Pati, Patni Aur Woh allows these five 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:
Pregnancy: 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.
Infants: A new born 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.
Toddlers: They come in next, with their own set of demands and tantrums.
Pre-teen and Teenagers: These are the rebellious years when parents need to learn how to discipline children, without alienating them.
The Elderly: Life comes 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 real life infants, toddlers, pre-teens and teenagers. 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 any help from nannies, house help or their parents and operate within a limited middle class budget. It’s time for our very special couples to realize… bachchu, life nahin hai ladoo. |
