In a recent podcast, Aasif Khan revealed that he was washing dishes during Kareena Kapoor and Saif Ali Khan’s wedding. He was working as a kitchen help at the hotel where Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor got married. He was working as a waiter and also washed dishes at the establishment. As an aspiring actor, he asked his manager if he could meet the stars. However, his request was denied, and Aasif spoke about how it left him heartbroken because he couldn’t meet his favorite stars despite being so close to them.

ETimes rated the third season 3.5 out of 5 and wrote, “The third season of ‘Panchayat’ remains a riveting and gripping watch, delivering entertainment in abundance. Just when viewers wondered if the makers could pull off another surprise, they certainly did. Despite lacking a central plot, the series compensates with numerous parallel events that keep you invested.”
