Playback singer Neeti Mohan, who serves as a judge on the singing reality show ‘Sa Re Ga Ma Pa’, was left teary-eyed because of contestant Kartik Kumar Krishnamurthy as he gave a deeply moving performance on the song ‘Maa Meri Maa’ during the ‘Family Special’ episode.

Kartik hails from Chennai and has the medical condition of autism because of which he struggles with communication and understanding people. Simple everyday tasks can be daunting for him.

However, during the course of the episode, Kartik, who hadn’t spoken with his mother in 27 years due to his inability to speak, found a way to express his love and emotions to her through his first original song, ‘Maa Meri Maa’.

Composed by Rathijit Bhattacharjee and penned by Ravikesh Vatsa, the composition is a tribute to Kartik’s unwavering source of strength—his mother, and is a profound message from Kartik to her.
