'This is the story of Roohi Jani,'
'who is currently busy in this red car.'
Omi, no!
Grandma! (panting)
- Omi... - Oh, sorry.
- I got a bit carried away. - It's okay.
Sorry, grandma.
'Who remembers their grandmother at such times?'
'Let me tell you.'
'Let's go to flashback.'
'Our story begins 14 years ago,'
'on the night when Indian TV got its first romantic scene.'
'And it was when Roohi Jani, living in Borivali,'
'encountered sex education.'
Roohi...
- Yes, grandma. - (song playing on TV)
Bring me some water.
Cold water.
- Roohi, dear... - Grandma?
'This is Subhadra Jani, AKA grandma.'
'Who is about to give Roohi a lesson in sex education.'
This piggy bank is precious to you, right?
When were you planning to break it open?
I'll break it after 4 years,
then I'll buy a scooter for myself with this money.
But what if you become careless with it
and this piggy bank...
(piggy bank breaks)
...breaks?
Subhadra!
Relax!
Was there any need to create such drama?
Who will clean up all this mess now?
Let it be. I was relaxed during your time.
And look what happened.
Oversmart!
'And this is Paakhi,'
'Garbha Idol winner in 1994,'
'and the runner-up in 1995,'
'because that year, Roohi was born.'
Come on, the break time is ending.
Roohi, please take care of it.
Alright.
It can't be fixed.
Honour is as delicate as a piggy bank,
once it's broken,
it can't be fixed.
Understood?
Don't forget it.
'And Roohi never forget grandma's advice.'
'But a few years later, when a guy entered Roohi's life,'
'she finally found a middle ground'
'between having fun and breaking the piggy bank.'
'The foreplay ground.'
(knock on car window)
What's going on here?
Wait, I'll show you.
Yes, show it.
'Omkar Jhadav, a full-time police officer, overtime boyfriend.'
Sir!
Sorry, sir. Sir, you continue.
I'll ensure nobody disturbs.
Sorry, sir.
(laughs)
Let's continue.
- Wait, I'll show you! - (laughs)
(phone ringing)
What was that?
Fine, I'll check.
Omi, what happened?
Sir said not to leave without a goodbye kiss from Roohi.
(chuckles)
Now give this kiss to your sir.
Okay?
Bye!
(doorbell rings)
Back to the late shift again!
I'll have to talk to your manager!
Yes, even Jen is worried,
bookings and events too...
How's Omkar?
Fine?
He should be okay.
And your piggy bank?
Piggy bank!
The piggy bank is also fine.
(giggles)
You are 27 years old. Get married now.
For a wedding, you need two things,
planning and money.
We only have planning.
- Yes... - Keep quiet.
(emotional music playing on TV)
This never happens in real life.
Just 100 episodes ago, they were in college,
and now, after a time leap,
she fell in love with her father's doctor.
Keep quiet.
'She remains unchanged, just like her college days.'
'I am a businessman lost in ledgers,'
'but when I see you, I get lost in memories all over again.'
'No matter how much Roohi pretended,'
'the truth was'
'that she also wanted to see'
'whether Pavitra would get lost in Manav's eyes or not.'
Roohi...
- Bring... - It's cold.
'This was Roohi's little world,'
'with a mix of romance and comedy.'
'However, in this family show,'
'entering with sex appeal was'
'the heir of Hotel Maharaja'
'and your future crush,'
'South Bombay's Samar Pratap Singh.'
(hollywood song playing)
Alisha, not now please.
Today is my first day, I can't be late.
Come on, babe.
Everybody knows the rules don't apply to the bosses.
'And this is Alisha, Samar's wife.'
I'm not the boss.
My father is.
For now.
But when you become one,
you'll be a much better one.
Thank you.
- Good morning, mother. - Good morning, Samar.
It seems Samar can see your wrinkles.
'Vandana Sharma, mother,'
'No, not Samar's mother, but Alisha's mother.'
Did you think about what I said?
Come on, mom.
I'm not that desperate.
Maybe it's time you get desperate.
But how can a couple be so happy without having sex for 3 years?
Jen, have you lost it?
You know our plan, right?
I can't talk about it now.
'But I can.'
'So, here's the plan.'
'First, Roohi will get a promotion from Duty Manager to HOD.'
'And our hero Officer Omkar will get a medal.'
'Then, a small function with 200 guests for a wedding.'
'For the honeymoon, Mauritius or Mahabaleshwar,'
'depending on how much the wedding goes over-budget.'
'And finally, the piggy bank will break there!'
Include a gynecologist in your plans too
because UTI won't be cured just by drinking juice.
Yes, I'm just not finding the time.
If you don't have time, go to the hospital near the office.
Yes, I'll do something.
I have to make an appointment about...
So, are you all prepped up for today's Sundowner?
Yes, ma'am.
The menu has been approved,
and the music will be ready till 4 o'clock.
Good.
It's the owners' private party.
Mumbai Royal Maharaja now will be run directly by the owner's son.
So, everyone has to be on their best behavior. Okay?
Bitch!
Keep quiet.
The owner's son!
You are personally involved already.
Are you excited to finally meet...
Our new boss.
Yes, I am very excited.
Roohi, wait.
Where are you taking me?
Come on, let's go. What's with the questions?
- Can I take it off? - Yes.
- Surprise! - (applause)
What's up, man?
Thank you so much, brother.
- Welcome back, baby. - Thank you.
Roohi, you can inform them the buffet is open.
Over.
That way, sir.
By the way, this is your job, but copy.
Roohi, channel number two please,
we need to discuss something important.
Tell me.
'When are you going to talk to your ex-crush?'
'Jen, are you still in school?'
I shouldn't have told you anything.
Why? If it was me, I would have shown off to everyone.
Over.
Show off?
What's there to show off about it?
Besides, he won't remember anything.
Over.
Yes.
He's waving at me, calling me over. What should I do?
Just go!
'And... speak with confidence.'
Make sure your lipstick isn't on your teeth, okay?
'Over.'
One second.
Hi.
Wait. Have we met before?
Anyway...
We're running out of booze.
My friends are all alcoholics.
You have to help me out here.
- Yeah. Sure, sir. It will be done. - Here you go.
I'm the duty manager.
I'm so sorry.
Here.
It will be done, sir. Thank you.
Asshole.
- Hi! - Hey!
I'm so proud of you!
Thank you.
So, you wanted to talk to me.
'Dr. Roshni Shetty, Samar's sister,'
'with whom he shares secrets,'
'but not DNA.'
For how long will we teach these old folks?
I wanted to go to Bollywood.
Me too, darling.
Thank you so much, aunts and uncles!
Now, it's time for our chief guest.
'Paakhi was there as the wedding choreographer.'
'But at that Marwadi wedding, Paakhi's focus was not on the dance,
but somewhere else.'
'Something I cannot reveal right now.'
'First, we should go to the place where our story'
'was about to change forever.'
See, thankfully you both don't have kids.
Less complications.
And if you are so sure that you want
- to separate from Alisha... - But that's the thing, Rosh.
I am not sure.
From chemotherapy to recovery, she has been there.
It's difficult, right?
Come on, Samar.
Don't we all know who Alisha is?
When you were in the hospital,
her lawyer's number was on her speed dial,
not the doctor's.
Listen...
I want my brother to be happy, okay?
Like me.
- Like Trish... - Like Trish.
Shut up.
My point is staying in that marriage out of fear, under force.
Is it even worth it?
(phone ringing)
Okay.
I'll be back in a second.
Till then, you think about this, okay?
- I will. - I'm coming back.
Go.
'Hi, Trish.'
'Yeah, I am coming.'
'What do you mean?'
Will you marry him just because dad said so?
So what if he's an IITian?
He's a guy.
And I'm a doctor too!
When the doctor told us that Samar has cancer,
I was shattered from within.
Then I looked into Samar's eyes
and I decided
nobody can take him away from me.
Not God,
nor testicular cancer.
Whoa! (applause)
And guess what?
I was right!
'You are wrong!'
Of course, he will find out!
You cannot pretend to be straight!
So let me get straight to the point!
For the next seven lifetimes,
I will always be with you.
And I will never ever leave you.
Trishu, please don't leave me.
We'll go to the US.
Everything is legal there.
Trust me. You don't have to hide any...
Hello? Hello?
Ma'am, you've got two appointments lined up today.
One is the UTI check-up in room number 5.
It was scheduled for 2 o'clock,
but the patient is running a bit late,
and the artificial insemination in room number 6 at 2:30.
Okay. Got it.
'No, she does not got it.'
(sighs)
Ma'am, after this, I'll see you in room number 6.
Send the procedure kit to the room.
Okay.
Hello, ma'am. Ready for your insemination?
Ma'am?
'For those who are unaware,'
'artificial insemination means when a doctor'
'injects a man's sperm into a woman'
'so that she can get pregnant without having sex.'
'Yes, it's Science, bitch!'
(scissors clatter)
- (clears throat) - Hello.
Sorry. My shift ended late yesterday, so...
But I didn't want to postpone this.
It's okay.
No problem.
If your husband wants to come in, it's completely fine.
I'm not married.
Really?
That is so brave of you.
Well, you made the right decision.
You shouldn't get involved with partners.
You always end up getting betrayed.
Doctor, are you okay?
Yeah. Yeah.
Just a bad day.
You tell me?
Do you have any questions before we begin the procedure?
I have never had sexual relations before.
So, is it normal?
Always remember
what's normal for you is solely your decision.
Now spread your legs.
And we're done.
You'll have your results in the next two weeks.
Okay.
I salute you.
Thank you.
Okay. So, are you ready for your checkup, Ms...
Alisha?
Mrs. Alisha, Roshni.
I am ready for the insemination.
What?
'Now she gets it.'
Look, Roshni,
this is Samar's last healthy sperm.
If it gets wasted,
then Samar will never be able to be a father,
and it'll be all your fault.
Okay.
Spread your legs.
'What!'
What did you give Alisha?
'Doctor Surbhi Pratap Singh.'
'Roshni's mother, Samar's stepmother.'
Saline.
F***!
'In Roohi's little world of romance and comedy,'
'so much drama was going to unfold'
'that even the favorite TV serial of the Jani family failed.'
- Yes? - Greetings.
Musa sent me
for the Goregoan product.
Hold on.
He's escaping! Come quickly!
Omkar!
Hey, wait!
Omkar!
I have something to show you.
Where is Mayasur?
Mayasur? Who's Mayasur?
'Mayasur, the Underground Criminal,'
'and the villain of this story.'
I'll beat you up! Tell me quickly!
Sir, I don't know.
Nobody has seen him. Only heard the name.
Take off his pants.
Sir?
- Can't you hear? Take off his pants! - Sir...
Sir! Sir!
Sir, please don't...
Sir! Sir! Don't do this. Please.
Sir! Sir!
- Sir... - Hey!
Speak quickly or else I'll shove this inside!
- Speak! Motherf***! - Sir...
Speak!
- I'll tell you, sir. - Yes!
Sir, I don't know his name.
He used to call from this number.
Find the details of this number.
M***!
Get used to it, Samar Pratap Singh.
Why?
You are going to be a father.
Maybe.
Yeah, okay.
I'm sorry. What!
I used the sperm sample.
I thought both of us wanted this.
That's why we froze the sperm, right?
Yeah, of course, but...
Aren't you happy?
Yes. (chuckles)
Of course.
'Of course not.'
Mom, I'm very scared.
I'll tell that girl
- before she gets to know... - Wait!
- (phone ringing) - Keep the phone aside!
Statistically, with artificial insemination,
there's only a 30 percent chance of pregnancy.
But ma'am, this hair dryer is the hotel's property.
No, it's my property!
The hotel's name is written on it, ma'am. Please check.
Even my father is a Maharaja in Rohtak.
What are you on about?
- I'm trying to explain... Hold on! - Ma'am.
May I help you, ma'am?
Ma'am, tell me. We'll try our best to help you.
- Look, I told her... - Ma'am.
Roohi!
What happened, Roohi?
Akshay, please bring water.
Roohi, get up. What happened?
I've told you earlier
work according to your salary!
You've exerted yourself!
Call your manager.
- Why do you work overtime? - Mom, just wait.
I'm perfectly fine.
Yes, she's absolutely fine.
Congratulations. You are pregnant.
(laughter)
Impossible!
That's not possible.
Urine tests are mostly accurate.
Not this time, doctor.
My daughter is not yet married.
She's a virgin.
Dear, mistakes can happen.
We get many such cases.
You can tell your mom the truth.
She is telling the truth.
Aren't you?
Yes, mom!
Look, please, listen to me...
Listen! My daughter gave a promise to my mother, her grandmother,
that no matter what happens,
she will not break her piggy bank before marriage.
She has a steady boyfriend,
but he has been patiently waiting for the past three years.
Want to know why?
Because Roohi never breaks her promise.
Understand, uncle?
Okay, relax.
Aunt, let's get one more test done.
This time, from my side.
Sure, let's do it.
Come!
Your daughter has broken her piggy bank...
I mean, her promise.
She is definitely pregnant.
What the...
Did you receive the degree through correspondence?
What's the name of your college?
AIMS Hyderabad, 1997 batch,
roll number 26. You can verify it.
He's telling the truth.
Subhadra will go crazy!
We cannot let it happen again in our house.
Call Omkar.
Tell him to get married right away.
We cannot change our home again.
Mom, hold on. Relax. Let me think!
I... I will call the gynecologist.
Yes.
She will definitely be smarter than him.
Yes, go ahead.
Hello? Dr. Roshni...
What?
- When? Who? - How?
That day, I had two patients.
One was for your UTI checkup, and the other was for insemination.
What?
What the hell have you done, Roshni!
Have you lost it?
No.
'No. It is the symptom of a broken heart.'
Actually, on that day, Trisha and I broke up,
I was just having a really bad day.
Is this your excuse?
Who made you a doctor?
Remove your name from here!
Who gave you the degree?
I want to talk to the college principal about this!
Ma'am, I am genuinely very sorry.
Look, here are some pills you can take.
Because this was an accident,
you don't need to inform the father either.
Father?
This was my last chance to become a father, Roshni!
Why do you always keep f*** up?
Let's all just calm down.
Obviously, we can't change what happened.
But Roshni,
I really need this baby.
I mean, we...
really need this baby.
So, please talk to that girl.
And don't talk to me, please!
Now, talk to us directly in court!
Ma'am? Ma'am, listen to me.
Mom, listen...
Roohi, our friend Mangesh, I mean Mangya...
his destination wedding is in Kashmir.
Will you come along?
What a nice photo!
- Omi... - Yes?
I want to talk to you.
I know you don't like Mangya,
but trust me, he doesn't have a crush on you anymore.
- No, no, Omi... - Yes.
Why do you serve so little chutney?
Yes, tell me.
So, Imagine
if someone else's food gets served on our table,
how will you react?
What do you mean?
If there's a vegetarian dish, we'll also have some.
Yes, right.
There's a small problem.
Instead of food...
it's a baby...
and I'm a little pregnant.
'Omkar had taken training for everything in his career,'
'from dance bar raids to Chinese water torture.'
'but no one had taught him the cheat code for this crisis'
'and why would they?'
Roohi!
You can't eat someone else's food.
You haven't eaten my food yet.
- It's not like that... - No, please return it immediately.
What is this? Serve some chutney!
Chill, bro.
Accidental pregnancies happen.
It's happened to me 2-3 times, it's not a big deal.
"Raj Malhotra, unfortunately Samar's best friend,'
'whom you should never seek advice from.'
You know, the idea of freezing sperm was mine.
I thought I'd be a better father than my dad.
Now, how do I go and tell my hotel employee,
"Hey, sister, please have my baby.'"
At least ask her once.
Maybe she'll agree. You never know, bro!
Even if she agrees, what about Alisha?
Look at the timing!
Raj, Alisha, and I...
We couldn't become a good couple,
how can we become parents?
How?
Look at Alisha!
She's so homely, caring,
- and full of motherly love. - Yeah.
Didn't you see how she readily agreed
to adopt someone else's child?
And with this kid,
maybe it'll bring you both closer again.
You know, all my friends are on dating apps.
They have hookups, go out together,
but Omkar and I,
in three years, haven't done anything...
I know.
This shouldn't have happened to me.
I was never irresponsible.
Like me?
What have you done?
- You've defamed us. - His parents are against this marriage.
They want a rich girl.
What should I do, mom?
Then speak to him.
He's not here.
His dad sent him abroad.
So, he has run away!
Your dad loved you all these years.
He pampered you to such an extent
that this is the outcome!
Roohi...
Roohi, don't stop your life and dreams for someone else's mistake.
Mom...
Did your life come to a halt because of me?
You are the best part of my life.
That wasn't my question.
Good night, Roohi.
Go to sleep.
(knock on door)
Yeah.
- Hi, sir. May I come in? - Hi.
Yeah, please.
Hi, sir.
I think I know what this is about.
You do?
Yes, sir. I called you an a*** at the party.
I'm really sorry. I don't know what was I...
Roohi.
This is not about that.
No?
Why don't you sit down?
Come.
Please.
Sir, I am fine. I'm okay.
Thank you, sir.
Okay.
I'm just going to say it.
I'm the father.
Oh, how nice. Of?
Yes.
You.
Oh God!
Are you okay?
You want some water?
No.
'At that moment, Roohi's mind was filled with several questions,'
'with the biggest one being,'
'Where does this happen?'
'So much coincidence?'
Actually, we had already met before.
Maharaja, Goa, 2016.
I had gone there for my internship.
Perhaps we ordered the same thing.
It's okay, take it.
Thanks.
You even took it!
Show some courtesy and manners
and tell us to take it. After all, ladies first, right?
No?
(laughter)
So...
Hotel Management.
- Then GM. - Yeah.
- And then? - VP.
VP.
So that's the plan.
The practical plan.
But what's the dream?
Dream?
I do want to become a writer.
I want to write stories.
What kind of stories?
Romantic stories, like,
old-school romance, you know?
The ones that make you fall in love just by reading them.
That's a better plan!
Yeah, and an impractical one.
Yes, but there's fun in being impractical.
I mean, think about it.
We only have one life.
Just let it go.
Really?
So, what's your impractical plan, your dream?
Well...
I want to be the hero in an old-school romance,
the one that makes you...
...fall?
Fall in love just by reading it.
That.
That was my first kiss.
Ever?
Yeah.
After that, I didn't even message you.
Roohi, I am...
I was a completely different person back then.
I was hardly sober.
F***! You are right.
I am an asshole.
- No, it's okay. - I should know.
Listen, no, it's okay.
This happened long back. Just let it go.
Okay, look.
I know this situation is very awkward for you,
but if I don't say this now,
I'm going to regret it all my life.
Would you consider having...
my baby?
What!
No!
Pregnancy wasn't my choice,
but what I do from now on is my choice, right?
I also want to focus on my work,
save money,
- get married... - No, Roohi.
My wife and I,
we will take complete care of this baby,
and you won't even have to be involved.
But how can I not be involved?
It's still my baby.
You and your wife might be very good people,
but what's the guarantee that you'll be good parents too?
Look...
I didn't have a normal childhood.
My father
abandoned us, so...
I don't want the same thing to happen to my baby...
You know, I...
I'm sorry, I can't.
I understand.
I just don't understand!
Did you tell her about your cancer?
No?
And money! Did you offer money?
Alisha!
I won't buy her baby through emotional blackmail, please!
Hey. All good?
Samar will ruin my entire plan.
'Oh, yes. So, this is Alisha's grand plan.'
'If Alisha and Samar get a divorce,'
'she'll get X amount.'
'Because she's just a wife.'
'But after becoming a mother, when one files for divorce,'
'her alimony will be X times 10.'
'Now, some people might say it's fraud,'
'but Alisha doesn't even talk to those people.'
Hey!
Why are you worrying?
You always get what you want.
'I've been wanting to tell you something for a few days, Avantika.'
'Yes, Vanraj. Tell me openly.'
'There is someone else in my life.'
'What?'
'Dad! Dad!'
'Hey!'
'My darling!'
'He's my darling.'
(sighs)
- 'Hi. - Hi.'
- 'I am Avantika. And you? - Ronesh.'
'Ronesh!'
'That's a lovely name.'
'Thank you.'
(cell phone chimes)
'That's my boy.'
Okay, Roohi. You are a very nice person...
Okay, Roohi.
You are a very nice person,
and that's one of the reasons I love you.
But if after meeting that family,
you've changed your mind, then I just want to say,
please don't do this to us.
And to convince you,
I have made a list of Cons because
- there isn't a single Pro to it. - Omi...
Firstly, people won't understand it.
I myself don't understand it.
- Number two, your career. - Omi.
Okay.
What I am trying to say is, I know this is your decision.
But we have been together for three years,
and we'll be together for 30 more years.
So, I should also have a say in this decision, right?
Omi, relax.
I am going to get an abortion tomorrow itself.
Okay, I will come with you.
Roohi gave me the list for the veneration.
Such a nice human being.
Roohi, I will take your leave.
Greetings, aunt.
Roohi, I didn't expect this from you.
You gave me a promise...
and broke it too.
No, grandma. I haven't broken any promise.
I went to the gynecologist for a normal checkup,
and she got confused
and accidentally injected someone else's sperm into me.
You've started lying as well now!
Do you remember that movie...
'Good Newwz' with Akshay Kumar?
The movie showed about IVF.
Now?
Nothing.
Today, I met the father of this baby.
He wants the child,
but I can't do it.
That's why I have to get an abortion.
(sighs)
28 years ago,
your mom was in a similar state.
Even I told her to abort the child back then.
'If he is not marrying you'
'then abort this child!'
'I won't get an abortion!'
'Are you saying this?'
'You always preached everyone about...'
But thank God
she didn't listen to me.
Else you wouldn't be a part of our lives.
We wouldn’t have been a family.
Roohi?
- I am Samar's wife. - I know.
Do you have five minutes?
Roohi, you are a woman,
so maybe you can understand what I have gone through for this baby.
We had two miscarriages,
so I know the pain of losing a child.
After Samar's recovery, we were brave enough to try again,
but then this happened.
This is our last chance to finally become a family.
'Roohi, maybe it was fate,'
'but it was you of all people.'
'Your whole life is ahead of you.'
'Choose yourself.'
'Please don't do this to us.'
'Abort this child.'
'She took the responsibility of nurturing you for 2 years all on her own.'
'Else you wouldn't be a part of our lives.'
'I will make sure that we take care of this baby'
'and you won't even have to be involved.'
Sure?
I have thought a lot about this.
Many people love this baby.
Aborting it
doesn't feel right.
Roohi has matured a lot.
Bless you.
I remembered a line from Gulzar's song.
I'm not angry with you life...
I'm simply baffled.
I'm distressed.
I never thought that to live...
I would need to bear men.
(laughter)
I am coming!
He must be wearing a wig.
Nobody knows he wears a wig for the past 10 years.
I am here.
Sir...
Sir, we'll have to retake the scene with the son.
I'll be there in 10 minutes.
'Oh, yes! I forgot to reveal the celebrity guest.'
'Vanraj was receiving a lot of love'
'and attention in this Marwadi wedding,'
- 'along with 5 lakhs plus GST.' - (applause)
'But for the first time,'
'his focus was not on himself, but on someone else.'
(song playing)
'What exactly Vanraj saw in that photo, I don’t know.'
'But it's time to reveal that this celebrity is actually Roohi’s dad.'
Treat this as a 9-month break from our plan.
Why are you suffering for someone else?
Maybe it's destiny that it happened to me.
I was also a mistake.
You know, Omi,
when my mother was pregnant,
everyone abandoned her.
But my mother never abandoned me.
She made every effort to give me the best life possible.
Roohi, you are making such a big decision,
you must have your reasons.
But if you ask me,
I'm not okay with it.
But if there's one bad thing that can come out
of this whole incident, it's losing you.
And I won't let that happen.
Trust me.
Nothing will change between us.
'Neither Roohi nor Omkar knew,'
'but trust me, a lot is going to change ahead.'
Thank you, brother!
I knew that you'll get me released.
The police can't refuse you.
You are one of us
that's why you survived.
Are you okay?
They beat me a lot.
They only gave me one banana in the police station.
That's why I brought you a vada pav.
Thank you, brother.
Eat it, and then we'll attend the meeting.
Sure.
