Shreya was first spotted by director Sanjay Leela Bhansali when she participated in a TV show. Bhansali’s mother was watching the show and while Shreya was performing, she called Bhansali to watch her perform. Shortly after that, he gave her a chance to be part of his next film, which was Devdas. And soon, many such opportunities followed.
In no time, she ventured into the Malayalam music industry as well, setting her foot firm here, marking her own way.

Shreya Ghoshal, who has gifted Malayalis so many unforgettable songs, performed live on Saturday as part of the mega event 'Jayaragangal'. It is Shreya and Jayachandran's combination that has given Mollywood many beautiful songs.
While Onmanorama caught up with the much acclaimed singer, Shreya was all excited to be part of the show.
“Jayachandrandji is one person who will always be close to my heart. As a singer I am very fortunate to have been part of a few of his many works,” said Shreya.

She is all praise for singers in Malayalam. "The Malayalam industry has a lot of interesting voices and above everything, the compositions here are always fresh," Shreya says.

For the show, Shreya Ghoshal sang a few popular numbers including Paattil Ee Paattil from the movie Pranayam, Kannondu Chollanu and Kaathirunnu from Ennu Ninte Moideen.
