Juhi Chawla is a trained classical singer. And Priyanka Chopra has a single, In My City, to her credit. Now, we hear that Alia Bhatt, who recently sang in Highway, has plans to train professionally as a singer. When asked if she planned to sing like other actors, as it is seen as an additional asset for an actor, she said, “I enjoyed bathroom singing till I reached the studio. The first time I realised I wanted to be in entertainment was when I was in kindergarten. Once, during choir practice, the headmistress asked me to come forward and sing. She then asked all the other students to sing like me. I sang and loved the attention I got that day. I wanted to be like that some day. And now that I am acting, singing for real is also on the agenda.”
