When Shreya Ghoshal Reacted To Alia Bhatt’s Version Of Samjhawan: ‘It’s Only To Get Cash Registers…’

Shreya Ghoshal is one of the top singers in the country. She has lent her voice to almost all leading heroines and has mesmerised the audience with her soulful voice for years. As she celebrates her 40th birthday on Tuesday, March 14, an old interview has resurfaced. In the conversation from 2017, Shreya talked about actors singing songs in films and reacted to Alia Bhatt’s version of Samjhawan from Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhaniya.

When Shreya was asked about actors creating their renditions of songs for promotions, she said, “That has happened with me just once, which was Samjhawan from Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania. I understand that people do it for promotion. It doesn’t hamper me. Maybe it’s only to get the cash registers ringing. But when someone thinks of the song, the first names to crop up would be Shreya and Arijit. Like the producer, director and the actors, the audience too is aware of the fact that Alia rendered her vocals for the promotion of the film.”
