Nora Fatehi Celebrates Shreya Ghoshal on American Podcast

Appearing on an American podcast hosted by Ciara, Nora described Shreya's voice as “the most beautiful” she has ever heard, making her a perfect ambassador of Indian music and culture.
During the podcast, when asked by Ciara to recommend a Bollywood artist for someone who is a 'Bollywood virgin', Nora immediately suggested Shreya Ghoshal.

Nora recently collaborated with Shreya on the song “Oh Mama! TETEMA,” where she expressed her initial fears about singing alongside such a renowned vocalist.

But she is a true vocalist.” This humility showcases Nora's respect for Shreya’s exceptional talent and the artistry that comes with being a professional singer.
Shreya Ghoshal is celebrated as one of the finest vocalists in Indian music history. Her accolades include five National Awards for Best Female Playback Singer and numerous Filmfare Awards across different languages.
