She will perform at a five-city Australia-New Zealand tour from October 7 to October 16, and then in Ireland on October 29 and The Netherlands on October 30. Additionally, she will also perform in the USA from November 4 to November 19. Shreya’s USA leg of the tour will start in New Jersey, followed by Texas, Washington DC, Oakland, Los Angeles, Orlando and New York.
Talking about celebrating the momentous occasion with her fans, who she believes are her cheerleaders, the 38-year-old shares, “This USA tour is very special for me as I am completing twenty years in Bollywood, and what a beautiful way it is to celebrate my journey with fans! Coincidentally, this is my first tour in the USA after the unfortunate pandemic disruption. I am quite excited to go to there after three long years."
