I have a phobia of singing: Jay Bhanushali

Jay Bhanushali, who has showcased his talent across different fields like acting, hosting and dance, says he can never think of foraying into the singing arena as he has a "phobia" of singing.

"I can never sing. You can ask me to act, host a show or even dance, but I can't sing. I have a phobia of singing. I don't think I can ever sing in my life," Jay, who will next be seen as the host of "The Voice India Kids", said at the children singing reality show's launch here on Tuesday.

Jay, best known for his roles in films like "Hate Story 2" and "Ek Paheli Leela", will be joined by singer-comedienne Sugandha Mishra as the host of the show, which will feature popular singers Shekhar Ravjiani, Shaan and Neeti Mohan as coaches.

Asked about his hosting partner Sugandha, Jay said: "She has a lot of talent in her. It feels great to share a stage with her. Apart from singing, Sugandha is a great comedian and can mimic many actors."

"The Voice India Kids", which is an Indian version of the internationally acclaimed reality format "The Voice", will be aired on &TV starting from July 23.
