I did remember of MS, SPB and Kamal while making the list.. Also Daisy Irani has sung in movies.. I guess even Nutan has sung few lines.. But dont remember the song..

Nutan was actually a very good singer and had taken formal singing lessons for many years, she decided to concentrate on acting and gave up singing, but could have made it in the music field also if she had tried.
You can see that in the film Seema where she lip syncs to the Lata classic "mana mohana bade jhoote" her lip movements are perfect, just as if she herself were singing the song.
In the 1960 film Chhabili (1960), Nutan sang 'Aye Mere Humsafar'

Thats not a big role.. 😆 Bappida just makes an entry during filmfare awards and sings a song for OK (SRK) 😆 And Vishal acts as a director of a movie for which SRK is the hero.. It was too funny though 😆

Shekhar has done a small role in Home Delivery!
