People go through classical training because they feel it gives them total control of their voice and they feel more confident singing bollywood or any other songs. Several bollywood singers have no h/o any classical training and still they have been very successful. It includes names like kishore kumar, Asha Bhowsle, etc. These are god gifted people who have great voices and their songs reaches the soul.

Ultimately it comes to control and soulful singing, if you can do that with or without classical training. Some people may not pursue classical singing and they are motivated to learn singing by practicing old songs by rafi and lata. People have different ways how they practice with their voice.last but not the least you need to have some luck to succeed in bollywood.

That's untrue. And I'm sure you know of 'successful singer[s]' who are not classically trained, so I don't even need to reel off a list of names.

These are very gifted and talented persons who have great music sense. They can easily pick things up and learn pretty quick too. Some could have learnt it in their previous lives too.
Basically the fundamentals have to be there and for some it comes naturally. These days I notice most of the kids have attended some sort of singing lessons or perhaps learnt from family and friends.
But there are a few gifted ones who learnt by listening to radios or watching a Movie.

In modern times it would be very useful to also learn to read music scores and also play some instruments. This way it makes things much easier for the MDs.
Many can tell the tune by just looking at the song sheets. Fortunately I think there are softwares that can help.
