Exclusive: My mother worked hard on farms to earn money for my tickets to Mumbai, reveals Sa Re Ga Ma Pa Li'l Champs winner Gauri Pagare

The Sa Re Ga Ma Pa Little Champs 202 recently concluded with a spectacular musical showdown, showcasing outstanding talents competing for the prestigious title. In a thrilling finale, Gauri Alka Pagare emerged as the season's winner. In an exclusive interview with ETimes TV, Gauri shared her emotions post victory. She opened up about her mother's dedicated efforts, working on the farms to book tickets for their journey to Mumbai. Gauri graciously credited her success to the judges of the show and expressed heartfelt gratitude to everyone involved.

Gauri is on cloud 9 since she has won the title of the show. She said, "I can't describe my happiness. Everyone is happy and I am also happy seeing the happiness and big smiles on everyone's faces. I am really happy whenever I realize that I have won the show despite many obstacles and a tough journey."

When asked about what is the thing that made Gauri win the show, she said, "I have not taken any training from anyone. I have learned music by watching videos and songs on my mobile phone. My financial condition is not that good enough to afford classical or music training. I would listen to songs on my phone and practice them at home. I can't believe that despite such a situation I have lifted the trophy of the season."

Gauri further recalled the struggle of her mother to send her to Mumbai for the auditions. She said, "My mother works on farms. She knew how much I love singing so she would work extra hours to earn money. She worked hard to send me to Mumbai. I am indebted to her always."

Gauri also gave the credit of her victory to Vaishali Made who changed her name on the show. Gauri said, "Vaishali tai is like my mother. She changed my name on the show and announced that I would be known as 'Gauri Alka Pagare'. She supported me so much throughout the season. She also gave me a Tanpura which I didn't even know how to play."

Gauri later revealed where she is going to utilize her winning amount. She said, "I have won 1.5 lakh and I am now going to utilize the amount for my education. I have also decided to take proper classical training."
