What began as a fun game on the reality show Pati Patni Aur Panga soon turned into an emotional moment that left everyone on set teary-eyed. During a Jenga-based truth or dare challenge, actress Rubina Dilaik was dared to convince someone from the audience to let her give them a haircut. One woman, initially agreeing to just a small trim, ended up making a heartwarming decision that deeply moved everyone present.
Just as Rubina was about to snip her hair, the woman revealed that she had been planning to donate her hair to cancer patients. Inspired by the moment, she decided to cut her hair up to shoulder length instead. Her act of kindness instantly touched hosts Sonali Bendre and Hina Khan, both of whom are cancer survivors.
Holding the cut strands, Hina grew emotional and shared, “You have no idea how much happiness this can bring to someone. Every day I wear a wig, it once belonged to someone too.” Sonali, equally moved, told the woman, “You look beautiful right now, but your heart is even more beautiful.”
Sonali Bendre, who battled metastatic cancer in 2018, and Hina Khan, who revealed her Stage 3 breast cancer diagnosis in 2024, have both openly spoken about their recovery journeys. Their heartfelt reactions on the show reminded viewers of the strength and empathy that comes with surviving such challenges.
The show, hosted by Sonali Bendre and Munawar Faruqui, features celebrity couples like Rubina Dilaik–Abhinav Shukla, Hina Khan–Rocky Jaiswal, Swara Bhasker–Fahad Ahmed, and others. Pati Patni Aur Panga streams on JioHotstar and airs on Colors TV.
