Episode 5 - Guests: Irfan and Yusuf Pathan


Theme: Sibling Rivalry


The guests for this topic were the Pathan brothers namely Irfan and Yusuf Pathan. The whole point of the episode was to put this forward to the viewers that how in spite of being in the same profession these two brothers are so well bonded. The closeness and rapport that they share came across very clearly with lots of anecdotes from childhood. They also played a game called 'Do Ankhen Do Haat' where one brother had to describe an object and the other had to draw it without seeing the same. In their case it was a bus and stilletoe.

The Main Hoon Na section had twin brother duo by the name of Aman and Ankit who came and spoke about their childhood memories and told us how closely bonded they are. Yusuf got a bat and Irfan a helmet for the auction.
