It is Shreya Ghoshal Will he charge 1.65 crores for his live performances? A screenshot circulating on Reddit has sparked a massive debate, claiming that the singer was paid this amount at the Telangana Gaddar Film Awards. However, the figure remains speculative, with no official confirmation so far. Interestingly, many of Shreya’s fans feel that, if anything, the amount is less than it deserves.The viral Reddit post reads, “Shreya Goshal charges so much for a show?” and includes what he said is his fee for the event. While the authenticity of the screenshot has yet to be established, it has sparked a wave of backlash, with several users arguing that the singer should really be getting paid more.A user commented, “I’ve seen this Sari-sari, she sang all her Telugu hits from the beginning of her career, and she did absolutely amazing! She deserves this or more.” Another wrote: “Producers pay peanuts to playback singers. That’s how they really make money. So they can’t count this as overcharging.”Echoing similar sentiments, a user said, “Honestly the man is charging… I say this because a katha/puran vaccha charges atleast 30-40L and even more. I know it’s not a great example but it’s very famous and in demand over the years.” Another added, “I think Shreya is charging more than 1.6 cr. Maybe it’s an advance payment.”Some users also believe that the amount was not particularly high. “That’s not a lot, actually,” read one comment, while another said: “Yeah, too little considering she’s so successful and talented.” Others went further, writing, “She should be billed as the top 5 female singers ever produced in India,” while another said, “She’s the number one female singer in India right now. It makes sense.”Praising her artistry, one user noted: “She’s one of the most talented female singers on the planet, why not? Even then, this is compared to what some foreign pop stars are paid for musically poor lip-syncing and auto-tuning.” Another echoed the sentiment, writing, “That’s too little for someone of Shreya’s caliber!”
