EXCLUSIVE: Vishal Vashishtha on working with Ayushmann Khurrana in Pati Patni Aur Woh Do, “It was a wonderful experience”
PATI PATNI AUR WOH DO is the story of a husband in a dilemma. Prajapati Pandey (Ayushmann Khurrana) is a forest officer living in Prayagraj with his wife, Aparna (Wamiqa Gabbi), a passionate journalist. Nilofer Khan (Rakul Preet Singh) is Prajapati’s colleague and best friend. One day, Prajapati’s college friend,... Chanchal Kumari (Sara Ali Khan), lands up in his office . Chanchal is in love with Sudhanshu Tiwari aka Sunny (Vishal Vashishtha), son of sitting MLA Gajraj Tiwari (Tigmanshu Dhulia). Chanchal belongs to a lower caste and hence, the two are dating in secret. Trouble arises when Sunny’s picture with burkha-clad Chanchal is splashed in a local newspaper. Gajraj is enraged and asks his men to find out who the girl in the burkha is. Sunny is planning to escape to Canada with Chanchal, but the procedure will take around 10 days. Gajraj’s men suspect that Chanchal might be the burkha-clad lady and start following her 24x7. With no other option, Chanchal and Sunny stop meeting each other. Hence, Chanchal asks Prajapati for help. Prajapati decides to fake an affair with Chanchal, hoping that the goons would then stop harassing her. He also makes it clear that he’ll inform Aparna about the plan. But before Prajapati can divulge the truth, Aparna excitedly tells him that it was she who leaked the photo of Sunny and Chanchal. She further confesses that Gajraj has promised to help her open her own news channel if she finds out the identity of the burkha-clad lady. As a result, Prajapati is unable to tell his wife the truth. He lies to her and starts meeting Chanchal, with both pretending to have an affair. Sadly, this proves costly for Prajapati. What happens next forms the rest of the film.
