During one of the episodes she attracted the attention of film director Sanjay Leela Bhansali who roped her in as a playback singer in Devdas. Her song, Dola Re, in particular won much acclaim.
Since then she has gone on to sing for music directors such as Himesh Reshammiya, Anu Malik, AR Rahman and Mano Murthy. Along with songs for Bollywood and regional films, she has also sung for Indian soaps such as Kasturi. Today she ranks along with top female playback singers in Bollywood, among them are Alka Yagnik, Sunidhi Chauhan, Sadhana Sargam and Kavita Krishnamurthy.
In the sphere of Hindi films she has lately lent her voice in Mohabbataan Sachiyaan, Guru, Salaam E Ishq and Ta Ra Rum Pum. As for Bengali cinema, Shreya did a cover of the Rabindra Sangeet Pagla Hawa for the film The Bong Connection (2007). The same year, she also sang playback for Cholechhi Poth, along with Babul Supriyo for the film Bidhatar Lekha.
