Shanty, is this the way you fold? Please fold them neatly,
See, my watch tells me my date is about to reach Juhu in 15 minutes,
Brother, I'm off to enjoy my ice candy,
romance her, and caress her hair,
Continue caressing the ladies' clothes…
You can never woo a woman,
I’m older than you,
Talk respectfully, understood?
Brother Pradeep,
You focus on the ladies section, Leave the gentlemen's section to me,
Hey, Harry and Larry,
Tidy up the place, Clean the floor and close the store properly, okay!
Yes, sir,
I’ll take care of everything, Don’t worry, Good night,
I'm sure you will, Brother,
Hey, fold that one too,
Brother! I'll wear this,
Today is Jia’s birthday,
Come here,
Mend your ways or you'll be fired, Mark my words,
Well, today your wish isn’t going to be granted,
The one to fire me has left, I will leave too,
Continue caressing the ladies' clothes,
Don’t be late tomorrow,
Your eyes are really beautiful,
Give me something in return for the compliment,
My heart is burning with desire, Romila,
Don’t keep me away anymore, Take me in your arms,
Why do you need lipstick? You have such luscious lips,
Now it’s your turn,
Bye-bye, Brother,
Tidy up the place, Clean the floor and close the store properly, okay!
On this starry night…
-let our love and bodies become one, -Let our love and bodies become one,
Yes, Mother…
Yes, I was sleeping,
No matter how hard I try you always stand here with a rotten face,
Piece of shit!
Yes, sir, I told him but he is not listening,
Please talk to him,
Hello, Yes?
Oh, hello!
He’s addressing you as boss,
Now I am not a mind reader to know he was talking about you,
Son, you should have mentioned his name,
Yes, Yes, It’s ready!
Okay,
Yes, okay,
Hey, boy,
Bring the Delight material,
Yes, it’s ready,
How long has it been?
It’s been a while now,
What’s your name?
Pradeep,
Ah, there you go,
Carry it,
Me?
Who else? Me?
-Give my greetings to your boss, -All right,
Hey! Want to take a leak?
No,
-Are you in a hurry? -No,
Drive slowly then,
Hello! My hero! May God bless both of you with…
Sir, a female mannequin?
Mr, Gentlemen's Section! We have a season coming up or not?
Only having male mannequins will not do,
We sell ladies' wear too!
Women should know that we have a variety of stocks for them too,
-Okay? -Yes, sir,
Put something snazzy on her,
I’ll do it at once!
Let go of her hand,
Look after the gentlemen's section, I’ll do this,
Welcome to Delight Wear,
See you tomorrow,
You must be thinking, "We have met,"
"But he is so weird,"
"He has not even shared his name yet,"
Hi, I, myself Pradeep Lahoria from Gadarwara,
You’re from Mumbai, You may not know where Gadarwara is,
It’s in MP, It’s a nice place,
People are very nice too,
Forgive me, But in Mumbai people only talk about work,
In Gadarwara, people’s only work is to talk,
Sipping on tea, they savor the fragrance of life,
See you soon,
Have to get back to work, Bye,
What’s up? Looks like the gentlemen's section is not doing good business?
You drink your tea, I have customers to attend to,
Welcome, Would you like some tea or cold drinks?
Can I see the pink dress similar to the lady?
Yes, indeed beautiful, Please come, I’ll show you,
Enjoy your tea,
You must be thinking,
we have talked to each other and met,
He is so weird, Shared his name but never asked mine,
Your name must surely be Pari,
After all, you are as beautiful as an angel,
Take care of yourself,
See you,
I’ve to go now,
Sir, shall we put some jewelry on her?
I think it’s a waste of money,
Balance for variety?
Sir, 75,
I mean, bare wrists, bare neck, No earrings too,
Without jewelry, even the best outfit looks incomplete,
We have customers,
Window-shoppers, mostly,
We want more of them to buy,
The money spent should convert into sales,
So it’s a yes?
Look closely sir, it’s very good quality,
Show me something better,
Okay, come in, I’ll show you,
And I bought this watch with my own money,
Try as hard as you want, He will never look as good as her,
Jewelry,
You forgot the palazzo,
Next time,
One bag is free, While it's ten rupees for the other one,
Okay,
Tidy up the place, Clean the floors and close the store properly,
Thank you, sir,
Okay, brother,
Wait,
Now you’re all set,
You saw that, Pari? If you weren’t here, we wouldn’t have customers,
And without customers, I wouldn’t have gotten a bonus,
This calls for a celebration,
I know you won’t ask, But I must celebrate with you,
Thank you,
How come there's sand inside a shop?
You must have got it,
You frequent the Juhu beach,
On a date,
in new shirts,
Should I ask boss?
-No, -Sir--
I’ll clean it up now,
Sorry…
Four, One, two, three…
You beat me again!
You won’t let me go home today, is it?
You may say no if you wish,
Will he take mine?
What?
Can I tell you something? You look great in dark colors,
The man you choose would be so lucky!
What is this depraved behavior?
No, sir, I didn't mean that,
What did you mean?
You’re singing and dancing and fooling around with a mannequin!
I’m lonely--
So you do it with a mannequin?
Where was it yesterday?
-Nowhere, -What were you planning?
The usual,
-Not at all, -I'm sure he went
-to a cheap hotel, -What!
I swear, It’s not true,
With a mannequin?
Where are you getting such filthy ideas from?
This is our workplace, We respect it,
And here you are cavorting with a mannequin!
I will not do it again,
You can't, You're fired,
-Get out! -Sir, No, sir,
Sir, I’m begging you,
-Don’t fire me, -I’m calling the police,
-No, sir, -May I call the cops?
No, sir, It won’t happen again I swear on my mother,
You sure?
This is your last warning,
Don't even go close to the mannequin or the ladies section,
-If you do, I'll teach you a lesson! -Sorry, sir!
Mr, Romeo, How are you today?
Give me two minutes, Let me in…
Why is she dressed like this?
It’s normal clothes, I can’t help if you have a dirty mind,
Get a wedding lehnga,
We have clothes for unmarried women,
-They shop all year, -Won't you?
I had a lot of fun,
Sister-in-law was smiling, I think she likes me,
You son of a gun!
-Leave my collar! -What did you say?
-Let go! -Say it!
She'll wear skimpy ones,
-I will beat you to death, -Let go,
-Such an insolent man! -She'll flaunt a short skirt!
-You bugger! I’ll beat you to death, -You don’t have any manners,
-Hey, This is my store! -Tell him,
Look at him!
Have you lost your mind?
What's his fault?
What? This is a plastic doll, with no emotions!
Where are your brains?
Look, I’ve had enough of you, Leave now,
-Crazy idiot, get out! -Not a plastic doll, sir,
What are you staring at? Get out!
If I see you here again…
You should download Ludo,
When your mother is around, we'll play it,
She'd think you're playing Ludo,
-I’m going home, A month's rent, -Give me one…
I'm going home, One month's rent,
Are you crazy? Psycho!
Mother,
Pradeep?
Why are you panting?
Did you run all the way?
Look behind,
No, Auntie,
He was crawling himself here and I decided to speed him up,
-You will never change, -Never!
Okay, I am leaving now,
Such a prankster,
Who's this crazy girl?
Don’t you recognize your childhood friend? It's Sashi,
She’s all grown up now,
And so are you, my dear, Go freshen up,
You look as thin as a matchstick, Must be eating junk in Mumbai,
-You’ve lost weight too, -Yes, worrying for you,
I worry about you all the time, Whether you’re eating well,
Sleeping okay, What if you’ve fallen ill?
Mother, you shouldn’t worry,
Get someone who'd care for you, I'll stop worrying,
I, too, want my son to have a happy married life,
Don’t argue, Just eat,
Listen, Sashi’s mother keeps asking about you,
Remember? As kids, Sashi and you were inseparable,
Shall I speak to her folks?
Ever since he was a child you have known Pradeep’s good habits
and he doesn’t have bad ones, That's all,
That’s right, Have some sweets,
Look at these two!
As kids, they would chat for hours and now they’re so shy,
Go out, Speak it out,
No, it’s fine,
Please go,
-Shall we? -Yes, go,
You’ve changed! I couldn’t recognize you,
Yes, and you’re still the same, a silly-billy,
Won’t you ask me anything?
Okay then, I’ll ask,
Sell me this stole, You work at a fashion shop, right?
Show me?
Look at this, madam, It's 80% cotton and 20% polyester,
With block-print and embroidered borders,
It's around 1,000-1,2000 rupees online, Our offer is 800 only,
Tell me which color you want,
You are a very good salesman,
I was,
I got fired,
I haven’t told Mother yet,
But it’s important to tell you,
No relationship should begin with a lie,
If you’re still interested, you know where to find me,
So did your boss fire you?
You know those display mannequins in shops?
I used to talk to one of them,
I used to sing songs and go out with her,
Even play Ludo,
The boss caught me, He thought I was crazy and fired me,
You too must be thinking I’m crazy,
No, I was also in love with a boy in college,
I used to talk to his photograph,
I would make secret videos,
Sometimes sit on his bench,
I loved him but never expressed my feelings,
At least your craziness is a lot better than mine,
Love can happen with anyone,
My grandpa was in love with a radio,
He shared his heart out with that radio,
He would hum songs with it,
He'd clean it religiously for 15 minutes with a soft cotton cloth,
Replace the battery every three months,
One day, the radio stopped responding,
But my grandfather never stopped looking after it,
My grandfather is no more,
But the radio is still with us,
Does it work?
Hello? Sir, Please don’t hang up,
It’s me, Pradeep,
I have a request,
If you haven’t hired anyone, please take me back,
No, sir, I’m getting married,
Not a good idea to get married jobless,
That’s why I’m requesting you this sir, please,
I’ll never give you a reason to complain again, sir, I promise,
Yes, sir,
Yes, sir, Thank you, sir,
Hello, sir,
Welcome,
What do you want, Pradeep?
Nothing, sir,
-Get to work then, -Yes,
Tidy up the place, Clean the floors and close the store properly,
I’ll do it,
Please forgive me, brother,
I didn’t expect things to get so serious,
The day you're caught,
you could have complained against me,
I could’ve lost my job too,
Brother, I know who you want to see,
You won't ask or you might lose the job,
Let me tell you,
After you left, the boss got rid of her too,
He said she was the root cause of this mess,
Do you know where she is?
I’ll take care of all this, you go,
Thanks,
Try your luck at Ultimate Shop,
Yes, what do you want?
I thought I’d never see you again,
You are truly an angel,
You came into my life like an angel and changed it completely,
I came to the city to work,
With dreams of my own,
I felt very lonely here,
Now I have a companion,
I don’t know about others but I know you’d definitely be happy for me,
Pari, this is your best quality,
You seek your happiness In other’s happiness,
How?
I'm also very happy for you,
I'm glad you left that place,
They made you stand in the sun all day,
This film shooting environment suits you,
You already look like a heroine,
Please take care of yourself,
I’ll take my leave now,
People from Gadarwara talk so much
that they miss out on the most important things,
I almost forgot it too,
I’ve got you something,
Thank you,
Pari, when I talk to you people think I’m crazy,
They don’t know that when a man leaves behind
his home, his loved ones, and comes to Mumbai city,
he finds a job but he can't find one to talk his heart out to,
His loneliness deepens, and he starts talking to himself,
They call him mad,
This is madness, isn’t it?
Thank you,
Thank you for listening to all my gibberish,
Thank you for sharing the burden of my loneliness,
For saving me from losing my mind,
Thank you,
Please keep smiling,
Like you, I’ll also try to smile wholeheartedly,
I’ll leave now,
Take care of yourself,
Here you go,
INTERMISSION
PRAKASH CANTEEN

Sujata’s house doesn’t have a clock?
-I left when the show finished, -Thanks for the favor,

He’ll repair it,
Easy… Slowly…
Carefully…
Thanks,
Have your medicines, uncle,
You can drink when you are better,
-Medicine? -Yes,
Are you my dad or am I yours?
You’re not my dad,
You’d still be begging on the streets if I didn’t take you in,
Not doing me any favors, understand?
One samosa, please,
How many?
Hey, Manjari…
You'll have a samosa?
I am going out for dinner,

I came later,
I’m not lying,
I'm feeling very bad,
Even I couldn't come yesterday,
I said I'll be with Sujata but Mom didn't allow me,
I lied that I'm going to get milk and came here,
You haven't learned Marathi?
Is that a mouse on your handkerchief?
Not mouse… a pigeon,
It’s not finished yet,
Can I have one more?
A UNIQUE LOVE STORY

At any rate, every town has a theatre,
What will you do?
Housework,
Apart from that… a job?
Not a job… but I can do embroidery,
Needlework,
And I will study,
Haven't thought much about the future,

It’s bus number 256,
Leaves at 8:15 a,m,
You sit in the front seat,
I’ll just go to the toilet,
Hey, girl!
TO SURAT
TO PIMPRI CHINCHWAD
The day began like a commercial,
Beautiful house, loving husband,
an anniversary gift,
Good morning,
-Hi, -And…
Happy anniversary,
What's this?
What do you mean?
Open it and see,
What's for breakfast?
Honestly speaking, I didn't even like the necklace,
It's as if…
It's as if Arjun's never even noticed my style,
But still…
I wore it for his sake,
But the clasp was broken,
So I called the jeweler to return it,
Hi, I am Tanu Mathur,
We bought a necklace from your showroom but there seems to be a problem with it,
Ma'am, we're sorry about that,
May I know who came to the store?
My husband did, Arjun Mathur,
Found the purchase details, Do both the pieces have a problem?
Both pieces?
That's when I got suspicious,
The next step was pretty obvious, Whose number was it?
Natasha,
I never heard this name in Arjun's circle of friends,
Maybe someone at the office?
But when I searched his Facebook page,
I did find one Natasha,
They work in the same company
Then I saw Natasha's relationship status…
Married to Manav Kapoor,
Then you found me on Linkedin and sent me this message
Yes,
I am sorry but I need your help,
Did this really happen or is it just my imagination?
Look… Tanu, right?
Tanu, I don't know you or your husband, right?
But I know my wife and our relationship well,
And I think you're feeling insecure and…
and you should maybe…
Maybe get some therapy,
Get a new hobby or something,
No, I… his call…
Don't call me ever again,
Okay,
Oh, my god,
Are the kids asleep?
Since tomorrow is a holiday, it wasn't easy to put them to bed,
How did we give birth to such monsters?
Just like their mother,
That's funny,
Listen, keep all this aside, Please just come here,
-But… -Can we watch that Ed Norton film?
I already did,
Are you serious?
What's the big deal? It's just a movie,
Not the point, We're supposed to watch it together,
Fine, let's watch something else,
Who was it?
I don't know, Must be some spam call,
I kept quiet as the children were home or I would…
But I've sent them for a sleepover and I'll confront her tonight,
-And end this, -Manav,
I understand how you're feeling,
But if you break your marriage,
then Natasha will go running to Arjun
Arjun will end our marriage!
Arjun will end your marriage?
You should end your marriage!
How can you live with a man who's having an affair with someone else?
Infidelity is a reality of modern marriages,
Oh, my god!
I can't break my 11-year-old marriage because of one mistake,
Mistake?
What part of this is a mistake?
They are two adults who willingly did this,
You and I have been cheated on, Simple,
Maybe,
But they must have a reason why they did it,
Every relationship that falls apart has a reason behind it,
And a hope to mend it,
Look, you can do whatever you want, Okay,
I can't live with her, End of conversation,
Manav, please,
Give me a few days, okay?
After that, you can do whatever you think is right,
Did you fix your marriage?
No, But I have a plan to fix it,
I want to know what was lacking in our marriage
that Arjun found in Natasha,
And to understand this we must trace the entire affair from the beginning,
-We? -Yes,
I mean, I have a hunch about what Arjun did
but only you can tell me what your wife's capable of,
Are you insane?
I can't do this,
But you owe me,
Owe you for what?
Because if it wasn't for me you would still be with her,
In the same house… In the same bed…
-Holding hands and… -Okay, fine,
What do I have to do? Tell me?
Their calls start from 9th December,
From 7th to 9th of December, Arjun was at the company off-site,
Since Natasha is in the same company, she must be there too,
I really think this is where the affair started,
What do you mean here?
This is where the off-site was,
You called me to the place where my wife was having an affair?
Yes, but with my husband,
I know this is a lot to take in but this is the only way to know,
I need to know,
Don't you want to know? We are here already…
-and it will only take a few hours, -Okay, fine,
I think this is where they met,
I know Arjun was supposed to give a presentation,
He was preparing for it that night,
What was Natasha doing?
I guess she was in the audience
since she was complaining about how
she would have to listen to a boring presentation,
I don't think she would've been bored,
Arjun has this way of just engaging people,
I hope it was worth your while and until we meet again, thank you,
Thank you, everyone,
How did the conversation start between them?
That's easy,
Natasha must have gone up to him and complimented him,
Hi, I am Natasha Kapoor,
I think you did a fantastic job up there,
You mean in trying to keep everyone awake,
No, I mean, I think everybody was pretty engrossed,
Why do you think Natasha approached Arjun?
Because Natasha is attrachted to success,
But you're successful as well,
Not enough,
What do you mean?
Well, our spouses are already lying to us,
At least we can…
Look, when I met Natasha I was the founder of a startup,
I was on the list of 30 under 30,
And then my startup failed and now I'm 40,
I am an employee in an IT company, in a very ordinary job
So not enough,
But the startup is just a part of your life,
Not your identity,
And you seem to be a good husband
and a good father,
Anyone can do that,
No, That's not true,
Natasha and Arjun…
So… how do you think Arjun reacted to it?
-I am glad you enjoyed it, -I really did,
In fact, I wanted to ask you what your views are on future trends,
It's a simple question but the answer is complicated,
Okay,
Should we discuss this over lunch?
Yeah, sure, That will be great,
I mean which man wouldn't like a compliment from a beautiful woman,
He would've been flattered for sure,
But if it's about beauty then his own wife is very beautiful,
Yes, but…
Natasha is interesting,
She has these ideas, and opinions, and dreams…
And you don't have dreams?
I did,
But Arjun had bigger dreams,
Big cars, big jobs, big cities, big parties…
my little dreams got left behind,
Dreams are dreams, What are little dreams?
Okay…
So, a small tea cafe,
In a shady lane,
With a sit out… an eclectic menu…
And a library of unpublished authors on the first floor,
And amateur musicians performing on weekends,
Yeah,
You seem interesting to me,
Come,
So if they met at the conference
then their conversation must have been professional,
How did it become personal?
Maybe I am the reason for the personal connection,
Because of the recession,
So…
to the economy…
Please go ahead and take it if you have to,
I'll call back later,
After a few years of marriage, these calls are just routine,
The same old baseless questions, Followed by baseless answers,
I am sure there's no real reason for this call,
Now that's a plus, because between me and my husband,
there's never a call for no reason,
Same old, Giving information, taking updates…
And when you have kids it's an entirely different story,
Why can't you just make a call for no reason?
Because I don't want her to keep living in her fairytale,
I mean we've been married for years now, We have kids, we have responsibilities,
Yeah, but…
Every marriage needs a fairytale,
Even you're living in your fairytale world,
Yet, your marriage is falling apart,
So what's the point of living in this imaginary world?
I've seen reality destroy marriages,
I've seen my parents' marriage fall apart,
Sorry,
It's fine,
Shall we continue?
I know sometimes life can become really monotonous,
You know, I wish just for a day instead of meetings and schedules,
I could do what I want to do in life,
Forget about life,
What do you want to do right now?
Well, look at us,
We're so close to the beach
and stuck in this conference among pretentious people,
Where could we actually be?
On the beach, right?
No, We can't do that,
Come, let's live a little,
Come on,
Natasha loves the water so she would've run to the sea,
But Arjun doesn't like to wade in the water,
But you don't know Natasha,
She must have dragged Arjun in,
They must have gone into the water,
A big wave must have brought them together,
They must have come close,
Oh, my god! You're so dramatic,
Okay, So maybe I am…
I like these things,
Holding hands, Wading in the water,
Playing in the waves… it's romantic!
You know,
I always respected Arjun's wishes,
Gave him space,
But maybe what he wanted was someone to push him to have fun,
No, I don't agree with that,
Not everyone likes to be forced into having fun,
I want to do the things that I enjoy,
What do you enjoy?
Sitting on the shore, Watching the sunset,
Yeah, but always doing what you want, doesn't work in a marriage,
And doing what you want, doesn't work in life,
Then what should one choose?
Life or marriage?
I don't know,
What are you doing?
Sitting on the shore and watching the sunset,
Isn't that what you want to do?
Yes, but after wading in the water,
So they both went in the water, laughed, and played around,
Came close to each other,
Is that enough for intimacy?
I mean for infidelity?
No,
I think Natasha felt guilty and she went back to her room,
How do you know?
She called me,
Hi, baby, What's up? How are the kids?
So you finally remembered that you have kids?
What? Did something happen?
I have been chasing after them all day!
So what? I do it every day, Manav,
So you could've called or texted asking how they were doing?
I'm here for a conference, not on a holiday,
I wish I had but that's not what I am here for, right?
So you need a holiday,
A holiday from me and your kids,
Fine, take it,
Wait a minute, Did I say that?
Look Natasha, any woman who needs a holiday from her family,
shouldn't be a mother, Okay!
Hello,
How can you talk to her like that?
I mean, she called you for reassurance,
And you gave her a reason to cheat,
Sorry, Were you saying that I am responsible for this affair?
Yeah,
Every couple quarrels,
So, everybody should have an affair,
If she's unhappy with me then why doesn't she leave me?
It's not that easy for women
to break their marriage and end relationships,
Leaving the kids, leaving the house,
She won't have a problem,
The house is in her name, I've ensured she has money in the bank,
She's financially secure,
She can keep the kids, I can visit them on weekends,
It's all taken care of,
Okay?
My god!
You've thought this through!
What?
You want this marriage to fail,
At some point in time, every couple wants their marriage to end,
But not every couple thinks about their children's custody,
Okay, fine, I want this marriage to fail, I want it to end,
Why?
Because we're not compatible,
She loves the Manav I was ten years ago,
Founder of a startup, An entrepreneur, 30 under 30,
I've accepted my failure but she can't!
Did you tell her?
Manav, why can't you tell her like you're telling me?
She already thinks I'm a failure, I don't want her to think I am a coward,
Failure does not make you a coward,
In my family, failure is a big deal,
Okay?
I don't want to talk about this anymore, Okay?
Manav… I'm sorry,
You don't have to, We don't have to do this,
We can drop it,
I know it's overwhelming for you, I can understand,
Let's finish this,
I want to finish this,
Natasha is not the kind of woman who cries over a quarrel,
In fact, she retaliates by having a good time,
What does Natasha do when she is high?
Natasha must have hit the dance floor for sure,
Alone,
What are you doing?
You know, through my entire marriage
I tried to be the perfect wife,
You know… but…
I think Arjun wanted something else,
You don't have to change,
No one likes me for who I am,
Not even Arjun, He likes someone like Natasha,
If Arjun likes someone else then that's his problem,
He needs to change not you,
Okay, listen, Come on,
I think we should go, I'll drop you at your room, Come,
I think Arjun must have said that to Natasha,
-So here we are, -Yeah,
I am really sorry I embarrassed myself,
-No, it's okay, -No, I am sorry,
If something's bothering you then you can share it with me,
No, it's okay,
There's no problem, I mean…
Tanu,
You sure you want to do this?
Natasha,
Watch it, Are you okay?
Yeah, I'm fine, There's no problem,
Or maybe…
I don't know, maybe I am the problem,
Listen, it's all right,
I keep trying but nothing is ever enough for Manav,
I…
-How is that possible? -Come on,
-How is that possible? -It's okay,
No matter what I do, why am I never enough for him?
Come, It's fine,
It's fine, It's okay,
Why is it never enough for him?
No, that's not possible,
If Natasha felt that Arjun was taking advantage of her emotional state,
she would have walked away,
Something else must have happened,
Maybe Arjun said something,
What would've Arjun said?
I don't know,
What do you mean you don't know?
Why are you asking me?
Until now you knew everything, How he thinks, what he does…
Now you claim you don't know?
Yes,
I don't know,
You're lying, Tanu,
No, I am not,
I can read your face, you're lying,
What did you tell me? We'll be honest with each other, right?
If you don't want to be honest then let's finish this thing,
Let's end it,
Fine,
He must have said…
Even I've grown tired of my marriage,
My wife is insane,
Whenever I want to leave her she starts to cut herself,
She threatens to kill herself,
What is he saying?
Don't I have a right to be happy?
Yeah, but this is not true,
Is it?
No, it's not true,
What do you want to see? Look, it's not true,
I am so sorry,
I am sorry,
But how do you know he said these things?
Unless it's happened before!
It's happened before,
Yes, it's happened before,
He said these things,
I've read his entire social media chats,
-And what did you do? -I yelled and screamed,
He started crying, He apologized,
-And you forgave him? -What else could I do?
-You could've left him, -I can't leave him,
Tanu, he's done it before, He's doing it again,
And he'll keep doing it,
-You don't understand, -What don't I understand?
If… I'm not Mrs, Arjun Mathur
then who am I?
I don't have children
nor friends,
I don't have any relationships to call my own,
Remember what you told me?
A startup is not my identity,
Similarly, Tanu relationships are not your sole identity,
Because I haven't created an identity for myself,
-Then do it now, -I can't do this,
You can do anything,
If you can convince me to go along with this ridiculous plan…
then you're capable of doing anything,
Why can't you see it? You're smart,
You're beautiful, you're intelligent,
You don't want this,
Hello,
-Hi, -Hi,
-It's nice to see you, -It's nice to see you as well,
Are you good?
I am fine,
I am happy,
Arjun's…
Arjun's changed,
Missed you,
I didn't know you were here,
Welcome,
Tired?
I was just gone for a day,
Even a day has 24 hours,
And even an hour without you is too long,
You did all this?
Yes, For you,
By the way, I was thinking,
It's been a really long time since we went on a trip,
I think we should take a holiday together,
Nice cozy hotel,
Lazy lunches,
Some wine,
Some books,
Some slow dancing,
And…I think it's over between them,
That's why you're looking so happy,
Aren't you happy to hear this?
No, if you're happy I am happy,
Why did you want to meet?
Well, I wanted to tell you something,
Actually, that day when I went back, Natasha was waiting for me,
It's over now, Manav,
There really is nothing left,
And…
I just want you to forgive me, please,
Punish me any way you want,
You can keep the children if you want,
Please,
Divorce me,
I really… I can't…
I can't take this anymore, I really can't,
I am sorry I kept pushing you to do something
but you don't have to do that anymore, You really don't,
But I don't deserve you, Manav,
You don't have to anymore,
Please do what you want to, I am serious,
I don't deserve you,
I really don't deserve you,
Actually, I didn't think I could forgive her,
But you did,
Thanks to you,
But it's not that everything is perfect now,
We still fight every day,
How did the affair end between them?
How does that matter?
Matters to me,
It's so peaceful… spending the entire day together,
Meeting secretly is so exhausting,
But such coincidences won't happen often…
when they are both out of town at the same time,
And what if we don't need to keep meeting secretly?
Arjun! We've talked about this,
Manav has a lot to deal with,
I can't leave him and hurt him further,
So you'll continue living this lie of a marriage,
And do you ever think about me?
Don't I have any rights?
Don't we have the right to live the life we want?
It's not that easy, Arjun,
I am only telling you to think about it,
Anyway it's not going to happen overnight,
What do you mean?
It needs to be planned,
Emotionally, Financially,
Divorce is not just about two people separating,
Families are involved too,
Children, Assets, Alimony,
They don't know anything yet,
If we plan it better
we'll get a better deal out of it,
Natasha thought if he can be so cold-hearted with his wife
even after so many years of marriage,
then he can be just as cold-hearted with her,
If Natasha hadn't left Arjun
then he would've never returned to me,
But does that matter?
Yes, now it matters,
I don't want to be his backup,
I just…
I want to be his first choice,
But remember you said to me
if you're not Mrs, Arjun Mathur, then who are you?
I am beautiful,
Smart and intelligent,
I can do anything,
Isn't that what you said?
If you ever need anything,
you know I'm always here,
Yeah,
I just have one request,
If I am ever weak, don't support me,
Just don't,
Just remind me that I can do anything alone,
