Munawar Faruqui
, her married life with
Goldie Behl
, and her experience working with the participating couples.
Speaking about hosting the show with Munawar, Sonali said, "I'm really enjoying doing the show but I won't deny the fact that there is a lot of stress involved as well! Munawar is already familiar with this type of format, but for me, it's all new.
He's so quick and sharp with his wit that I just wonder will I be able to keep up? This entire experience is more like a challenge rather than just another assignment. But you know what? I love challenges! So I am going all out.
Fingers crossed not only will the audience enjoy the show, but I hope they enjoy me in this new role too."
Sonali, who has been married to filmmaker Goldie Behl for the last 13 years, spoke about the 'panga' she faces in her married life, "No marriage is ever complete without little 'pangas.'

Every relationship has them. Earlier, I used to get scared thinking 'Oh God, we're fighting!' But now I know there's something enjoyable about making up later. In fact, now I initiate the fights sometimes because even that's fun! These pangas don't always require a trigger outside; they just happen naturally between a husband and wife.
It's part of the charm of the relationship. When both people can laugh about these things and find them sweet moments, it creates such a beautiful twist to the marriage.
But yes, if things go on for too long, it's not healthy. In our show, you'll see that same lovey-dovey banter and sweet pandemonium among couples."
The actress further revealed about the reason behind taking up the show, "I'm meeting the whole crew of this show for the first time, and I have to say that it's a breath of fresh air. The world, and this industry, are transforming at such a rapid rate. What intrigued me about this idea was its fundamental faith in the institution of marriage. That was the first thing I asked the creators: 'Do you really believe in marriage?' Because I do.
I believe that when couples experience the ups and downs, having someone to stand by you every step of the way that feeling of companionship is priceless," she concluded.

For the unversed, Sonali first met Goldie, son of director Ramesh Behl, on the sets of her 1994 film 'Naaraaz'. The couple tied the knot on November 12, 2002, in Mumbai. In 2005, the couple was blessed with a son. Meanwhile, Sonali recently shared her views on the dramatic shift in relationships and society after the emergence of the internet. She pointed out how generational changes are taking place at a much faster pace in recent times, redefining the way people connect and interact. Speaking with IANS, Sonali shared, "The change is huge! In our time, a generation would change every 20-25 years. Now it feels like it changes every three years. Everything has turned upside down. The internet has transformed how people live and connect." Talking about the younger generation's fast-paced approach to love, marriage, and divorce, she added that giving advice to today's youth is often pointless, as they feel they already know everything. "I don't think anyone can really advise youngsters, and those who try usually fail (smiles). They believe they know everything. They have Google and ChatGPT – every answer is at their fingertips," Sonali concluded.
