Oh, she was very beautiful. When I called her Santosh the first time, my producer sent me a message on the computer -- to call her Mrs Sharma.

I didn't think she minded me calling her Santosh -- I call my mother-in-law sexy. It's an attitude you have that, look, we are here to have fun. You have your everyday humdrum life where you do just keep doing what you do everyday and here you've come out for an hour and you get entertained.

She was a 70-year-old lady, I assume, or 70 plus and you have this guy who is calling her Santosh with a lot of love and humour and fun (laughs). She was very sporting; she blew kisses at me. I told her you should also teach your daughter (Rachna, pictured) to be relaxed. She said abhi use kya sikhayen (what can I teach her now)? She was very sweet.

What happens when you are asked for a date on national television?

I think it is an extension of the fun I have with people. I don't think any of them thinks it seriously or says it seriously. As a matter of fact, as strange as it may sound, I have never been asked for a date seriously by anyone even in real life (laughs).

To me, it's like... I find it unreal and funny (laughs). I just think, okay, they are doing it because I say such nice things to them so they are being nice to me also.

Of course, I can't go for a date. I don't get dates to spend with my own kids (laughs) so a date is out of the question.
