Shreya spoke about Alia's Samjhawan

Shreya Ghoshal talked about Alia Bhatt's Samjhawan in 2017.

Shreya was asked if it bothers her that actors sing a song and the publicity of the film depends on it. She had said, "That has happened with me just once, which was Samjhawan from Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania. I understand that people do it for promotion. It doesn’t hamper me. Maybe it’s only to get the cash registers ringing. But when someone thinks of the song, the first names to crop up would be Shreya and Arijit. Like the producer, director and the actors, the audience too is aware of the fact that Alia rendered her vocals for the promotion of the film."
