Pati Patni Aur Panga: Debina Bonnerjee and Gurmeet Choudhary stir things up on ‘Laughter Chefs' with Bengali food challenge; says 'For us Bengalis, food is an extension of our stories...'
Gurmeet Choudhary
dropped by with a heartfelt request and a whole lot of sweetness! Known as the couple goals, the duo lit up the stage with their charm, spoke about their upcoming reality show 'Pati Patni Aur Panga-Jodiyon Ka Reality Check', and brought a slice of Bengal to the most entertaining kitchen in India.
What followed was a celebration of flavour, fun, and fiery competition.
As Debina expressed her love for Bengali cuisine, she requested Chef Harpal Singh Sokhi to include a Bengali dish in the challenge, something that had only been featured once before on the show. True to his 'Atithi Devo Bhava' spirit, Chef Harpal said yes, and the kitchen lit up with the aroma of an iconic Bengali mithai, Fish-shaped Sondesh Kheer Kodom, becoming a battleground for creativity and chaos.
With the passion of a seasoned home chef and the pride of a Bengali daughter, Debina became the torchbearer of tradition, guiding the celebrity jodis with charm and chatter, peppered with Bengali anecdotes, tips, and hands-on demos. Gurmeet, beaming with pride, cheered her on like a true partner-in-crime. Adding their own spicy twist, Krushna Abhishek and Kashmera Shah cooked up an 'extra fish', hilariously declaring it a good-luck charm for Debina and Gurmeet's upcoming show 'Pati Patni Aur Panga'.
As the laughter rose and mithai melted hearts, the contestants served up a joy-drenched episode where flavours battled it out and bonds were baked anew. But in a kitchen where nothing is ever as simple as it seems, will the sweetest dish win, or will it all end in a fishy fiasco?
Talking about her experience on the show, Debina shared, 'Laughter Chefs is honestly one of our favourite shows to watch as a family. Gurmeet and I love the madness and warmth it brings—it feels like you're part of the fun even from your living room. When I realised Bengali cuisine had only been featured once, I just had to bring that up. For us Bengalis, food is an extension of our stories, emotions, and culture. I requested Chef Harpal to include a Bengali dish, and he agreed without hesitation! When he announced 'Fish-shaped Sondesh Kheer Kodom' as the challenge, I was thrilled.
What made it even more special was sharing our tradition with everyone on set. And now, with Pati Patni Aur Panga, this feels like the perfect start to the celebrations—we're bringing our real chemistry to your screens very soon!'

A similar story is about B-town's biggest villain, who was once a psychiatrist but then switched his profession to become an actor. While one may think that we are talking about a star of this era, the man in conversation is a star from Bollywood's yesteryears. This Man Was a Psychiatrist Before Becoming an Actor The actor we are discussing today is someone whose skills are not limited to Indian cinema, as there was also a time when he did TV serials and was loved for his roles.

CM Mamata Banerjee advocates promoting Bengali in films, TV serials
Kolkata, West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Thursday advocated the need to promote and cultivate the use of Bengali in film and TV productions in the state. CM Mamata Banerjee advocates promoting Bengali in films, TV serials Speaking at the 'Mahanayak Samman' award function on the death anniversary of matinee idol Uttam Kumar, the Banerjee said, "Sob bhasai bhalo, sob gaan bhaalo , but we must make serious effort in promoting our mother tongue and make the younger generation respectful towards our culture." She said, "Amidst the beautiful mosaic of different cultures in this country and the underlying message of unity in diversity, every state must cherish and protect its own spoken language and heritage. In West Bengal, we must protect our language and culture while being respectful to other languages." Asking everyone to give it a thought, the CM said, "My request to those who produce serials — not to confine themselves within Hindi while using songs in their episodes, but also use Bengali tracks. They have their wide reach all over the country. Can't we use the talent of our people who pen amazing lyrics in Bengali, who add tunes to such lyrics? We take pride in our culture, which has so much sweetness and emotion." Banerjee called upon the makers of TV soaps not to spread messages that promote violence, suicide, and other harmful themes in their "works for the sake of extending episodes indefinitely for TRP ratings," warning that such content can have an adverse effect on children. "I am not saying it has become the practice for everyone, as there are many others who tread a different path. Why can't we dish out content which talks about simple things, simple joys and pleasures in life, spread positive vibes instead of toxicity?" she added. "Give space to films made in other languages, but please give priority to Bengali works," she urged. The CM spoke about the joys of listening to the golden age of Bengali songs — by icons like Hemanta Mukhopadhyay, Shyamal Mitra, Sandhya Mukhopadhyay, Nirmala Mishra, among others. Paying tributes to the matinee idol, she said, "We have neither been able to forget Uttam Kumar after 45 years nor will we be able to in the future. He remains the evergreen matinee idol forever." Banerjee said Uttam Kumar had effortlessly lip-synced to the timeless playbacks in his films, and it is difficult to match his level among the next generation of actors. Ace director Goutam Ghosh was conferred the 'Mahanayak Srestha Samman' for his rich body of work spanning decades. Singers Rupankar Bagchi, Iman Chakraborty, Gargi Roychoudhury, production designer Ananda Adhya, and makeup artist Somnath Kundu were also conferred the 'Mahanayak Samman' for their contributions in their respective fields. "Giving this small recognition to Goutamda , an iconic director, on our part was overdue. Also, we are privileged to honour other personalities who have made the state proud," Banerjee said. Several prominent film personalities from Bengal, including Prosenjit Chatterjee and Dev, were among those present on the occasion.
