India’s most iconic singing reality show, Indian Idol, returns to Sony Entertainment Television with a brand-new season. This time, the stage resonates with nostalgia as the show introduces its soulful theme, Yaadon Ki Playlist—a heartfelt celebration of the unforgettable melodies of the 90s. While the show has witnessed several emotional moments, one particularly touching instance occurred when Shreya Ghoshal opened up about a time she lost her voice. During a Yaadon Ki Playlist episode of Indian Idol, contestant Jyotimayee revealed that she had lost her voice just before her performance. This emotional revelation prompted Shreya to share her own experience of losing her voice right before a sold-out concert in New York. When Jyotimayee struggled with her voice before performing, Shreya encouraged her to take her time, practice, and perform only when she felt ready. Sharing a similar moment from her life, Shreya revealed, “This happened to me once during a concert in New York. I lost my voice just before the show; it was a sold-out concert. But my team supported me, and I still went on to perform for three hours.” Shreya Ghoshal’s Musical Career Shreya Ghoshal shows no signs of slowing down in her illustrious career. She began her musical journey at the age of four and went on to participate in the popular singing competition Zee Sa Re Ga Ma Pa at 18. Her breakthrough came when renowned director Sanjay Leela Bhansali noticed her talent. Today, she is celebrated as one of Bollywood’s most popular voices, lending her melodious vocals to numerous hit songs across the industry. Shreya is currently seen as a judge alongside Badshah and Vishal Dadlani. When Vishal Dadlani Bid Goodbye to Indian Idol In April this year, Vishal Dadlani shared a post on social media that read, “Alvida, yaaro. 6 seasons mein jitna mazaa kiya, uss se bhi zyada yaad aayegi. I hope the show will miss me as much as I’ll miss it. I’m literally only leaving because I want my time back. Can’t stay stuck in Mumbai for 6 months each year!” About Indian Idol Promising to blend today’s talent with songs of yesteryears, this season is set to be a musical celebration of Indian music—filled with emotions, memories, and extraordinary talent.
