This weekend, Zee TV’s Sa Re Ga Ma Pa 2026 is trading standard competition mode for a vibrant, family-style Diwali celebration. Judges Kumar Sanu, Shankar Mahadevan, and Javed Ali, alongside host Shreyas Talpade, are turning the sets into a festive hub brimming with high-energy performances, personal surprises, and interactive viewer experiences.

As part of the episodd’s grand opening, Shankar Mahadevan sets the tone right from the start with a signature high-energy opening skit. Contestant Geet Bagde takes on the classic track “Eena Meena Deeka,” a performance so infectious that all three judges jump out of their seats to join her on stage. Kumar Sanu follows up with nostalgic stories of his own younger days experimenting with the song before breaking into an impromptu duet and dubbing her performance ‘Fatafati.’

The celebration brings out deep personal connections on set, particularly around Dhanteras. Impressed by his performance, Kumar Sanu walks up to the stage to surprise contestant Sehajdeep with a luxury watch. Learning that contestant Durgesh Yadav’s parents do not own a television and have never watched him perform live on TV, Kumar Sanu makes a heartfelt promise to send a television straight to their home in front of his Guru.

Host Shreyas Talpade keeps the energy light and buoyant between musical pieces by looping contestants into a goofy patakha comedy sketch.

Packed with special duets, heartfelt gifting moments, and interactive fan features, this weekend’s Diwali special promises a joyful blend of music, tradition, and unforgettable memories.
