Indore/Jaipur,A teacher's blessings and guidance often play an invaluable role in shaping an artist's journey. Celebrating the spirit of music, encouragement and compassion, Zee TV's popular singing reality show Sa Re Ga Ma Pa 2026 is set to present an emotional and heartwarming moment in its upcoming Diwali special episode.

Staying true to its promise of becoming 'Hindustan Ka Sangeetastaan', the show will bring a memorable surprise for contestant Durgesh Yadav. The occasion will become even more special with the presence of his mentor, Pandit Shri Girijashankar Tripathi Ji, who will join the celebrations to bless his student.

Durgesh had long wished for his mentor to visit the show and bless him on this important musical journey. However, despite several attempts, the meeting could not be arranged. Understanding how much this moment meant to Durgesh, the Sa Re Ga Ma Pa team took a special initiative and invited his guru to the sets as a surprise.

During the conversation with Pandit Girijashankar Tripathi, the judges also enquired about Durgesh's family background. It emerged that Durgesh belongs to Mau, a small town in Uttar Pradesh, where his family depends on farming a modest piece of agricultural land for its livelihood.

An emotional revelation followed when his mentor shared that Durgesh's family did not even own a television set through which they could watch him perform on the show.
