MUMBAI: After the raging success of its previous season, Zee TV's iconic singing reality show, Sa Re Ga Ma Pa has returned with a bang, featuring Himesh Reshammiya, Neeti Mohan, and Anu Malik as judges, and Aditya Narayan as the host. The upcoming Saturday episode will see an entertainment extravaganza as the legendary music composer- Anandji Virji Shah along with his wife Shanta Ben Shah will be seen gracing the ‘Celebrating- Kalyanji- Anandji’ special episode.
Amidst impressive performances from all contestants, it was Sneha Bhattacharya's rendition of 'Khaike Paan Banaraswala' and ‘Rafta Rafta’ songs that left everyone spellbound. It is the first time that the viewers will get to hear a female version of ‘Khaike Paan Banaraswala’. Right after her performance, Anandji went down the memory lane and got reminded of the time when the song was recorded by the late evergreen singer Kishore Kumar. He shared that to make the lyrics of the song match the sound, Kishore Da actually kept ‘Paan’ in his mouth while singing.
Anandji said, “After watching this performance, I remember Kishore Da and the studio where we recorded this song. Kishore Da entered the studio and asked for a ‘Paan’ because the character in the movie is also eating Paan and that’s how he decided to record the song for authenticity. He sang the song so beautifully that it is loved by everyone till date. Today, Sneha, you sang this song very nicely and I just loved your performance.”

Himesh Reshammiya said, “We have never seen such type of performance where we listen ‘Khaike Paan Banaraswala’ in a female voice, you showcased the same energy, attitude, modulation, style and ‘Kishore Da wala Jalwa’ in your performance. In fact, we cannot compare your performance with anyone because there is no reference point for all of us. Sneha, you are a very different and unique singer.”
While Sneha won everyone’s hearts with her wonderful performance, wait till you watch all the contestants' performances in the special episode.
Witness the Sa Re Ga Ma Pa special episode this Saturday and Sunday at 9 p.m., only on Zee TV!
