Shreya's soulful performance in Hyderabad !

The concluding day of Times Hyderabad Festival witnessed a soulful performance by singer Shreya Ghoshal. Every corner of the RRC Grounds was packed with people before Shreya could arrive at the venue.

Once there, she began the concert with 'Kaise Mujhe Tum Mil Gayi' from " Ghajini''. The next song was 'Wada Raha' from "Khakee" which she seemed to have sung especially for the Hyderabad audience. She held the crowd spell bound with her melodious rendition of her hits, 'Jadoo Hai Nasha Hai', 'Bahaara', 'Tujh Mein Rab Diktha Hai', followed by the peepy 'Barso Re' and 'Zoobi Doobi'. But the audience couldn't seem to get enough of the singer. They shouted out requests to her many of which were for 'Aami Je Tomar' from " Bhool Bhulaiya".

The singer also crooned her popular duets accompanied on stage by Shiva Prasad Mallya. Together they belted out 'Teri Ore', 'Tere Mast Mast Do Nain', 'Chori Kiya Re Jiya'. While Shreya took a little break Shiva crooned some racy numbers like 'Dhan Te Nan', 'Bachna Ae Haseeno' which got the audience dancing. Apart from Hindi, Shreya also sang in Tamil and Telugu as well. "Rahman Saab's compositions have a special place in my heart. If I had to choose one song from my career, it would be 'Munbe Vaa'," she said.

After enthralling the audience for about two-and-half hours she ended the concert with 'Salaam-e-Ishq', 'Dola Re' and 'Deewangi Deewangi' which got most of the audience on their feet and asking for more.
