The minute Rimsha and Priyanshi started singing Man kyun behka re behka aadhi raat ko from the movie Utsav, their honey coated voices tugged at the heartstrings of one and all present giving ample testimony of their talent and brilliance.
This is one of those rare songs which the legendary singers and sisters, Lata Mangeshkar and Asha Bhosle sang together. This song will always remain special not only for the senior Mangeshkar sisters but also for music aficionados across the globe because it's well known that Lata Ji and Asha Ji kept all differences between them aside and came together for this song after a very long time.
Hearing Rimsha & Priyanshi sing the song flawlessly, Kailash Kher praised them, "I am sure when Lata ji and Asha ji were kids they must have sounded like you two, radiating the same innocence from your faces."
"This song has many nostalgic memories for me. During my growing up years, I used to be glued to the Radio set to listen to this song. Priyanshi and Rimsha – thank you so much for singing this song," said Javed Ali.
Alka Yagnik put the cherry on the cake when she said, "You guys were so good that I will personally call Lata Ji and ask her to watch this episode of Li'l Champs." She will also be sharing a DVD of the episode with Lata ji to showcase the awesome singing of the two young participants. It was indeed a proud moment for the mentors, parents and the makers of the show to have unearthed such talent from remote corners of our country.
Tune into Sa Re Ga Ma Pa Li'l Champs every Friday and Saturday 10 PM only on Zee TV.
