A SIMPLY MIND BLOWING PERFORMANCE!!! RAJA ACHIEVES AN UNPRECEDENTED TEN OUT OF TEN - PERFORMED WITH ABSOLUTE CLASS!!! Raja participated in a show called; 'Sa Re Ga Ma Pa Mega Challenge' which launched in October 2009, and pitted some of the greatest Singers, past and present from previous Saregamapa shows. The format required the Captains to represent their areas of Origin and naturally, Raja (being a Captain) was the Captain of the Rajasthani team, which consisted of Priyanka Maliya (Famed for her role in 'SRGMP Lil Champs') and Dilshad Ali (Famed from 'Saregamapa 2005.') The opposing team consisted of Joy (Famed from Saregamapa 2007,) he was the Captain of the Assam team and he was working alongside 2 other Singers; Anamika Chaudhary (Famed for her role in 'SRGMP Lil Champs' - Series 2) and Abhigyan Das (Famed for his role in 'SRGMP Lil Champs' - Series 3.) The show required the artists to sing 4 songs each, the Captains of each team could choose who would sing these songs. Here is a chart of the songs and points achieved.
Eventually, the Rajasthani team lost out to Assam, who were collectively stronger as a team. But, Raja performed a solo that blew everyone away and it became one of the most memorable performances, of the show. Sukhwinder Singh - 'Ghar Aaja' (From the album: 'Nasha Hi Nasha') This is what Raja had said a week prior to the mind blowing performance shown above.
Raja Hasan Speaks: In fact, Raja had made me laugh when he had selected this song because he said to me; 'Jenna, jalthi aag pe haath rakha hai, toh please aap dua karo ke haath na jale...' ('I have put my hands into the burning embers of fire by selecting this song, so, please pray for me that my hands don't get burnt!!!') He meant that this song is not something that any Singer in their right mind, would attempt to sing, as it is such a technically difficult song to sing and he was attempting a major risk by trying it, I told him to fret not and that if God is willing, everything will be fine...and boy was it?!!! 10/10 and a standing ovation as well...A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!!! After Raja's team was eliminated from the show, he wanted me to tell his fans that this experience has been a major learning experience for him, he is not upset at the outcome, but, he has said that he will try better next time. Collectively he said that his group had really sore throats and even on the night I had called him, he had been violently vomiting just before my call, but, he is fine now. Please continue to pray for him and support his talent because without your love, he will go back to being a struggling Singer roaming the streets of Mumbai searching for work again and I cannot imagine such an angelic voice resorting to that status again. In fact the very thought of it, breaks my heart. He needs to move forward onto bigger and better things. I stated to Raja, after his experience that 'dher hai, andher nahi' - ('There may be much delay in life, but, never total darkness.') I told him to believe that God may have planned something greater around the corner for him. He agrees, and asked everyone to please pray for him. He stated that his fans are like his angels and he never fears anything in life because he knows that they are like his China Wall, standing around him, protecting and loving him but, he always asks for your prayers, so, please pray for his ultimate success. He said that as oppose to pursuing musical shows all his life, he wants to become a Professional Singer, and I said that in due time, if God is willing, this will happen for him, but, I assured him, that he is an 'anmol heera' (priceless gem) and never to feel disheartened in life about anything. Everything happens the way God plans it and he always has us (his fans), supporting him. He agrees and says that ultimately Allah will be the decider of his fate. After all, no matter what comes our way, 'Allah Ke Bande' Hasde. Source: Jenna Pal (Site Manager) & Raja Hasan Sagar (Bollywood Heartthrob!!!) (A few days later, by God's good grace, Raja had a fantastic opportunity that came his way. He will be one of Himesh Reshammiya's students on a new music show entitled; 'Music Ka Maha Muqabla' which will be airing on 'Star Plus' in December 2009.) - Be sure to catch it!!!
