Tune in: Melody Matters

Shirley Setia is an Indo-Kiwi singer originally from Auckland, New Zealand. Having taken part in a contest by T-Series on a whim, the singer discovered her love for music and started collaborating with YouTubers from across the globe. Now in Mumbai to pursue her Bollywood dreams, the singer has lent her voice to A Gentleman. We take a look at some of his musical favourites:
