From being a Li’l Champ to hosting the new season of Sa Re Ga Ma Pa, life has come full circle for Salman Ali

MUMBAI : Zee TV’s iconic singing reality show, Sa Re Ga Ma Pa, is back with a brand-new season, featuring an all-new panel of mentors – Sachin-Jigar, Sachet-Parampara, Guru Randhawa, showcasing some of India’s finest emerging voices in this edition themed Nayi Aawaaz, Naya Andaaz. This season, alongside the host Vipul Roy, the promising runner-up of Sa Re Ga Ma Pa L’il Champs 2011- Salman Ali will be seen co-hosting the show.

Salman started his journey as a Li’l Champs contestant in 2011, and after that in 2021, he was seen as a part of one of the teams in the show- Indian Pro Music League. But for the first time, he will be seen co-hosting the show. In a recent episode, Salman made a surprising entry as a contestant, however, soon after his performance to the song ‘Mast Qalandar’, mentor Sachet asked him to anchor the show with Vipul Roy since he is such a great singer. Accepting the offer, Salman said “Jo Jijaji bolenge, woh main karunga.”

Talking about his journey from a contestant to the host, Salman said, “Never in my life, I thought that one day I would host this show. I started my journey as a contestant on Sa Re Ga Ma Pa Li’l Champs in 2011 and today, after 13 years, I have this opportunity to host the show, this is genuinely a big leap in my career. Ever since I was a contestant, I used to imagine how I would host if I ever get a chance, and today when I am getting to do that, I feel like life has come full circle. I am genuinely very happy and grateful, and I thank Sa Re Ga Ma Pa for fulfilling my dream.”
