She made panjiri for her in-laws and other members in the family. She shares, “It’s a traditional Punjabi sweet dish, which we make during a puja. It’s served as prasad. I am glad that everyone liked it. Eventually, I prepared a Maharashtrian sweet dish as well. It was a great mix of Punjabi and Maharashtrian dishes on the table.”
Sanket adds, “I am adapting to the new role of being a doting and responsible husband. I have promised Sugandha to be the best version of it.”
