Sara Raza Khan, a Sa Re Ga Ma Pa Challenge 2009 participant from Lahore, has laid down some ground rules for the producers of the show. She has said that she will participate in the show only if she isn’t asked to wear revealing outfits. Also Pakistani contestant refuses to say ‘Har har Mahadev’ or wear sleeveless dresses on music reality show. Sara confirms the news and says, “Ammijaan was a nervous wreck and was not very keen to send me to Mumbai, particularly because of the kind of clothes the women need to wear in front of the camera.”

Says an insider from Zee TV, “It’s true that girls are made to wear sexy outfits on shows. The glamour quotient is important. Today’s girls have no problems, but there was an issue when we finished with the audition of Sara. She is a fine singer and we selected her, but she said that she will not indulge in body exposure.” Sara adds, “I am not going to wear any sleeveless outfits or short dresses. And I will never drop the dupatta while doing the show. I must add that the scene is different in Pakistan; there people don’t appreciate someone singing in reality shows. Though gradually they are coming around.”
