Meet Asha Bhosle...the new prankster of Li'l Champs

With a view to expose the Li’l Champs to the best musicians that India has seen, Asha Bhosle comes to hear the talented young singers who have taken the nation by storm with their melodious voices. This Saturday and Sunday episode of Zee TV’s Sa Re Ga Ma Pa Li’l Champs at 9 PM has the ever charming and graceful singing legend – Asha Bhosle. A celebrity guest on the show that showcases the singing talent of kids in the age group 9 to 13 years of age, Asha ji  herself was seen behaving like a child on the sets! Instead of being a strict judge, she mingled with the Li’l Champs so well, that all were amazed to see her childlike antics and mischief!

To express her unhappiness about the delay that Shaan, Monali and Alka created for turning up late for the shoot, she complained about their inability to be punctual to the dashing Aditya Narayan, the host of the show.  It was only much later that all realized something was amiss when the Captains Shaan and Monali and Mahaguru Alka Yagnik entered the set complaining that someone had locked them up in their rooms. No one took onus and finally Mahaguru  Alka Yagnik said she had a fair idea of who locked them all up and showed a video clip which showed Asha Bhosle and her partners in crime, the Li’l Champs, locking them up. Of course, Asha Tai outright refused this allegation  and just ordered all of them to be seated at their places and get the show rolling!  

But, she didn’t stop here… Young Sneha Pandit  who is also known as Bagvati, as she always carries a sling bag that contains her essentials and make-up. Sneha is also famous for her fondness of junk food and she also carries ‘emergency’ food in her bag. On being asked for the emergency food, Sneha tucked her hand  into her bag to take some out, but to her surprise it had vanished from her bag. Her usual suspects were the prankster boys, who always eye her food, host Aditya Narayan, Captains Shaan and Monali but soon saw Asha ji taking out two chocolates that she had been hiding all along and asked her if these chocolates were hers. Caught on camera the second time, Asha ji had nothing to say this time! While she returned the chocolates back to Sneha, the Captains and Mahaguru had a hearty laugh on Asha ji’s  mischievous ways.  

This weekend’s episode will see some stellar performances. The nine year old Aishwarya Saha, sang Asha Ji’s old semi classical song ‘Bheegi bheegi bhor aayi’ and got a standing ovation from Asha Ji and the Captains. The Captains and Asha Ji also enjoyed Aravind Nair’s performance on ‘Aao twist karein’.

Well looks like Asha Ji actually went down  memory lane and relived all her childhood days on the sets. She clearly left the Li’l Champs and the Captains amazed by her child like behavior.
