Alphabetical list of actresses who have lip synced in Asha Bhonsle’s voice- Part XVIII

(Actresses whose name begin with the letter T)

In the first seventeen episodes of the series, we listed actresses whose names begin with the first ninteen letters of the alphabet (A to S) and who had lip synced in Asha Bhonsle’s voice in the blog. There were no actresses with these letters who lip synced in Asha Bhonsle’s voice and so we omittted these letters from our discussion.

In the previous episode, we took up the letter S. That letter S was a blockbuster letter as it threw up 70 plus actresses who had lip synced in Asha Bhonsle’s voice in the blog.

In my journey with this blog I never imagined coming across a situation like this. But then sometimes things are beyond our control.

In this write-up, I am discussing a song from ‘English Babu Desi Mem’ (1996). Though the song structurally belongs to Sufi qawwali genre, it is blended with a very impressive dance performance by a group of dancers. I have already given the story of the film in detail in this article which appeared on the Blog a few days back. So, I give below only the gist of the story to recapitulate the background.
