Reality Check Game 1: Bid on Your Daughter-in-Law’s Talent
In this game, two teams of saas (mother-in-law) and bahu (daughter-in-law) competed against each other. The bahus demonstrated their skills in chopping onions, eating pani puri, and draping sarees, while the saas had to predict the number of pani puris their bahu would eat, the number of onions chopped, and the number of sarees draped on other women within the allotted time. The team whose predictions were closest to the actual result earned a point, and the team with the most points at the end of the game won a laddoo.
