Singer Debojit Saha, the winner of 'Sa Re Ga Ma Pa Mahayudh' has high regards for his mentor Ismail Durbar. When asked if he wished Himesh Reshammiya instead of Durbar trained him, he replied without any hesitation, "No, I never felt that way. I know Himeshji's songs are chartbusters currently and I appreciate his work. Whatever he touches turns to gold. People might think that because I am not from his gharana, I won't work with him, but that's a misconception. I'm not here to work only with one musician. My mentor is Ishmailji, but that will not restrict me from singing for Himeshji or any other musician."
