Few films are female oriented: Shreya

Shreya Ghoshal recently appeared on YouTuber Lilly Singh's podcast Shame Less where she addressed the problems in the music industry in India of which she has been a part for 25 years. Talking about the lack of female presence in music and films, she said, “There are a number of songs that should be female. The ratio is 90:10 — 90 being male voiced songs,10 female. It is that lopsided. Female presence in music or films has always been little secondary. The hero has a bigger importance and role. Very few films are female-oriented where the protagonist is a female, where she has the maximum part, and the storyline is mostly about her,” said Shreya.
