Zee TV’s Sa Re Ga Ma Pa has returned with a fresh season, and the first two episodes have already showcased some of India’s finest new voices. This season marks the reality TV debut of the popular Gujju duo, Sachin-Jigar, who are mentoring alongside the dynamic music composer-lyricist couple Sachet-Parampara, and singer-songwriter Guru Randhawa. Vipul Roy hosts this exciting season of Nayi Aawaaz, Naya Andaaz.
While every participant from across the country has faced their own struggles to reach this stage, the journey hasn’t been easy for our mentors either. Recently, during the shoot, an AV clip was played, showcasing the challenges and hardships Jigar endured to get to where he is today, leaving everyone on set teary-eyed. Following this, Sachin expressed his heartfelt gratitude towards his best friend and praised him in front of everyone. The AV left Jigar deeply emotional. To honor their bond, Sachin dedicated the ‘Tere Jaisa Yaar Kahan’ song to Jigar. The atmosphere was filled with love and admiration, as the entire set witnessed the unbreakable bond between two friends who’ve shared not just success, but every struggle along the way.
Sachin said, “I met Jigar at a time when I was overwhelmed with work and desperately needed a partner. We would spend countless hours working together, but it wasn’t until one late evening, when I dropped him home, that I truly saw the life he was living—the struggles he quietly carried. He never once spoke about his hardships, not a word about the weight he was bearing, and that was the moment I realized how extraordinary he really was. Meeting his family opened my eyes to why he is so humble and so grounded. During Ganesh Chaturthi, as I watched him pour his heart into playing the dhol, surrounded by the joy of celebration, I knew deep down that this person had touched my soul in a way no one else ever had. He will always have my heart.”
Talking about the same Jigar said, “When the AV started playing, I was completely taken by surprise, overwhelmed with a whirlwind of emotions. I can’t express how deeply grateful I am for the people who have stood by me, supporting me every step of the way. I always dreamed of learning music, but I didn’t have the resources. There were so many voices around me, trying to drag me down, questioning my father about what I was really doing with my life. But through all of it, my loved ones never once doubted my dreams or my love for music. Today, I may no longer have my parents with me, but I have Sachin, who has become my family. Don’t ever lose hope in chasing your dreams. Turn your weaknesses into your greatest strengths. And if anyone ever tells you that you can’t do it, just tell them, ‘If Jigar could do it, so can I. ”
While all the mentors have had their share of struggles, Jigar’s heartfelt story touched everyone’s heart during the shoot.
