Are the two singers in this clip just some extras or some
wannabes introduced in this film who never made it big?

I believe the principal singer on screen (who begins the
song) was one Lata Sinha, who acted in a few movies in the
late fifties and sixties. She mostly appeared in song
choruses. People thought her career would blossom after the
release of "Bees Saal Baad" where she played the unfortunate
girl who succumbs to the lust of the old owners/jaagirdaars
of the haveli. The film was based on "The Hound of the
Baskervilles". Hemant Kumar's haunting music and the main
star cast made the film a great hit, but Lata's career didn't
quite come off. Her dark complexion and ordinary looks didn't
help her cause. One can see her in films like "ChaudhviN Ka
ChaaNd" etc.
