Right Juggy. He cannot be called Character Actor.

From the same movie will go for "Kasme Waade Pyaar Wafa Sab" by Pran.

Just out of curiosity - the criteria is songs picturized on artists in a character role in a particular film or its those we have labelled 'character artists'.

Its probably as clear as mud so, as an example - kiran kumar is generally labelled a character artist but he was a hero in 'jungle mein mangal' and there was a kishore da song picturized on him - 'tum kitni khoobsurat ho'. Will this song make the cut? And what about Ashok Kumar in 'Aashirwaad' singing 'rail gaadi'?.

The criteria is those who have been labelled as Character artists.

😆 Abhi you are a week late , thats all. Last week's theme was that..actors who shot to fame with some hit songs and got labelled in some categories.

Retro Cafe This Week-Songs that made them

Character artists basically are the supporting actor actresses who are not the leads, but provide able support.

Hmmm, so any song from Dekh Kabira Roya can be included?

Can I mention the only one I thought of that has not already been mentioned (plus I have just realised I do not have it - must have lost it when my PC crashed and not got it back):

Hum kaale hai to kya hua dilwale hai (Mehboob)

Here are some of the more common ones...

lapak jhapak tu aa re badarwa - David
aayo kahan se ghanshyam - Om Prakash
zindagi khwab hai - Motilal
andhe jahan ke andhe raaste - Agha
maine rakha hai mohabbat - Mehmood
hum bolega tou - Pran
bade ache lagte hain - Sachin & (forgot the girl's name in a not so rare case of cranial flatulence)
bheegi bheegi fiza - Shashikala
mera naam hai shabnam - Bindu
o rama darr lage apni umariya se - Asrani
