The singer was heard saying, â??Winning this award for â??Saiyaara Repriseâ?? truly means a lot to me. This song has been very special from the moment I first heard the melody, and it was a beautiful experience bringing its emotions to life. Iâ??m grateful to the entire team behind the song and to my fans who continue to shower it with so much love. Their support and encouragement always inspire me to keep singing from the heart.â??

Recently, as the girl group W.i.S.H. delivered a stellar performance with their iconic track â??Bolo Boloâ?? during an episode, Shreya heaped praises on them, comparing them to the popular '90s girl group, Viva.

â??The only thing I want to say is that I truly wish W.i.S.H. the greatest success. When I was growing up, there was a band called Viva, for the first time, the country saw the kind of power girls hold when they come together. They can conquer the world. And today, I see that same spirit in you. You girls are a complete package, from singing and performing to your overall presence. I know youâ??re going to absolutely kill it, and Iâ??m really looking forward to seeing W.i.S.H. go global. You all are amazing," the singer said.
