Shreya Ghoshal said this on ‘Chikni Chameli’

What is the news?

Shreya Ghoshal has given a big statement regarding the song ‘Chikni Chameli’ from Hrithik Roshan’s film ‘Agneepath’. She clarified that she is not shy about singing, but now she has become more cautious about her songs. Shreya told that after the hit of ‘Chikni Chameli’, she got offers for many such songs, but she absolutely refused to sing such songs in which women are shown as ‘objects’.

Shreya Ghoshal made this disclosure

Raj Shamani’s podcast In 2007, Shreya revealed that a musician friend had offered her a song that had overtly ‘object’-like lyrics, such as “turn me into a chicken and eat me” or “hold me like this”. The singer refused to sing these songs because just thinking about those words made her feel ashamed. She told that earlier she could not fully understand the meaning of some lines of the songs.

Singing in front of children causes discomfort

Shreya told that now she is more careful while recording songs. This is because if a song becomes a hit, they have to sing it everywhere, sometimes even in front of children, which makes them feel uncomfortable. Let us tell you, during a conversation with Lilly Singh in 2025, the singer had admitted that she had sung some bold songs, including ‘Chikni Chameli’, which she would not sing today.
