Chicago IL: Sahil and L.A. Tan Chicago presented Shreya Ghoshal Live in Concert on September, 14 2012 at 

Akoo Theatre (Rosemont), 5400 N. River Road, Des Plaines IL 60018. By public demand Shreya sang some 

old Golden Melodies in addition to her own newer hit songs. Shri Balaji Entertainment is the national promoter 

of Shreya Ghoshal tour in North America. 

The program started with entry of Iqubal Jafri as MC and few performances of local artists were presented 

starting with songs from Ms. Dasgupta, followed by a song by the ZeeTV Zing First prize winner Natasha 

Trikha, a dance by Komal Sharma and a young dancer Nisha. All these warmed up the audience who were 

eager to hear Shreya. 

Amidst screaming proclamations of love from fans with rhythmic claps and audible hums, Shreya unfolded her 

repertoire of soothing love songs, delectable duets with up and coming singer Prithvi (who often drew attention 

with his deep, powerful vocals) and vigorous danceable numbers. In addition Iqbal Jeffery played the role of 

MC as well as sang a few songs with his spirited voice. So there was ‘ ‘Tujh mein rab dikhta hai’, ‘Teri ore, teri 

ore’, ‘Naino ko dheere dheere’, ‘Tere mast mast do nain’, ‘Piya bole’, ‘Mashaallah’, ‘Ooh la la’ and ‘Chikni 

chameli’. She flitted through contrasting expressions and styles even travelling back in time to render the 

hauntingly melodic ‘Lag ja gale’. 

With a twinkling smile and relaxed demeanor she took up listeners’ requests that reverberated through the 

packed hall. She sang number of songs requested by the audience and tried to satisfy all her loving fans. 

‘Bairi Piya’ from Devdas that heralded her entry into playback singing was served by Shreya as a rich dessert to 

wind up a hearty meal spiced well with sur and taal.

Her candor was appreciated with a thundering applause. And Shreya said, “Such a discerning audience! 

Nothing like singing in this city. I wish I could perform here often.” The singer maintained the conversational 

space more with her musical sensibility and less with drama. Though most songs came imbued with additional 

feeling and dynamic turn of phrases, the embellishments were not in-your-face and remained true to the essence 

of the original. Her unabashed virtuosity balanced beautifully with her nuanced singing and graceful moves. 

The orchestra gathered around Shreya to play an effective supporting role while she herself drew upon all of her 

stamina and technique to deliver a mercurial ‘no break’ two-and-a-half hour concert. Light Effects and Sound 

system were very well synchronized. 

Before ending the program Shreya thanked the entire team of organizers calling Balaji Entertainment 

dignitaries, who called other dignitaries whose tireless work made this show successful.

She wishes to take her musical talent much beyond the film music and expand her horizon in other genre of 

music in particular Hindustani Classical Music. In the Filmfare South Awards 2012, Shreya Ghoshal won not 

one, not two, but three awards!! For ‘Best Playback Singer – Female ‘in 3 languages – Telugu, Kannada and

Suresh Bodiwala Chairman of Asian Media had an opportunity to conduct interview regarding perspective of 

the "Shreya Ghoshal’s show "with Singer Natasha Trikha where she said that "I am inspired by Shreya 

Ghoshal’s style of singing and I am a huge fan of her. The most emotional moment was when I met Shreya after 

the performance. Shreya said” Was it you? I heard the entire song…you were great. May God bless you.” These

kind and encouraging words, from the best singer in Bollywood today, will stay with her for many years to 

come. I thinks that music makes her creative and helps her to focus in all aspects of life. Music requires practice 

(Riaz) and I am currently struggling to strike a balance between Studies and Music".
