Maryโs expression changed, and Kapil quickly noticed that she was getting angry. Adding on to that he told Mary, โDonโt be angry,โ. Replying to that Mary said, โNo, I am not, I have never been angry but now, you are enraging me. Youโve been pulling my leg,โ she added.
Archana teased her by saying, โShow him how angry you can be, Mary,โ as Kapil Sharma attempted to soothe her.
