Is Shreya Ghoshal taking Rs 1.65 crore for a live show? Netizens react and say, 'She is honestly undercharging'

Is Shreya Ghoshal charging Rs 1.65 crore for her live shows? A screenshot circulating on Reddit has sparked widespread discussion, claiming that the singer was paid this amount for her performance at the Telangana Gaddar Film Awards. However, the figure remains speculative, with no official confirmation so far. Interestingly, many of Shreya’s fans believe that if anything, the amount is lower than what she deserves.The viral Reddit post reads, “Shreya Goshal really charges that much for a show?" and includes what is claimed to be her fee for the event. While the authenticity of the screenshot is yet to be established, it has triggered a wave of reactions, with several users arguing that the singer should actually be charging more. One user commented, “I have watched this awards show, she sang all her Telugu hits from the start of her career, and she did absolutely amazing! She deserves this or more." Another wrote, “The producers pay peanuts to playback singers. This is how they actually earn money. So, can’t count this as overcharging."Echoing similar sentiments, a user said, “She is honestly undercharging man… I am saying this because a katha/puran vacchak charges at least 30-40L and even more. I know it’s not a great example, but she has been highly famous and in demand for years." Another added, “I believe Shreya charges way more than 1.6 cr. Maybe it’s some advance payment."Some users also felt the amount wasn’t particularly high. “That isn’t much, honestly," one comment read, while another stated, “Yeah, too little considering she is super successful and talented." Others went further, with one writing, “She should charge more tbh top 5 female singers ever produced in India imo," and another saying, “She’s the number 1 female singer in India right now. Makes sense."Praising her artistry, one user remarked, “She’s one of the most skilled female singers on this planet, why wouldn’t she? Even then, this is a pittance compared to what some lip-syncing and auto-tuning musically mediocre foreign pop stars get paid." Another echoed the sentiment, writing, “That’s way too little for somebody of Shreya’s calibre!"
