Kerala’s own sweet voice and the nightingale of Kerala K S Chithra has come out against Shreya Ghoshal. She is not against Shreya Ghoshal personally but against the music directors who is continuously giving chances and songs to her to sing in Malayalam films. Chithra says that we have many talented singers and that they have to be given a chance as well to sing in films. Today’s situation is that only Shreya Ghoshal is getting good songs and others are just working as mere backup singers if Shreya Ghoshal is not available.

Chithra also says that Malayalees always appreciates and give space to singers from other states and other languages if they are doing well here. But in other places that is not the case. They always give preference to their own singers and our singers only gets the low preference even if we sing better than their own singers. If we do not give chances and preference to our young and talented singers then who will give them an opportunity to show their skill,she continued.

Chithra says Shreya Ghoshal is a very talented singer and one of India’s best now but that does not mean our singers are bad and inferior to her. They have to be given a chance to prove themselves and thereby go forward to become great singers. Chithra is one of the singers who got the maximum number of State and National awards for singing in India and is considered as one of the finest female singers India has ever seen.

She says that the reality music shows are very good for upcoming young singers as it will work as a stage for practice and development for them. They can improve their skill by singing competitively on stage and also get wider exposure and also let the world know how talented they are. But Chithra is not in favour of making playback singing as a career option as there are a lot of singers here and it will not earn you the means to live a life. Chithra also said that for the past few years she hasn’t been celebrating Onam but she also said that it always gives her the memories about her childhood when she celebrated Onam to its fullest.
