Rakhi Sawant and Elesh Parujanwala More Pics

After Rakhi ka Swayamvar comes Pati, Patni Aur Woh, where television's 'it' couple Rakhi Sawant and Elesh Parujanwala will take on the task of bringing up kids. And, what do you know, the drama has already begun!

Rakhi and the audience may be used to her infamous low-cut blouses, but obviously, the bachchas aren't. And, as a source present at the launch of the programme told us, one baby couldn't help but explore the territory! Embarrassing? You bet!

Knowing Rakhi, there'll be more drama in store! Besides Rakhi and Elesh, the show stars four other couples from tellyland. The stars include television's Ram and Sita Gurmeet Chaudhary and Debina Bonnerjee, happily married couple Shilpa Saklani and Apurva Agnihotri, on screen favorites and off screen newly-weds Juhi Parmar and Sachin Shroff and the scorching Mouni Roy and Gaurav Chopra.

The couples are all young, rich, famous and in love. And now they are ready to take their relationship to the next level. But will they survive the experience? This new show will remove five unique celebrity couples from their glamorous lives and thrust them into the 'real' world where they will become parents!

Pati, Patni Aur Woh is an adaptation of the hit international format by Love Productions called Baby Borrowers and will be produced by BBC Worldwide Productions India.
The show allows these couples to go through the challenging, frustrating but rewarding experience of parenthood — from infancy to adolescence.

The couples will spend an entire month in a closed environment, monitored by cameras 24X7 which will capture their journey as they embark on a new life of discovery as first time parents.

Their journey will be divided into five stages, starting with pregnancy, when the women will be made to wear empathy bellies similar to that of a woman who is 8 months pregnant and will have to attend pre-natal classes.

Then, a newborn baby will be handed over to the couples and they will have to take care of its every need, including feeding, changing nappies and erratic sleep schedules. The toddlers come in next, with their own set of demands and tantrums. Then come the pre-teens and teenagers, in the rebellious years when parents need to learn how to discipline children, without alienating them. Life comes a full circle with the arrival of the elderly and the couples will need to show maturity and understanding in dealing with them.

The children taking part in the show are infants, toddlers, pre-teens and teenagers drawn from real life. Their parents will be behind the scenes 24x7, monitoring their child and the couple, through the cameras, in close proximity.

Throughout the series the couples will continue to live their everyday lives - just like the rest of us. They will have to fulfill the many social and professional obligations that come with parenthood - from entertaining relatives, in- laws and guests to performing ceremonies and taking part in other activities like parties and picnics and of course ensuring that the kids finish their homework!

And all this without the help from nannies, house help or their parents and operate within a limited middle-class budget.

Announcing the launch of this unique show, Shailja Kejriwal, EVP Content, NDTV Imagine said, "This is as real as it gets! With Pati, Patni Aur Woh, audiences will see these famous couples in real life situations and be part of their first journey into parenthood; sharing their joys, sorrows, trials and achievements. We believe that the show will not only resonate with all audiences and will also be a great fun experience for the younger generation, who plan to start their own families in the future. Patni, Patni Aur Woh promises to be an emotional rollercoaster through many unique situations, each handled differently by the various couples!"
