Aneek Dhar to host Sa Re Ga Ma

Reality show singers may not figure in Bollywood charts but they do find alternate ways to remain in the limelight. One such option is hosting. Rahul Vaidya, Vineet Singh, Abhaas, Mouli Dave are prime examples of this. Aneek Dhar has now joined this list. The Sa Re Ga Ma Pa Challenge 2007 champion is all set to host Sa Re Ga Ma Pa Bangla. Confirming the news, Aneek says, “I will be hosting Sa Re Ga Ma Pa (Bangla). The shooting commences from August 25.” Prior to this, Aneek was seen in Ek Se Badhkar Ek. However, Aneek and his partner Sayantani Ghosh will be eliminated in the upcoming episode. Ek Se Badhkar Ek is a unique reality show which sees performances from a pair of singer and dancer. All contestants are judged by a pair of choreographer and a singer. However, a few eliminated contestants have not been comfortable with the idea of a choreographer judging a singer and vice versa. When asked to comment on this Aneek replied, “Unfortunately, such is the show’s format and I wouldn’t like to comment anything on it.” The Bengal lad had rose to fame after winning Sa Re Ga Ma Pa Challenge 2007. After an outstanding season last year, viewers expected an even better show on Sa Re.. Challenge 2009. Unfortunately, thus far it has failed to live up to expectations. Commenting on this Aneek says, “I too am getting to hear this. My close friends too tell me that the current season isn’t as enjoyable as the last one.”
