Calling her journey of two decades ‘beautiful’ and ‘significant’, Ghoshal wrote, “This day, 20 years ago, the most beautiful and significant moment of my life happened. I made my debut as a Hindi Film playback singer, with the magnum opus film Devdas. The feeling of joy and nervousness that the 18 year old felt watching her songs on the big screen, is hard to capture in words. Always in gratitude to my mentor #SanjayLeelaBhansali who held my hand and brought me to the world of cinema and music and shaped me in to the artist that I am today. My head bows down to my parents’ feet once again today for they have given their everything and worked so hard to make their daughter what she is today. God has been kind to give me such a beautiful family of fans, friends and colleagues. Grateful.”

The 38-year-old singer was offered the opportunity to be the voice of Paro, the lead female character of Devdas, who was portrayed by Aishwarya Rai. Ghoshal went on to sing five songs in Devdas alongside established singers. The singer also received  a National award for ‘Bairi Piya’ from Devdas.

The singer tied knot with her childhood friend Shiladitya Mukhopadhyaya in 2015 in a private ceremony. The couple welcomed their baby boy Devyaan in May, 2021.

On the work front, Ghoshal will be releasing a new romantic track Baarishein Aayi Hai which will feature the television couple Karan Kundrra and Tejasswi Prakash.
