India & Pakistan on a warfoot again!

As a country we are passionate about quite a few things, topmost being cricket followed by music. India and Pakistan have always been at loggerheads over cricket and now the musical battle between these two countries has also started on Zee TV.

The usual topic leading to friction on sets between the contestants from both countries has been about who will win the title of Hero Honda SaReGaMaPa.

A major show-down that took place on the set last week led Himesh Reshammiya, one of the mentors on the show to comment, "Why can't these youngsters just concentrate on music? I am a Hindu but I am inspired by Sufi music."

Our source witnessed a heated argument between Yashita from Mumbai and Zaheer from Pakistan where Zaheer openly challenged her by saying that "Iss baar Sangeet ki iss shaan ko Pakistaan mein lehrakar itihaas badlenge hum." This was not taken well by the otherwise fun loving Yashita who retaliated by saying "Hero Honda SaReGaMaPa ka parcham yahi par raha hain aur yahi rahega…"

The same tension was also seen amongst other contestants from Pakistan as they felt that they were not getting ample votes. Reacting to this, mentor Shankar Mahadevan, said, "That is not the case. My own friends vote for their favorite Pakistani contestant so where is the issue?"

However, our correspondent was pleasantly surprised when they saw Eid being celebrated on the sets of Hero Honda SaReGaMaPa and that too without Non Veg food. The reason was the Hindu Navratri festival.

The participants were also seen catching the Eid ka Chand and then proceeding to go for Dandiya Raas together.
Participants from India and Pakistan are currently fighting this fierce musical battle which will eventually unveil the best talent. All eyes are currently set on Zee TV every Fri and Sat at 10 pm to know the results.
