MUMBAI: This Sunday, Sony Entertainment Television’s homegrown format  ‘Superstar Singer 3’ will welcome Melody King Udit Narayan and his wife Deepa Narayan, for a special episode titled ‘Udit Narayan’s Masterclass’. Honoring the legend, the incredible young talent will pay a heartfelt tribute by singing Udit Narayan’s timeless classics that are loved even today. With the insightful guidance of their mentors, the contestants will bring to life the magic of Udit Ji's melodies, creating an unforgettable experience for all music lovers.

But it will be 13-year-old Master Aryan from Gurdaspur, Punjab, who will leave the audience spellbound with his rendition of “Udja Kale Kawan”, earning accolades from all, including its OG singer Udit Narayan.  Along with praising Master Aryan, the Indian playback singer Udit Narayanwill share memories of this song, saying, “I am speechless and have no words to praise your performance. It was incredible. Aryan, you even sang in a higher range compared to what I did when I was performing this song. I still remember that 2001 was the year when 'Gadar: Ek Prem Katha' and 'Lagaan' were released on the same day, on 15th June, and both created history. They became musical blockbusters. And who knew that after 22 years, 'Gadar 2' would be made and Uttam Singh's songs would be recreated by Mithoon. It’s a big challenge to recreate a hit. Aneesh Sharma, the director of both films, called me and Mithoon Ji and when we met, Mithoon said, 'Udit Ji, when your film was released, I was in college, and I was your fan. But I want to tell you that when I started working on this film, I received so many requests through email – they said if you’re making Gadar again, you must take Udit Narayan’s voice again. Hearing this I felt good.”

Super Judge Neha Kakkar also complimented Aryan, saying, “Aryan, this was your best performance, superb! It was so full of soul, it had so much power, and it was so full of emotions. I feel this show has been a good learning ground for you and all of you are going to go back with so much musical knowledge. And we all can see your growth already, God bless you. Beautiful.”
