In a throwback video from the show, we see Mann cracking a joke about politics. He said, "I asked a politician what rajneeti (politics) means. He told me it is the act of deciding how to govern. Then I asked what gormint (government) means. He said it means those who gaur (look closely) at each issue only to forget it a mint (minute) later." As soon as Bhagwant cracked the joke, judge Navjot Singh is heard bursting into laughter. Take a look!

It must be noted that no one had imagined the clip would gain a whole new layer of irony years later. As per the current election results, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has gained a majority in the state of Punjab and will form the next government. Bhagwant Mann, who was the chief ministerial face of the party in the state, is all set to become the next chief minister of Punjab. Meanwhile, Navjot Singh Sidhu, who now heads the Congress in Punjab, will have to prove himself all over again.
