ssk, many of the people you are talking to over here have been following Anwesha earnestly since CU, and watching every video that is posted on her in youtube. A statement like this only reflects a sentiment of an ardent fan. There is no need to read so much into it, especially since the person who made this statement is not even participating in this discussion. Each person is just stating his/her opinion. No-one here is an astrologer, so no-one can predict what will happen in the future. Like roobaroo rightly said, many talented singers have got lost in the crowd and could never reach the peak of success.
A lot depends on fate. Shreya and Sunidhi came at a time when Lataji and Ashaji's careers were just sunsetting. They had to compete mainly only with Alka Yagnik. Bollywood was looking for fresh young voices and they both fit the bill perfectly. So yes, Anwesha has a much bigger challenge ahead of her as it would be extremely difficult for her to compete with them, especially since her voice and style of singing is similar to Shreya's. But I don't think that she has any less potential than them. If Anwesha was born earlier and came into the industry at the time Shreya did, it would have been more advantageous to her. And if Shreya was younger and came at a time that Anwesha did, she would have faced bigger challenges. So ultimately it is all a game of luck, fate and chances even if there is talent.
Good Post. I agree with most of it.
