A sense of style is as personal as one's identity. Style is a reflection of our overall personality and there are many
who would like to copyright their trademark identities.
The music composer duo Sajid-Wajid is renowned for their "Beat Boxing" style of composing music.
Beatboxing is a form of vocal percussion which primarily involves the art of producing drum beats, rhythm, and
musical sounds using one's mouth, lips, tongue and voice. It may also involve singing, vocal imitation of turntables,
the simulation of horns, strings, and other musical instruments.
Sajid-Wajid is champions in this genre and many of their songs have been composed on the go using beat boxing.
Apart from the common music element in them they are quite different from each other. Sajid Khan is a very chilled
out and a complete "Mumbaikar" whereas Wajid Khan always bears a somber expression on his face.
Sajid will be casually dressed whereas Wajid loves wearing kurtas and bandhgalas. Sources also say that Sajid is
very possessive about his caps, which is his style statement.
A mentor with a cap has been Sa Re Ga Ma Pa's trademark it seems because in the last season mentor Himesh
Reshamiya used to wear a cap all the time.
Sajid in a jovial mood said that, "A lot of people in the music industry have started wearing a cap emulating my
style."
We are sure the taunt was directed towards Himesh.
To share his passion with the participants Sajid had decided to give away his cap to the worthy contender. He has
even given his caps to some of his favorite contestants during the auditions.
Meanwhile, contestants and mentors at Zee TV's reality show ‘Saregamapa Singing Superstars' have become like
immediate family.
Riyaaz forms an integral part of an aspiring singer's daily routine. Along with voice training and modulation the
contestants are also exposed to integrated multi-dimensional wellness systems addressing physical, physiological,
mental, emotional and spiritual dimensions.
Competition training aspects like health and spiritualism, natural and cosmic nutrition, personal grooming and
psychotherapy interspersed with the ideologies and philosophies of Vedas, Zen, Tao etc. target at making a
mentally, physically and spiritually healthy and more complete individual.
Dieticians are consulted during the grooming sessions as food influences the mind potential, improving the attitude
and reflects and enhances the thought process and behavioral science. It also helps integrate mind, body, soul
phenomenon, bringing about a sense of wholeness, vibrancy and radiance.
A singing superstar is not just about the music but also about the overall persona attached with the singer. A
superstar has to enthrall the audience till the end of his performance.
The whole training program is conceptualized and conducted with a holistic approach integrating the holy trinity of
the body, mind and soul; physical transformation with military regimental equipment-free training techniques, where
every single part of the musculo-skeletal structure is stimulated, stretched, contracted and challenged with regulated
breathing, thus addressing it in totality.
However, you don't have to go to a swanky restaurant to relish mouth-watering biriyani.
Just drop into the sets of Sa Re Ga Ma Pa, the day Sajid – Wajid are present. This music composer duo has a big
heart and like actor Salman Khan brings biriyani to the sets for everyone.
Actors and technicians have forever complained about the food at the sets, since the time Sajid Wajid has joined
SRGMP there is a happy and contended smile on every body's face.
Sajid says, "Hospitality runs in out blood. We love to eat and also feed. It's a crime to eat and not share delicacies."
Wajid adds cheekily, "We intend to remain composers and not get into the catering business."
