But it might surprise you to hear her say she "needs to do more", despite having millions of fans around the world, multiple hit songs and acclaim within Bollywood and beyond.

In an exclusive interview with BBC Asian Network, she says she feels a sense of responsibility to the next generation of singers.

Shreya's also followed in the path of another - Lata Mangeshkar, one of India's most beloved singers, who died in 2022.

Since then, Shreya's been touted as the one to take on the mantle of the legendary performer, whose extraordinary career spanned more than half a century.
