Singer Aditya Narayan has announced that he will no longer host the reality show Sa Re Ga Ma Pa, with which he has been associated for nine seasons. He took to social media to share pictures of himself from the finale of the latest season of the show and penned an emotional farewell note.
He said that it was the reality show that gave him his identity. He wrote, “With a heavy heart, I bid adieu to my hosting duties for a show that gave me my own identity as an adult, SaReGaMaPa. From an 18-year-old teenager to a young man with a beautiful wife & baby daughter! 15years. 9 seasons. 350 episodes 🤯 Time really does fly.”
