Emotions run high on 'Sa Re Ga Ma
Pa' episode
By Subhash K. Jha, Indo-Asian News Service
Mumbai, Aug 25 (IANS) It was a highly emotionally-charged
recording for a special episode of Zee's "Sa Re Ga Ma Pa Little
Champs" reality show contest.
The recording on Monday of the parents' special episode of the
six finalists - Pawani, Diwakar, Shraddha, Sanchita, Abhrokanti
and Samir - went on for an unprecedented
eight long hours. The recording had to be halted after every
child had sung due to the emotionally charged scenes on the
sets.
Exhausted but triumphant, "Sa Re Ga Ma Pa" producer-director
Gajendra Singh recalls the experience: "The parents of the six
finalists were supposed to select the song.
We all expected it to be an emotionally charged experience. But
we never expected the emotions would be so high.
"The recording went on for eight
hours - an all-time record on 'Sa Re Ga Ma Pa'. We had never in
the decade-long history of the show recorded an episode for so
long."
Says Singh: "By the end of the show, everyone, from the kids to
their parents, to three judges - Alka Yagnik, Bappi Lahiri and
Abhijeet - to the crew... everyone was
sobbing. The tears just wouldn't stop; so beautiful was the
rendering by every child. These kids are phenomenally blessed
and the parents' episode proves it."
The episode will be telecast Friday.
