Zee TV’s iconic singing reality show Sa Re Ga Ma Pa returns with its grandest season yet, themed “Hindustan Ka Sangeetsthan.” The show elevates music reality television with a spectacular 360-degree concert stage, a live orchestra of over 100 musicians, and an esteemed panel of musical icons: Shankar Mahadevan, Kumar Sanu, Neeti Mohan, and Javed Ali. Stepping into the spotlight to anchor this monumental season is versatile actor Shreyas Talpade. Renowned for his effortless charm, quick wit, and stellar cinematic performances, Shreyas transitions into host mode, bringing a warm, conversational energy to the stage as he guides emerging singing powerhouses toward stardom.
Taking on hosting duties for a platform of this magnitude, Shreyas expressed his reverence for the sheer grandeur and purity of the show. “This is the first time a show of this scale has been conceptualised, and the sheer talent taking the stage in the coming weeks is phenomenal. I feel truly honoured to anchor a spectacle that stays so remarkably authentic. Hearing a live band and over a hundred live musicians perform alongside these incredible contestants creates an extraordinary atmosphere—you are simply mesmerised watching it all unfold.”
Surrounded by industry stalwarts, Shreyas humorously reflected on his own musical journey while sharing the stage with legendary gurus. “If I manage to pick up even a fraction of singing by the end of this season, I’ll consider myself fortunate! Our incredible gurus guide me step-by-step along the way. When someone like Javed bhai demonstrates a missing note by singing it flawlessly himself, you realise the standard set here—and how much homework I need to do! But we’ll get there.”
Anchoring the season with humility and joy, Shreyas remains deeply grateful for the opportunity to share the spotlight with future musical icons. “I want to thank Zee TV for giving me the privilege of hosting Sa Re Ga Ma Pa alongside legends like Shankar Mahadevan, Kumar Sanu, Neeti Mohan, and Javed Ali. Sharing a platform with talent who will undoubtedly become tomorrow’s superstars is humbling. They might forget me in the future, but I’m having an absolute blast right now, hoping that by the time the season ends, I might just turn into a decent singer myself!”
