Patni,Patni Aur Woh promises to be an emotional rollercoaster through many unique situations,each handled differently by various couples!”

“Baby Borrowers is a unique and highly entertaining format with a social experiment at its heart. It is undoubtedly one of the most interesting reality formats on the market and makes for compelling viewing,packed with tears and tantrums,as much from the couples as the little ones! I am sure Baby Borrowers will translate well to the Indian market with Pati,Patni Aur Woh’s exciting mix of celebrity glamour and real life drama,” adds Saul Nassé,General Manager and Creative Head of BBC Worldwide Productions India.

About the programme format,it will shoot parenthood,from infancy to adolescence. The couples will spend an entire month in a closed environment,monitored by cameras 24X7,and this journey will be divided into five stages: pregnancy,infants,toddlers,pre-teen and teenagers,and the elderly.

From wearing empathy bellies,attending pre-natal classes,handling a new born baby,running around with toddlers,surviving the teens and coming full circle with arrival of the elderly to entertaining relatives and guests,performing ceremonies,organizing parties and picnics,getting homework done,the couples have to deal with some real trying. And all this without any help from nannies,servants or parents! Some reality bite,haan!
