Shreya gave a tough competition to veteran singer Kavita Krishnamurthy for this song picturised on Madhuri Dixit and Aishwarya Rai. So what are those melodies which make her truly stand out from her contemporaries? Have a look: Dola Re Dola And she continues to rule because Shreya’s hold over classical renditions such as ‘Mohe Rang Do Laal’ is as good as her prowess in singing sensuous numbers such as ‘Chalo Tumko Lekar Chalein’ or playful soft romantic songs such as ‘Ye Ishq Haaye’, ‘Manwa Laage’ that tugged at your heart strings. With her entry in Bollywood, singers of that time such as Alka Yagnik and Sunidhi Chauhan had taken a backseat. She holds the rare achievement of winning the National Award for 2 years consecutively and also has June 26 declared as Shreya Ghoshal Day dedicated in her honour by the State of Ohio. Apart from her mother tongue Bengali, she has sung in other regional languages such as Assamese, Oriya, Malayalam, Telugu, Tamil, Kannada, Punjabi and Nepali as well. Shreya’s musical journey began at the tender age of four when she started getting lessons from her mother.
She reminds many music lovers of yesteryear legends like Lata and Asha but clearly she is an artist in her own right with a distinct voice. That’s Shreya Ghoshal for you! We were first mesmerised by her voice in Sanjay Leela Bhansal’s Devdas and then there was no looking back. The saccharine sweetness of her voice gives way to a playful sound and sometimes that sound hops onto a naughty melody with such a natural flair that a singer of her calibre is loved by everyone.
