June 26 is Shreya Ghoshal Day


June 26, that is today, is 'Shreya Ghoshal Day'.

June 26 was dedicated by the State of Ohio, USA, to ace Indian singer Shreya as her day during her Summer 2010 US Tour. In the June of 2010, Ohio Governor Ted Strickland issued a proclamation declaring June 26 as Shreya Ghoshal Day; thereby giving a rare honour to Shreya Ghoshal, who not surprisingly, is a major heartthrob  amongst lovers of Indian music acrosss the world.

This rare honour was conferred to recognise Shreya Ghoshal's talent and her contribution to the field of Indian music.  It was Shreya Ghoshal who had, by winning India's first musical reality show, Sa Re Ga Ma, inspired many aspiring & talented young Indian boys and girls to come to the forefront and take music as a profession with a vengeance. Her success through a music reality show paved the way for launch of more such shows on Indian television in the succeeding years; thereby providing easy platforms for the untapped talent to be recognised.
