Back in the good old days of Bollywood, what Kishore Kumar and KL Saigal did on the screen and off it, would catch the imagination of one and all. Such was their spontaneity and ease in front of the camera that it was hard to believe that they were trained playback singers and not actors. However, 20 years down the line, the same can’t be said about the singers, composers and sports persons-turned-actors of today, who tried their luck at acting, only to fall flat on their faces.
Here are 11 Indian celebs who should have stuck to their fields of expertise!
1. Himesh Reshammiya
Music composer/Singer
Himesh Reshammiya’s entire career has been marred by a phenomenon called ‘misconception’. After all those never-ending loops of painful nasal notes, when Himesh finally had enough with his ‘singing skill set’, a much leaner Himesh thought of exploring the actor in him. If ‘Xpose’, ‘Karzzzz’ and ‘Aap Kaa Surroor’ are a benchmark of his new found acting talent, we seriously wish Filmfare gives him a life time achievement award and retires him soon.
