In an exclusive interview with BollywoodLife, the Ektara singer shared her opinion on actresses turning singers...

The recent trend in the industry has seen actresses croon for their films and fans love to see their stars take to the mike. Shraddha Kapoors Galliyan from Ek Villain and Alia Bhatt's Samjhawan from Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhaniya are examples enough to prove that. While fans simply go gaga over stars flaunting their singing skill, singers are not very happy with actresses doing their job.

In a recent interview with BollywoodLife, singer Kavita Seth of Tum hi ho bandhu fame, when asked what she thought of actresses like Shraddha and Alia who have taken up singing for their films, Kavita told us that she'd much rather actresses stuck to doing their own work. She said, "If the melody is good and the actress can sing, it is okay once in a while; makes for a good publicity stunt. But I think they should stick to what they do best... act."

This is pure insecurity, if they can sing well enough to please fans, what's harm in it. You can't ask anyone to stop doing that thing coz it will effect your earning?

even though she sounds insecure... i still agree with her. its unfair to all those singers out there who spend years learning the basics of music , all they're waiting for is just one chance. On the other hand these mediocre chicks are getting everything served on silver platter.

Sonu Nigam, Mika, Himesh & now Shekhar (music dir) is trying hands in films as Actor, when these singers can try for acting, how come a singer asking an actress not to sing?

they all have/had an established singing career and lets not forget the fact that whatever they achieved today is because they worked hard for it and spend years struggling before that too. however alia and shraddha are bollywood's laadli's. first they got movies on platter and now the singing career.

I have no issues with priyanka trying her luck in singing (even though she suck). Because she's not asking around for director/producers to let her sing a song in their movie...She released an album on her own.
