Shreya Ghosal

There are people who can speak multiple languages fluently, but singing in multiple languages is not that easy.
Only few legends have done that in Indian music industry; S P Balasubramanyam is the king in this art! There are some others as well; Chitra, Sujatha, Chinmayi, Karthik, etc to name a few.

But these people, they are not singing in all the languages that frequently as our protagonist does!
She is such an amazing singer, that she performs in almost 5 different languages in parallel...

If the name is not Shreya Ghosal, It will not be possible.

Her uniqueness is that she sings so properly in the south indian languages, even though she is a North indian! The words with 'zh' sound in malayalam, or the 'la', 'LA', 'zha' difference in tamil, or the very hard scripts of telugu, everything is like walk in the cake for her, These words are very much difficult, as even some south indians can't pronounce it correctly.

But she gets down with the lyricist, get the reading in hindi, translate and understand the meaning of it, and finally, produce it with much easiness, that one would think she is really belong to their native the song she just sang from!

The book she keeps with her in the recording spot, is having all her songs written in hindi, that she is so perfect, If she once sang a song in any particular language, for sure she will perform the song in upcoming stage shows without even looking at the lyrics! Now, that's some enthusiasm! I bet no one ever have shown this kinda enthusiasm towards music...

Added some of her multi lingual songs.
Have a look and say it justifies my point :)
