Birthday girl Shreya Ghoshal, who shot to fame with her debut Bollywood song Bairi Piya for Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Devdas back in 2002, has delivered several chartbusters in different genres — right from pop to classical — in the past 22 years. As she turns 40 today, we take a look at five of her latest numbers that show her exceptional talent.

Ve Kamleya

The tussle between the heart and the mind while parting ways with a loved one finds an expression in Shreya Ghoshal and Arjit Singh’s duet Ve Kamleya from Karan Johar’s Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani. Composed by Pritam and written by Amitabh Battacharya, the song featuring Alia Bhatt and Ranveer Singh explores the challenges of relationships.

Kashmir

Shreya’s voice in Animal song Kashmir, featuring Ranbir Kapoor and Rashmika Mandanna, leaves you mesmerised even without musical accompaniment. Composed by Mani Ratnam, the song is a lover’s plea to visit the snow-capped mountains and lakes of Kashmir with their partner to rekindle their lost romance.

Bolo Na

Bolo Na from Vidhu Vinod Chopra’s 12th Fail celebrates the brewing romance between Vikrant Massey and Medha Shankr’s characters as they get to know each other better. Composed by Shantanu Moitra, the song penned by Swanand Kirkire is also a nod to true friendship and commitment.

Maine Pi Rakhi Hai

The peppy party number Maine Pi Rakhi Hai — featuring Shraddha Kapoor, Ranbir Kapoor and others in Tu Jhoothi Main Makkaar — sung by Shreya (and Divya Kumar) takes you straight to the dance floor. The song has been composed by Pritam and penned by Amitabh Battacharya.

Vaari Vaari

Featuring Shreya and Sheykhar Ravjiani in the music video, this pop song composed by the latter celebrates love and friendship as the core of a romantic relationship. Written by Avinash Choudhuri, the album track became an instant hit on its release last year.
