Kapil Sharma sang the song of his idol Sukhwinder Singh. But he forgot the lyrics of the song in between. Anu Malik said it is cardinal sin on the part of a performer to forget the lyrics. But even then he gave good marks. There was small exchange of words between Mika Singh and Anu Malik. Mika Singh said if Anu Malik thought Michael Jackson was his idol why was he not singing a song of Michael Jackson.

Sachin Pilgaonkar sang the song “o tum kya jaano” sung by RD Burman in the film Hum Kisi Se Kam Nahin. He said RD Burman was his idol. Mansi Parekh sang the song “maiya maiya” from the film Guru composed by AR Rehman and said that AR Rehman was her idol.

Participant Sumeet Raghavan said that he was sad about him always being less votes by the public. He said if Alisha Chinoy and Anu Malik had appreciated him for his performance in the previous 2 weeks, there was no reason why should have been there in the bottom two.

Sachin impressed Anu Malik and Alisha Chinoi in Star Ya Rockstar in Zee TV held on 15th October, 2011. Many filmstars and serialstars sung songs including Debina Banerjee, Ragini Khalla, Manish Paul, Neha Marda, Sumeet Raghavan, and others.

Sachin Pilgaonkar had been acting in Marathi and hindi films from the age of 8 years. He had acted in award winning films and commercial films. Viewers still remember his excellent performance as child artist in films like Brahmchari, Jewel thief, etc. He sang the song “pyar hume is mor pe le aya” and amazed Anu Malik and Alisha Chinoy. In the last week he sang the song “mai aya hoon” brilliantly. It appeared that if Sachin would not have been an actor he would have been a successful singer.

Ragini Khalla sang the song “lag ja gale”. Alisha Chinoy commented that her “sur” was not right. It was very classically oriented rendition of Lataji and required a lot of expertise. Sumeet Raghavan sang Mohammad Rafi’s song “tum jo mil gaye ho”. He did well, but the minute classical touch in the song could not be given. Even then Anu Malik and Alisha Chinoy gave good remarks.

Debina Banerjee sang the song “zara zara mehekta hai”. Alisha Chinoy said the effort was good, but lot of hard work is required to actually do justice to the song. Anu Malik was a bit liberal in his comment.

The effort of all the actors and actresses were good. But as music is a totally skilled area of work, a lot of practice has to be there to come up to the mark. At the end of the program Sachin sang the song “hoton se chulon tum” to give tribute to great ghazal singer Jagjit Singh who passed away a week back. Everyone paid their respect to the departed soul.

Anil Kapoor glorified Zee TV Saregamapa program.

Anil Kapoor appeared in the Zee TV Saregamapa program a week back. In that program he had shared a number of information which the viewers never knew. He said that Vidhu Vinod Chopra never wanted to work with commercial actors and composers when he made the film Parinda. It was Anil Kapoor who insisted him to take Jackie Shroff in the film. He did so. He also recommended the name of RD Burman as composer.

He also told the story relating to the recording of the song “ek ladki ko dekha to aisa laga” in the film 1942 a love story. Firstly Anil Kapoor never wanted to play the romantic role. Instead he asked Amir Khan to do it. When he did not agree Anil Kapoor accepted the challenge. He reduced his weight and appeared before Vidhu Vinod Chopra, and the entire unit was shocked to see Anil Kapoor. The day when the recording of the song took place, Kumar Shanu came with a beard. Anil Kapoor asked him to go and shave and return back and then the song was recorded. The rest was history.

He also talked about the secret relating to his health. The composers Sajid Wajid and others said that heroes who had started their career with Anil Kapoor had half got bald, the rest had left films. Anil Kapoor had still remained hero and looked forward to his new release No Problem. He said he dreamt large. He also said that he had taken everything positively in life. That was the key to his success.

He also remembered brilliant dancer and his best pair Madhuri Dixit. The composers asked him that always he feared his wife in films like No Entry and No Problem. He said that his love towards comedy films had allowed him to do the roles with ease. Everyone had wished the best for his newly produced film No Problem.
