Zee
TV
recently
returned
with
its
most
iconic,
longest-running
singing
reality
show
that
has
stayed
relevant
to
music
lovers
across
the
country
-
Sa
Re
Ga
Ma
Pa
2021.
The
show
started
with
a
bang,
and
this
season's
talented
contestants
have
already
managed
to
impress
the
audience.
However,
viewers
are
in
for
a
treat
this
Saturday
as
Padmashree
Asha
Parekh
will
appear
as
the
special
guest
on
Sa
Re
Ga
Ma
Pa
alongside
the
judges.
While
all
the
performances
by
the
young
participants
during
the
shoot
were
dedicated
to
Asha
ji,
the
veteran
actress
got
very
emotional
while
reminiscing
her
memories
with
the
late
Lata
Mangeshkar.
The
legendary
singer
recently
passed
away
after
a
prolonged
illness,
and
while
she
has
left
a
big
void
in
everyone's
hearts,
her
music
will
stay
eternal.
To
celebrate
her
legacy,
Asha
Parekh
requested
contestant
Neelanjana
to
sing
Lag
Ja
Gale
on
the
stage,
and
her
performance
left
everyone
speechless
and
teary-eyed.
Judge
Shankar
Mahadevan
also
requested
everyone
to
observe
a
minute
of
silence
for
Lata
ji.
The
entire
team
paid
a
heartfelt
tribute
to
the
Nightingale
of
India,
Shri
Lata
Mangeshkar.
Talking
about
working
with
Lata
Ji,
Asha
Parekh
mentioned
on
Sa
Re
Ga
Ma
Pa,
"I
didn't
get
a
chance
to
spend
a
lot
of
time
with
her,
however,
having
said
that,
I
consider
myself
very
lucky
to
have
gotten
an
opportunity
to
work
with
her.
I
will
always
remember
her
as
a
very
jolly
and
calm
person
who
gave
extraordinary,
beautiful,
and
evergreen
songs
to
the
musical
industry.
She
was
an
epitome
of
Saraswati
for
me,
who
is
sadly
no
longer
with
us.
I
still
remember
whenever
she
used
to
sing,
everyone
just
wanted
to
keep
listening
to
her
songs,
including
myself."
While
paying
tribute
to
Lata
Mangeshkar,
Shankar
Mahadevan
added,
"I
request
everyone
to
observe
a
minute
of
silence
for
Lata
di
as
wherever
she
is;
she
must
be
blessing
us."
