The duo will be seen continuing their banter with Shaan talking about a comment made by Himesh that became quite popular on Sa Re Ga Ma Pa. The singer had once told a contestant, “Mujhe Tere Ghar Pe Roti Chahiye!” The comment expressed how he wanted to see the contestant making a successful living out of his singing talent.

In fact, I have been associated with the show since more than 15 years, so it is even more special to me and I am honoured to be a part of Ek Desh, Ek Raag – a never-heard-before 25 hour
