Lata Mangeshkar's Meera bhajan was so out of the ordinary, a trendsetter. I want to come out with a new concept, break the monotony in music. "I want to establish myself in the industry. "I now have to balance my life to include college and my career." Among her forthcoming films are Vidhu Vinod Chopra's Munna Bhai MBBS, Shiva's Hindi version of the Telugu hit Badri, Viju Shah's Tujhe Mere Kasam and three films with Ismail Durbar - Julie, Thoda Tum Bolo Thoda Hum and Desh Devi. " Devdas has changed my life," she continues.
He advised my father to take a transfer to Mumbai if I wanted a career in music." "When Kalyanji offered to train me, I was still in Kota. Her father, an engineer working at Mumbai's Bhabha Atomic Research Centre, took a transfer from Kota to Mumbai only to further his daughter's interests. Shreya, who first performed at four, says her mother is an amateur classical singer and her a music aficionado. She adds, "Kavita ji and I sang Dola re dola together. This was a great moral boost, coming from such a senior artiste." I remember once, Udit ji told me I that since I had talent and luck, no one could stop me from achieving my goals. What is most memorable for her is the experience of singing with those she had always admired - Udit Narayan, Kavita Subramanium, Jaspinder Narula, K K and Pandit Birju Maharaj. I was nervous initially, but the cast and crew were so good to me. I tried to bring in the Paro's pain, confidence and innocence."Ībout the director, Shreya says, "I never imagined I would work with Sanjay Leela Bhansali. She adds, "When I sang, I imagined myself to be Paro. Aishwarya has a ear for music, so she would join in too." I remember between shots, we would sit together, and Sanjay ji would ask me to sing Lata ji's (Mangeshkar) songs. I was so excited when I realised I would sing for her. She states, "I have always admired Aishwarya. Playbacking for Aishwarya is almost a dream come true for Shreya. "My friends keep teasing me with, Issh ! I do not mind it." The song has done very well on the Indian charts and has made Shreya very popular in her social circle. Then Sanjay ji told me I had sung the song so well that they had recorded it at one go." When I opened my eyes, I noticed a lot of excitement and chaos outside the recording room.
I simply closed my eyes and sang without a break. And the first song she recorded was Bairi piya, "I remember I was asked to rehearse the song once before finally recording it. She remembers her first sitting: March 9, 2000. The film was such a hit, yet Sanjay ji was so polite and humble. I could not believe that the director of Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam was on the line, asking for me. Shreya continues, "Sanjay ji tried to trace me. When Bhansali noticed Shreya on the show, he knew immediately that this was the voice he wanted for Paro. The judges, musical duo Kalyanji-Anandji were so impressed with her that Kalyanji took her under his wing and trained her for a year-and-half. Within days, I was called to audition." She sang her way to the children's finals, where she won. I grabbed the opportunity and mailed my songs in a cassette. Shreya, who arrived in Mumbai five years ago after spending her childhood near Kota in the northwest Indian state of Rajasthan, discloses how she bagged the coveted film: " Sa Re Ga Ma, a popular Indian television show at the time, was on the lookout for talented singers.
The singer, like the rest of the cast and crew, is obsessed with her debut film - she has even set her mobile phone ring to Bairi piya, her song in Devdas. It is not everyday that a filmmaker like Sanjay Leela Bhansali calls you up and offers you a film. Shreya playbacks for Aishwarya Rai (who plays Paro).Įighteen-year-old Shreya considers herself very lucky. What makes Shreya different from the rest of her ilk is the fact that she has bagged the biggest film of the year - Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Devdas, starring Shah Rukh Khan, Madhuri Dixit, Aishwarya Rai and Jackie Shroff.
