Chandigarh recently held the colorful "Chandigarh Carnival" on Nov 22 & 23. The festivities in the Chandigarh Carnival attained an incredible climax when the mixed musical melodies by Bollywood playback diva, Shreya Ghoshal, wafted across the panoramic ambience of the Leisure valley here today.
After the chief guest, home secretary UT, Ram Niwas, inaugurated the mega event, Shreya took the centrestage to mesmerise the city music lovers.
Shreya was pretty excited: “Earlier Chandigarh has been a transit for me, but this time is special as I get to entertain city audience.” Talking about her latest projects, Yuvvraaj, Singh is Kinng and soon to come Ghajini, Shreya is happy to be the leading lady of Bollywood playback singing: “I love it. Whenever I have to record a song, I sing with the same zest as if it was my first song. When sung with heart and soul it definitely strikes a chord with the audience. And then Bollywood provides a platform to experiment with various forms of music.”
Talking about reality shows she says: “ Well, I am a small town girl and TV gave me an opportunity to present my talent to the world. But that’s not all, a lot of other efforts have been put in too.” How about being a participant and later a judge on the TV? “I judged a reality show almost a year back and it was fun since it was a kid show. I gelled well with them.”
With Punjabi music making it big in Bollywood, Shreya is happy to have recently recorded a Punjabi number, “Punjabi music has been a part and parcel of hindi cinema. What I really like about it is its rich folklore.
Modest Shreya, despite all the fame considers her the black sheep of the family, “Every one in my family is so academically inclined. To be honest, even if I want to, my schedule will not permit me to pursue further studies. I can only hope to do that after I retire from singing,” signs off the singing queen.
