Excited
about

Bollywood

mentor
Amaal

a

that
encapsulates
the
beautiful
message
of
a
friendship,
where
if
you
have
your
friends

Lisa,
Aastha
and
I
had
a
blast
creating
this

with
the

who
have
brilliantly
performed
not
just
to
deserve
the
win
but
also
to
embark
on
their
journey
of
success
with
this
song.”
Sharing
her
experience,
show
mentor
and
popular
singer
Aastha
Gill
said,
“The
meaning
of
Saath
Ho
Tera
symbolizes
the
love
that
I
got
from
my
family
and
support
of
my
team
because
without
them
I
wouldn’t
have
made
this
far.
I
wish
I
had
got
this
kind
of
platform
and
opportunity
as
this
show
and
its
winners
have
received
with
Saath
Ho
Tera.
The
quality
of
music
produced
by
participants
was
of
the
highest
caliber.”
Mentor
Lisa
Mishra,
known
for
her
reprise
version
of
the
song
Tareefan
from
Veere
Di
Wedding,
said,
“We
shot
the
first
season
during
the
pandemic
so,
the
experience
of
Season
2
was
even
more
joyous
as
we
all
got
the
opportunity
to
come
together
and
make
music,
memories
and
witness
the
sheer
talent
of
contestants.
The
outcome
of
this
beautiful
journey
is
Saath
Ho
Tera,
a
song
composed
by
Amaal
Malik
and
sung
by
contestants
which
is
surely
some
of
his
best
work
&
one
of
my
favorite
songs.”
