Eight years after his singing debut in the acclaimed film Bajirao Mastani, Shreyas Puranik finally found recognition with the romantic ballad Satranga from Animal. In a candid conversation, he shares the struggles and triumphs of his journey through the music industry, highlighting the importance of perseverance and open-mindedness in the face of rejection.
I Couldn’t Enjoy the Success of Bajirao Mastani
Shreyas lent his voice to memorable tracks like Gajanana and Ab Tohe Jaane Na Dungi in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Bajirao Mastani. Despite the film’s monumental success, he admits, "The definition of success is very subjective. For some, it's singing one song, while for others, it's a hundred." He reflects on his experience, stating, "I couldn’t enjoy the overall success of that. But eventually, patience is the key. I kept my patience and kept going."
Satranga: A Long-Awaited Breakthrough
After nearly a decade, Shreyas's persistence paid off with Satranga, which was initially intended for another film. This chart-topping song marks a significant milestone in his career, and he expresses gratitude for the opportunity that finally allowed him to shine.
Embracing Every Opportunity
Throughout his journey, Shreyas emphasizes the importance of staying open to all opportunities. He believes that being selective can hinder growth and that each project, no matter how small, contributes to an artist’s evolution. "Every experience adds to who you are as an artist," he notes.
As Shreyas continues to carve his path in the music industry, his story serves as a testament to the power of patience and the pursuit of passion. With Satranga now a celebrated hit, audiences can look forward to more from this talented singer in the years to come
