Popular Bollywood singer Shreya Ghoshal is loved by millions for her melodious voice. Over the years, she has sung many hit songs that are still popular among music lovers. However, behind this successful career, there is a side of the industry that many people do not know about.
In a recent podcast interview, Shreya Ghoshal spoke openly about the Bollywood music industry and revealed some surprising details. She said there was a time when singers were not always treated fairly in the industry.
At the same time, news about Arijit Singh reportedly stepping back from playback singing has also made many fans emotional. Singers like Arijit Singh, Shreya Ghoshal, Sonu Nigam and Shaan are among the most loved voices in Bollywood, and fans have always shown them great support.
2013 was a difficult time for singers
During the podcast, Shreya was asked why she once described 2013 as a “downfall year” in her career. She explained that the year was challenging for many singers because they had started raising their voices for royalty rights.
According to her, the issue divided the Bollywood music industry into two groups. At that time, there was no proper rulebook in the industry, which made things difficult for singers.
Shreya said that singers often did not receive proper agreements, and sometimes they were not even paid fairly for their work. One of the most shocking things, she added, was that singers were sometimes not given proper credit for songs they had recorded.
In her words, singers had very little control or ownership over the songs they helped make popular with their voices. For many artists, this situation was extremely frustrating.
Singers and composers faced many challenges
Shreya further explained that singers, performers, and composers had to deal with a lot of pressure during that period.
She said she respects artists who managed to build their own identity without the support of big film projects. According to her, whether a singer is highly skilled or average, creating a place in the industry on one’s own is a big achievement.
Shreya also pointed out that many talented singers and musicians struggled during those years. Industry politics and the existing system affected several careers.
Changes started after 2013
According to Shreya, 2013 eventually became a turning point. When singers began standing together for their rights, the industry slowly started to change.
She said it also became clear at that time which filmmakers and artists were supportive of singers and which were not. Gradually, awareness about singers’ rights increased, and the situation began to improve.
Some projects during that period also tried to support singers and bring positive changes to the music industry.
Fans react on social media
After Shreya Ghoshal’s statement, many fans started discussing the issue on social media. Several users praised her honesty and said that singers deserve proper credit for their work.
At the same time, some fans also shared emotional reactions to the recent updates related to Arijit Singh. Many people believe that voices like Shreya and Arijit are the true soul of Bollywood music.
Shreya Ghoshal’s inspiring career
Talking about her career, Shreya Ghoshal entered Bollywood at a very young age. She made her playback singing debut in the film Devdas directed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali.
At just 16 years old, she sang the song Bairi Piya, which became extremely popular and even earned her a National Award.
After that, she delivered several hit songs such as Dola Re Dola, Silsila Ye Chahat Ka, Teri Meri, Barso Re, Manwa Laage and Chikni Chameli.
Even today, Shreya Ghoshal continues to rule the hearts of Bollywood music fans, and listeners always look forward to her new songs.
