During the interaction, Rajeev asked Poonam what she would do with the prize money if she won. Poonam shared that she planned to renovate her kitchen. Curious, Rajeev asked whether she would buy something for her husband instead. In a beautiful revelation, Poonam explained that the renovation itself was for her husband, as he is the one who cooks every day.

Adding to the exchange, Poonam’s husband shared that he also keeps the fast of Karwa Chauth for his wife, saying, “365 din mein ek hi din aata hai, ek din toh sacrifice kar sakta hai har husband apni wife ke liye.” His gesture drew applause from the audience and highlighted the couple’s mutual respect and love.

Rajeev, moved by their story, opened up about his own life, saying, “Aap har roz inke liye khana banate hain, aur main bhi har roz apni wife ke liye chai banata hoon.

Reflecting on the moment, Rajeev remarked, “I think bahut kam ladies aisi hoti hongi jo shayad is mukaam tak pahunch paati hain apni life mein, jahan par husband actually ek sofa pe baith ke yeh bole, main har roz uske liye khana banata hoon, aur aane wale saalon tak poore jeevan mein uske liye khana banana chahunga.”
