In the video from the show Backbenchers, host Farah Khan makes Raveena and Bharti write the word ‘Hallelujah.’ While Raveena writes it correctly, Bharti writes it as ‘Heleluya’. Bharti then calls it ‘Hille luya’ while she and Raveena both move their bodies to depict it.  Bharti then says that’s how it was written in Punjab. When asked what the word meant, Bharti said it was an expletive. She also stated that it was something newly married couples could use, for example, the husband could use to call his wife. She also said the three of them would go home and do ‘Heleluya.’ While that was till the time she did not know the meaning, when Farah told her that it was a word from the Bible that meant ‘Praise the Lord’, Farah and Bharti then said that ‘Pati parmeshwar hota hai’ (Husband is God) to repeat their previous expression and gesture and laugh.
