Can a singer/musician become more famous than actors in india?

Famous mean having their separate identity which become popular worldwide, famous not in term of voice of shahrukh khan or voice of salman khan etc , as an artist can they become more famous or equivalent to Bollywood stars . Singers in india always were treated like a vocal instrument and voices for others. Singers who made their mark in independent music in the era of indipop some how got popularity in a much broader way compare to those who have been just limited to playback and considered playback as their only singing carrier because indi pop had the music videos people got to know how this singer looks like . There is nothing called playback singing in any part of the world its just a bollywood funda 😉 Today is the era for singles do you think singles can help singers to create their separate market or they will be dependent on bollywood film music only

Sonu Nigam is 100% right in what he said.
