Mumbai: Former cricketer and well-known television personality Navjot Singh Sidhu has lauded playback singer Shreya Ghoshal, drawing a parallel between her and the late iconic singer Lata Mangeshkar.
Sidhu recently shared a picture on Instagram, featuring himself alongside Shreya Ghoshal and rapper Badshah, reportedly from the set of ‘The Great Indian Kapil Show’.
In a heartfelt caption, Sidhu expressed his admiration for Shreya’s voice, stating, “Shreya’s voice sweeter than honey enters the heart, There is such magic in the tunes that touches the soul… Whenever I hear them, Guru… I miss Lata Didi.” This comparison highlights Shreya’s profound ability to connect with listeners, reminiscent of Lata Mangeshkar’s timeless appeal.
Shreya Ghoshal, with a career spanning nearly three decades, has become one of India’s most celebrated singers, known for her versatility across multiple languages and musical genres. Her emotive singing has earned her numerous accolades, including National Film Awards and Filmfare Awards. She continues to captivate audiences globally, currently on her ‘Unstoppable Tour’, which is scheduled to return to India for a 14-city run from November 2026 to April 2027.
Her recent track, ‘Bairi Piya’, showcases a blend of contemporary sounds with subtle Indian classical touches, reflecting her artistic range. Shreya has often spoken about the creative freedom independent music offers, allowing her to explore diverse sounds beyond mainstream cinema.
