India ka favourite REAL-ationship reality show COLORS’ ‘Dhamaal With Pati Patni Aur Panga’ concluded its dhamakedar debut season tonight with Rubina Dilaik and Abhinav Shukla winning as the Sarvagun Sampann jodi! Emerging as one of the top reality television blockbusters of the year, the show not only added to COLORS’ iconic non-fiction legacy, it supercharged it, lighting living rooms up with the age-old shaadi ka laddoo. Hosted by Bollywood queen Sonali Bendre and stand-up star Munawar Faruqui, COLORS’ Dhamaal with Pati Patni Aur Panga presented by Nivea Body Milk, Co-Powered by Sugar Free Green, Cadbury Dairy Milk, Pour Home Air Fresheners, Envy Perfumes, L’Oréal Paris Hyaluron Pure, and Amazon Great Indian Festival, special Partners Colgate and HDFC Life, gatecrashed straight into the world’s most sacred, yet unpredictable institution – shaadi, and the viewers happily became part of the baraat, week after week.
Throughout the season, this unique show exploded into the houses of audiences full-throttle, with a can’t-stop-watching rollercoaster of masti, mayhem, and marriage magic. Seven celebrity jodis opened the doors to their hearts and homes, taking on challenges that highlighted the real, ridiculous and romantic push-and-pull of sharing a life with your forever person. Ultimately culminating in a big fat Indian wedding like grand finale. The jodis decked up as dulha-dulhan, ready to renew their vows in a spectacular milan of emotions and vidai of egos, leaving the audience with goosebumps and moist eyes. After three months of fiery competition, surprising twists, emotional breakthroughs, and a whole lot of dhamaal, Rubina Dilaik and Abhinav Shukla earned the title, proving that compatibility is not about having things in common, but about completing each other.
For those who have followed them over the years, Rubina and Abhinav returning to television as a jodi felt like a full-circle moment, while revealing an unseen side to them. In her trademark sass, Rubina joked that “engineers mein sabse poor quality ka romance hota hai,” taking a playful dig at her husband. But episode after episode, India watched Abhinav consistently and adorably disprove her with his thoughtful gestures. Including a birthday bag he bought her during a tough financial phase – a moment that made the viewers collectively go “aww”. With their chemistry, honesty, humour, and heart all aligning, the Pati-Patni duo aced the final hurdles, lifting the trophy as the sarvagunn sampann jodi.
Winners of the show, Rubina and Abhinav, jointly said, “Dhamaal With Pati Patni Aur Panga was a superb way for us to spend time together without life rushing by us. As a couple, we’re far from perfect, and we, along with other couples, were very candid about our blind spots, and that was super liberating. Winning this trophy is extremely special; it’s the result of all the love we’ve received from the viewers and the supportive spirit of every couple who made this journey so much fun. We want to thank COLORS and the makers of this show for creating a space that was honest, warm, and full of heart. Our deepest gratitude to Sonali ma’am and Munawar for their love, gentleness, humour, and guidance. And to the audience, thank you for pampering us like we’re your own family. If there’s one thing we hope our journey reminds people of, it’s this: Love is not about being flawless. It is about choosing each other over everything else, even on the days it feels hardest.”
