From being a winner of a music talent hunt show to the winner of 53rd Fair One Filmfare Award 2007 for Best Playback Singer (Female), Shreya Ghoshal has come a long way.
Having picked up two Filmfare awards earlier, the petite singer is ecstatic after bagging the Best Playback Singer award for Barso Re Megha from Guru this time.
Ask her whether she expected the award, and Shreya says, “I never go anywhere with any expectation. I had thought that if I get one, it would be for Yeh Ishq Haye from Jab We Met, as it is a more popular number. I never thought that I would bag the award for Barso Re...but I am very happy that the song has got its due. It is a difficult composition and I had worked hard on it.”
The singer, who got her first award for the love ballad picturised on Aishwarya Bachchan in Devdas, has again bagged the award for a song filmed on Ash. How does she feel about it? “Though I have lent my voice to many actors, I feel people often associate my voice with Ash, because it suits her a lot. I think the audience has fallen in love with this combination,” says Shreya with a giggle.
The singing diva is quite pleased with her career graph, and feels that there is an added dimension to her career now that she is judging a talent hunt show for children. She doesn’t mince her words when she is questioned about the pros and cons of reality shows.
“SMS voting system alone cannot decide the talent of an individual, and often, genuine contestants are voted out. I feel, the format of these shows should be modified a bit to make the role of the judges more significant. But, such shows also give a singer a huge platform to showcase his/her talent and brings instant fame,” says she.
Shreya has another reason to be thrilled. The singer has recently lent her voice to Kajol in U Me Aur Hum and she is excited about this.
“I always wanted to sing for Kajol and Madhuri. Both of them bring life to their characters and I am a big fan of theirs. For Madhuri, I have just sung one verse Chalak Chalak and I want to sing a full-fledged song for her. Bus itna sa khwab hai,” says Shreya
The singer is going great guns on the professional front, but what’s happening on her personal front? “For me, getting into a relationship has to culminate into a marriage. And, at this moment, I am not thinking about marriage, so no relationships for me. It’s only work and I am quite focussed on it,” says she.
