Sa Re Ga Ma Pa Li’l Champs: Legendary singer Mukesh’s son Nitin Mukesh opens up about his father taking a loan from a vegetable vendor

Zee TV’s singing reality show Sa Re Ga Ma Pa has been ruling hearts of audiences for almost 3 decades. After introducing the world to talented singers, the show also planned on bringing forth the musical talent of young singers with the help of Sa Re Ga Ma Pa Li’l Champs, which is now in its ninth season. This season viewers are getting to watch a fresh panel of judges which includes Shankar Mahadevan, Anu Malik, and Neeti Mohan guide the young singing sensation with Bharti Singh as the host. It seems that there is a special surprise for viewers this weekend as legendary playback singer – Nitin Mukesh will be a part of the special episode, ‘Celebrating 100 years of Mukesh’.

Amidst some spectacular performances, Nitin Mukesh recalled memories of his father Mukesh and even opened up about his long period of struggle. Despite giving the industry, some of the most popular songs like ‘Awara Hoon’ and ‘Mera Joota Hai Japani’, the singer had faced his share of hardships.

Nitin Mukesh said, “I have never heard of anyone’s struggle with so many ups and downs in life.  He has gone days without drinking water and eating food, but the strange thing is that he became ‘The Mukesh Ji’ after singing famous songs like ‘Awara Hoon’ and ‘Mera Joota Hai Japani’, and yet struggled for six to seven years after that. There was a time when he couldn’t afford to pay the school fees for me and my sister. I still remember that there was a vegetable vendor near our house who absolutely loved Mukesh Ji and was so fond of his voice that he offered to lend him some money. That’s how Mukesh Ji paid our school fees, but, nor did he or the vendor ever let this information reach us. But our mother used to tell us everything, saying that ‘see how papa is going through a tough time’. These are the memories that I will never forget, and I pray that I can follow in his footsteps. He never gave up and always said that he will emerge as a winner, and he did.”

After Nitin shared these heartfelt stories, judge Shankar Mahadevan responded, saying, “These stories are surely going to inspire and motivate all the contestants to work hard towards their dreams.”

Sa Re Ga Ma Pa Li’l Champs airs on Saturdays and Sundays at 9 pm on Zee TV.
