I hear that all the time from wifey, except she uses "unakku" and not the polite "ungalakku".

ha hahah Unni ungalukku - is a typical respect-ful way of addressing.. I guess it might reduce the endearment there

that is why she says unakku..(well it will also make u feel younger

)
jaise tum aur aap
