While reading the messages, the host learned about the importance of Preeti’s house help, Rajni. He was shocked that Preeti pampers her house help Rajni more than her husband.Preeti then asked host Mr Bachchan if his wife, Jaya Bachchan, ever scolds him for coming home late after shoots. Big B says, “Dekhiye deviji humko pata tha kya hone waala hai toh humne ek nayi technology shru kar di. Subah uthte he joh humara parivaar hai un sabke naam likhe hain contacts mein so ek group ban gaya hai, unko main Pehle he likh deta hoon pranaam, namaskar, prathanayein. Haath jodne waala emoji laga denge, phir phool bhej denge. Uske baad main likh deta hoon main jaa raha hoon kaam par, humara shooting hai idhar udhar aur aaj mein bahot der ke baad aaunga, toh khane par intezaar mat karna. Toh who kahana waana kha lete hain. Woh bolte hain aapne he toh bola tha..khana kha lo toh main bach jaata hoon. Pehle se bata dena bahot awashyak hai.”(Look, ma’am, I knew what was coming, so I started using a new technology. Every morning, I message my entire family on a group chat. I first send them ‘Pranaam, Namaskar, Prarthnayein,’ along with folded-hands and flower emojis. Then I tell them, ‘I’m leaving for work, I have a shoot here and there, and I’ll be coming home very late today, so don’t wait for me for dinner.’ They then have their dinner. If they say, ‘But you were the one who told us to eat,’ then I’m saved. It is very important to inform them in advance.)He added, “Lekin maan lijiye maine nahi bataya, toh phir padegi phir. Aapne toh bataya nahi, ye koi waqt hai aane ka, kya kar rahe the aap? “Main bolta hoon, bhaiya KBC mein der hogayi”, who bolti hain KBC kya hota hai? Hum log yahan baithe hue hain bhuk lagi hai khana nahi khaya hai.. Toh hum unko bol dete the hain wait mat kiya kijiye khana kha liya karo. So woh apna khana waana khaa kar sone chali jaati hain agar zyaada late hojaata hai..Hum aake chup chaap khana kha lete hain..”(But if I forget to inform them, then I get scolded. She says, ‘You didn’t tell us. Is this a time to come home? What were you doing?’ I tell them, ‘I got late at KBC.’ Then she says, ‘What is KBC? We are sitting here hungry and haven’t eaten.’ So I tell them not to wait for me and to have their dinner. If it gets too late, she eats and go to sleep, while I come home and quietly have my dinner.)Preeti also spoke about how domestic helpers play an important role in keeping everyday life running smoothly and host Amitabh Bachchan agreed with her.Preeti incorrectly answered the Rs 7,50,000 question and managed to take home Rs 5,00,000 in the show.
