Shreya Ghoshal performs in Mysore






The princess of playback singing, Shreya Ghoshal, performed to a 10000+ strong crowd at the Maharaja’s College Grounds in Mysore. The event was a part of the celebration of the Yuva Dusherra . Mysore, as we all know is famous universally for its Dusherra.

The Yuva Dusherra(known as Dasara locally) was inaugurated by Kannada actor Ramya, following which the large crowd at the Maharaja’s College Grounds was treated to an ensemble of music, folk and dance.
The star of the night was the three-time national award winner and playback singer Shreya Ghoshal who rocked the crowd with her powerful & mellifluous voice. Backed by a group of professional musicians, her troupe had the crowd asking for more. It was raining as Shreya took on the show but the youth enjoyed to it all! At one stage, the crowd started chanting "Shreya Ghoshal, Shreya, Shreya..." The crowd was excited as Shreya Ghoshal, appeared on the stage. Wishing the crowd in Kannada, Shreya made a short speech saying that she had come to Dushera last year and it was memorable experience. "This crowd is very big. I am afraid whether I can sing," she said adding that she would make an effort.
Later Shreya began by singing "Oh, piya" from 'Devadas' followed by "Wada Raha Pyar Se Pyar Ka Ab Na Honge Juda..." which enthralled the crowd. Shreya's songs, "Agar Tum Mil Jao" and "Rab Ne Banaya Di Jodi" seemed to touch the hearts of the gathered youth as they all went groovy and blue.
Shreya continued with Hindi film songs one after another under colourful lights. When the youthful crowd demanded Kannada songs, Shreya sang "Aralutiru Jeevada Geleya, Baadadiru Snehada Hoove" from 'Mungaru Male'. The entire Maharaja's College grounds erupted in elation and the youth among the crowd danced at will as Shreya began singing "Ninna Nodalenthu, Mathanadalenthu, Yeno Onthara."
Shreya ruled the stage for over two hours and by then, the rains too stopped
