Shreya Ghoshal

Recognitions

Shreya Ghoshal has continued to strengthen her position as a leading Indian singer in 2025 and 2026.

One of her most prominent recent successes is connected with ** Saiyaara **. Her work associated with the film earned fresh recognition, including the Best Playback Singer – Female honour for the Saiyaara title track at the Pinkvilla Screen & Style Icons Awards 2026.

Her recent career has also included major cultural and public performances. In 2025, she was among the featured performers at the opening ceremony of the ICC Women's Cricket World Cup. She performed the national anthem at the Guwahati event before the India-Sri Lanka match, and the performance received widespread appreciation online.

Another notable recent musical moment came with her tribute to legendary singer Lata Mangeshkar. At the "Letters to Lata Didi" concert in Mumbai, Shreya performed more than 50 songs as a musical tribute to Lata Mangeshkar. The concert deliberately focused on the music rather than elaborate stage effects, allowing Shreya's voice and the legacy of Lata Mangeshkar to remain at the centre of the evening.

These recent appearances show that Shreya's career is not simply built on her historic Bollywood hits; she continues to take on prestigious musical projects and large-scale performances.
