Alphabetical list of actresses who have lip synced in Asha Bhonsle’s voice- Part III
(Actresses whose name begin with the letter C)
In the first episode of this series, we gave a list of actresses whose name began with A and who had lip synced in Asha Bhonsle’s voice in the posts of the blog. That post covered a song picturised on an actress whose name started with the letter A who had not lip synced in Asha Bhonsle’s voice in the blog till that time.
In the second episode, I gave a list of actresses whose name begins with B and who had already had songs in the blog that were sung by Asha Bhonsle and were picturised on them. Then I covered an Asha Bhonsle song picturised on an actress who did not have an Asha Bhonsle song picturised on her in the blog.
Now in the third episode of this series, we take up actresses whose name begins with C.
I realised that there are very few actresses whose name begins with C and who have lip synced in the voice of Asha Bhonsle in the blog. None of them were big name lead actresses. Here are those actresses:-
| Name of Actress | Asha Bhonsle Song lip synced by the actress | Name of movie (year) | Remarks |
|---|---|---|---|
| Actresses whose name begins with “C” | |||
| Chaand Usmaani | Kis naam se pukaaroon kyaa naam hai tumhaara (Baaraati) | Baaraarti (1954) | $ Asha Bhonsle songs featuring Chaand Usmaani are available in the blog |
| Cuckkoo | Sun jaa pukaar (Phagun) (1958) | Phaagun (1958) | 8 Asha Bhonsle song lip synced by Cuckkoo are avilable in the blog |
| Chitra | Aayi deewaali aayi kaise ujaale laayi (Khazaanchi) | Khazaanchi (1958) | 11 Asha Bhonsle songs featuring Chitra are available in the blog |
| Chaand Burque | Taaron ko dil ki baat sunaayee (Boot Polish) | Boot Polishi (1953) | This is the only Asha Bhonsle song featuring Chaand Burque available in the blog |
| Chanchal | Babu aana sunte jaana (Jhumroo) | Jhumru (1961) | 8 Asha Bhonsle songs featuring Chanchal (sister of Madhubala) are available in the blog |
One can notice that there are very few actresses whose names begin with C. One can guess that C is not a preferred letter of the Alphabet to name females in India.
When it was time to locate another actress (apart from the above five) whose name begins with C and who has lip synced in Asha Bhonsle’s voice, I was all at sea. Thankfully, Pamir Harvey, who had taken a big liking for this series came to my rescue. He suggested the name of Chandrakala. Now who is Chandrakala ? She is a Telugu movie actress of 1970s and one of her hit movie was dubbed into Hindi as “Return of Johny”(1972). He suggested a Rafi Asha Bhonsle duet of this movie which is picturised on Sohan Babu and Chandrakala.
Incidentally, one song of “Return of Johny”(1972) is already showcased in the blog. That song was sung by Asha Bhonsle. So this song could well have been picturised on Chandrakala and that renders Chandrakala ineligible for this post. But the video of that song is not available, and that gives Chandrakala a lifeline and she just survives from becoming ineligible to figure in this post . 🙂
“Return of Johny”(1972) was a dubbed version of Telugu hit movie “Killadi Bullodu”(1972). It was directed by N Ramnesh for Mukesh enterprises, Madras and released by Chitrakala films. The movie had Chandrakala, Shobhan, Jyotilakshmi, Raja, Nagmani etc in it.
“Return of Johny”(1972) had six songs in it. All six songs had the voice of Asha Bhonsle in them. Four of the songs of solo songs of Asha Bhonsle whereas the remaining two songs were Rafi-Asha Bhonsle duets. Only audio of most songs are available. Video is available for only one of the songs (as of now) and that is the song that is being covered in this post.
So here is this song sung by Asha Bhonsle which is lip synced by Chandrakala. Rafi is the other singer and he sings for Sohan Babu. S R Saaz is the lyricist. Music is composed by N Datta.
With this song, the letter C is done and dusted. The next letter of the alphabet is now D. This letter too has very few actresses. But I have managed to locate an actress eligible to figure in the next episode of this series.
For now, here is this song from “Return of Johny”(1972). S R Saaz is the lyricist. Music is composed by N Datta.
Song-Oh my lovely darling (Return of Johny)(1972) Singers-Rafi, Asha Bhonsle, Lyricist-S RSaaz, MD-N Datta

I have been looking very much forward to the C-supplement of the series. As the days passed, I hoped that you had found another actress with actress, whose name begins with C.
The next alphabet which comes and has a dearth of female names in India is E. I could come up with only Esha Deol and I couldn’t find any songs sung by Asha Bhosle for her. But right now I am very curious and looking forward to your post which actresses you come up for D.
