The very talented Shankar Mahadevan is all kicked to judge the new season of Zee TV’s <em>Sa Re Ga Ma Pa</em> (produced by Esselvision). He is also looking forward to this year’s franchise of the singing reality show as it is different from the previous ones in many ways. The other judges include Sajid-Wajid and Indian Ocean band member, Rahul Ram.

Reality shows have spread across the television sphere, be it on national or regional shows. Zee Marathi’s singing reality show <em>Sa Re Ga Ma Pa</em> has been hogging all the limelight lately and it will see its grand finale 6 May, 2012. Guess what? We have the name of the winner of this prestigious singing contest. Out of the actors who held the mike, the ones that made it to the finale are Amruta Subhash, Ajay Purkar, Ketki Thatte, Vaibhav Mangle and Prashant Damle.

<a href=http://www.tellychakkar.com/news/shaan-will-no-longer-host-star-voice-india-chote-ustad>Gajendra Singh</a> who has made a mark as a producer of music reality, talent hunts and formats such as <a href=http://www.tellychakkar.com/news/antakshari-ke-chor-machaye-shor>Antakshari</a> and <a href=http://www.tellychakkar.com/news/sa-re-ga-ma-pa-lil-champs-gets-its-winner>Sa Re Ga Ma Pa</a> is back. However, this time he will be trying his hand in the fiction genre. Yes, you heard it right, Gajendra Singh is making his first fiction show for Sahara One.

<a href="http://www.tellychakkar.com/news/apurva-rescue-uncle-and-aarti">Sumeet Raghavan</a> who is currently seen in SAB TV’s <em>Sajan Re Jhoot Maat Bolo</em> has launched his production house called MHO2.

She escaped eviction last week but looks like her soulful renditions with Richa Sharma didn’t quite impress the viewers as they put her on the elimination block this week. <a href=http://www.tellychakkar.com/interviews/comedy-top-18-sa-re-ga-ma-sugandha-going-great>Sugandha Mishra</a> is eliminated in this week’s episode of <em><a href=http://www.tellychakkar.com/news/ranjeet-rajwada-out-week>Sa Re Ga Ma Pa</a></em>.

<em> Sa Re Ga Ma Pa</em> is left with very few contestants and now the competition stiffens. The latest to be evicted from the show is Sniti Mishra from Orissa. A source says, “Sniti from Daler Mehndi’s group will be evicted this week. Everyone is shocked with the decision because Sniti was always considered to be one of the top contenders by the judges as well. She had also bagged the maximum votes a number of times on the show. Bappi Lahiri will be the special guest this week. The judges and the contestants were super excited to meet him. <em> ‘Disco’</em> is the theme this week.”

The only way the remaining talented singers on <a href=http://www.tellychakkar.com/news/entertainment-3-replace-indian-idol-5>Indian Idol 5</a> can save themselves is by singing badly in the gala rounds because if one goes by Shashi Suman’s eviction this week, looks like viewers have scant respect for pure talent! Shashi is a former <em><a href=http://www.tellychakkar.com/news/purab-fill-aditya-sa-re-ga-ma>Sa Re Ga Ma Pa</a></em> contestant and was equally stunned to hear the results like all the three judges.
