(applause)
'Roohi received a total of 8 medals in her life,'
'had 6 stitches...'
Mom, I'm playing Snake on your phone!
'...she got shocked 4 times.'
'And she missed her dad 9,985 times,'
(bicycle bell chime)
'once for each day of her life.'
(grunts)
(coughing)
'In some difficult situations, Roohi missed her dad even more.'
'A responsible father who protected her from getting shocked'
'and made her life a bit easier.'
'But life is not easy.'
'The world is very small,'
'and there are countless mistakes'
'for which you have'
'the right to seek forgiveness.'
'In life, in the heart...'
For how long won't you speak to her?
How many years did she lie to me?
27 years, right?
I won't talk to her for 27 years.
She was just 19 years-old back then.
Grandma, please!
There's no age for telling the truth.
No!
Roohi...
Just talk to me once, please.
What should I talk about with you?
What will you tell me?
Did you not tell Vanraj anything about me?
Are you still not letting us meet?
You have only and only lied throughout your life.
Sometimes to the family, sometimes to grandma.
But I never expected you to lie to me to such an extent!
I always thought about you...
Why? Don't think!
And please don't decide for me.
Your wrong decisions always make me and grandma suffer.
Roohi, at least eat something.
Roohi, isn't this good news?
You've always wanted to meet your dad.
'Hi, Roohi. This is Vanraj Kapoor.'
'Manav from 'Tera hone laga hoon dobara'.'
'You must have seen the series.'
'I wanted to meet you.'
'If it is, please save my number and do message me back.'
'Dude, this isn't working!'
'Please reschedule my hair transplant session!'
'Oh, I'm so sorry. The call didn't get disconnected.'
Until yesterday, Vanraj Kapoor was Manav to me.
He was romancing Pavitra,
going to crack a 300 crore import-export deal.
His ex-wife was about to frame him with a fake case.
And now suddenly, he turned out to be my dad!
Is this some TV show?
Yeah.
What 'yeah'?
Even if I accept for a second that he is my dad,
what guarantee is there
that our interests will match?
What if he doesn't like the combination of 'khakra' and schezwan?
What if his favorite color turns out to be blue?
What if I don't like him
or he doesn't like me?
I mean, he didn't want me.
Roohi,
how will you know if you don't meet him?
He was 19 when this happened to him.
When I found out about your pregnancy,
I was shocked even though I was 29.
At least give him a chance.
'Give me a chance, Samar.'
I mean, what is this?
Samar, please, I'll fix everything.
We can go for counseling,
there are other ways.
I don't want you to miss out on this child
due to my mistake.
- And if Roohi finds out... - Alisha!
I really suggest you talk to your lawyer.
Please.
Samar, I love you, please.
Don't do this, we can figure it out.
You shouldn't have slept with my friend.
Oh, I am sorry.
My best friend.
Samar...
It's okay, dear.
Don't take stress.
Stress causes hair fall.
Do you remember
your beauty will take you far.
Smile.
How many events do we have this weekend?
Roohi, let's discuss the important updates first.
You turned out to be a real star-kid!
Your life is a bit dramatic.
'A bit dramatic?'
'I'm the father.'
'Of?'
'Roohi is not your, but our daughter.'
'Quite dramatic!'
Samar sir has called you to the office.
What happened now?
Is there something you wanted to talk about?
Yeah.
'Yes! That she's not in the sister zone now.'
Oh f***!
Alisha and I are getting a divorce.
What!
She was having an affair.
Yeah.
Look, I don't want to get into the details
because it doesn't matter.
But what's important is that I wanted to tell you
(clears throat) because I wanted to be honest with you.
But I just want to make it clear that moving forward,
I really want this baby.
Just you?
Alone?
Yes, Roohi.
And I won't let this child ever feel the lack of anything.
I know this is not how you wanted it,
but I really hope
that this won't change your decision.
I need some time to think about it.
Yes, of course. I understand.
However...
I just want to say one thing that
I'm going to be the best father, ever.
'On one side, where Samar wanted to prove to Roohi'
'that he could be a good father,'
'Vanraj wanted to prove to himself'
'that he is a good father.'
Hey! Dad. Daughter.
Dear...
Over the top.
Come on, man!
Vanraj!
- Sir... Sir! - Yes?
Some Roohi has come to meet you.
Yes, just a minute.
What is all this, Uncle Vanraj?
Uncle?
Dad, dear. Call me dad!
I just regret that we didn't meet earlier.
It's not your fault.
I wish we had met during my childhood.
But mom...
she lies to everyone.
That's her old habit.
But you'll have to come out of that world of lies, Roohi.
Why don't you shift with me for a few days?
- Really? - Of course!
It's such a big apartment,
4 and a half bedrooms, 2 and a half bathrooms,
Wi-Fi in every corner
with a strong signal.
What do you say?
But grandma?
Grandma?
Grandma.
Oh, even I am fed up with Paakhi.
I am ready to leave. Look.
'Now when Paakhi will be alone,'
'she will understand'
(laughs)
'what I went through.'
(laughs)
(wailing)
Then I'll die alone in this house.
I won't be able to call anyone.
There's no signal in this house half the time.
Half?
(wailing)
Enough, dear.
You have lost your mind watching television!
When did I become the villain in people's lives?
My own daughter hates me.
Look, dear, a mother and daughter may fight
and argue as much as they want, we do that too...
but they can never hate each other.
So stop thinking such negative thoughts.
'Paakhi was just blabbering in her own dreams,'
'while Vanraj was speaking gibberish in reality.'
Wow!
Along with the food,
there's also a steam facial.
Come. Chicken sizzler. Very good.
It was ordered from an expensive restaurant. Very good.
Actually, I am a vegetarian.
Sorry.
Oh!
We'll order another. Don't worry.
Champagne...
This is specially for you.
Excuse me, sir.
I am pregnant.
'She has never been missing for so long.'
I tried her phone so many times.
I even called her friends, but no news.
Just after crossing Pune, Roshni swiped her card.
'Do you remember Roshni?'
Don't worry, you know how she is. It's her old habit.
I'll look into it. Don't worry.
She'll be fine.
- I'll see you later. - Yeah, come.
- Bye. - I'll see you.
(clears throat)
I need all the employees' records,
background details, check-in timings...
- And HR complaints too. - Yes.
I need to verify who was on duty on the day of the murder.
You know I have a back office
where people can help you quickly,
so why do you come here?
Those people are suspects themselves.
So now, one of my hotel employees committed the murder?
I can't reveal anything. The investigation is ongoing.
That's if there's something to reveal, right?
There are certain procedures
that you don't need to know about.
Alright. You...
just submit an official request for the list.
- I'll see what I can do. - Why?
There are certain procedures that you don't need to know about.
'By now you must have figured out'
'that these two alpha males'
'weren't fighting over professional matters.'
'This was personal.'
'Very personal.'
This is the first time I'm visiting any set.
It's very beautiful.
I designed it myself.
See that chandelier?
It was specially imported from Istanbul.
These television production people have no idea about luxury.
They are always trying to cut costs.
But I made up my mind too.
I said I won't leave the vanity van until it arrives,
and there it was.
Look, I don't say this often, but
since today is a special occasion,
so tell me something about yourself.
You already know everything about me.
I work as a duty manager at the Maharaja Hotel,
and I've been working there for 2 years.
And whenever I get some free time,
I do some writing on the side.
Writing!
Talented girl.
After all, you are my daughter.
(clears throat)
Let me tell you a secret.
If you want to progress in your career,
crush the competition first.
The ex-husband of Pavitra, who is with me, Dr. Harshvardhan,
the TRPs were increasing because of him...
Suddenly, why did he go into a coma?
(coughing)
Are you...
Raju!
Bring my special water. My water.
Yes, drink this.
Black water, especially imported from Europe.
It's only available for me on this set.
So, how was the meeting?
Wow! This...
There's still some water left.
Roohi! There's...
Roohi!
He can't be my father!
We have nothing in common.
I mean, he shows off about everything,
even water!
Yes.
Seriously!
I'll have to tell mom about this...
Should I call mom?
She has called three times since morning, so...
(groans)
Darn! It's the worst day!
First Samar, and now this Vanraj Kapoor!
Samar? Why Samar?
Samar came to meet me this morning.
Samar and Alisha are getting divorced.
Alisha was having an affair. Can you believe that?
'Of course, he could believe that.'
'But he couldn't share it with Roohi.'
- What? Really? - Yes!
Samar wants this child but without Alisha.
I don't understand what's happening these past two days.
Omi, so disorganized!
If you need an important document, you won't find it!
Yes.
Isn't this the list of our hotel employees?
Yes, and they are also a murder suspect.
We are exploring all theories, don't tell anyone.
No, no. I won't tell anyone.
But if someone needs to be arrested,
then arrest Ram Dayal.
He never punches in or punches out!
And on top of that, he annoys a lot on salary day!
Should I shoot him?
What?
Then I showed her my collection of designer watches and sunglasses.
I even gave her a gift,
but she's so shy
that she refused it. Should I sit down?
Did you just give her gifts or even talk to her?
We spoke a lot.
I shared insider gossip about the industry,
talked about myself,
that how her father is the highest-paid TV actor,
I even gave her career advice.
She seemed
so happy that she couldn't say much.
Is she currently at work or busy with the wedding shopping?
I've been calling her, but she's not answering.
Did she not like me?
Roohi is a simple girl.
She doesn't like to show off.
But I just wanted to impress her
and make her proud of me.
Then tell her about yourself.
I was doing just that.
Not about Actor Vanraj Kapoor,
but about the person behind Vanraj,
the one who has struggled so much in life.
- Brij... - No!
Don't mention that name.
Please talk to Roohi once.
Tell her that I was very nervous.
Tell her to give her dad one more chance.
Roohi is not talking to me.
She is upset with me.
Because of me?
No.
Because of me.
She needs her father, Vanraj.
Fulfill that void in her life,
but not with pretense,
with love.
Do you remember this?
I just wanted to show you before...
We were so happy together.
Then one bad thing after another.
Your cancer,
the miscarriage...
But Samar, you can still put the baby's handprint on it.
You can finally have your happily ever after.
You will be fine, Alisha.
Maybe.
But I'll never be happy again.
What we had...
...that was...
...magical.
I'm sorry.
We can't do this.
Please, don't make this more complicated than it already is.
'But that's what Alisha wanted.'
The alimony amount is fixed.
Just cooperate.
It will be easier for both of us.
'Paakhi always a few things about her daughter.'
'Her honesty, understanding what's right from wrong,'
'And she didn't take after her mom at all.'
'But today, Roohi's words backfired on her.'
(knock on door)
Roohi!
(knock on door)
Roohi, come outside.
We always eat together.
I'm not hungry.
I know you went to meet Vanraj.
Do you want to talk about it?
I don't want to talk to you!
Yes, I met him,
and I realized I don't know him,
and he definitely doesn't know me, so no thanks!
Roohi...
(huffs)
I know,
maybe I couldn't be the best mother,
but still,
I got the best daughter in the world.
Roohi, when you were growing up,
I often thought about telling you all of this.
Seriously!
Then why didn't you tell me?
I don't understand why you didn't tell me!
You won't understand, dear.
Because you haven't become a mother yet.
(huffs)
I was scared. I...
I was very scared.
Vanraj became successful,
and what if he had asked for your custody from me?
What if he took you away from me?
He...
He could have given you everything that I couldn't.
He has everything, Roohi.
And I have
nothing else except my daughter.
Even then, you were thinking about yourself.
(exhales sharply)
Try to understand others' perspectives sometimes,
Roohi, give people a chance.
(indistinct chatter)
'When Paakhi told Vanraj'
'that Roohi doesn't like show-offs at all,'
'he took it a bit too seriously.'
'And for lunch, he came to Sarvodaya Vihar,'
'a pure vegetarian restaurant, since 1957.'
Waiter!
What's on the menu?
'Idli sambar', 'vada sambar', 'masala dosa',
'cheese masala dosa', 'uthappa', 'tomato uthappa', 'onion uthappa',
veg manchurian, veg cutlet, Chinese 'pav bhaji',
'Hawaii pizza', 'Jain mozzarella pizza',
veg 65, 'paneer 65'.
Can you repeat that?
'Paper dosa', 'sada dosa', 'masala dosa'...
'Paper dosa'.
One 'paper dosa'.
One 'masala dosa' for him.
- The 'masala dosa' here is great. - Fine.
- 'Masala'... - And 'cheese pav bhaji'.
- Also, one sweet corn soup. - Yes.
One by two.
One by three.
(chuckles)
Drinks?
What's there to drink?
Apple juice, sweet lime juice,
- orange juice... - Water.
- Plain water. - Water.
Chhotu, serve some water.
Aa...
No.
Excuse me. One mineral water.
One normal mineral water.
Thank you for meeting me once again, Roohi.
Shall we start from the beginning?
There's something very important I need to tell you.
'Roohi had no faith in her own destiny.'
'In this moment, Vanraj could say anything next.'
Tell me.
The doctor has given me only three months, dear.
'I have two more illegitimate children.'
'Paakhi is not your real mother.'
Vanraj Kapoor is my industry alias.
My real name
is Brijbhushan.
Brijbhushan Bhansodiya.
'Okay.'
'Perhaps you folks might find this just interesting trivia.'
'But Roohi understood that for Vanraj, I mean...'
'For Brijbhushan Bhansodiya, this moment was very significant.'
'He never used to disclose his true age and name to anyone.'
Thank you for letting me know.
(phone ringing)
I'm so sorry. Excuse me. I have to take this.
When I played an inspector too,
I used to leave scenes like this as well.
It must be something important, definitely.
Maybe a new lead or something.
'Mr. Bhansodiya was right.'
Omkar, all the employees have foolproof alibis.
No one has a criminal record.
Darn!
Okay.
By the way, check one more name. Ram Dayal.
- One minute. - He's a bell boy.
Ram Dayal...
His name isn't in the attendance record.
I don't think he came on the day of the murder.
Call him in for questioning.
Listen, I'm getting another call. Bye. I'll talk later.
Sir, 'cheese pav bhaji'.
- Ma'am, 'paper dosa'. - Thank you.
Thank you.
'Finally, the food has arrived and Vanraj is behaving normally too.'
- When I was a struggler... - 'All okay'.
I didn't have much money.
I was broke.
So, I used to take your mother on dates to a similar Udupi restaurant.
Roohi, dear, Paakhi is not at fault in all this.
Back then, I didn't have anything.
My parents had kicked me out of the house.
I used to sleep on my friends' couches.
I had a decent shirt that I used for auditions.
At that time, even if Paakhi had told me about you,
I don't know if I could have become a good father for you.
Whatever Paakhi did for your well-being...
I don't want to talk about this matter.
But dear, sometimes look at things from Paakhi's perspective too.
Have both of you ever seen things from my perspective?
In school, all the fathers
used to drop their children on bikes.
They used to sit in the audience and clap during the annual day.
They scolded at parent-teacher meetings.
And me...
(huffs)
I was solving Grandma's health problems alone.
I used to drop myself at school,
and after school, I used to pick myself up.
Everyone teased me.
'Roohi's dad abandoned her.'
(sighs)
On every birthday, every Father's Day,
every Daughter's Day,
I've only thought about why my dad isn't with me.
'Exactly 9,985 times.'
Mr. Vanraj, I don't think this is the right time.
We shouldn't force this.
We've lived without each other for so many years,
we can continue to live without each other.
Roohi?
Roohi...
Are you okay?
Roohi...
- Roohi? - Stop the car.
What?
Roohi!
(sobbing)
Roohi!
Roohi.
- Roohi, listen to me. - Omkar, not now.
Maybe this is about your mom or dad,
but if I know you,
then I know this isn't just about those two things.
Life isn't perfect.
I'm starting to understand that now.
If you keep chasing perfection, then how will you be happy?
And if you're not happy, how will I be happy?
'And there, at that moment,'
'Omkar finally understood Roohi's pain.'
'And he made a decision'
'that could change everything in the future,'
'no matter how much his mom yelled.'
I know what you want.
And I'm ready to support you in that.
Samar, I can't give you my child.
Whether you and Alisha
- get divorced or not... - Roohi.
- We're getting a divorce. - Yeah. But,
maybe you'll remarry in the future.
There will be somebody else.
What guarantee do I have that my baby will get a good mother?
But this is my child too, Roohi.
Yeah, but that's why I'm proposing visitation rights.
But primary custody will remain with me and Omkar.
Samar, a child needs a balanced home.
They need both parents.
I don't want my baby
- to lack... - Roohi, one second.
So, you don't trust me as a father?
I've just started trusting myself as a mother.
Do you feel the same?
This is our decision.
Roohi and I will give this child a good life.
What are you guys talking about!
This is f***** up!
- Wait, one second! - What?
I can take both of you to court. Do you understand?
Samar, I know it's not perfect.
But it's the best for this child.
And if you want to take us to court then okay.
I'm ready.
Man!
You want to go for a walk?
Are you okay?
What will you tell your mom?
We will tell her
- that you forced me. - (chuckles)
I know this decision wasn't easy for you.
Thank you.
Life isn't easy.
We'll manage together.
I love you, Omi.
I love you, too.
(phone ringing)
I am sorry.
Yes, Faiza.
Omkar, your doubt was absolutely right.
In the staff elevator's CCTV, Ram Dayal
is seen on the murder floor 5 minutes ago.
That too, with a trolley.
Do you really think they'll pay that much to stay here?
Of course, son.
They're high-profile clients.
Everyone get cosmetic surgeries done,
but nobody wants to admit it.
(scoffs)
Weird times, huh.
I'll see what I can do.
I heard that
you and Alisha are getting a divorce.
Yes.
But that's not the only thing that's worrying you.
I don't know what Roohi is doing with Omkar.
I just feel that she deserves someone better.
You know...
somebody who can really push her
to pursue her dreams.
Someone like...
Someone like you.
You're saying anything.
No, mom. No. Of course, not.
'Of course, yes.'
She's just the mother of my child.
And I want what's best for her and our baby.
Do I feel protective?
Yeah, I am.
And that Omkar...
Ma'am, where can I find Ram Dayal?
He's there, sir.
Okay, thank you.
I don't know how I'll co-parent with him, mom?
He's f*** nobody!
Mom...
Mom?
(screams)
Darn!
'There are moments in crime shows'
'when the hero finally catches the criminal red handed'
'and solves a complicated case.'
Call an ambulance!
- 'This was not that moment.' - The ambulance is on the way.
Who did this?
- Maya... - Yes?
- Maya... - Yes, Mayasur. Go on.
Mayasur?
What is Mayasur?
Yes...
(doorbell rings)
(yells indistinctly)
Not what,
but who.
I am sorry.
I tried my best.
It's okay, dear.
It's okay.
Don't cry.
You will get dark circles, dear.
Don't you remember what I said?
I said your beauty...
Will take me ahead.
Yes.
(sharp yelp)
F***!
Shush! Be quiet.
Hello, police station.
Save my daughter.
Please help!
That dimwit Ram Dayal
turned out to be a f***!
Who told him to die?
He f***** the entire investigation!
Omi!
Sorry.
I know it's a setback,
but you've solved even more complicated cases.
Do you remember Salim Langda?
The way you solved that case. Wow!
Start from the beginning.
Create a timeline, pay attention to every clue.
You're the one who says, it's all about the details.
Do you want to be my partner?
I am your partner.
So, as a life partner,
please don't stop me today.
Omi...
- Every time... - Go and sit inside the car.
Just one.
Omi, just one.
Oh my God, Omkar Jadhav!
What will become of you?
Come on, shall we leave?
What happened?
You knew.
Roohi...
You knew Alisha was having an affair
with Samar's best friend
and you didn't tell me.
You lied to me.
Well, it was a police matter, so...
You are still lying.
Yes, I lied to you.
I knew that if you found out, you wouldn't give them the child.
Had you been in my place...
Had I been in your place, I don't know how I would've reacted.
But I wouldn't give anyone's kid to Alisha, who is a liar, a cheater,
and perhaps a murder suspect.
Roohi... Roohi, listen to me.
Consider this my immaturity.
I wasn't ready for this child's responsibility.
But I am now. Roohi, I am now.
Things have changed.
Omi, do you understand?
I'm giving birth to this child.
I want to keep it.
- I know. - What do you know?
How do I believe that you will truly love this child
and truly accept it?
How can I trust you, Omkar?
How?
How can you trust me?
Really?
Roohi, what more should I do to prove
that I love you, and you can trust me?
I was never comfortable with this situation involving another's child.
But I still supported you at every step.
I went against my parents!
Even after knowing about your and Samar's past,
I was okay you working with him.
- Hold on... - This situation...
This situation is not just weird for you.
Whatever happened between me and Samar was seven years ago!
Okay!
And I didn't hide anything about it.
I told you the truth.
What do you mean by whose kid? It's my child too.
How can I give it to anyone?
Do you think you've sacrificed a lot in this relationship?
Huh?
I don't want you to be in a relationship
where you feel that you're just making sacrifices.
How can I be happy knowing you aren't happy?
(whimpering)
Maybe...
Maybe we aren't strong enough
to face all the problems together.
Maybe we're not.
You know what?
Maybe you are right.
'As I said'
'nobody's life is easy.'
'But there are dear ones'
'who support us in making these difficult situations'
'a bit easier.'
'That night when Roohi felt her father's presence'
'for the first time during a challenging moment,'
'she thought that maybe...'
'Maybe she and Vanraj could start anew.'
'Maybe our dear ones deserve a second chance'
'for the mistakes they make.'
'So why not Omkar?'
'And maybe...'
'Maybe life will become easier one day.'
'But amidst all these maybes,'
'she was absolutely certain about one thing.'
'Since childhood, there was one person'
'who never left her side.'
Darn this switch!
Thank you.
