/> It's a Bappi Lahiri special on Zee's Ek Main Aur Ek Tu this week. And Bappi Lahiri was in his element while recording the special segment.

In fact he insisted on retaining only his songs for the one-hour special. According to a Sa Re Ga Ma source, "We wanted Bappi-da to come as a guest-judge for a while. But when we suggested this, he immediately wanted all the contestants to sing his songs. At first we were reluctant. But finally we relented. We were glad that we gave in."

Bappi was thrilled to bits hearing the contestants sing his songs. The show kicks off with contestants Banjyotsana and Sharib singing Bappi's Intehaa ho gayi. But the high point is Vishwas and Twinkle doing Mujhe nau-lakha manga de re.

So impressed was Bappi Lahiri by the duo that he spontaneously took off one of his gold chains and presented it to the duo saying, "Since I am gold man I consider gold very lucky for me. I would like to give you two a chain."

Bappi also sings the Bombay Nagariya track from Taxi No 9211 in the episode to be telecast on Friday.

Says producer-director Gajendra Singh, "Lots of judges, from singers to composers have come on our show. But no one had ever gifted the contestants anything in such a spontaneous gesture of affectionate aashirwaad. I think Bappi-da won our entire team's hearts that evening."
