Shreya Ghoshal speaks about singers lip-syncing at concerts
In an interaction with Raj Shamani in his podcast, Shreya Ghoshal shared views about lip-syncing and
stated, “That’s just a lazy act. Apne mehanat nahi kari (You haven’t put in the hard work). In my personal opinion, it’s not a good approach. I can’t discredit what the audience likes, but I have certain principles as an artist. I have a problem with any performance of mine being played publicly that I myself wouldn’t even be able to listen to.”
She further said, “For me, that is extremely humiliating and insulting. An artist should feel uncomfortable if a song or live performance of theirs is being played around that has already failed. You’ll always think, Why did I do that? Either you work hard on your craft because you’ve earned that crown or throne or don’t take it lightly thinking you’ve already achieved it. You have to work hard every single day.”
