Shreya Ghoshal shares what struck her about 'Kalyani Remix'
Mumbai, July 2
Singer Shreya Ghoshal has shared her thoughts on the newly released 'Kalyani Remix,' reflecting on what immediately stood out to her about the track.
In an exclusive quote shared with IANS, she praised the song for its emotional sincerity and beautiful melody. Speaking about the song, Shreya shared, "It's always exciting to discover a song that has organically found such a deep connection with listeners. What struck me about 'Kalyani' was the sincerity of its emotion and the beauty of its melody."
"The song already had a strong identity and a devoted audience, so my intention was not to change that, but to contribute a new perspective to its story. I loved the idea of bringing a Hindi voice into a song that had already transcended language barriers, and I hope listeners enjoy this new chapter as much as we enjoyed creating it."
After the huge success of 'Kalyani,' ARJN, KDS, RONN, and FIFTY4 have returned with a fresh, reimagined version of the track. Shreya Ghoshal has lent her voice to the newly reimagined version of the track 'Kalyani.'
Talking about the song, ARJN added, "The response to Kalyani has been beyond anything we imagined. It started as a song that was deeply personal to us and our culture, but watching it travel across regions and resonate with North Indian audiences has been incredible. When the opportunity to collaborate with Shreya Ghoshal came along, it felt like the perfect way to bring the song to a wider audience while staying true to its essence. Her voice brings a completely new emotion to the record while preserving everything people loved about the original."
KDS shared, "Kalyani has always been a song about emotion first and language second. That's why it resonated the way it did. Bringing Shreya Ghoshal onto the remix felt like a natural next step because she has a unique ability to make songs feel timeless and universally relatable.
FIFTY4 mentioned, "When we first made Kalyani, we were simply creating something that felt honest to us. The fact that it travelled so far and connected with people beyond Kerala was a reminder that genuine emotion always finds its audience."
"Having Shreya Ghoshal on the remix takes that journey to another level. She was the perfect fit for Kalyani because she has a rare ability to connect with listeners across languages, and she is equally loved by Malayalam and Hindi audiences. She brings a grace and timelessness to the song that makes it feel both familiar and completely new at the same time."

As a Malayali, I was a bit skeptical when I heard about a remix. But if anyone can do justice to 'Kalyani,' it's Shreya. Her ability to convey emotion is unmatched. The original hit me hard—hope she keeps the core intact.
This is such a beautiful example of Indian music transcending borders! From Kerala to the rest of India—Shreya's voice is like a bridge. I just hope the remix doesn't lose the raw, earthy vibe of the original. Fingers crossed! 🤞
Honestly, I'm not a big fan of remixes—they often spoil the original magic. But Shreya Ghoshal is a class apart. If anyone can add value without ruining it, it's her. Fingers crossed the producers kept the melody first.
Great to see regional music getting the recognition it deserves! Shreya Ghoshal bringing her magic to 'Kalyani' is a win for all of India. The original was a tearjerker—I'm sure this version will be just as heartfelt.
There's something special about how music connects us across languages. 'Kalyani' already did that, and now Shreya's voice will take it even further. I just hope the production doesn't go overboard with auto-tune—keep it simple and soulful! 🎤❤️
