You inspire me to create music that makes a place in your hearts and that's exactly what I am trying to do right now. You are my source of energy. Love you my dear #SG #TeamShreya #SGFamily #10YearsOfShreyaGhoshalDay," she posted on social media to mark the occasion.

"I am as fluid as one can think of. The kind of music I listen to is quite versatile. I don't limit myself. But I like slightly challenging songs," said Shreya.

Sharing an example, she said: "'Ghar more pardesiya' from 'Kalank' was a tough song to sing. It's a dance song but all the 'harkat' and nuances were there. It also had to sound cinematic. It was a challenging song. I hope these kind of songs happen more. Whether it is classical or not, it should be challenging."
