Journey
Shreya Ghoshal is an Indian playback singer born in Berhampore (Baharampur), West Bengal. She grew up in a Bengali family that encouraged music from an early age and received formal classical training under Maheshchandra Sharma.
Ghoshal’s professional breakthrough came at the age of sixteen when she won the television singing competition “Sa Re Ga Ma Pa.” Her performance attracted filmmaker Sanjay Leela Bhansali, who selected her to sing for “Devdas” (2002). Songs such as “Bairi Piya,” “Dola Re Dola,” and “Silsila Ye Chaahat Ka” became major successes, and her debut earned both the National Film Award and the Filmfare Award for Best Female Playback Singer.
In 2003, “Jaadu Hai Nasha Hai” from “Jism” further established her as a leading playback voice in Bollywood. Over the following decades, she recorded extensively in Hindi, Bengali, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, Malayalam, Marathi, Gujarati, Punjabi, Assamese, and several other Indian languages. Her repertoire extends beyond film music into classical, ghazal, bhajan, Sufi, thumri, folk, Indian pop, R&B, rock, and electronic styles.
Her catalog includes releases such as “Sirivennala X Mandaara,” “Addham Mundhu,” “Jadu Hai Nasha Hai,” “Ninna Nodalentho (Lofi Mix),” and “Neenendu Nannavanu (Lofi Mix).” She has collaborated with many of India’s leading composers, including A. R. Rahman, Ilaiyaraaja, M. M. Keeravani, Pritam, Shankar–Ehsaan–Loy, Vishal–Shekhar, and Amit Trivedi.
Ghoshal’s achievements are extraordinary. She has won five National Film Awards, seven Filmfare Awards, numerous Filmfare Awards South, multiple Kerala State Film Awards, and two Tamil Nadu State Film Awards. Her sustained success across both Hindi and regional film industries has made her one of the most awarded singers of her generation.
In 2017, she became the first Indian singer to have a wax figure installed at Madame Tussauds Museum, reflecting her international cultural recognition. Beyond music, she has appeared on television as a judge and mentor and has remained active through concerts, recordings, and digital releases well into 2026.
