Sona Mohapatra slams top Bollywood actors for bad lip-sync
The singer claimed that Jacqueline Fernandez did not open her mouth to sing some of the words in a song. Sona told the media portal that in a qawwali that she had sung for Jacqueline, the actor closed her mouth shut after certain words for which she should have opened her mouth. Sona said that lip-syncing is also an art that has to be worked on.
The singer further told the portal that the older generation of actors used to make an effort to look convincing on the silver screen. The older generation actors used to learn the lyrics by heart. Therefore when they used to perform, their throats would show a certain strain when they used to lip-sync. They used to look like they are singing the songs.
Sona Mohapatra went on and said the same for Bhumi Pednekar and Taapsee Pannu. The singer said that the two did not do a convincing job either. The song which she was referring to was from the film Saand Ki Aankh.
Sona Mohapatra told the media portal that she wanted to ask Taapsee and Bhumi whether they heard the song once before they did a lip-sync. Sona further said that she could see no effort made by the two to lip-sync the song in a way that it looks believable that they are singing it.
