The most hit and famous on-screen
jodi of Ram and Sita, Gurmeet Choudhary and Debina Bonerjee are back on-screen
together with Pati Patni Aur Woh. With this show they finally reveal their
on-going relationship to the world.
What took you so long to reveal your
relationship?
Gurmeet: I thought that this is the right time to talk about
our four years of relationship to the world. Also, we wanted to shock the
audience that we are together.
Debina: I want to correct Gurmeet, we are
together since four and a half years, and are grateful to get the big break on
TV as Ram and Sita.
Why did you choose to do this show?
Gurmeet: It is a
unique concept and a new experience for us, where we have to take care of the
babies as their parents. Alongside there is no bitching or eating worm in the
show, as it is very clean. I hope people like us in this show as
well.
Debina: Gurmeet is very nice person and has always supported me, and
even in this show he will take all my tension by handling and taking proper care
of the baby.
Gurmeet: I don't know who will be handling the baby and who will
be taking care of the kitchen. All the BBC guys tease me, as I don't know how to
cook.
Debina: I have been telling him to learn cooking, but he is just not
listening. What if he will be given the task of cooking? Then it seems we will
be having jala (burn) khana in the show (grins). Or else, I had to teach him the
same on the show.
Have you any time dealt with infants or toddlers in your
real life?
Gurmeet: I haven't dealt much, but yes my brother has a smart and
cute little boy and I love him much. Also, my sister has a cute and pretty
looking daughter whom I adore much, but haven't dealt with them on daily basis,
as changing their nappies or cleaning their potty.
Debina: I haven't dealt
with kids so much beside the one in my show, Luv and
Kush, that also just for few hours.
Don't you think
that the condition of these infants and toddlers can create
controversies?
Gurmeet: I don't think so, as the production house will be
taking their real parents too, but the fact only remains that they will be
monitoring their child from the other room through CCTV. Also, there are
precautions and doctors available.
We have gone through medical and
psychological test to see to it that we don't hurt the little ones in any case,
and that, we will be able to handle the stress in any situation. Their parents
can intervene if they think that we are not able to handle their child
well.
Debina: We have gone thorough lots of medical test. They have taken 3
bottles of my blood. I am most scared of the needles, but then had no other
choice but to cry and do all the tests.
One thing you are looking and not
looking forward to, in the show?
Debina: For the first time we won't be
acting on-screen, this is what I am looking forward to. On the other hand, I
don't want to look forward for the jala hua khana from Gurmeet's
kitchen.
What do you expect, a girl or a boy child in the show?
Both:
There are no choices for us, but we don't mind parenting either of
them.
