“He used to sweetly laminate every news article about us,” recalls Jigar Saraiya, remembering his late father on the sets of Sa Re Ga Ma Pa

Zee TV’s Sa Re Ga Ma Pa has returned with a fresh season, and the first four episodes have already showcased some of India’s finest new voices. This season marks the reality TV debut of the popular Gujju brothers, Sachin-Jigar, who are mentoring alongside the dynamic music composer-lyricist Jodi Sachet-Parampara, and singer-songwriter Guru Randhawa. Vipul Roy hosts this exciting season of Nayi Aawaaz, Naya Andaaz.

In the upcoming ‘Mega Audition’ episodes, Sachin-Jigar were deeply moved by contestant Jay’s powerful performance to ‘Tadap Tadap.’ The duo was completely mesmerized, and after Jay’s performance, Jigar couldn’t contain his excitement and gave Jay a standing ovation. Sachin added that Jay’s voice had something unique that made him stand out.

What truly touched the musical brothers’ hearts was the presence of Jay’s father, who stood proudly by his son’s side during the audition. This scene stirred emotional memories for Jigar, as he was reminded of his late father, who had been his greatest supporter.

Jigar said, “We (Sachin and Jigar) are truly excited to see where your journey takes you in this competition. Watching your father stand by you, reminds me so much of my dad. Until the time he was with us, he was my biggest supporter. The biggest trophy for me is him sweetly laminating every single news article about us and keeping it. His pride and belief in us was everything. Seeing that same love and dedication in your father’s eyes today brought back so many memories. We know you’re going to make him, and all of us, incredibly proud.”

Will Jay make his place in the Top 12?
