor in the small negative character that he played in this flick. He surely is a far better singer than an actor.He is trying hard to act but fails every time. Yes, we are talking about Himesh Reshamiya. He is a versatile singer but has had a hard luck when it comes to movies and he playing the lead role. Sonu Nigam, has been appreciated for the commendable work that he has been doing since years in the field of playback singing. He was a child actor but his acting skills in some of the movies like ‘Jaani Dushman: Ek Anokhi Kahani’ was not liked by the audience at all.
Lucky Ali, a renowned singer has mesmerized many people with his voice. He also tried to charm his fans with his acting but could not succeed. His music albums were amazing but acting was not much worthy. The first Indian Idol, Abhijeet Sawant has a melodious voice but again, when it comes to acting, he too disappointed his fans in his movie ‘Lottery’. The controversial singer, Mika Singh has always left people enthralled with his songs. But, he was also one of them who did blunders when it comes to acting. I guess a singer should try to get the fame with his songs.
Trying out something new did not work for these singers.Sukhwinder Singh, the lead singer of the song ‘Jai Ho’ from the Oscar winning film ‘Slumdog Millionaire’ is a commendable one. His passion for music can be seen and heard in all his songs, but he also tried to be a part of the family of actors but, he was not able to showcase the level of talent required. The Indian audience, I believe is very lenient. They generally accept new comers really well. But if these singer turned actors were not welcomed with open hearts, there would be some valid reason behind it. All of these are amazing singers and should continue doing what they know best ..singing!
