Which Indian actress has/had the best voice?

Not in objective terms, but a voice that really turns you on.

I pay particular attention to the quality and modulation of voice when it comes to acting. You can just listen to a voice and tell all the pain and experience that the personality must have gone through in life.

Not much aware of the recent actresses, but almost all the ones from few decades back, barring Madhuri Dikshit and to a little extent Raveena Tandon, have unappealing, shrill, shrieky, quaky, "fati baans", retarded, infantile, cringey voices.

Rekha's soulful voice reciting Gulzaar saab's poetry is pure honey to ears.

Vidya Balan sure has a seductive and playful voice, though there is some fakery and exaggeration involved there.

I'm really eager to learn of an authentic voice "jis may se mitti ki khushboo aaye".

Vidya ! Her dialogue delivery is amazing !

Ajay Devgn's voice

In recent times, she has the best voice - alluring, playful and seductive.

Though I'm eager to hear more recommendations.

Well, it's news to me that he mimics a female voice.

Meena Kumari.

Excellent choice, but I deliberately did not go down the classical era. Because then almost every actress of that period - like Waheeda Rehman, Nutan, etc. - would have to be considered. It'd be a futile exercise.

Phoney voice, sorry. Though I'd be happy to keep her as a secretary to answer my calls. The kind of voice that one hears in IVR systems, railway and airport announcements, lifts, etc. Cold and sterile.

Lol ok I like her voice. Vidya is good too

Don’t know too much about the older heroines

Juhi Chawla, there's a tinge of chirpiness in her voice
