Why don't you both go to Murree for your honeymoon?
I will go too.
When you get married, you can go.
I am speaking to them since it's their honeymoon.
Yes. We can go, but...
...I can't leave the shop.
Yes, right. He is busy.
What is he right about?
You don't get married every day. Besides, you have Alam.
He can man the counter.
Take a week off.
Mom, there are other work to do. It's wedding season, so...
I won't have time. Or we would definitely go.
The wedding season will carry on and so will your business.
This is your time to enjoy.
Once you go to Murree...
...you should go to Kashmir point.
Take lots of photos.
Like honeymoon couples do.
Me and Sohail's dad also did.
Sobiya, get the album.
I will right away. - Let it go. There is no need.
Why not?
She is an artist and understands artistic motivations. Right?
Yes, aunt.
You know...
I was so happy...
...to know that you are an artist.
I loved my hobbies.
Painting, dancing, acting.
Girls in college used to call me Madhuri Dixit
Eat up, mom. - Yes, I'm eating.
Okay, forget everything and just paint.
Sobiya, what is it? Didn't you find the album?
No, I don't know where you kept it.
This girl can't do anything.
Anyway.
Sohail. - Yes.
You are a strange family.
What do you mean?
It's not in a bad way.
I mean...
...meaning...
What?
I think, tomorrow...
...I should go to mom's place for a bit.
You should.
Salma.
Are you happy?
I don't know.
But I am not sad either.
What does that mean?
Not happy, Not sad.
Don't you want to go back to college?
You have a few months to go, right?
We are going to Murree for a few days.
I will go back to college after we get back.
Aunty insisted.
Wow. Your mother-in-law is the best, Salma!
Salma must be happy.
She hates studying anyway, right?
Look at this suit, Shabana.
And look at this one. You'll like it.
Yes, it's nice.
'And just like that I have become a guest in my own home.'
'As well as a stranger.'
'Whenever I visit...
...I will be treated to a good meal like a guest...
...and a comfortable bed...
...and nobody will ask me to make tea.' - It's nice.
'I guess, this is what you call marriage.'
'But the heart?'
'I don't know why my heart is set.'
'It's racing along.'
'It can't settle down.'
'It's life.'
'It will pass by like this.'
'I am married, I have duties.'
'I will take care of Salma too.'
'Then there is love.'
'That is not needed nor is it essential for life.'
'I don't know how I am still alive.'
How am I still alive?'
'I always thought...
...when Natalya leaves me...
...that would be the end of me.'
'Sohail...
...you have no shame.'
'You love one person...
...and you have married someone else.'
'And the one you married...
...will go to Murree with you.'
'What kind of man are you?'
'Have you ever been to Murree?'
'No.'
'I always travelled abroad.'
'Never to Murree.'
'Like me.'
'You didn't go either?'
'No.'
'I will take you after we are married.'
'It has a Mall road.'
'We will go there...
...and walk hand in hand.'
'If you haven't been to Murree how do you know about Mall road?'
'Everybody knows of it.'
'Listen...'
'If I hold your hand...
...you won't be angry, will you?'
'I won't.'
Do you want anything?
No.
Anything at all?
What can we get here?
It's my first trip here.
Me too.
The market will open soon and you can get anything you want.
I can't get what I want here.
What is it? I will find it.
Some things can't even be found.
I get that.
Some things can't be found.
What did you lose?
Did you hear the breaking news?
What? Professor Jahangir got engaged.
To Azra.
PTV gave him some contract.
He will host a show every night.
That is such good news.
Azra is distributing sweets in the staffroom.
She has hit a jackpot.
Do you know what his salary is going to be? - What?
Four and a half lakhs
He will do eight shows on the weekends, the whole month.
You messed up.
What do you mean?
Anyway, it's no use talking about it now.
It was a good proposal. From Professor Jahangir.
He had a good personality.
But now, Azra has hit the jackpot.
Anyway, I guess, it was meant to be.
I will meet you later.
Listen.
I need to talk to you. It's important.
Tell me.
I called off my engagement.
Send your family to my place with a proposal.
I want to marry you.
Are you regretting it?
No.
The people who...
...knew he was interested...
...were all acting really weird today.
It felt as if...
...I have been a fool.
By not accepting his proposal.
Anyway, I had told too...
That it wasn't a bad option.
I hoped for support from you at least.
I am supporting you.
I am just saying, until you check and see something...
...you need to think.
Don't reject things off hand.
Anyway, it's done now.
What's the use of regretting now?
Who is regretful?
I was just sharing it with you.
Okay, fine! Don't get so angry.
I get it. You're just sharing.
I am going to help mom in the kitchen.
Let me present. - Hear! hear!
A strange girl...
she knows everything.
When I am confused, I see her...
...and she would clear my confusion.
Whenever I am confused, I would meet her... - Isn't this the same professor...
...who sent a proposal for Shabana?
Mom, speak softly.
If she hears you, she will get even more upset.
He looks good enough.
And speaks well too.
Four and a half lakhs a month!
Shabana should have talked to me about him.
For God's sake! Don't say another word.
God knows it
if she could have seen the sunshine.
I am listening to the Ghazal.
Change the channel.
Just imagine! Four and a half lakhs a month!
Even a government official doesn't get that.
That was a great proposal.
Why did she have to get up and go because of that?
She left her food!
Mom, you can't be told anything.
You expose everything in public.
You go to bed!
Shabana!
Nice. - Shabana.
She was full of...
...colors and fragrances.
Hello.
Hello?
There is no network here.
Take that cell phone anywhere you want.
There will be no signal.
It's like that with this phone.
I don't care much for phones.
I would have bought a good one, if I really wanted.
Why did you want the new iPhone then?
Just like that.
I know it was insane.
True. People go insane like that, at times.
Here, take my phone and make the call.
Sajjad!
- Here he comes.
Listen to me. - Listen...
...I hate it when someone calls me from behind.
It reminds me of my wife!
Listen to me Brother.
Sajjad!
What are you doing?
I have been calling since so long!
You don't turn around, you just keep walking!
Here, I've stopped. Talk to me.
I spoke to the contractor.
I spoke to a few wholesalers for merchandise for the store.
What contractor? Wholesale? What merchandise?
Didn't you tell me...
...to break a wall and set up a store there.
Until the store has goods...
...how will you sell it?
Yes, I told you so.
But that doesn't mean that if I say it today...
...that you will get a contractor and wholesaler, tomorrow.
My back is hurting. Let's talk later.
Listen, I am free these days.
That's why, I can supervise the contractor right now.
Okay. I will tell you.
This contractor isn't easily available. It's very tough to pin him down.
Once he's gone, don't complain to me.
Let him go!
I will get it done myself.
Forgive me Sajjad.
This is not how one runs a business.
How will you turn a millionaire?
As if you're giving Bill Gates a run for his money.
Forgive me.
It's okay?
It's loose.
This is nice. How do you feel?
You tell me, how is it?
You tell me, how do you like it?
If you like it, we can buy.
Are you sure? There are so many glasses.
Choose one and tell me which one you want.
See?
That one. How do you like it?
That one? Try it on.
It looks good. How much for this
It's for six thousand - Pack it up.
No, this one is better.
That one. - It's okay. Do one thing.
Adjust these glasses...
...as per her prescription. I will collect them tomorrow.
Let me go pay.
I will take them from you in the morning. Let's go?
Okay.
Can I ask you something?
Go ahead.
Have you ever fallen in love?
Did you?
I asked first.
No.
It's all nonsense.
It's all a lie.
It's all a lie?
Absolutely.
So no-one ever falls in love?
No. - What if it happens?
If it happens...
...one should get married.
To the one you love or someone else?
Why are you asking so many questions?
We have to go out in the morning and return at night.
Let's go to sleep.
Why did you get such expensive glasses?
I told you not to.
You liked them so I got them.
Do you want anything else? - No.
When are your college vacations ending?
I don't know. I will know when I get back.
I used to love studying.
A lot.
But after dad died...
...I had to...
...take on the burden of my sisters' weddings.
So I could not study.
It would be good if you continue to study.
Do you enjoy it?
Yes.
But, arts.
But...
...everyone has prestigious degrees at home.
I feel mine has no value.
Sohail. - Yes?
You are very nice.
I am strangely nice.
Yes. You are strange.
But you are nice too.
Want to eat some?
No.
No, I was just looking.
Okay, I'll get it. I'm going to eat.
I want to.
Isn't it love...
...when someone holds your hand...
Mom!
Sohail has changed.
Change the channel.
Change.
I can see that...
...you were watching cooking shows before...
...and ruining the family budget.
Now you are watching these dramas...
...and talk nonsense. Move this.
It's been so long...
...they never called back once from Murree.
Why should they call?
Has he sworn a blood oath to call us from wherever he goes?
He will call us if it is something important.
Go and see who is at the door.
Always complaining!
You'll never get me.
What?
I'm coming!
Oh, God! I should have asked for something else!
Mom! Salma and Sohail are back.
My God! This is great.
I am fine. How are you?
Greetings, aunt. - Greetings!
Here is my son. - Greetings.
Greetings. - What did you get for me?
This bag contains lots of stuff.
It's all for you. Give this to me.
Here, take this. - Come along.
Oh, God! Salma, you aren't at all like the sister-in-law's in the dramas.
I was just thinking...
...I felt so low without the two of you.
Now that you are back the house is happy again.
I was saying the same thing to mom.
The house is radiant because of both of you.
Let me keep the stuff in.
Come in, dear.
So how was Murree? Did you have fun?
Yes, it was great fun. It was so cold!
We walked so much on the Mall road.
Did you have the chicken soup there? It's famous.
Yes, we did. - Mom.
Mom!
What is it?
Salma is back.
Salma is back?
My Salma is back!
These glasses look so good!
You look different.
How are you, Salma?
Tell us, what all did you do there?
What is the matter with Shabana? - Long story, I'll tell you later.
Tell me, what did you do? Where did you go?
Leave her be!
Firstly, how is the groom?
Does he take care of you?
Yes. He got these glasses for me.
What else did he get you?
Let's all sit and talk. - Okay.
I was about to leave so...
...I thought I would say goodbye.
I was about to come out.
I figured...
...Sohail would be there.
Everybody would be together and chatting.
What would I do out there?
Anyway, I feel really ashamed.
What for?
Coming out in public like this.
What must Sohail think of us?
Shazia and I aren't married yet. We are still, always around.
Shabana.
You are smarter than me.
You know that...
...to be happy in life...
...one can take pleasure in more than just marriage.
Shazia told me about it.
About Professor Jahangir.
I think...
...I have turned into a thief.
I really did something very foolish which I am being punished for.
It wasn't meant to be.
And when it's not...
...then why feel regret over it.
If not Professor Jahangir then you'll find someone else.
And even if that doesn't happen...
...there is no need to live cooped up inside!
Salma.
You never spoke like this.
Does marriage make a person sensible?
Marriage doesn't make you intelligent.
But...
...mistakes do give you perspective.
You know...
...when one's heart breaks...
...you wants to mend every broken heart.
Who broke your heart?
Who did this?
It's healing now.
There are a few cracks.
They will heal too.
Stay happy.
Are you happy, son?
Why are you asking?
Just like that.
Salma is so nice, right?
She has blended so well with our family.
Yes.
Is she nice?
Yes, mom. She is nice.
You chose her.
How can you go wrong?
Shazia, congratulations. This is from all of us for you.
Today, by giving this shield to me...
...you have shown me the mirror, in which I look at myself constantly...
...trying to decide if I deserve this shield...
...or not.
During the hunger strike...
...for employment, for some reason...
...I began to speak of marriage and related...
...aspects of it.
I guess it's because we constantly...
...whether it is our home or out with friends, or at work...
...we keep talking of this one thing.
Are you married?
Why aren't you married?
When did you get married?
Who did you marry?
What I am going to talk to you about...
...is a topic...
...for which I need a lot more courage...
...than I have displayed on the street that day earlier.
It's easy to bad mouth the community.
We can put the mirror up to the community easily, too.
But looking within yourself...
...and holding it up to yourself
...is the real task.
I would like to inform you...
...that I am an ordinary girl and before this incident.
Marriage was a big issue for me.
But today...
...when I see all of you...
...and realize that...
...you will endure the same things too.
Go through the same things as me, right now.
I only want to tell you one thing straight from my heart
That to live a good life...
...one needs to find purpose...
...and that is what is really important.
Because, marriages happens.
And they don't happen too.
Marriages fall apart.
But life...
...carries on regardless.
Someone asked me...
...if I want the community to appreciate me...
...why don't I display the same courtesy...
...when I seek a wife for my brother?
I didn't have an answer to that.
I guess because I had...
...a small minded, selfish outlook.
Where I didn't want to be judged.
While I could judge all and sundry as choose.
But after receiving this shield...
...that I will take home today...
...I will try...
...not to be on TV or in media...
...or in front of you, gloating.
In fact, even in my daily life...
...I will try to be mindful of the tiny details.
So we can live good lives...
...and help each other to do so too.
Here is your button. Come and take your shirt.
Mom, we need to talk. It's important.
Yes, tell me.
You must go to Nausheen's house and ask for her hand in marriage.
What do you mean?
I mean, I told her we would come over next week...
...to her house with my proposal for marriage.
Are you informing your mother?
Yes. - What about her engagement?
She was to get married.
What about her engagement?
She called it off for me.
She didn't call it off!
She is faking it! She is lying.
When was she engaged that she could call it off?
She is trying to hook you.
Yes.
And that's why I want to marry her.
My son, she is not a good match for you.
She is younger than you or maybe even older.
She is from an average family and looks ordinary.
Mom, we aren't too stellar as a family either.
As far as looks go she is way better than me.
And I don't care about any age difference.
I just know I want to be happy with her after the marriage.
You've lost your mind!
Yes.
I will lose it completely if I don't marry her.
Greeting, Sallauddin.
Mom, greetings.
Look at this shield the school gave me.
I can't tell you what an amazing speech I gave.
The heck with your shield.
Do you know what Sallauddin said to me just now?
What did he say to you?
He said, we have to go next week to Nausheen's place...
...and I must ask for her hand in marriage. He ordered me.
Yes, will you go alone? Or should I and Shabana come along too?
Are you joking?
Your brother, Sallauddin...
...a good looking, smart and earning prince of a man...
...is going to bring home an ordinary wife and a sister-in-law!
You are talking as if nothing is the matter.
So what? She is a good girl.
She has been visiting us for so long.
She has been around you and Sallauddin.
More than us even.
She will help you and respect you.
I think something is wrong here.
Did you know something to speak up for her like this?
I swear, he didn't say a thing to me.
But after my speech today...
...I have decided, I won't...
...be a hypocrite anymore.
To heck with your ideas.
I don't care for your shield.
What are you saying?
He is talking and so are you.
They are answering back to the mother!
They are all talking back, him and her.
Nobody is listening! They are now blind and mute.
They aren't paying attention
Are they incapable of hearing.
They are blinded by arrogance.
No one wants to listen to their mother.
'I wish to express to all of you...
...that I was an ordinary woman before this incident.'
'Marriage was a huge issue for me.'
Today, when I look at all of you...
...and I think...
Hello? - What's going on?
You killed it today.
What do you mean? What did I do?
Back in 10th grade, that meant you have done something amazing.
Mom just yelled at me. What do you mean?
I saw your speech at the school.
You got a shield. Amazing.
When did you see it?
One of your fans shared it on social media.
You have so many fans now.
Your video has seventy thousand likes.
seventy thousand!
I came home barely four hours ago.
I am even more impressed by you.
Mom is going to lose it big time now.
Why had happened? - Just.
Sallauddin told her to get him married to Nausheen.
And I asked if I should go with her or not.
She took offense to that.
Wow, Sallauddin has become brave.
I didn't imagine that he... - Listen.
I have to salvage the burnt tempering. Bye. Talk to you later.
What, okay... but...
I can make every kind of cake.
I have made 25 kinds. I can bake the most expensive kinds too.
That is great, but everybody can bake cakes here.
Very few people can make a good korma.
This is it. This is what I don't like about you.
You're sitting in England and talking to me about Kormas.
While I am telling you about carrot cake sitting here in Pakistan.
No, it's okay. Tell me.
It's not like I will be making it.
Greetings, Salma. - Greetings.
I guess, I came at the wrong time.
No, you're right in time.
I must leave. Learn the carrot cake recipe.
What is that about?
We will speak later.
Say hello to mom and Sohail. Goodbye.
He doesn't care about me.
I wish I was marrying someone...
...who cared for food or baking.
Like a cook, you mean?
I didn't mean that.
A man who likes everything about me.
He is sitting in England and telling...
...me to learn to cook bitter gourd...
...learn to make pickles. What is that about?
He loves you so much, Sobiya.
Come on, every man loves his wife...
...and every wife too.
Don't you love Sohail?
No, Sohail doesn't believe in love.
Did he say that to you?
I have to tell you this though.
Men don't mean what they say.
They can't say what they really mean.
When they finally say it, women don't understand it.
Just as you can't understand what I am saying.
To be honest, we always think...
...we should marry the one we love.
Then we will be happy. But that doesn't happen.
When you get married to without love...
...you fall in love deeply after marriage.
Mom says that people live with feeling.
Not with love, romance, poems and verse.
But with feelings and habits.
I didn't always like Azhar.
I used to call him the cab driver.
Now I have started to like him.
I like him. He's a good man and he puts up with my blabber.
He even calls me ten times a day.
When the batter is done, you can taste it, okay?
What are you staring at me for?
How did you agree to let Sallauddin marry Nausheen?
If you can agree, why not me?
But you are the most status conscious. - I was.
What do you mean?
Salma came to me the other day.
She explained a lot of stuff.
And your video completed the rest.
You saw my video, too?
We all only live once.
Why should we decide about anyone else's life?
Let them live as they please.
Sallauddin likes Nausheen so...
...he should marry her.
I thought the same.
And now that we are being open minded...
...Nausheen seems nicer to me.
