One standout moment from the episode was contestant Sonia???s rendition of the popular song 'Karle Pyaar Karle??? which left everyone spellbound. After this wonderful performance, Jamnadas requested Sonia to sing another song ???Duniya Mein Logon Ko??? just to watch her voice modulation and variations.
He then shared: "I remember the days when the song 'Yamma Yamma' from the film ???Shaan??? was trending and I used to sing the same in school. Everyone used to really appreciate my performance. Then, when I joined my college after school, I participated in the talent hunt fest in the very first year, thinking I am a good singer. Even my friends were very supportive and encouraged me a lot to participate in the fests.???
???It was organised in the college auditorium, where instead of the usual 1100 seats, a crowd of 2500 people gathered, resulting in a completely filled auditorium. After clearing the initial auditions and undergoing a three to four-day training with teachers, fest day arrived. Nervous amidst the vast crowd, I stumbled on the first beat, yet my musician helped me recover,??? he said.
JD added: ???Despite not being a stellar singer, I lacked precise rhythm and modulation. However, I consistently attempted ???Yamma Yamma???. Surprisingly, I became a college star for three years. The spectacle of people breaking chairs and dancing ecstatically after my performance was surreal. My advice: always sing from the heart, a principle I adhered to throughout my college days.???
The episode promises an entertainment extravaganza, with contestants showcasing their best performances, aiming to impress the esteemed judges and guests, to make their place in the top 5. The evening for the viewers will be filled with amazing musical renditions and heartfelt performances of the popular composers.
???Sa Re Ga Ma Pa??? airs on Zee TV.
