To make it more interesting, hostess Anushree introduced the new challenge for the weekend to everyone and guess what? Many senior members from the SRGMP fame, i.e, older contestants from all the previous Sa Re Ga Ma Pa seasons were welcomed on the show. Since it was the ‘Celebration Round’, the hostess mentioned that these senior members will sing along with their junior partners to ensure maximum scores for each puttanigalu.
