Lata Mangeshkar	Asha Bhonsle

If Sa Re Ga Ma Pa on Zee thought it had worked out a master-blaster of a plan by getting Asha Bhonsle on the show, then they've a shock awaiting them. For the grand finale of Star's Amul Voice Of India, Gajendra Singh has convinced Lata Mangeshkar to preside as the chief guest and super-judge.

The reluctant diva was convinced, via her sister Usha Mangeshkar, to be part of the reality show. The deal, at the moment, is hush-hush. Says a source from Voice of India, "Lataji has always been shy of going on television and she had completely turned down Gajendra Singh every time he had approached her when he was doing the show for Zee TV. What tilted the scales in Gajendra Singh's favour was sister Asha Bhonsle's appearance on Zee TV's Sa Re Ga Ma Pa. Apart from the fact that Lataji's family convinced her to be on the rival show, she is very impressed with the new musical talent. She has encouraged everyone from composers Laxmikant-Pyarelal to her latest protge Mayuresh Pai, singers like Suresh Wadkar, Anuradha Paudwal, Alka Yagnik, Sunidhi Chauhan and Shreya. "

Though no money has been discussed, apparently a handsome donation will be made to Lata Mangeshkar's hospital in Pune, in return for her appearance on the show.

This will be the singing diva's first TV appearance since the music talent show Meri Awaaz Suno on Star Plus, which she had co-produced. Confirming the news Gajendra Singh says, "Yes, Lataji has agreed to be on our show. But it's too early to talk about it."

Thanks smallwonder. There was a hint that Lata ji would be a guest judge on VOI. They've finally convinced her and that too for the grand finale! Wow, talk about planning in advance. 😆

I dont think she would have agreed to that... Am happy that at least she has agreed for the finals😊

Last time she judged a finals was way back 'Meri Awaz Suno' in DD, and we had little Sunidhi Chauhan as the winner in that... who knows we may have another discovery with this show... I am hopeful 😳
