Lara, who has often spoken about her Indian roots and her love for Bollywood music, appeared very excited to meet the singer and did not hold back in expressing her admiration. He fondly called Shreya the “Bollywood Queen”.
Sharing a picture with Shreya on her Instagram Stories, Lara wrote, “I got to speak on a beautiful panel today about South Asians in music with Bollywood Queen Shreya Ghoshal. I’m honored.”
