Chit?
Hi, good morning.
Cheetah, see your grandmother is here.
Oh my God, he is so grown up.
Hi Cheetah!
Say what's up, grandmother? Say.
Hi grandma.
Your grandma is very cool.
Brother,
-It seems ma'am is up. -Oh Shit!
-Cheetah. -Okay, bye, bye, Cheetah.
Bye. Bye.
-Bye. -Bye!
Bye!
Wow Chit. How are you up so early?
I wake up at 5:30 AM every morning, mom.
He wakes up at 6:00.
Oh my God, my little boy is all grown up.
Now that you are up. Come, let's go to the market.
-Really? -Yeah!
Wow!
-Let's go. -Okay, go, get ready.
I've been staying at a lawyer for six months.
Sheetal threw me out in lockdown.
I didn't even have the time to find a rental.
And she sued you as well?
No, I am the one who sued.
-You? -Yes.
-Against Sheetal? -Yes.
Why?
For the custody of our child.
But it is her kid?
Yeah, it came out of her.
No, I don't understand.
She's not your wife, right?
You're not the father of the kid.
Mom.
I have been handling him since he was six months old.
His vaccinations, polio drops, online alphabet classes,
I take care of everything.
Because his mother has no time after her work.
She just meets him at breakfast and dinner.
Chit Look.
-I know you're attached to him, but... -Mom.
I'm raising him since 2.5 years.
I wake up at 5:00 am. Pee, potty, taking him out, I do everything.
And just because Sheetal and I are not together, she can't say he's not my kid.
Am I right, bro?
Oh, yes brother. He is your kid.
Bro, beautiful!
So hindi is beautiful, Chit!
So why didn't you get married?
The wedding talks led to divorce, mother.
She wanted to get married. I didn't.
Why?
She used to dominate me a lot.
I was in love with three things and she got rid of that.
Music, joint, milk.
Milk.
Yes, she was trying to make me a vegan.
But I am Cheetah's father.
I'm a lion. I roared.
Sorry, sorry.
So you roared and she threw you out?
Yeah, her ego was hurt.
She is not even letting me meet the kid.
I am crying and so is the kid.
The nurse is crying as well.
Everyone is crying.
No.
See.
Should we have the roll?
What do you want, Chit?
Joint.
Joint custody.
He will stay with me for 3-4 days and then with her.
Balance, equilibirium!
Balance.
Yeah, but, Sweetie, this legal arrangement,
this is acceptable between Sheetal and her husband.
-You can't... -But her husband doesn't even want the kid, mom.
He left her when she got pregnant.
Oh God.
I have no idea why are you suing her.
And who is your lawyer?
What kind of nonsensical advice have you been getting?
He is a top lawyer, mum.
I met him in Arthur Road Jail.
He studied law there, fought his own case and won.
Genius!
And mine is a human rights case as well.
Of course.
See mother,
if I had been a woman, you would have sympathized with me.
Just because I'm a man, you can't see my fatherly affection.
Emotionally, your argument is sound, but I'm sorry,
legally, this case is weak.
It is a strong case.
-You and Dad are weakening it. -What?
How can we be doing anything here?
Mom, see, I am confident,
when Cheetah will be asked in the court, who do you want to stay with?
He will point at me.
But I have to prove to the judge that I am a responsible father.
I have a loving and normal family.
We have a mansion in the hills where Cheetah can grow up to be a lion.
Just extend it for two to three months, Mom.
Please!
Please pull it from there, Chanchal.
Like this.
Dad, do you remember,
once I was frustrated and told you I'm just a housewife.
I don't have a job or a career.
And then you told me, being a housewife is
not less than being a CEO of a company.
Absolutely dear, a housewife is the CEO of a house.
She manages everything.
Household finances, relations, relatives,
husband and kids' egos,
and this job starts in the morning,
and only ends when you drop in the bed, exhausted.
Yeah, but, If someone loses their job, they can find a new one.
And if Pranav fired me from this job,
where will I go with this CV?
Did something happen between you and Pranav?
No,no.
I was just hypothetically speaking.
Never mind!
Dad, do you know...
When a girl faces a problem at her in-laws, she comes to her parents.
But here my parental unit is getting disintegrated.
Why are you doing this, dad?
Pranav's family is already at our throats.
And you are starting a new drama here.
I can't deal with this.
-When will you all just stop? -One minute, one minute.
We are not dying.
And neither are we leaving your life.
We had been stagnant in our lives.
We just want to go somewhere.
We have thought about this decision.
And we expect our kids to respect this decision.
Is that asking for too much?
I mean,
fix that and come down.
-Morning! -Good morning.
Morning!
Mom?
Fresh juice for you.
Thankyou.
You know, guys, I was thinking when me and Pranav will have kids,
we'll bring them here for summer vacation.
-Right? -That is a great idea.
Oh! I was thinking the same.
Didn't I tell you? It will be great if Cheetah comes here to play.
There is so much greenery. Fresh air.
There is so much pollution in Delhi, Baba.
Chitwan, please. Dude, I'm talking about actual family members.
-Your imaginary... -One second.
Isn't my kid a family member?
-Are you his father? -Don't go to Chetaah's father.
-One second. -Are you the father or not?
Yeah, I am his father.
-What are you... -So why didn't you accept the wedding?
Baba, am I not his father?
-No, you are not. -Shutup.
Am I not his father?
-You are. -He is more of a family than you.
-Really? -Okay, Chitvan.
He's your actual family member. We are all donkeys.
Can we just stop it right now?
Baba. He is my son, okay? No one can separate him from me.
Neither his mother, her lawyers, the judge nor your judgment.
-Chit... -Mom, he is my son, okay.
And please, for once, can we all be a little sensitive?
And fucking normal?
Just supportive of each other like. You know...
Like regular family members?
Just coming, man.
What happened?
What does he even mean by normal family members?
-Hi. -Hi.
Baba, some hot girl is here to meet you.
Me?
Chinmay uncle? Charu Aunt?
Baba, not for you.
Weirdos, walk it off!
Hello, uncle. Hello aunt.
Hello?
I hope I'm not disturbing you all.
No, not at all, please come.
We were just talking like a normal family.
Will you have breakfast, dear?
No, uncle, I am on intermittent. Thank you.
Oh wow, modern day fast.
This is Chanchal, Chandan,
And you already met Chitvan.
They're my kids.
-And she is Kritika. Kritika Bajaj. -Bajaj.
And she is...
I'm the sales head for 7-11 hotels, India office.
-And all the properties here... -We know, we know.
We know all about it.
Yeah.
Aunt, few people came over for fencing yesterday.
They were saying that you said no?
Said no?
Yes, we sent them away as we thought someone has suddenly entered the house.
How would we know who they are?
And you guys are doing this sneakily, so...
But they didn't come sneakily.
If you wanted more time, you could have told me.
It is not a problem, but we would have to start the work in a day or two.
We are already delayed. We have to get it time.
No, you can start your work. We are just leaving.
They had no idea about the fencing.
One second, I have to take this call. I will be back.
Mom, seriously? Were you ever planning to tell us?
I'm there only.
Oh no, there was a confusion. Kids were unaware.
Yeah, yeah, it's all sorted now.
You sold the house?
We did want to tell you, but how much could we reveal at once?
And the way you guys reacted.
-All good? -All good.
So aunt, how are you?
I am okay.
Is Pondicherry sorted?
It's happening. I have talked with Chris John. I'll forward you his number.
Actually, he runs a restaurant right near Auroville.
Whenever you go there, just give him a call.
He's gonna fix everything for you.
And if you have any problem dealing with Chris, tell me, I will fix it.
Thank you. That is so sweet of you.
Uncle, did you talk with Brian?
Yes, done.
They are adding me to the WhatsApp group of their biker crew.
And there sending me a leather jacket with skulls.
It's fantastic.
Your Bhutan trip is completely sorted.
You know, I thought this is uncle's first major solo trip,
so I should connect you with this amazing group.
And then you can manage it on your own. That's not a big deal.
The way these guys plan. It will be great. Thank you.
I am sure.
Anyway, I'm so sorry I didn't want to disturb you all.
I just wanted to have a look around the property before the architects come in.
-So can I just see the property? -Yeah.
Ofcourse.
Chandan, show her around.
Yeah.
Please come.
-I'll see you then. -See you.
After you.
Is that you?
Yeah, that's me.
Cute!
I've heard a lot about you from Uncle and aunt.
Yes.
We are close.
That's sweet.
So what's happening these days?
I was. I mean, technically, I'm still a writer.
-I have published two books. -Great.
The first one was the storyline for a film as well.
-Seriously? -Yes.
And the second one, this,
this is... I think it's a little ahead of its time.
And in the pandemic I have been trading.
Earlier I used to trade in the New York Stock Exchange.
And now, I do online trading.
So many things. You are a multitasker.
Yeah, a little, here and there.
So, this is...
This is my childhood.
I mean my childhood bedroom.
This is mine and Chitvan's room.
Chitvan used to sleep here and me here.
If you don't mind, can I open the blinds?
-Yeah, sure. -Yeah?
And I'm gonna keep this book.
Yeah, I'll sign it for you.
Sure.
Wow!
Oh my God!
This would be totally green during rains, right? Such an amazing view.
Yeah, now that you're mentioning it,
it is so beautiful during rains.
Infact, I used to study at the desk here.
-Here? -Yes.
If you open the window during rains, the clouds come inside.
-Really? -Yes.
This is a dream desk for a writer, I would say.
Yeah, it surely is.
But you know what? This window, it's not working.
We'll change this window and
make a French window here.
And the ceiling here is too low. It is not working.
We'll demolish it completely and
join those two small rooms and make a bigger one.
And this will be a lavish suite.
This bathroom is going away anyway.
And we'll rip this flooring completely.
And that's going away as well.
Yup.
We're not going to break the whole house.
We're not demolishing the entire house.
Actually we are making a boutique hotel.
We really want to preserve the vibe this house has.
In fact, some furniture is pretty amazing. We want to keep that.
And could you show me the other rooms as well?
You are going to Bhutan on a bike? Mum is going to Pondicherry.
With whom? Who are these people?
And some random girl will come over and tell us?
Why are we getting your lives updates from other people?
Shouldn't you ask this question to yourself dear?
You come once a year.
You come with your problems. Take the solutions.
You never even wondered what other plans do we have other than being parents?
I'm not complaining, I'm just answering your question.
You guys are so busy. When would I even tell you this?
If we didn't have time, you could have sent a WhatsApp text.
Directly Bhutan...
I have shown her around the house.
What's up, guys? How's it going? Nice meal.
Uncle. Aunt, thank you so much.
I have seen the house, I'm going to send in the architects very soon.
By the way, it's my birthday tomorrow.
Happy birthday dear.
It is tomorrow, father.
I'm throwing a small party in a nearby cafe.
There aren't a lot of invitees. I'll send you the details.
Uncle, you have to come over. The entire biker gang is coming.
And Chitwan, Chanchal and Chandan, please come.
Yeah, I'll try.
Aunt, you too, we have to celebrate the day.
Yeah, ofcourse.
We have a bit of a packing left and then we will come over.
Do you have a DJ in the party?
Now you do. I am coming.
Thanks, great.
-So I will see you around. -Bye.
-Yeah,bye. -Bye, see you.
Fucking bitch.
Behave. ??
Dad, do you realize how embarrassing it is for all of us?
Mostly for me.
My court case has no basis now.
Sheetal threw me out. Mum. Dad sold the house.
I'm a homeless father now. Selfish.
You guys were my backup plan.
Wow!
Chitvan dear, it feels so nice to hear that we were your backup plan.
Generally, the kids are parents backup plan at this age.
No?
I had told you money and property. It's something you'll have to do on your own.
From us you will get good culture in inheritance.
Good values and good cookies.
And I wasn't kidding.
We thought that such an important decision of our lives,
we will share it with you and you will understand.
Mom, we do respect your choices.
But your choices shouldn't destroy the entire family.
-Exactly. -No one is breaking the family, man.
We are your parents.
You are our kids and that's never going to change.
It doesn't matter which corner of the world we are staying in.
And that's the way it has always been.
We don't ask you to call us every day.
No. We pick up where we left off.
So I don't understand where is this coming from.
Family, breaking, God!
What are you doing here?
Isn't this your house? We landed at the right place.
Yeah, but why like this?
Didn't you had your court case?
Sister-in-law's petticoat got tangled up in her heels. She fell down the stairs.
-What? -Nothing serious, unfortunately.
But the date has been postponed.
And as your parents had these issues, I thought I should be there.
But who told you this?
Chitvan.
God, I am gonna...
Yeah, but I was handling everything here. Why did you had to come?
So should I go back?
Okay. Hey, chopper?
-Wait. -Pranav, stop, I didn't ask you to go back.
-No, I will go back. -Did I say that?
Hey bro.
Chitvan, you will get a slap.
He tells everyone everything.
About parents... You go.
