At this time, I guess you're being emotional.
You seek a divorce,
because of you, not because of me.
[Poonam crying] He wants a divorce from me.
What's my mistake?
Holding your hand, I don't feel that
I've achieved everything.
I won't say that, because even
if I don't get anything else apart from you in this world,
it's enough for me.
[Ana] Why are you here, Bani?
What do you want from my father?
Couldn't you find anyone else to love?
I did.
- Then why didn't you marry him? - He was already married.
I'm ready to overlook everything,
I just want one thing from you
maintain a relation with our daughters
and our home.
[Title Montage]
[Breaking sound]
- Get up, Bani. - Yes, I am.
Bani...
Bani, what happened, my child?
- Bani. - It's okay, I'll get up.
What happened to you? Get up.
- Are you okay? What...Bani. - Relax.
Dad, you're home?
You didn't go to meet your girlfriend?
Bani, you...
Mom, lucky day for you, huh?
Dad is home today. Good for you.
- I didn't want to... - You're drunk?
Right.
When did you start drinking?
[Laughing]
Didn't you know?
Didn't she message you?
- Who? What're you talking about? - [Bani] Check your phone.
I'm sure she must've messaged you.
What message, Bani?
Check...
See! I told you.
She's damn loyal to you, huh! By the way,
I need to tell you this; what a lovely whiskey! I loved it.
And what a 'lovenest', huh?
- And, what a hot girlfriend! - Shut your mouth, Bani.
- I'm impressed. - Why did you go there?
I have a lot to talk to you, but I don't think
you are in the condition to talk. Go to your room.
I don't want to go anywhere, Dad. I want to talk to you.
[Bani] I've got a lot to talk to you.
- I'm getting married. - You're not getting married.
- Of course, I'm getting married. - You're not getting married.
Then who'll tell me extra-marital affair...
- Go to your room. Come on... - I'll not go to my room.
Since the topic of marriage has been raised...
then, Mom, let me tell you one thing,
your marriage is finished.
Dad's girlfriend is not gonna leave him.
Mom, I forgot to tell you,
Dad simply loves different forms of poetry
as well as music. Were you aware of it?
He also gifts his girlfriend books on poetry,
and also tells her jokes.
That sounds like a different man, isn't it?
Not your type, 'cause dad is going to leave you.
You know what, Dad, you go;
because this house now belongs to us
It belongs to mom, Nikki, and
there is no space for men like you.
- So you go. - Stop it. Stop it, Bani.
You'll say nothing now, understood?
You cannot speak to your father like this,
I will not tolerate this.
[Giggling] Mom...
you're talking about tolerance?
You're tolerating your own husband's extra-marital affair
absolutely quietly.
But now you're talking about tolerance. So strange.
- Shut up. - Mom, why don't you understand?
He'll leave you, he'll leave you, he'll leave me,
he'll leave Nikki, he'll leave everybody.
- Shut up. - Leave him, Mom, before he does.
[Nikki crying]
- Nikki. - Don't, don't go please.
- I'm not going anywhere. - Please, please don't go.
I'm not going anywhere, my child. I'm not going.
[Bani crying] Bani...
It's okay, Bani, stop crying.
- Nikki, Nikki. - You can't do this, Dad.
You can't go. Please, you can't go.
[Music playing]
[Cell phone beeps]
[Bani] Dad simply loves different forms of poetry,
and music.
He gifts his girlfriend books on poetry.
Also tells her jokes.
- Did Nikki sleep? - Hmm.
- Bani? - Even she's sleeping.
in mother's room.
Our daughters cannot live in this fear.
They are going through a very sensitive age.
You accept my proposition.
I'm okay with it.
- Okay with what? - With your affair.
I won't be able to handle it,
our daughters' will not be able to handle it.
It took years to build this home,
it'll collapse, and breakdown.
You be with her if you are happy in doing so.
But don't talk about divorce.
What are you saying, Poonam?
That I should go to someone else, and come back to you, daily?
That'll be a very big lie.
So what? You've been lying since so many days.
I have lied, haven't I?
Poonam, I have lived this lie, not you.
You didn't know anything about it, but now you do.
If I do like you tell,
then even you'll have to live this lie.
Our several years' companionship and this home
will all become a lie.
I'm not gonna let that happen.
Rohit, where are you, man? I'm really worried now.
I've sent you three voice notes,
you're not replying, neither are you calling back.
Call me back please.
Nonsense.
Because of this lie,
I couldn't become yours,
nor could I become Ananya's.
This lie of mine has kept you both incomplete.
That's it.
It's enough now.
Poonam,
you have given your everything,
to me, to this house and to this family.
This incomplete relationship doesn't do justice to you.
Why do you want to compromise with such a big lie, why?
I am there.
I'm there but...
I'll always be there for you and the kids,
but not like this.
A dad who fears confronting his children
and a husband who betrays his wife.
I can't live like this any more with this guilt. No.
Hey...
Listen to me.
You are the mother of my children.
You deserve that respect,
and I'm gonna make sure you get it.
Okay?
Have faith in me.
[Poonam crying]
[Female VO] Please leave your message after the beep.
I knew it. I knew that
you'll forget me after going home,
because this is what you do. You are mad.
In the morning, you tell me that you love me,
and then you disappear after going home.
You know you're really mad, Rohit.
But I'm not going to get mad for you. No, not any more.
And why should I bother as well?
What have you given me other than trouble, Rohit?
What have you given me?
You can't even prepare a Maggi properly,
poetry is beyond question.
Your poetry is so pitiful,
that even Ghalib will be ashamed of himself.
And it is 'Kabra', not 'Kabar'.
And it is 'Fakra', not 'Fakar'.
You f****r. Nonsense.
[Exhaling]
God!
[Rohit] Ana...
Hi.
You.
What are you doing here? I've been trying to call you since long.
I didn't receive your call.
What do you mean?
Oops!
It's gone off. Battery must be dead.
- Put it on charge please. - Okay.
- What are you doing? - Setting up my stuff.
Why? Are you staying here?
I mean, uhh...
I don't want to make you uncomfortable.
I'll put the clothes
- in the living room cupboard. - No, no. It's not like that.
Are you moving in? When did that happen?
I mean, your home... Are you okay?
Yeah, just uhh...
long day, so
need to take a shower. My bag...
- Yes. I'll arrange it. - Thanks.
I'll go take a shower. You wanna come?
[Ana chuckles]
No, I'll...
go take a shower, just put my phone on charge.
No, I'll come. You go.
Okay.
[Chuckling] S**t!
[Cell phone beeps]
[Rohit] Are you coming?
[Clicks]
Ahh...
Sorry. Good morning.
It's me, Rohit.
I understand that
you're not used to seeing someone else in your room in the morning.
Made tea for you.
- What's this? - Sugar.
Our first morning together, Honey.
They say you should start a good day with something sweet. So...
Calories.
Okay then let's do something that burns calories. What say? Come on.
- I haven't even brushed. - I'm okay with it.
I haven't even brushed, mmm.
- Hey, one or two? - Two.
One for me, one for you.
[Ananya giggling] Ahh!
- There you go. - Thank you.
- [Ana] You're okay? - Yeah, why?
What about your home?
I think, it will take some time, but Nikki Bani eventually will be fine.
Poonam is mature. She understands that
I have left home, not them.
So whenever they need me I'll be there.
I'll think it'll work out.
I think you should not go to work today.
- What? - Stay together,
let's spend the day together, in bed.
[Ananya giggling]
- Hmm? - Let me call V.
Call her.
[Phone ringing]
Hey Ana, good morning.
Listen, I'm not coming to office today.
- You look after the meetings. - Why?
I mean, are you okay?
You never take a holiday. What has happened?
Love happened.
Rohit moved in last night. So...
- he's here. - I mean...
Wow!
Amazing, Ana.
Let me put Cherry on con-call.
[Phone ringing]
- Hello? - Rohit has moved in with Ana.
What?
[Vandy] And she's taking a day off. [Rohit's phone ringing]
[Cherry] Then what else will she do?
And she also has to catch-up on lifetime's s**.
Go for it, Ana, full on.
Bye.
- Idiot. - [Rohit] What?
Are you serious?
You tell her I said this is ridiculous.
- No, please. - What happened?
Rohit has made up his mind.
He wants divorce.
It's okay. A marriage is between two people.
- If one person is unhappy... - Yes but you are only two people.
You even have two daughters.
We are not even related to Rohit!
Right from the day you married that person, up to this day,
we've been keeping our end of the relation.
Now it's over for him. But what about you?
Why didn't you feel disinterested?
Even if you did, would he feel the same way?
Brother, I could've never imagined
that my 20 year relationship,
would become weak rather than strong.
[Pranav chuckles]
You spent 20 years looking after the children, and now he
is finding his new life.
Great! How do you manage that?
If I accept Rohit's cheating,
then I find it easier to spend my life with it.
But if I revolt,
then I will detach myself from him.
What's right and what's wrong,
is beyond my understanding.
[Poonam chuckles]
Bani is telling me that I am very regressive.
Brother, is being an understanding wife
progressive or regressive?
And is revolting
progressive or stereotypical?
I can't understand anything.
I'm completely lost.
[Car honks]
I think that's the groom's family.
[Car approaching] Please.
[Man laughing] [Poonam] Hello!
Namaste, welcome. Please come in.
- Hi Stuti, how are you? - How are you?
- Arya. - Hi.
Hi.
Please come.
Oh, here they come.
Please, come in. Welcome, welcome.
Namaste.
Namaste, Namaste. Hello Child.
You're so pretty, so pretty.
Oh my God!
- Hi, aunty. - Okay, even they wish to meet!
- Hmm. - Hmm.
Control, son, control.
Finally, remembered it? Come, dear, come.
Come, have a seat.
- Vidya, please look after them. - Sure.
Mrs. Mehra, sorry for bothering you.
- Not at all. - But you know,
the moment Arya said that Bani is ready for marriage,
we thought we must not wait.
We didn't even realize when the kids grew up!
These kids think differently.
Before giving a different surprise,
we thought 'let's get them married'.
He's going abroad anyway for studies.
- Please. - Ahh, thank you.
If he gets married before that, nothing like it.
I understand, you'll need to go through some stress...
Not at all. Actually, we share the same thoughts.
It'll be a bit of problem, but I think we'll manage.
- Oh, that's wonderful. - All of sudden.
How did they decide all this without any notice?
- What? Didn't they talk to you? - No.
That's the problem, right?
Anyway, how would I know?
- Ask Rohit. - Why would I ask Brother Rohit?
Or this might be happening because of him.
Greetings, Sister-in-law. How are all of you?
Greetings! Many congratulations.
As soon as I got the news, I came here.
Meet Gurinder, Rohit's best friend.
And this is Sister-in-law Jassi He's Arya's father.
Hello. What a pleasure, sir!
- They are just like family to us. - Hello, Uncle.
Hello...
Congratulations...
New inning, huh? Hello, Pranav.
Hello. Greetings, Mother. How are you?
- God bless you. - Hey, dear,
how are you?
Where is Brother Rohit?
Rohit is out of town for a meeting,
- isn't it, Sister-in-law? - But you had said that
Rohit is in a meeting and will come back soon?
I guess the out of town meeting must be cancelled.
Rohit's plans change very quickly.
Yeah. Nowadays dad is too busy.
His plans change very quickly indeed.
Bani, don't get upset. Dad will be here any moment.
Look, Rohit has arrived.
- Hello, Rohit. - Hi, Sood sir, how are you?
- Good to see you. - Hello Uncle. Can I call you Dad?
It's okay. That's it.
Rohit, where had you been since long?
Everything took place suddenly, right?
All of a sudden. Actually we were planning for next week,
but why delay it, if at all
- we have to go forward with it? - Yeah but, what's the rush?
Rohit, you just come in.
- You just freshen up. [Mr. Sood] We like Bani anyway.
And Brother, both the kids love each other.
And what is rush after all? Sooner the better.
It takes time to understand any relationship.
- Just look at us. - No, but...
It took 25 years for us to understand each other.
Now our golden period has started.
Exactly, Mr. Sood.
Marriage is a big commitment. So, don't you think,
it's a bit too early?
But, Brother, we
where are we interfering in their life?
If Bani wishes, she can continue her studies.
Otherwise, she can chill, huh?
- But, you know, I need to know... - That's what I'm saying,
you go upstairs and freshen up.
Excuse us, huh!
- Excuse me. - Let's go, Rohit.
- Rohit, please. - What are you doing?
Leave my hand, leave my hand.
Oh, Ramu kaka...
Rohit, please, not now.
That's exactly what I'm saying. Not now.
It's not Bani's age to get married, Poonam.
I've told you several times.
She's not marrying. She's taking revenge from me.
Bani, face it. You're just doing this to spite dad.
Nikki, don't try to act smart.
And even if I am, you know nothing.
- And I love Arya, you get that? - F**k you do.
He's okay for time pass.
You definitely don't wanna get married to him.
Stop irritating me.
- Bani... - Something is wrong.
Yes, something is wrong. There is no chicken?
Forget chicken, look there,
at Brother Rohit and Poonam Sister-in-law.
Forget it. I don't think so.
Okay, tell me. What will you have?
It's my fast today. Tuesday.
Darling, it's routine for you to fast.
CID.
I never thought Rohit would move in with Ananya.
But look, he proved us wrong.
But there's something about him that Ananya loves him so much.
[Cell phone beeps]
What the f**k. What's this nonsense?
- What happened? - My mood is off.
Yeah, but what happened?
Look, V, there is no choice in love.
It can happen with anyone.
But we should have choices in lust, right?
Yeah, so?
Look, what choices I am getting today.
Oh my God, what is all this, Cherry?
It's porn.
I was looking for entertainment in the evening.
But look, what's on offer.
By the way, the choice is weird.
It's so weird that it should be brushed aside.
- Hi. - Hi.
[Cherry] How come you're here?
- Did Rohit ditch you again? - Yes he did.
Vandy, come, let's go.
Where are you heading with this salt-and-pepper?
To put it on his selective places.
- How dare he? - Oh!
Queen of Jhansi, chill. Sit down.
I allowed him to go.
But why? He moved in with you, right?
Moved in? He took over.
His clothes filled up my whole cupboard.
Then?
The parents of his daughter's boyfriend
were coming home. So he had to go.
And I let him as well. Such is life.
- And you're cool with this? - Yeah, I am cool.
He has to go home for family,
but he'll come back.
- Tell me. What's going on? - Nothing, darling,
not even the air is moving today.
Oh come on, stop these PJs.
Sorry.
You know that
I can open up your phone, right?
I'll check all your accounts,
including all the chats, understood?
Now tell me,
- we'll save detective's expenses. - Oh why me?
Go and search that Rohit.
Because between a husband and wife,
there should be no secrets at all. And why should I ask Brother Rohit?
I'm asking you. And it's your duty to tell me.
Oh, please leave the topic.
Something must be going on in between them.
Probably divorce as well.
Did you tell them that we are seeking a divorce?
Okay, so you didn't tell them.
Imagine the trouble that Bani will have to face if you tell them.
As if there are no other problems in my life.
Isn't it? I'm very happy in my life.
Very happy.
Why are you guys not eating anything?
Why are you doing this, Bani?
Why can't I do this, Dad?
I have crossed 18, I'm an adult. Of course I can do this.
That's exactly what I'm saying, not now.
Don't throw your life away like this.
I'm so sorry, Dad, but I'll have to do this.
If I don't do this now,
how will I play my second innings when I'm 40.
So you'll damage your future, just to teach me a lesson?
Just to punish me, is that right?
No, Dad.
Why would I do that? What would I get out of it?
Will you end your affair? No. Right?
Dad, you have no right
to advise me, because you have done what you wanted to.
Now please let us do what we want to.
I will not let you mess up your life, Bani.
Even if I have to f**k up with my own life, so be it.
And this makes two of us f*****g up with our own lives.
Like father, like daughter.
What else is going on? Tell me everything.
- Divorce... - Please stop.
Am I the servant of their house, that I would be knowing everything?
Yes.
You know everything about Brother Rohit.
You're his best friend, right?
Okay, don't tell. I'll find out myself.
Am I the one having an affair, that you're giving me third-degree?
Affair?
It means an affair is going on?
See, I knew it.
- BTW. - What?
By the way, you cannot even have an affair.
Have you seen your face?
[Clicks]
- Rohit, come, let's have a drink. - Yes Mr. Sood, I'll just
go and freshen up. Two minutes.
Poonam...
Just come along.
Oh...
Romance, golden years.
- Oh. - Good, good.
[All laughing]
[Door closes] What's all this?
What's happening? Arya's parents are here to ask for Bani's hand.
Yeah, I can see that, Poonam. But why is that happening?
And it's wrong. Why are you encouraging it?
What's wrong? Family is settled, the boy is decent, moreover...
I'm telling you again and again, Poonam,
that Bani is not old enough to get married.
She's still a child.
It's Bani's decision, Rohit.
- And I'm okay with it. - Really?
Then, tell me how will you explain
Arya's family about whatever is going on between us?
Or will you keep lying?
What's the problem in lying?
You have been lying since so many days.
Actually you're right.
I won't be able to do that. I can't live this dual life.
You want a divorce, right? Okay.
I'm ready to give you a divorce.
[Poonam] But only on one condition.
When I sign the papers in the court,
she'll have to be there.
Ananya? Why?
Her presence is important.
It's between you and me, Poonam.
Why is her presence important?
It's between you and me, but she's the reason.
I want to show her
what happens when someone's home is ruined.
You always said that we should be good friends.
Then let's start this friendship from the courtroom.
I'll sign the papers only when she'll be there.
[Door closes]
[Title track playing]
