Actor and dancer Nora Fatehi has sung the praises of singer Shreya Ghoshal, describing her as the perfect introduction to Indian music and culture for anyone new to Bollywood. Speaking on an American podcast hosted by singer Ciara, Fatehi, who recently collaborated with Ghoshal on the track Oh Mama! TETEMA, declared that the singer possesses “the most beautiful voice I have ever heard.”
During the podcast, Fatehi discussed her multifaceted career in acting, singing, and belly dancing. When Ciara asked her to recommend a single Bollywood artist for someone unfamiliar with the genre, Fatehi did not hesitate. “If you’re a Bollywood virgin and you’re just trying to figure out what’s up, I would say you listen to Shreya Ghoshal,” she said. “She is an icon. I just sang a song with her where she sings the Hindi part. I promise you, Ciara, you will message me in a few days saying, ‘Wow!’”
Fatehi went on to highlight Ghoshal’s extensive contributions to Bollywood, noting that she has performed some of the most memorable tracks from iconic films while also producing successful singles. “She is like a walking autotune,” Fatehi said. “It’s magnificent the way she sings. Anyone who wants to truly understand Bollywood music and culture, the spirit of Bollywood, should listen to her.”
Her comments underscore Ghoshal’s enduring influence in the world of Indian music and reflect Fatehi’s admiration for her artistry. For newcomers to Bollywood, Fatehi suggests there is no better guide than Ghoshal, whose vocal mastery bridges generations and genres.
