Zee TV’s Sa Re Ga Ma Pa 2026 continues to live up to its promise of being ‘Hindustan Ka Sangeetsthan’, celebrating the richness of Indian music while giving talented singers from across the country a platform to showcase their abilities. Taking the celebrations a notch higher, the upcoming episode of the iconic singing reality show will embrace the festive spirit of Diwali with a special musical evening filled with memorable performances, exciting jugalbandis and heartwarming surprises. Bringing together the judges and contestants for a celebration of music and togetherness, the episode promises an evening brimming with festive cheer.

Setting the tone for the celebrations, Shankar Mahadevan will kick things off with a special opening skit, bringing his signature energy and charm to the stage. Adding to the musical festivities, contestant Geet Bagde will impress the judges with her lively rendition of ‘Eena Meena Deeka’.

The moment will soon turn into a fun-filled jugalbandi as Kumar Sanu joins Geet for an impromptu rendition, affectionately calling her ‘Fatafati’ and adding to the entertainment.

Beyond the music, the Diwali special will also be marked by gestures that capture the warmth and generosity associated with the festival. On the auspicious occasion of Dhanteras, Kumar Sanu will surprise contestant Sehajdeep with an expensive watch, making the occasion even more memorable for him. In another heartwarming moment, contestant Durgesh Yadav will be promised a television in the presence of his Guru. Keeping the entertainment quotient high, host Shreyas Talpade will also take to the stage with a fun-filled ‘patakha’ skit alongside the contestants, bringing laughter and festive energy to the evening.
