You may know her as the voice behind Tujhe Bhula Diya or Aas Paas Hai Khuda. Or most recently, from Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri. But Shruti Pathak is far more than the song that plays when your heart is broken.

On this episode of InControversial, Shruti reflects on a career that spans nearly two decades, beginning in Ahmedabad, moving through a Master’s degree in Psychology, and eventually finding its way into India’s most iconic studios.

She speaks candidly about how Salim Merchant discovered her voice, how certain songs changed the direction of her career, and why resilience matters more than momentum in the music industry.

From discovering music through instinct, to watching algorithms, AI, and virality reshape the art form, Shruti reflects on what it means to choose longevity over noise.

What emerges is not just the story of a singer, but of an artist who continues to evolve with vision, patience, and strength.

If you have ever found comfort in a song when words fell short, this conversation will resonate long after the music fades.
