My name used to be Pinky Jatav.
A simple girl living an ordinary life.
I went out of Bhopal for the first time on a school trip.
Maybe that's why I survived.
And because of that one day,
that ordinary girl became special in everyone's eyes.
God had chosen me.
No one even realised when that gas
wrapped itself around Bhopal's throat.
My father, my entire family.
I was orphaned.
Overnight.
And...
everything was over.
From a Union Carbide factory...
a poisonous gas leaked out.
It is estimated that more than 15,000 people lost their lives.
And many others battle...
I didn't shed a single tear.
I found out, for the first time, how terrifying being alone can be.
But the tears didn't come.
Grief is a strange thing.
Sometimes it makes you cry,
and sometimes it makes you hard as stone.
I stood before a pile of corpses
where finding my family was impossible.
And then I saw my father's hands.
I prayed to God. I needed a miracle.
And right then, suddenly...
I felt a hand on my shoulder.
I didn't even know who he was.
But I knew I would never let go of that hand.
Three generations from the same family.
They are still dealing with genetic disorders,
or with age, physical deformities.
The reason?
Gas tragedy.
Even after 37 years.
It's not just them.
There are other families like this.
To document all this, I'll need to capture their photos.
Would they be okay being photographed?
Absolutely. You can take as many photos as you like.
You'll just have to pay them.
But my agency doesn't give me funds for these things.
You've already seen the condition of these people.
Normally, these people don't get jobs.
But everybody has to eat.
These people participate in drug trials.
Following animals, drugs are tested directly on them.
Let's do one thing.
Tell your agency,
if they want to make an exhibition out of these people's desperation
and win international awards,
then the least they have to do is pay up.
When is Fatima going to America?
-September. -Oh, nice.
-New York, right? -Yeah.
She's a bright young girl.
Yes, but she didn't get a scholarship.
So what if she didn't? I'm here, Mr. Salman.
You're very helpful, Ashok.
Like me.
I know that...
destroying old files in the DIGC and...
allowing the trial to go from Phase 0 to Phase 2
wasn't easy for you.
Especially as the head of the organisation.
Fatima is my only daughter.
She's a little too demanding
because she knows that her demands
are extremely important to me.
Absolutely.
Is this your pop's hotel?
Think you can come and go whenever you want?
Hey, asshole! When are you going to get to work?
If the utensils aren't sparkling,
the next time it'll be on your face. Understand?
Did you like the gift?
Rs. 120 crore?
Who wouldn't like such a gift?
But I wish I was your first choice.
If you weren't my first choice,
would I be spending more time with you than I do with Pratap?
I'm not your first choice.
I'm not talking about Pratap.
It seems Nathu Lal is your first choice these days.
And I am stunned at how anyone can make you dance to their tune.
Do you know, Gauri?
I like your brain more than I like you.
There is so much going on under your nose, and you have no idea.
I... don't understand.
Nathu Lal has already negotiated a deal for the sale of the park.
But not with you.
Fidel Group
is building the city's biggest heart institute
where the park stands.
And who is heading it?
The great Snehal Shindey!
I have to go.
-Yes, Mr. Pramod. -Gauri.
Riya Sareen passed away.
Gauri?
Hello?
Gauri?
Organise a press conference right now.
And no one in Manthan should know.
Press conference?
But why?
You've been here for two days, Saira.
You won't take my calls or reply to my messages.
-Why are you running-- -I am not running.
You have no idea how stressed I am about the hospital.
A high-profile patient died, and Gauri needs me.
Oh, yeah, Gauri again.
Saira...
Other than your home and your family, everyone is important to you.
Neil, why are you behaving like a teenager?
What do you want?
That I glue myself to you and sit at home all day?
I thought I married a mature man.
We got married so we could be free.
And when have I stopped your freedom?
Are we saying we should live separately after marriage?
Is that maturity?
I'm not here to stay.
I just wanted a break.
Saira, I've come back after six months.
I still haven't seen your face properly.
How many breaks do you need?
Is everything okay?
Yeah, everything is fine.
I'm in my room.
-If you guys need me, okay? -Sure, thanks.
What did you tell Shalini?
Whatever there was to tell.
She also thought it was quite weird that you suddenly wanted a child.
Obviously, she thinks it's weird; she's a lesbian.
Did you just say that?
Lesbians don't have kids?
I didn't mean that.
Anyway. I'm not here to discuss LGBTQ rights with you.
Saira.
I guess this is not working out, Saira.
You're right, Neil. It's clearly not working out.
I'm already late. I'm sorry.
When will you come home?
I also have a million things to do.
I'm not just sitting around idly, waiting for you.
What the fuck are you doing, Saira?
He loves you, and you don't even love him.
-I do love him. -You're lying.
What are you looking at?
You already know that telling lies is your habit.
Hey, easy there.
Why are you laughing so much?
Roma Ma!
What are you doing?
Dr. Sabharwal!
Hi, Raghav.
Dr. Nath has called you to the media room. Right now.
Media room? What happened?
Riya's death isn't just the loss of her parents,
but also the biggest loss of my career.
We share in this grief with the Sareens.
Cause of death?
LTGA. Levo-Transposition of Great Arteries.
This is a birth defect.
With age, it brings in more complications.
The fatality rate is very high.
We...
We tried everything.
Dr. Nath, can you vouch for the fact that
there was no negligence on the hospital's part?
In light of this situation,
Dr. Saira Sabharwal will be the interim head of Cardiology.
Starting with immediate effect.
And Dr. Shindey?
Dr. Saira Sabharwal will take over.
Dr. Sabharwal.
You're given this responsibility at a critical time.
Will you be able to handle it?
You always return from there looking so harassed.
What is it that they make you do?
You just recover and get back home.
That's it.
Papa, where's brother?
He was just behind me.
Where did he go?
Aunt Sulochna, I am very sorry that you were informed
at the last minute,
but this is an emergency meeting.
We have decided to reject Dr. Shindey's notice period
and, in fact, fire him instead.
With immediate effect.
And if he isn't a part of Manthan,
then, obviously, he won't be on its board.
This...
has been decided by all the board members.
We have Avinash from legal with us and also Nidhi from HR.
Bullshit.
Snehal, mind your language.
Please try to show some respect.
I'll show you some respect in court.
All of you.
Dr. Sabharwal, congratulations from all of us.
Ethics Committee is very happy with your promotion.
-Congrats. -Congratulations.
Thank you, thank you, everyone.
Dr. Shindey, according to your agreement and the board rules,
if you are fired because of negligence,
then you will not have any claim on Manthan's shares.
The severance pay given to you at the time of your exit
will also be halved.
And all the benefits you received from Manthan,
like flights, hotels and credit cards, will be stopped.
You will also need to vacate your office immediately.
By which I mean today.
Any questions, Dr. Shindey?
What happened with Riya was very unfortunate.
But blaming any one person for that, is it right? Like...
This will bring his reputation down to zero.
Now joining another hospital is out of the question,
I don't even think he'll be able to practise anymore.
-Everyone, shall we? -Oh, yes.
Yeah.
-Oh, yes. -Let's start.
We've been through so much together, no?
What was Manthan, Pratap?
A two-room dispensary.
The person who worked with Gauri to get Manthan to this stage,
now you want to crush his reputation so publicly?
S93R or Saviour.
A new drug for heart disease.
Manthan has received a proposal to conduct Phase 2 testing.
All the details are in your folder.
The Phase 0 and Phase 1 reports are quite promising.
Very few side effects and zero casualties.
But I still don't understand one thing.
Dr. Shekhawat was fired two weeks before his death.
Why was he removed?
What does Dr. Shekhawat's dismissal
have to do with the drug's efficiency?
You just said the reports are promising.
If you still have doubts, you can call the DRO Aspire office and ask.
They're the ones doing the trial for Vayu Pharma.
Exactly.
Anyway, I approve.
-Me too. -Me too.
Me too.
Do you know my son Rohit still thinks of Abhay as a younger brother?
Because when Udai passed away,
we thought that we had lost someone of our own.
Abhay needed a big brother and Rohit was always there for him.
Malti and I barely differentiated between Rohit and Udai.
You know all this, Pratap.
Or have you forgotten it for your own benefit?
Udai's death broke you.
Enough!
Don't you dare get Udai in the middle of this!
This meeting is over.
Two more very important clauses, Dr. Shindey.
As well as being a doctor, you were also a member of the board.
So, any confidential information belonging to Manthan
will have to be kept confidential by you.
Number two.
Non-compete. For the next year,
you cannot be associated with any hospital in any capacity.
Don't tell me what's in my agreement, Avinash.
And I'm not going to go out quietly.
You really think you can fuck me over like this?
She's scared of me now.
She knows she's nothing without me
because, even after working with me for 25 years,
she still does not have the courage to look me in the eyes and say,
"Snehal, you're fired."
You're given this responsibility at a critical time.
Will you be able to handle it?
The kingdom of Bhopal was ruled by the most formidable women.
And so will Manthan.
Good boy!
Go get it, Oscar!
Alex, here! No, here! Good boy!
These four love you a lot.
This is one thing you have in common with your mom.
-The dogs? -No.
The pursuit of excellence.
Abhay, you're so bloody intelligent.
Why don't you want to do something with your life?
What do you want?
Manthan needs you.
We need you.
Become a board member.
Support your mom and me.
I'm giving you a chance to do something big.
I spoke to Rohit.
He said Uncle Snehal was quite pissed off.
That's it? Anything else?
He said, "Your Mom is a bitch."
And what exactly did you say to that?
Nothing?
If Udai would've been there, he would've broken his face--
But Udai wasn't there, Dad.
Now it's just me.
Tell me this. What have you done for me so far?
Exactly.
And this is what you and Mom have in common.
May I?
Of course.
Abhay isn't listening.
As expected.
But there should be someone trustworthy on the board.
Why do we need someone else?
The two of us are there.
For an organisation as big as Manthan,
there needs to be at least five members on the board.
That is the law.
Law...
are just words on a piece of paper.
Just put somebody else's name in. How does it matter?
This reckless abandon of yours really suits you.
And your wisdom suits you.
Till death do us apart.
Maybe you should try changing your methods.
Give him a hug.
Show him some love
once in a while.
To give love, you must have love.
After Udai left...
Love left me a long time ago, sweetheart.
How's Anita?
You look gorgeous.
Chandrakant is a lucky man.
But I feel sorry that
he has never seen you getting ready.
You look the most beautiful then.
I'm meeting Saira.
She likes you.
Keep her close.
I know.
You will say yes to Saviour, Saira.
Quiet! Keep quiet.
I won't hurt you if you keep quiet.
-Quiet! -Roma Ma is calling you downstairs.
Speak! Speak!
I'll be right there!
In fi-five minutes!
Because of you, my entire family is destroyed.
Now, listen.
My mom's name is Kamla Devi Mahto.
I need her report and photos of all the forms.
The doctor wants to know what injection you gave her.
If I don't get this information,
then my mom will die.
My number is written inside that cupboard.
Please-please don't rape me!
What?
Stay inside the water till I leave.
You don't have any clothes on.
PLEASE FORGIVE ME. PLEASE HELP ME, MANGU.
My poverty, my station,
knowing all of this, Dr. Abhimanyu Nath,
my father, brought me home.
And he gave me his name.
But there's a difference between changing a life
and improving it.
I had arrived at this palatial house,
but, other than Dad, the Nath family
did not consider me a part of the family.
Dad's father, Dr. Yudhistir Nath,
wasn't just a doctor to Bhopal's people; he was a messiah.
But only I knew his truth.
He was disgusted by poor people.
And his daughter, Sulochna, was just like her dad.
Dad understood all this.
He changed my name from Pinky to that of a goddess',
but the pain never stopped.
The toughest part is losing someone you love.
Death is brutal.
It snatches away those that are closest to you.
And then,
slowly their memories also start disappearing.
Just an emptiness remains,
which we fill with our trauma and pain.
I can't imagine, but...
losing Udai would've just killed you.
Let's go have a drink.
Yeah, sure.
-Cheers. -Cheers.
In front of the Ethics Committee,
you're the only one who didn't approve Saviour.
It is never easy to take a stand alone.
And you've taken a stand for Vivek's patients.
Now for Saviour.
And I really admire that about you.
Somehow I'm just not convinced.
-I'm sorry. -It's okay.
I'll set up a meeting with DRO Aspire's Sagarika
and Vayu Pharma's Ashok Vaidya for you.
They'll clear all your doubts.
And despite that if you have strong reasons to say no,
then...
The final decision for Saviour will be yours.
I will not let any drug come into Manthan
that puts my patients' lives at risk.
I know how important every single patient is to you.
I know you that much at least.
Where do you want to be dropped?
Where to today?
Home.
Arera Hills.
My husband is back. Neil.
Why don't you all come over for dinner?
Neil and you. Just the four of us.
Pratap, me and the two of you.
I would... I would like that.
I would really like that. Thank you.
Any successful marriage
has no room for secrecy.
I think that's why our marriage is so strong.
That's lovely.
Our case is a little different.
I...
Neil is having an affair.
Pratap is having an affair.
Sometimes I think...
we have so much in common.
Holy fuck!
Neil!
-Neil, where did this package come-- -Listen, listen.
Whatever happened, I'm trying to forget about it.
I hope you are doing the same.
Listen, where did this package come from?
Are you okay, Saira?
I'm okay. Who left this package--
I don't know, man! I don't know.
The bell rang, I opened the door, it was lying outside.
What happened at the leper colony was not right.
I'll speak to Dr. Ross.
Till then, proceed as usual.
My child...
Are you okay?
I'm missing him a lot today.
Gauri.
Shall I come?
Hmm.
Why do you stare at me with those accusing eyes?
I know why.
Despite being such an accomplished doctor,
I couldn't save the one person I loved the most.
The person who was my life.
Despite being a top neurosurgeon,
all I did was watch while my son slowly got ravaged by brain disease.
I couldn't do anything.
Nothing. I'm so sorry.
I'm so sorry, baby.
I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry!
Okay, that's it.
That's it.
I don't want to remember anything about you.
I will forget everything about you.
To forget you,
I will go to any lengths.
I will forget you
even if it means I have to destroy everyone.
I will forget you.
Everything.
Your brown eyes.
Your dishevelled hair.
Your crooked teeth.
Your huge smile.
I will forget everything.
Even the way you called me "Mama."
I was just so powerless. I'm so sorry!
