When Amitabh Bachchan went behind the mic for songs in Silsila (Rang Barse, 1981) and Baghban (Holi Khele and Main Yahan, 2003), Aamir Khan for Ghulam (Aati Kya Khandala, 1998), Shah Rukh Khan for Josh (Apun Bola, 2000) and Salman Khan for Hello Brother (Chandi Ki Daal Par, 1999), there was not much hoo-ha. In fact, it wasn't even a topic of discussion as it's done nowadays when a star acts as well as croons. An actor trying his or her hand at singing has become a trend of sorts, as more and more of them are testing the waters. Unlike in the past, when singers didn't take offence, nowadays, some senior singers and composers aren't comfortable with the idea of actors turning singers.
