Hero Honda Sa Re Ga Ma Pa Challenge 2005 was a reality series, an extension of the famous Sa Re Ga Ma Pa programme that was first aired in 1995 on Zee TV. With the new "Challenge" series, Zee TV brought 48 potential singers that are living in India.
The process had started with elimination rounds by the four mentors: Aadesh Shrivastava (Baghban fame), Himesh Reshammiya (Tere Naam & Aashiq Banaya Aapne fame), Jatin-Lalit (Pehla Nasha fame) and Ismail Darbar (HDDCS fame). The mentors picked one girl and one boy amidst 4 boys and 4 girls who took part during the course of six weeks. Through this, 16 contestants out of the 48 were eliminated. The 32 remaining contestants consisted of 16 boys and 16 girls.
Neeta Pandey, Nakash Aziz, Manjeera Ganguly, Paresh Madhaparia, Joyeeta Sen, Mukesh, Shoumi Roy, and Rajeev Thapa competed. Joyeeta, Manjeera, Paresh, and Nakash were selected. Paresh was given a yes from all 4 teams while Rajeev and Nakash got 3. The other contestants broke the tie and voted in favor of Nakash. Joyeeta got a yes from all 4, while Manjeera got 3.
Sagar Sawarkar, V. Hemabindu, Vishwas Rai, Banjyotsna, Sharib Sabri, Prachi Singla, Hemachandra, and Jolly competed. Hemabindu and Banjyotsna got a yes from all 4 each, meaning they both advanced. Hemachandra advanced with a unanimous approval. Vishwas and Sharib tied with 3, and so all contestants voted, and it was still a tie. Eventually, the musicians were asked to vote, and they picked Sharib.
Shivani, Niladri Debnath, Rimi Dhar, Nanu Gurjar, Nihira Joshi, Akhilesh Tiwari, Swananda Karmarkar, and Kaushik Deshpande competed. Nihira and Swananda got a yes from all 4, automatically qualifying them for the Top 32. Niladri and Nanu also got 4 yes votes, qualifying them as well.
