Indian Jews nearly 4,000 of whom turned up to see their favourite
stars from the Sa Re Ga Ma Pa.
India’s
Ambassador to Israel Arun Kumar Singh mentioned that, this event
was a very important link between India and Israel. He appreciated
the efforts of Zee TV Asia Pacific and the organizer Mr. Benny Binyamin
(RT&T) for whom he said - “You are a very important link
between India and Israel. This event clearly shows the strong sentimental
attachment you have for India even after getting completely integrated
into the Israeli society,” For Zee he mentioned - “You
are a very important element in the strengthening relations between
the two countries” This event marked 15 years of diplomatic
ties between the two countries.
The
overwhelming crowd is not so surprising given the popularity of
‘Sa Re Ga Ma Pa’ here. People know all these participants
and followed the 2007 challenge very closely. At the venue the beach
was transformed into a ‘mini-chaupati’ as Indian music
reverberated the air and stalls of Bhelpuri, Papri Chaat and other
snacks seen all around.
