Mumbai: Kartiki Gaikwad, the Zee Marathi Saregamapa winner refused to be a part of the current season of Zee TV's Saregamapa L'il Champs. Why? Well, it seems even she was bitten by the insecurity bug. Apparently, the singer didn't want to risk her winning title.

Singing Sensations: Shukwinder Singh (L) with Abhijeet

Kartiki was asked to participate in the current season of Saregamapa as a wild card entry. She declined the offer making it clear that participating again would mean putting her winner's title at peril!

Meanwhile, the current season of Saregamapa has become so popular that well established artists are calling up themselves wanting to be a part of the show. Sukhvinder Singh himself called up Abhijeet to check if he could be a part of it.

Sukhvinder was totally in awe of the little kids. Abhijeet's (contestant) rendition on Rafisaab's immortal song Gulabi aankhen jo teri dekhi literally had Sukhvinder come up on the stage and dance with a scarf!

So captivated was he with the performances, that he himself wanted to test the kids on live singing. He asked them to sing all the toughest of his songs and was amazed to witness such power-packed kids.

Meanwhile, Friendship Day was celebrated on the sets of Zee TV's L'il Champs. The best thing that could have happened was that finally Abhijeet and Alka Yagnik, known for their nok jhok, made peace. Alka opened her mysterious wooden box and gave Abhijeet a white rose, a new pair of spectacles and a friendship band and sorted all their differences. Abhijeet, instead of pouring a lota full of water, showered a lota full of rose petals on Alka. It was a sight to behold!
