Actress Hina Khan, who married long-time beau Rocky Jaiswal earlier this year, can now be spotted with him on the reality show Pati Patni Aur Panga. The recent episode introduced the mothers-in-law of the couples, and through them, the fans had a chance to listen to their favorite stars from their family members’ mouths. Hina’s mother-in-law, in fact, expressed some frank opinions regarding her new daughter-in-law.
Rocky taunted that his mom is more apprehensive around Hina than he is. His mom concurred with a laugh, relating that she loves Hina dearly but it is not always a piece of cake to live with her. She described how Hina does not cook and while she hardly spends time in the kitchen, she is quick to criticize her cooking. Smiling, she conceded, “She has her idiosyncrasies, but actually, at home, nobody really dares to quarrel with her.”
Looking back at Hina’s most famous role in Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai, her mother-in-law recalled watching her play the ideal daughter-in-law on television. At that time, she would often pray to have a daughter-in-law just like the character Akshara. “I did get a daughter-in-law like her, but she isn’t as traditionally ‘sanskari’ as the one she played on TV,” she said warmly. “Nevertheless, she is the soul of our family, and we can’t even think of our lives without her.”
Host Munawar Faruqui, who was facilitating the discussion, jumped in to correct that what Hina’s mother-in-law actually meant to say was that Hina, though very loved and admired at home, doesn’t look like the extremely traditional character she played on TV.

Hina initially became popular in 2009 with Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai, which ranks among the longest running TV programs in Indian television history. It was on this same set that she met Rocky Jaiswal, then a member of the behind-the-scenes crew. Theirs evolved from a friendship into a romance, and the two couple made their relationship official in 2017.
