In an emotional and thought-provoking moment on the show On Tum Ho Naa, actor Rajeev Khandelwal shared a heartfelt exchange with contestant Poonam and her husband. The interaction beautifully highlighted the essence of shared responsibilities within a marriage, redefining conventional roles.
Redefining Marriage Roles
During the interaction, Rajeev asked Poonam what she would do with the prize money. She replied that she would renovate her kitchen. When he further inquired if she would buy something for her husband, Poonam explained that the renovation was for him, as he cooks every day.
Poonam’s husband then shared that he also observes the fast of Karwa Chauth for his wife. He said, “365 din mein ek hi din aata hai, ek din toh sacrifice kar sakta hai har husband apni wife ke liye.” This gesture received applause from the audience, showcasing the couple’s deep love and respect for each other.
Rajeev’s Personal Reflections
Moved by their story, Rajeev opened up about his own life. He shared, “Aap har roz inke liye khana banate hain, aur main bhi har roz apni wife ke liye chai banata hoon. Aapko pata hai, har roz subah garam paani deta hoon.” He emphasized that household duties should be shared, noting he would discuss this further later.
Rajeev appreciated Poonam’s gesture of spending the prize money to make the kitchen more comfortable for her husband, calling it a thoughtful and loving act. When asked about the special reason behind his daily cooking, the husband replied, “Meri life se mere mom-dad ke jaane ke baad, mera ghar jo sambhala hai, woh Poonam ne hi sambhala hai.”
A Heartfelt Conclusion
Reflecting on the moment, Rajeev remarked, “I think very few women reach a stage in life where their husband can sit comfortably and say, ‘I cook for her every day, and I want to keep cooking for her for the rest of my life.’” The segment left the audience inspired by the couple’s mutual care and respect.
