Ayushmann Khurrana is as much an evocative singer as a versatile actor. His Punjabi track ‘Pani Da Rang’ from his debut film ‘Vicky Donor’ became widely loved. Khurrana’s father used to play the flute, and his musical prowess was perhaps shaped by this. The actor has songs like ‘Naina Da Kya Kasoor’, ‘Mere Liye Tum Kaafi Ho’, ‘Nain Naa Jodeen’ to his credit and even performed his discography live in Dehradun earlier this year (Instagram)

Actor-filmmaker Farhan Akhtar started his musical journey with Rock On and there has been no looking back. Fans love to hear him live

Shruti Haasan is a talented singer and actress – she has sung various songs in the Tamil, Kannada, Telugu and Hindi industry. Haasan made her singing debut in the Hindi language film Chachi 420. Haasan is also the vocalist of an alternative rock band, The Extramentals. 

Parineeti Chopra is a trained Hindustani classical singer. She made her singing debut in ‘Maana Ke Hum Yaar Nahin’ in ‘Meri Pyaari Bindu’ which received immense appreciation. She has sung tracks like Teri Mitti and Matlabi Yariyan. Recently, her version of Abida Jhoom went viral on social media.

Like her cousin Parineeti, Priyanka Chopra is also musically talented and demonstrated her vocal abilities from her debut film, ‘Thamizhan’. She sang the title track of ‘Dil Dhadakne Do’ alongwith co-star Farhan Akhtar. She also released two international singles, ‘In My City’ and ‘Exotic’ (Instagram)
