When Shreya Ghoshal discussed actors who sing for films, she shared her thoughts on Alia Bhatt’s Samjhawan rendition.

Shreya spoke about Alia’s Samjhawan

Shreya was asked if it bothers her that actors sing a song and the publicity of the film depends on it. She had 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.”

Shreya spoke about other female singers

She had also expressed her feelings about female singers sounding like her. “That’s fine as long as we are making good music. I have always given my heartfelt encouragement to new artists. At times, if I hear a song and if I have access to the artiste, I pickup my phone and make it a point to appreciate him/ her. Sunidhi Chauhan and I have done that quite a few times. I am fine with people taking inspiration from me as long as eventually they find their own voice,” she had said.
