Indian Actresses Who Sang Their Own Songs

In the earlier years of Hindi cinema, it was very usual for actresses to sing their own songs. Actresses like Suraiya, Noor Jehan and Vyjayanthimala were known for their mesmerizing voices as well as their unparallel acting skills. As time passed by, playback singing developed as a stronger option for producers and actresses started focusing only on their acting skills.

However, there have been instances when actresses have taken up singing their own songs. With Alia Bhatt getting all her tunes right in Samjhaawan from her upcoming movie Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhnaia, we have a look at the actresses who crooned the songs picturised on them.
