By Akhila Menon
KS
Chithra,
the
veteran
singer,
is
quite
disappointed
about
Shreya
Ghoshal's
dominance
in
Malayalam
music
industry.
Chithra
stated
that
the
music
directors
are
preferring
Shreya
Ghoshal
over
the
talented
Malayali
singers,
in
a
recent
interview.
She
remarked
that
Malayali
youngsters
are
struggling
to
bag
an
opportunity,
while
highly
celebrated
National
singers
are
given
maximum
opportunities.
Malayalis
will
wholeheartedly
accept
talents
without
inhibitions,
but
things
are
different
in
other
language
industries.
At
the
same
time,
KS
Chithra
also
stated
that
Shreya
Ghoshal
is
doubtlessly
one
of
the
finest
singers
in
the
country
and
one
of
her
favourites.
But,
she
feels
that
more
preference
should
be
given
to
the
budding
Malayali
singers.
When
she
was
asked
about
the
reality
shows,
Chithra
replied
that
such
shows
are
good
platforms
for
the
budding
singers,
to
improve
their
talents.
But,
the
veteran
singer
feels
that
choosing
playback
singing
as
a
career
option
is
risky.
Chithra
remarks
that
there
are
plenty
of
playback
singers
in
the
industry
today
and
this
is
one
of
the
prime
reasons
for
finest
talents
remaining
unnoticed.
She
also
added
that
the
singers
who
have
a
real
passion
for
music
is
very
less
in
number.
The
singer,
who
was
talking
in
the
interview
session
which
was
held
after
the
Government
Onam
Celebrations
in
Trivandrum,
also
revealed
that
she
has
not
been
celebrating
Onam
since
last
few
years.
