Shreya Ghoshal re-recorded Aashiqui 2 song to suit Shraddha Kapoor’s character
Shreya Ghoshal re-recorded “Sun Raha Hai Na Tu” for the 2013 film Aashiqui 2.
The song was composed by Ankit Tiwari and written by Sandeep Nath, and Shraddha Kapoor’s character sings it in a club.
The character is a beginner, not yet a professional singer, and her performance helps her get noticed.
Ghoshal said her first recording used her usual decorative style.
After director Mohit Suri and producer Mukesh Bhatt asked her to match the character’s early stage, she sang it again with mostly plain notes.
She kept ornamentation in only two places, then added her own interpretation when performing the song at concerts.
The change shows how a film character’s story can shape a playback singer’s performance.
Shreya Ghoshal said she re-recorded Sun Raha Hai Na Tu for Aashiqui 2 to better match Shraddha Kapoor’s character.
Kapoor’s character is a new singer who performs in a club before becoming more famous.
Ghoshal first recorded the song in her more decorative style, then sang it again using mostly plain notes.
She recalled the experience in a new chat for Billboard India.
The song was composed by Ankit Tiwari and written by Sandeep Nath.

What people are saying
she is just singing in a club, where she gets noticed. She is yet to become the singer, so keeping it simple was very essential.
I re-sang it with absolute plain notes. Only two places I did some ornamentation. Everything else is very plain.
