Bollywood actors are multi-faceted they can sing, dance and a lot of them can write as well. While some write for screen others write for themselves.
Writing unlike acting is a selfless act, it isn’t always the writer who acts out his own stuff, many times, you write for other people. That’s the beauty of the craft that while one writes, they picture someone fit for that role, not just them but someone who they can trust with their character.
