Shreya Ghoshal Quotes
“A studio is like a meditation room where music is created. And a live performance is the place where the creation of the studio is taken ahead. I love both.” ~ Shreya Ghoshal
“Music reality shows provide a platform to people who have talent and gives them visibility and exposure. It is a win-win situation for participants.” ~ Shreya Ghoshal
“I learnt to sing in Bengali, my mother tongue, then went on to sing in Hindi, Telugu, Tamil, Gujarati and every possible Indian language.” ~ Shreya Ghoshal
“An award means a lot to me. It brings happiness along with a kind of fear. It brings fear because the award is the responsibility which audiences have put on us. So a singer winning an award should always try to give best of him to the audiences.” ~ Shreya Ghoshal
“Since I stayed in a colony where either one was an engineer or a scientist, everybody thought I would be a scientist. This was the expectation everybody had apart from my parents. Honestly, I, too, wanted to be a scientist. I think it was the way Dad would explain us scientific theories and concepts that made the subject more intriguing.” ~ Shreya Ghoshal
