The popular singing reality show, Sa Re Ga Ma Pa recently concluded its audition phase with the top 16 contestants for the Grand Premiere of the show. The contestants impressed the judges with their soulful singing. One of the contestants, Neelanjana Ray stood out with her performance as recreated Himesh Reshammiya’s composition ‘Apne toh Apne Hote Hai’ while a family photo montage of the judges skimped through in the background. Judge Himesh Reshamiya got teary-eyed as he began missing his father.
Himesh said, “Whenever I see my dad’s photo, I tend to get shaken up a bit because of his growing age. He is absolutely fit, and we tend to have a lot of fun as well, but he visits the doctor almost every day and gets frequent check-ups as well. At times, I also get irritated and ask him if he doesn’t have a problem why he imbibes so much negativity within him. But then I understand the insecurities and psychological thoughts he must also be dealing with because of his old age. But he is absolutely fine otherwise, and I hope he always has everyone’s blessings.”
Talking about Neelanjana’s performance he added, “I felt the performance bound us together. Every single note that you picked or a behavior that you depicted while singing was flawless, divine, and beautiful. You are a great singer, and your talent has completely stood out on the show.”
