"I can't believe these things can happen to a creative talent show like Sa Re Ga Ma Pa," says Aadesh Shrivastava, Himani's mentor. Earlier the show took an ugly turn when three of the four finalists contestants Hema Chandra, Himani and Vinit staged a walk-out. Their protest was against the fourth contestant Debojit receiving the maximum number of votes.
Ismail Darbar was heard telling Vinit, "What do you think... you are a great singer and that Debojit doesn't even know how to sing... you are under a wrong impression..." An enraged Himesh Reshammiya then took up for his shagird.
While Debojit belongs to Ismail's gharana, Vinit belongs to that of Himesh's. All this has made the show director Gajendra Singh totally stressed out as he still had to go ahead and shoot the episode in order to keep up with the telecast dates.
