Mumbai– National Award-winning singer Shreya Ghoshal has released her latest track, O Kanha Re, ahead of Janmashtami — and the song holds a deeply personal significance, as it features her son, Devyaan, dressed as Krishna.
Shreya revealed that Devyaan’s appearance in the video was an unexpected surprise. Originally, he was not meant to be part of the shoot. However, her husband, Shiladitya Mukhopadhyaya, quietly dressed him in a Krishna costume and brought him onto the set.
Sharing the heartfelt moment on Instagram, Shreya wrote: “I thought I knew every expression on my son’s face until I saw him as little Kanha. Devyaan totally surprised me on the set that day. He was not in the plan for featuring in the video. But his dad changed him into a little Kanha outfit and when he entered the shoot floor, my heart skipped a beat, and my eyes teared up with joy. I felt Shri Krishna’s presence around me that day. My heart will hold that moment forever.”
O Kanha Re features lyrics by Saaveri Verma and music composed by Shreyas Puranik.
Speaking about the track, Shreya said: “I have specially created this one for Radha Krishna on Janmashtami. I wish to offer my tribute, as a Pushpaanjali through my music and voice, placing a musical flower at His feet to feel truly complete. Krishna is God, but he is also a profound philosopher, beautifully embodied by Radha. To me, Krishna is the epitome of love — where love itself becomes devotion, a metaphor that soothes my soul and fills me with new energy every day.”
Announcing the release on social media, she wrote: “To love Krishna is to feel eternity in a single breath. O Kanha Re is out now!! Featuring my little Kanha — Devyaan… Mukhopadhyaya @shiladitya. Please listen, watch, and show your love… Composed by @shreyaspuranikofficial… Written by @thesaaveriverma.” (Source: IANS)
