/> The irrepressible Ismail Durbar has done it again. He has ended up insulting one more legend of the music world. Some time ago he made a mockery of the Mangeshkar name by getting Lataji to record a song for a film that never got made.

Lataji is still waiting for Durbar to get back to her.

On Sa Re Ga Ma Pa which he judges every week Durbar has been regularly crossing swords with the other Mangeshkar sister.

In the episode on Saturday (June 16) Ismail Darbar does it again. This time his target is composing genius Khayyam.

According to a Zee spokesperson, "A squabble arose between Ismail Darbar and Khayyam Saab when the latter eliminated a contestant Jyoti from the competition. Ismail Darbar claimed that Jyoti had sung well enough and that it was a wrong decision taken by Khayyam Saab.

Here Ismail also mentioned that it was as wrong for Ashaji to have eliminated another contestant Sarika. Khayyam Saab was naturally very hurt. He said he thought Ismail was insulting him, his music and his experience of so many years.

He was very upset by his remarks. He said Ismail should respect his position as a Mahaguru and have faith in his judgement. But Ismail Darbar was firm on his stance and got into a serious disagreement with Khayyam Saab."

When contacted Khayyam tried to underplay the ugly incident. "Ismail is young and talented. He shouldn't have said what he did. But we sorted it out. I think Ismail's job is to guide the contestants. And one has to be very objective about the judgement.

But often one gets emotional about issues like a contestant from Pakistan...or a female contestant from the US who has left her child behind...

These are emotional matters. But one can't have emotions coming into play while judging a contest. And after a judge gives his decision, no one can challenge his judgement. Ismail challenged my judgement. Yeh baat ghalat thi. However I'd say he got emotional.

He shouldn't have used the words he did. Having said this, I must say Ismail and and his students are very talented. When this incident happened my colleague on the judges' seat Rajesh Roshan was abroad. So I was alone and therefore I had a double responsibility."

Khayyam gets emotional. "My relations with all the judges go back a long way. Bappi Lahiri's father, Ismail Durbar's father, Himesh Reshammiya's father have worked with me. And Vishal-Shekhar are like my sons....I'd say there're no losers and winners on the show. They're all so good. "
