The event has to be spectacular if it prompted Bappi Lahiri to part with one of his prized possessions – a gold chain. At the Bappi Lahiri special on Zee's Ek Main Aur Ek Tu to be telecast this Friday, the composer presents contestants Vishwas and Twinkle with his gold chain.
According to a source, "We had wanted Bappida to be a guest-judge for a while now. When we suggested this, he immediately wanted all the contestants to sing his songs. At first we were reluctant. But finally we relented and were glad that we gave in."
Bappi was on seventh heaven to hear contestants sing his songs. Contestants Banjyotsana and Sharib sang Bappi's 'Intehaa ho gayi'. But the high point was when Vishwas and Twinkle sang 'Mujhe nau-lakha manga de re'.
So impressed was he by the duo that he spontaneously took off one of his gold chains and presented it to the duo saying, "Since I am a gold man I consider gold very lucky. I would like to give you two a chain."
Bappi also sings the 'Bombay Nagariya' track from Taxi No 9211 in the episode.
