Dhamaal With Pati Patni Aur Panga’ turns into a celebration of old-school romance as Sudesh Lehri takes his wife, Mamta out on a long-overdue date. Who says romance fades with time? On the show, the veteran comedian proved that love only gets better with age. In one of the most heartwarming moments of the show so far, Sudesh took his wife, Mamta, out on a proper date for the first time in their 40 years of marriage!
After four decades of companionship packed with laughter, love, and countless punchlines, Sudesh decided it was time to make up for lost quality time and the show set the stage for this adorable chapter. From shy glances to playful banter, the couple’s chemistry had everyone, from the hosts Sonali Bendre and Munawar Faruqui to the other celebrity jodis, cheering them on. Sudesh, known for his impeccable comic timing, turned his charm all the way up, while Mamta, graceful and grounded, matched him beat for beat. The result was a mix of giggles, nostalgia and tender moments that melted hearts on set.
Mamta Lehri goes for her first date
Talking about the moment, Sudesh said, “Forty years… that’s how long it took me to take Mamta out on a proper date! Mamta and I quite literally grew up together; we didn’t even know the concept of going on a date. We got married first, and love came into the equation later. The early years of our marriage were all about getting to know each other, building a home, and raising our kids. In the hustle and bustle of settling down and chasing dreams, we never really experienced this ‘new mode’ of spending quality time, just dressing up and going out on a date. Today, there’s so much more we respect and appreciate in each other. It felt right to be planning a first date after four decades of marriage. We thank ‘Dhamaal With Pati Patni Aur Panga’ for giving us a beautiful memory and proving that romance has nothing to do with age.”
Sudesh Lehri on wife Mamta sharing the screenspace together
Earlier, Sudesh Lehri had made a heartfelt revelation about his wife Mamta sharing screen with him for the first time in 40 years, “After 40 years of marriage, my wife finally came to the set — but for her own show! In all my years in the entertainment industry, I must have told Mamta a hundred times, ‘Come to the set once, see how we work.’ Every single time, she’d smile and say, ‘Next time,’ insisting that I take the kids along with me. Well, that ‘next time’ turned out to be Pati Patni Aur Panga. Not only is this her television debut, but it’s also the very first time she has seen the magic of a shoot up close. And she’s not just visiting me on set, she’s working with me! This show has given me many surprises, but having my wife along with me tops the list.”
