“Abhinav took 9 Months to respond to my proposal” – Rubina Dilaik opens up on grand premiere of COLORS’ ‘Pati Patni Aur Panga’

Just when you think you’ve seen every shade of couple drama under reality TV’s spotlight, COLORS is ready to stir the pot with a fresh twist. The channel’s much-awaited reality show ‘Pati Patni Aur Panga – Jodiyon Ka Reality Check’ is all set to hit television screens, and it’s already creating a buzz ahead of its launch. At the centre of the excitement are Bigg Boss favourites Rubina Dilaik and Abhinav Shukla, who will be seen baring their hearts and quirks in the premiere episode.

In the very first episode, Rubina will be seen sharing a hilarious yet endearing story about how her proposal to Abhinav broke every textbook rule of romance. On the morning of January 1st, as she rang in the new year, Rubina decided to take a leap of faith and tell Abhinav that she wanted to grow old with him. However, what followed will be far from the dramatic, sweeping response one might expect. In a candid moment on the show, Rubina will be seen talking about this offbeat exchange that kickstarted their journey as life partners, a moment that may not be cinematic, but is deeply reflective of their real, grounded relationship.

*Recounting their proposal moment, Rubina says,* _”On the first day of the new year, fresh out of the shower, I looked at Abhinav and said, ‘I want to grow old with you.’ He paused… and just said ‘Thank you.’ Bas, that was it. For months, I kept wondering if that was a no or a maybe. And then one fine day, out of nowhere, after almost 9 months, he says, ‘Me too.’ That was his answer to my proposal, nine months later. That’s just how we are — thoda hatke, thoda unpredictable, but very real. Our biggest panga is our difference of opinion. He’s all logic and science, I’m full emotion and creativity. But maybe that’s what makes us click.”_

Pati Patni Aur Panga, hosted by Sonali Bendre and co-hosted by Munawar Faruqui, will offer an unfiltered look at what makes relationships work — from small everyday victories to disagreements and dilemmas. The show will celebrate love in all its authenticity, showcasing celebrity couples as they navigate games, challenges, and heart-to-heart conversations that bring out their real dynamics.
