Pati Patni Aur Panga promo: Munawar Faruqui roasts Rocky Jaiswal in a lighthearted moment; says, 'Gareeb aadmi apne man mein shaadi kar chuka hota hai'
Reality show Pati Patni Aur Panga is all set to entertain the audience with its unique concept and amazing line-up of contestants. A new promo of the show is out, unveiling fun, drama and a lot of lighthearted moments between the contestants. The recent promo shows how Munawar calls Rocky 'handsome' and later says he had to do so because it was written in the script. Both Munawar and Sonali Bendre leave no stone unturned to leave fans in splits. The promo begins with Munawar saying, 'Rocky handsome bhai kaise ho aap?' Rocky responds by saying, 'You're the second person ever to call me handsome (indicating Hina is the first one).' Hina then jokes, 'Aur meri majboori hai.' Munawar adds to the humour and says, 'Mere toh script mein likha tha bhai.' This leaves everyone in laughter. The promo goes ahead with Sonali asking how Rocky feels after getting married to one of the most popular television actresses. Rocky responds by saying that he got this feeling thirteen years ago itself. Munawar then roasts him by saying, 'Gareeb aadmi apne man mein shaadi kar chuka hota hai.' Soon after the promo was out, fans showered love in the comment section and expressed their excitement over the same. A user wrote, 'The show already looks so much fun and I can't wait to watch it omg.. Hina and Rocky look promising though.' Another user commented, 'Hahaha this is so funny, feeling bad for Rocky though.. can't wait to watch.' One more user added, 'Munawar is so funny.' In the grand premiere of Pati Patni Aur Panga, hosted by Sonali Bendre and co-hosted by comedy sensation Munawar Faruqui , the couple opened up about their love story. Rocky shared, 'If I could take her pain and make it mine, I would have done it in a second. But that's not possible, so I did the only thing I could: be there for her. For me, that was never a big thing. I love her, and being there for her was the easiest decision of my life. The truth is, no matter how close you are, you can never really know the extent of what it takes to fight what Hina was fighting. Even as a partner, you have limitations. You sit beside them, you hold their hand, but the battle was hers. Every day brings a new challenge, and every day they fight it with a courage that humbles you. But she refused to back down. I'm grateful that I get to wake up wanting to do better for her, because she deserves that and more. It's not about me or how I feel. It's about her — in sickness or in health, in pain or in love, in despair or in hope. It's only ever about her happiness and well-being.' Hina, on the other hand, said, 'I met Rocky more than a decade ago, but it still feels like it was only yesterday. Honestly, I never thought this is where life would take us. We met on the set of my first show, and when he came in, I didn't like him. But time has a way of changing things. Slowly, we started talking, and before we knew it, we were friends, sharing stories, laughing, and understanding each other without even realizing what was happening. Then one day, there was this hug… and it just felt different. That was the moment we knew. There were no proposals, no big words, just that feeling that this is it. What came after hasn't been easy. Life tested us in ways I never imagined. And through all of it, Rocky never left my side. He put everything — his work, his own health, his peace — behind just to make sure I was okay. That's not something you see every day. Most people walk away when things get hard, but he didn't.'

It looks like the new show Pati, Patni Aur Panga will bring a huge dose of entertainment and drama for the audience. Recently, Colors TV shared a promo of the upcoming show in which Munawar Faruqui and Rubina Dilaik were seen getting into an argument. It all started when the host Sonali Bendre asked Abhinav Shukla a question during a fun interaction. However, instead of Abhinav, Rubina jumped in to answer on his behalf. This left Munawar seemingly irritated, who then took a dig at Rubina and said, 'Sawal isse puch rahe hai, jawab ye madam de rahe hai." As Abhinav attempted to speak, Rubina started to mimic him. Munawar again interrupted and told Rubina, 'Are bolne toh do." Rubina also seemingly got irritated and responded by saying that Munawar could make her sit somewhere if he didn't want her to speak. The stand-up comedian gave a savage response: 'Chup rehne ka opposite baitna nahi hota hai. Khade reh kar bhi insaan chup reh sakta hai." What Is Pati Patni Aur Panga?
