Family.
Someone said it right -
Happy families are all alike
But every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way.
If you see my family, there's no telling if we're happy or not.
That's because we're adept at lying,
it's our superpower.
We're pros when it comes to keeping secrets.
We can even make facts disappear!
We keep telling ourselves, it's for the sake of happiness... everyone's happiness.
But happiness goes hand in hand with the truth.
And accepting the truth is the most difficult thing to do.
Yup...
your home-kit and my tests are both positive.
Definitely pregnant!
Really? How?
I had said, the chances were low.
You said it was virtually impossible...
But there is a thing such as 'one in a million'.
But I was on the pill!
You told the nurse that you had taken a break from the pill.
Yes, but...
only for three months and... we used protection.
Safe sex.
95% safe sex.
95%?
Welcome to the 5%, Sitara.
- I dedicate this award to my wife Babli... - Babli!
- Cheers! - Cheers!
So, Designer of the Year Award...
what plans for the future?
World domination?
- Cheers to Sitara, guys. - Cheers!
- Lamb sauce now! - Yes, chef.
Hummus, chef?
- No hummus with sushi! - Sorry, chef.
Table 8, fourth course. Quick!
Go!
Sameer will get the dessert ready, Arjun.
Arjun?
You had to be somewhere, didn't you?
Oh shit. Shit!
F*** my life! Tara...
- What time did you have to be there? - It must be over by now!
I think your ride just got here.
I'm so sorry, babe.
Er, you won?
You always knew I was winning. Why else would I be attending?
I sat through the whole damn thing alone.
- So... - Babe.
You're so getting punished for being late tonight!
T... are you rewarding me or punishing me?
Babe, the bartender's gonna get jealous now.
- Let's not... - Let him.
Tara, I'll accept any punishment but let's not do this here, please.
Please!
In that case... marry me?
You're gonna make such a big mistake just because you're high?
So did you.
Yes, but that was three years ago.
And when you said 'no', I never asked you again.
So now that I'm asking you... are you thinking of revenge?
Come on, that's not fair.
Er...
Why won't you marry me?
You just wanna use me and leave me?
Of course, I'm done with you.
Leave. Now!
I'm marrying him!
Hey, Tara... T!
She's out of your league, uncle!
It's Singles Night...
Whoa!
Hello, Mrs.
We don't believe in giving dowry.
I told Dad, about Singapore.
And?
As usual...
I was reminded I'm a loser.
Thank you for believing in me.
Really now?
I mean, when do we...
If you hadn't pushed me, I wouldn't have taken up the Singapore gig.
So, thank you.
Just because I'm letting you go doesn't mean I'm letting you move for keeps.
Hey, never, T...
But I'm going to be a super busy and very absent husband.
And I'm gonna be one annoying and clingy wife!
Quickie?
Nope.
I have an interview tomorrow. I have to sleep.
Aww...
Whoa!
T, the eggs are getting cold.
Which one?
Both look the same to me.
Take a pic.
Now let me ask the expert.
- Watch and learn. - Yeah, of course.
We all have to learn from Aunt Hema...
your superhero!
This one.
Anyway, I've gotta rush.
- Slay them! - Thank you.
So, first you made it to the '30 under 30' list and now this award...
So what about interior design inspires you?
A designer's job is to essentially create a story for a space.
Space, fittings, accessories, art - find the right place for each of them...
And help them coexist.
Basically, the ending has to be a happy one. Doesn't matter where the story starts.
So for you, design is happiness?
I think we all design our own happiness.
So... yes.
Feels nice.
Sitara, congratulations. I'm so happy for you, dude!
That's why you were sitting in the front row and cheering so hard, right?
Shut up.
You know I wouldn't miss it for the world
if it wasn't for this maddening assignment in the Sunderbans!
Let's get you something to drink.
Excuse me.
- One flat white, please. Thank you. - Okay.
So I'm getting married.
Cancel.
You're joking, right?
But six weeks ago, you guys weren't even talking.
Dude, you keep breaking up.
Yeah, but then we got back together.
Isn't that proof that we can't live without each other?
Last month, you'd said, 'we don't need marriage as a license for our love.'
Can you be happy for me?
You were the one who said, 'the ones who get married
are the ones who are scared of being lonely.'
And now I'm saying, 'I want to get married.'
You're using my lines against me?!
'We don't need anyone to complete us' - do you remember that?
Yeah, we were kids then.
I want the whole deal now - kids, grandkids, dogs, cats.
What's wrong in that?
Kids? Seriously?
You know what?
Don't get me wrong, I'm very happy for you.
But right now, I have to leave.
I hate Tinder!
So Tara and I've decided to get married, Dad.
What do you mean 'decided'? Do you think I have no work?
I mean, I thought you'd retired.
Oh, please!
I'm sure, even after retirement I work harder than you do.
And weren't you going somewhere?
I am. I want to get this over with, before I leave.
Let me introduce you to a new word, son.
It's a tough one therefore pay attention...
Responsibility.
When I married your mother...
I wasn't just responsible for her,
I had the responsibility of the entire country on my shoulders.
And I fulfilled my responsibility, because that's what real men do!
Sorry but I disagree, Dad.
Tara is a strong, successful woman who can take care of herself.
She might just need to take care of you too!
Just let me know if you want to come for the date-fixing ritual, or not.
Tara baby, I was just about to call you.
You'll live to be a 100 years.
I need to talk to you about something.
Sure, Tara. Mom's here too.
Congratulations, darling.
Very proud of you. I watched the interview.
I want to get married.
- That's great news, darling. - Great!
I mean this is a big surprise.
This month.
- What? - Why the hurry?
Arjun's finalizing his Singapore restaurant deal...
And I'm about to start some new projects.
We want to get this overwith before work starts.
'Get this over with?'
I want something small and simple, nothing elaborate and time-consuming.
Besides, I've already selected the venue.
Don't we have any role to play in this?
It's not that, Dad.
And where are you getting married?
At Grandma's place.
Come on, Sitara...
Let's do it at one of our hotels...
A classy event.
I mean, what's the point of me being the CEO of a hotel chain?
I want it to be real, not something over-the-top!
It's decided. Please don't try to change my mind.
Grandma will drive us mad!
How will she manage on such short notice, Tara?
I've already spoken to her.
My heartless heartthrob
How you trouble me so
Where your love has brought me I'm sure I do not know...
My heartless heartthrob
The bride's family.
Where your love has brought me I'm sure I do not know...
My excited Best Man.
As I lose myself in you
And as my heart goes boom!
Oh, I love your mischief too
Let our love story, keep going on
Meet me in the shadows, I'm so lovelorn
I want to celebrate YOU
Coz I'm crazy for you
In blooms and wild blossoms
I want to celebrate you
A little bit of our desires
A little bit of magic
I'm selfish for your love
A love that's out of control...
Oh I'm struck and how By a soft blow which hit me hard
Oh I'm stuck on you There's a weak point in my heart...
Oh yeah, I've left from home With a loaded wedding party
All along in my ears Are trumpets blaring hearty...
I want to celebrate YOU
Are you shocked or surprised?
Because the expression is the same in both situations.
- Oh my god! - Woohoo!
No, no!
- Makeup. - Oh!
Such a long journey and my editor has chewed my brains,
please do not change your mind now!
And why would she change her mind?
- Hi Anjali. - Hema.
So you're the sexy Aunt Hema?
I've heard so much about you.
Nothing good, I hope.
By the way, why would she change her mind?
At 3 in the morning when Tara suddenly realizes that she should remain single
like you and me, she freaks out and calls me up.
And then she doesn't talk to Arjun.
Not a single word.
And then suddenly she wants to get married.
Wait and watch, Anjali.
Within a year you'll wish you were married, just like me.
- We'll continue this conversation then. - Really?
Yeah.
Now that you're here, Ms. Maid of Honor.
Duty No. 1 - you see that?
Collect all the cow dung from the cowshed.
Come on, get to it.
Thank you so much.
Arjun told me that you're leaving tomorrow.
- Why the hurry? - Well...
Retired or not, we like to serve our country.
Not everyone is like Arjun,
the rest of us can't just up and leave without a plan.
- Woohoo! - Congrats!
Our priest says, 20th is an auspicious day.
And we're all good, right?
- Congratulations. - To you as well.
Congratulations, young man.
What did I miss?
It's over? Done?
You look lovely.
Thank you, Uncle.
If I could find someone like you, I'd get married right here.
Awww, come on.
You look positively spicy in this sari.
A culinary twist even with your compliments?
Home cooked food is just something else.
Do I look fat?
You look happy.
Being happy makes everything delicious.
The two people who really need happiness in their lives are,
my mother and your father.
They look like reluctant buyers in a property deal gone sour.
Leave it to me.
Tomorrow I shall present to them the 'ArjunAnand 7-course Special'.
Watch them getting bowled over.
Okay, smile. Nice one.
Give me a Tara.
Lovely.
Hey Sitaphal!
Hello.
Congratulations, man!
- This will help your friend with her nausea. - Okay.
- Thank you, Majoo. - Welcome.
Majoo, this is my best friend Anjali.
And, Anj, he's my oldest friend, Majoo.
Dr. T. P. Majeed actually.
Bye, I'll see you later.
Stay, you just got here.
No, can't. I need to check on some dengue cases in the village.
I'll be back later.
Anjali, right?
I know it's not my place to...
But I'm a doctor so I'm taking the liberty of telling you
that you shouldn't smoke during pregnancy.
It can be very harmful to the baby's development.
This pill will take care of your nausea, but you should think about your baby.
My apologies, in case you're offended.
- Sorry. - Okay.
What the hell is he smoking, man? I want some of that.
Tara?
No, Tara!
Tara, why didn't you tell me?
I'm the last person who would've judged you.
I was judging myself.
Tara, you're going to be a mother.
Who judges mommies?
Oh my god, congratulations!
Arjun must be ecstatic, isn't it?
Okay, pose. Smile.
Wow! Tara...
Every husband should know how to cook.
Please teach that drunkard husband of mine.
Don't act shy! Your children fell from the sky?
Okay, helpers, your turn now. Come.
When Arjun was a child, he made lemonade for his mother.
One word of praise from her and he thought he's found his calling!
A remix of the cuisines of North and South India -
Paniyaram (rice cakes) topped with a distillation
of the classic Northwest-frontier chickpea curry,
finished with dehydrated coconut and smoked curry leaves,
freshly plucked from Grandma's garden.
Wow!
- Sexy. - Thank you.
- Please... - Very nice.
Good job!
Just chickpea curry? That's what you've made?
- That's beautiful, Arjun. - You're a pro, Arjun.
You're awesome, Maharaja?
Maharaja? What, are we in the 19th century?
- Old-school men are keepers. - Thank you.
But where is the actual food?
You're so talented, Arjun.
Why're you depriving us Indians and moving to Singapore?
Singapore is the culinary capital of Asia, man.
Plus, I get to run my own restaurant.
So, it's the perfect opportunity for me.
The Mumbai restaurant is good but I'm stuck, man.
The owner is just rubbish.
Rich, but unclassy.
And the clients are all his friends, only interested in clicking
and uploading food pics, #foodporn!
What does 'porn' mean?
It's cow dung, Ma.
Oh no!
The internet has ruined an entire generation!
You think the internet is useless?
Not useless, but one should remember...
we should the use the internet, the internet should not be using us!
And what do you do, that you don't need the internet?
He treats all the children of this village for free.
- Good ol' Majoo. - Oh nice, man.
Majoo had got full scholarship in medical college.
Wow, bro! Where?
Johns Hopkins, a college in Baltimore.
Hear that?
This is a doctor who studied in America's top medical college
and has returned to serve the people of his motherland.
This is what you call a success story!
- I am proud of you, son. Keep it up. - Thank you, Uncle.
Arjun you're such a brilliant chef. Why go abroad?
We'll be more than glad to have you in one of our properties...
Any city of your choice?
Thank you, Uncle. It's very kind of you but I have different plans.
Whether you're cooking at home or abroad,
you'll still be just dancing around in a kitchen!
You are so funny!
What a guy!
Looking sexy.
Seriously?
Won't I look like a village priest if I wear this?
It will make Ma happy, if you wear this.
Ma has been happy only once in her life,
in 1947 (the year India gained independence).
Even then she was upset with Prime Minister Nehru!
Wear it for Tara's sake.
She's the one who wants a simple and traditional wedding.
It's work. I've got to take this.
It's okay.
Hey, Monica.
We've nailed it!
The next meeting is just a formality. Cakewalk.
Well done!
Now I can take a long holiday.
No way! We miss you.
We miss you too.
By the way, I like this look on you.
I'm going to Kochi tomorrow, to check out a property.
I'll keep you posted.
And I'll see you in Mauritius next week.
Mauritius... your usual room. Should I book it?
Thank you. See you.
What? 'Choked to death, eating Kerala parotta (flatbread)'.
'The cause of death was from loss of breath following choking
on a local delicacy while eating in a hurry'.
Latha has always been lost in her thoughts.
Aww.
Nice.
- You're looking so sexy in this photo. - Well...
You haven't seen Aunt Hema's photos yet.
- What? - Can I get them, Aunt Hema?
Aren't they kept in that drawer?
And what's the story behind this photo?
I fell and broke my hand. I had to be rushed to the hospital...
Hema had to accept the Cup on my behalf.
- At least you got the Cup. - And this as well!
- Found it. - Ooh, new pictures. Show.
Oh my god, who's this? So handsome!
Show me.
Isn't this Arvind?
Isn't he handsome? My colleague.
Cool!
Everyone had a crush on Hema... everyone between the ages 7 and 70!
I think most people would talk to me only because I was her sister.
Just like Mary Bennet, the forgotten sister in Pride and Prejudice.
A hottie like you shouldn't be allowed into the cockpit,
there's a chance the pilot can crash the plane!
- How did you end up single? - Exactly, Aunt Hema. How?
- That doesn't mean I've not mingled! - Ooh!
Well, I'm getting really late.
Sitara, I'm leaving you to clean up this mess.
- Bye, girls. - Bye.
Aunt Latha, who is this?
- Grandma wearing pants? - Yes.
- You want to see more? - Yeah.
What's going on?
Ask him.
I had just one glass, my dear.
And then he drank one glass each with every villager!
I'm celebrating our Tara baby's marriage.
I am so happy, madam.
Sorry, sweetheart.
I really wanted this to be a classy affair, but you wanted this.
Madam is like my own mother.
I'll make sure this is the best wedding in the village!
I can see that.
The cowshed!
What the hell is that sound?
Majeed came up with a brilliant idea.
He has tied a device on my cow's leg.
If the cow stays still for 30 minutes, it triggers an alarm.
This indicates that the cow is ready for sex!
Let's go.
Where do you think you're going? Come with me.
- What the F? - Not 'what the F'... ready to...
Come on, let's go.
- Gauri! - Gauri.
Men! When we want to do it, they show no interest.
When we don't want to, they'll force us!
Correct, Grandma.
Shit!
Great! Now that his bowels are clear
he can focus on sex!
It's okay.
Tara, look.
Oh my god, your expression!
Look at this.
Tara told me that you're an award-winning photographer.
I cover social issues, human rights mostly.
You must travel a lot?
I... search for stories and this ends up in a lot of travel.
You've travelled a lot as well, Aunt Hema.
That's why I became an airhostess.
- What's your favourite destination? - Amsterdam.
No, Greece... actually, Rome, Tuscany.
And of course, the Big 3 - London, Paris and New York.
I fell in love with those cities.
And did you ever fall in love, in those cities?
I did.
- And then I'd leave broken hearts behind. - Ooh.
Even I didn't know about this.
You would have, if you took your head out of your books.
Stories written in books are often more interesting than the stories
playing out in our lives.
Why do you say that?
Because we often discover our selves while reading.
- Don't you think so, Ma? - How would she know?
Her cow Gauri and the cowshed are the only things she has truly loved in her life!
It's thanks to this very cowshed
that both of you could study and pursue careers of your choice.
In any case, you've both lived only for yourselves.
That's the mantra to happiness.
- Love yourself, live for yourself! - Correct.
Remember that, Sitara.
Now you're going to teach her life lessons, Hema?
Why not? She's getting married...
she needs to be selfish and pursue her own happiness.
No! Happiness lies in equality...
equal rights for both partners.
That way nobody loses.
Both win and both are happy.
Now that you two have enlightened us with your pearls of wisdom...
Listen to my ground rules for the wedding-
We will conduct all ceremonies according to our tradition.
Nice.
And you...
no meeting the boy till the wedding day.
That's so backward, Grandma!
You should have gotten married at one of your father's swanky hotels
if you wanted to be "forward".
I love you.
Love you too.
Daddy loves you!
No. Daddy loves his little princess Sitara.
- No, Daddy loves you. - No! Daddy loves you.
- Daddy loves you. - I love you!
Wow, Grandma! Looking like a supermodel.
Thank you. Give me some more.
Hope this bunch does the trick or we'll run out of bananas.
- Namaste. - Namaste.
- Darling, have you put on weight? - What!
Hurry up.
Thank you.
- Yay! - Yes!
That was nice.
Dad, have you been to Florence?
Please don't go to Florence for your honeymoon?
- But why? - It's boring! Too many museums.
- When was your last visit? - I don't remember.
See, it's so boring I don't even remember.
Latha... shopping.
You're still living in a village.
It's no way near how the world is developing.
Snobbish. As usual.
Are you okay, Sitara?
Yeah, I'm just a little nauseous. Don't know why.
- Whoa! - Bloody fool!
Keep your eyes on the road, madam.
This is why people are wary of women driving cars!
Why don't you drive then?
Latha is a good driver.
- Right! - Really?
Do you remember, when I was teaching you to drive
and you stepped on the accelerator instead of the brake?
And our neighbor's dog, poor Happy
- became SAD forever! - Became SAD forever!
- That's just not funny! - It is.
Sorry.
Yes, what?
No, I...
Okay fine.
Sorry, guys,
I have to go to the Kochi office urgently.
But I'll drop you all to the shop and then head there.
Drop me off a little further ahead.
I need to take a look at a property for a hotel.
- Bye. - Bye.
Thanks, Aunt Hema.
Let's go.
Ma, why wouldn't Dad join us on our holidays here?
You know how busy he's always been.
Also, he didn't really get along with your grandmother.
Come.
- And Aunt Hema? - What about her?
She also never came to visit us.
She's an airhostess, darling.
She's always been very a high-flyer.
She did come once, for a few months
when I was expecting you. She was a great help to me then.
Govind and Hema got along like a house on fire.
Latha...
Oh, Latha.
- Meet Arvind's wife, darling. - Hello, Aunty.
Her husband and Aunt Hema often fly together. He's a pilot.
She's a young lady now. So pretty, just like mummy!
Congratulations, dear Tara.
- What does the boy do? - Arjun is a chef, Aunty.
Fulltime?
Very good choice.
Ma, why don't you take Aunty's help in choosing the saris?
- Let me show Anjali around a bit. - Okay...
but don't be late.
This area is not very safe at night, Tara.
- Where are we going? - You are...
I've sent you the location.
- Go, you'll get fabulous shots there. - What?
- And where are you going? - I need to do something.
All the best.
When do you leave?
In a bit, you'd said that we couldn't meet.
Screw that.
- Nice. Now? - No, listen...
I'm sending you my location. Pick me up,
drop me to Kochi and then you can go to the airport.
Why're you being so shady, T?
I really need you to do this for me, Arjun...
without asking any questions.
Fine, I'll see you in a bit.
Okay.
But Hema is your hero, why're we secretly following her?
I think...
she and Dad, have something going on.
What?!
What do you mean letting people go?
Most people are being laid off.
Only some lucky individuals are being re-allocated.
So I'm lucky to be laid off from flying?
You know, I've been the Head of Cabin Staff for 19 years!
Precisely... that's why we're keeping you as the Head of Staff Training.
You're being promoted!
Well, in a sense...
Nonsense!
Hello, yes...
There she is. I knew it!
You're being a psycho, T. There's no one with her.
Follow her, quick. We can't lose her now.
Start the car!
Enough! I'm not going any further.
Look at this.
I don't know what to think...
Dad had an affair with Aunt Hema.
What makes you think that it's still going on?
Not everything you see is what it looks like, T.
You think so? Even after you've seen this?
Maybe he met Hema before he met your mom.
- You're overreacting, babe. - Nope.
Look at the date. This was the year I was born.
And it's killing me to think that I'd probably always known this was going on
but I turned a blind eye to it.
Hey, it's not your fault. How would you've known?
But this is driving me mad!
I've been imagining the worst and...
I just need to see what's happening and get it over with.
Her car.
Don't know about them but we'll surely get caught, T.
I think I'm going to throw up.
Huh? What did you eat?
The truth is making me sick.
Wow, dark!
We're playing a game...
Are you kidnapping me?
Shut up. I'll buy you an ice cream if you keep quiet.
I'm on a diet.
Pilot?
But what is this for?
Let me see.
Gorgeous!
I'll be away for two weeks.
Usual family trip.
One more year. One more vacation.
You're the one I really want to travel with...
long flight, long transit.
- Security! - Ssh!
We need to talk, Arjun.
Now what?
My family is very dysfunctional.
So?
Will you be able to handle us?
T... they may be dysfunctional but at least they're trying.
Have you seen my relationship with my dad?
It's dead!
Way worse than being dysfunctional.
Hey...
...forget all this.
Let's get married and leave all this behind, okay?
I love you but I have a flight to catch.
Let's chat on the phone later.
Hi, Sitara.
Hi!
Majoo, coffee, please.
Where did you go?
Your friend Majoo is quite cool.
He brings poor children home and treats them for free. Nice!
Told you, he's vintage, not dated.
All okay?
Your pulse rate is high. Thought so.
It's common during pregnancy.
She isn't the one who told me.
I've known you since we were kids.
You've always come to me with your problems but pretended
you're asking for a friend.
- Plus, Anjali is smoking... - So?
She's blinding people with pepper spray
and jumped on to my bike without any qualms.
- She's not that dumb... - Hey.
that she doesn't know the dos and don'ts of pregnancy.
Come on, man.
Congratulations, Sitaphal.
So who all know about this at home?
Today we met that dashing pilot's wife...
And she practically forced me to invite her to the wedding.
What?
Yes.
Since her husband is your colleague,
I thought you would like them to attend the wedding.
Catering charges are 900 rupees per person!
You should have refused.
Ma!
Just imagine, after travelling the whole world
he married someone from his village!
Unbelievable!
Why the hell do people marry?
Every time someone is murdered,
the prime suspect is invariably the husband or the wife!
This is the truth.
When men are not around
Let our celebrations abound
Hey... Let our celebrations abound
Were you walking down the road
And mistook someone to be in the groom mode?
Were you just looking to spice up your life when bored?
Marriage is not the way to decode
You think he's reliable
We don't, so it's crushed
His face has a sour expression
Our angel is always blushed
When the heart accepts
Who is the world to reject?
Make him dance to your tunes, left, right, left
Marriage is just an excuse...
To make him dance to your tunes, left, right, left
When men are not around
Let our celebrations abound
Wake up before it showers
There's still time, running away empowers
If you choose someone
Why make their heart regret?
Make him dance to your tunes, left, right, left
Stop teasing me now...
To make him dance to your tunes, left, right, left
When men are not around
Let our celebrations abound
When men are not around
Let our celebrations abound
Go on...
Your doctor friend Majeed might flip if he sees this
but a couple of drags are harmless.
The baby won't just kick, it'll do flips in your belly.
No, man.
Let the baby choose his or her own vices.
I don't want to be the one introducing vices to my kid.
I'm going to be a mother now.
Ooh, I'm going to be a mother now.
Growing up, I've spent all my holidays in this very house.
Every year I'd have new memories, new problems...
So much in my life has changed since then
but nothing in this house has changed.
Our hearts should also be made of stone, isn't it?
Load them up with whatever you want...
They won't crumble and break!
May I?
Wow!
I didn't know you smoked.
All of us have secrets.
You do too... but now you don't share them with me anymore.
And whom do you share your secrets with?
With no one. They're mine.
You know, when you're young you think
that what you're going through is unique.
And that nobody else has faced such issues.
So you don't share your problems with someone older.
The truth is...
No matter how old we get,
we too were once young and restless.
Wow. I love you, Uncle.
- Want to dance? - Anjali will.
- Rejected once! Dance? - Of course!
Let's go.
I'm going to bed.
- T, are you okay? - Yeah.
What's wrong with her?
- Uncle... - What happened?
Today actually Tara... I don't know if I should say this...
May I come in?
Anjali told me that Tara saw you with Arvind today, in that house.
- She thinks you're... - She's right.
Look I'm just saying, there's something bothering Tara.
Because she asked me about Florence today.
Out of the blue.
Are you here to interrogate me about Arvind?
Or to relive old memories?
How long will we keep fighting because of that one episode?
Episode?
You're with Arvind now.
I was with you too at one point.
Come on, Hema.
It's been a long time.
My daughter is getting married and I don't want to fight with you.
Tara is my daughter too.
I know.
I know you love her
and she loves you.
And for her sake, you need to be careful...
And after this you'll never see me again and that's a promise.
Hi, T.
Dad is still having an affair with Aunt Hema.
No...
Hema is having an affair with the pilot.
T, these mint and yogurt balls I'm creating are insane!
Sounds like a fancy name for an age-old recipe.
What's up, T?
I saw Dad coming out of Aunt Hema's room, Arjun.
He must've gone to speak to her.
Come on, Tara.
People can be really stupid at times, Arjun. You have no idea.
Aunt Hema and Dad were my heroes.
I used to worship them.
That's where we go wrong...
We treat people like gods and then get disappointed,
when they make mistakes like mere mortals!
What if I turn out to be just like them?
You're not like anyone else... you are you, I am me...
and we love each other.
I love you.
Now get some sleep. Good night.
T, you have to see Aunt Hema's photos from last night.
So hot!
- Only Aunt Hema, is it? - You too!
What happens in a marriage, Ma?
What do you mean?
I mean, what happens when you're married?
Whatever happens... happens for a good reason.
- Cheating too? - What does that mean?
It happens, people cheat.
Some people do, doesn't mean everyone does.
The same rule doesn't apply to everyone.
- Dad told me about it. - And?
It's Hema's life... her decision.
What?
What do you mean 'it's Hema's life'?
Men always found it hard to resist Hema and you know that.
How can you accept this?
I'm not accepting it. I just don't want to interfere, Tara.
Arvind's to blame too.
He has two children. He should've been more responsible.
Actually, it's more his fault than hers.
- Is this what Dad told you? - Yes.
When you spoke to Anjali about this, she told Dad and he told me.
He tells me everything.
And what about Dad?
What about him?
What if he has an affair with someone?
- It depends... - Depends on what?
- Circumstances, Tara. - What bloody circumstances?
I pray that you never have to find that out!
Look at us, Arvind...
still meeting secretly, like teenagers.
And I'm dreaming of getting married at this age.
'This age'?
Come on, you're the most beautiful woman I know.
True. Then make a choice.
It's not an easy one to make...
I am torn between my love and my family.
No matter which side I choose, I'll lose.
Is it wrong to choose happiness?
It's not wrong, but...
You know what?
Just go, Arvind!
Hema, I can't live without you.
You'll get used to it.
But we'll keep meeting, right?
I don't fly anymore.
Alright, on this trip I'll tell her all about us.
Everything.
No more secrets. No more hide-and-seek.
Come on...
What's the point of torturing yourself like this?
That too for something no one will see.
Obviously Arjun cares about her pleasure.
What a nice surprise!
Face and neck bleach.
I'm done.
I think I need some water.
I forgot to tell you, we are moving to Dubai permanently.
He's got a job with Emirates. We're so excited!
Water...
Tara!
Extreme dehydration can be dangerous during pregnancy.
Pregnancy?
Everything else is fine but she does need to take care of her health.
I'm prescribing some vitamins and folic acid,
make sure she's well hydrated.
Yeah, T...
Majeed, Tara's family has found out.
Shit!
Latha, please, it's okay.
No, Govind. This is getting a bit too much.
What else haven't you told us?
I'm the first one to know when my cow gets pregnant.
T...
Here he is, the father of the child.
- Uncle, Tara? - She's inside.
He gets my child pregnant and is now being Mr. goody two shoes!
Ma, please...
Why didn't you tell me about this, T?
I'm so sorry.
Why're you sorry?
Besides... it's my fault too.
Are you okay?
I'm not.
There's something I haven't told you.
You can tell me now. You can tell me anything. You know that, right?
I was scared, Arjun.
But I did try to talk to you, I really did.
So tell me now.
We have to call off the wedding.
What? Are you mad?
Hey, we love each other and we're having a baby.
And guess what, in a way, our baby gets to be at our wedding...
Who gets that?
The thing is, this child... I don't know whose it is.
London... it was that stupid design summit.
We'd had a fight, two months ago you had moved out...
We were done.
That night I was so drunk, I don't even remember his name.
Sorry.
I could've hidden this but
I didn't want to lie to you, Arjun.
Sorry.
You never told me about London.
When did you... find out?
The day before I proposed to you.
I'm really sorry.
You're right. We have to call off the wedding.
I maybe a nice guy but I'm not stupid!
Arjun.
- Arjun! - Arjun.
Why cancel, Tara?
I'm tired of covering up my lies.
What do you mean?
Unlike her, I have the balls to tell the truth.
Sorry?
Tara...
Of course! If not you, then who's going to keep her secrets?
What does that mean?
Huh?
No!
The year I was born, your sister was screwing your husband.
Tara, why?
You were my hero. I wanted to be like you.
I can explain...
I can just about accept your affair with Arvind.
But... Govind?!
What is this?
- Must be a mistake. - No, it wasn't!
Why would you do this? I'm your sister.
It was a mistake...
It takes one mistake to ruin a thousand lives.
Neither of you thought about me?
- Latha, I... - Shut up! Govind, shut up!
I wasn't born yesterday.
Who turns a mistake into a cherished memory?
This happened a long time ago...
- No! - 25 years...
No.
So what?
Does a wrong become right over time, huh?
Latha, I'm sorry, please forgive me. Please...
No. I won't!
I spent my life trying to make sure...
nothing I do or get
should make my sister feel less in any way.
You're the one who is beautiful. You're the one who is intelligent.
But you've always had a problem with what I have!
That's not true.
- Remember this? - No!
After you pushed me in that race,
I've had to live with this disfigurement my whole life.
- We were very young, please... - No!
I thought I could, but I can't take it anymore!
So, it's all my fault?
Govind doesn't take the blame for anything?
You're all liars!
Latha... Latha!
You used to say, 'love makes a person weak'.
Look!
Look at us now... everyone hates each other.
Run away... as always, into some man's arms.
But this time don't come back.
No one needs you, Hema.
No one. No one needs you.
Ma...
I'm sorry, Latha.
- I'm really, really sorry. - Go away.
Please, Latha, I'm sorry.
Tara... Tara!
Latha, please open the door.
Please, let's talk.
Why Hema?!
Thanks, Majeed.
- Hello? - Listen, Arjun,
I've convinced your aunt to come for the wedding.
The wedding is off.
You lack determination and courage...
You don't even have any self-respect.
It's all because of your mother.
- All that pampering. - Actually it was her love that saved me...
from following in your footsteps of pointless angst and false bravado.
She let me be me, Dad.
Unlike you, I don't choose my actions to prove a point to anyone.
Too much poetry for you, Dad?
Go find someone to talk to about some war.
Everything happened so suddenly.
I was about to tell you.
Really?
A new airline? Suddenly?
I've requested to be assigned to this sector. I'm sure they'll agree.
I'll come and meet you every week.
Hey... I love you.
How will you spend the rest of your life with her?
You feel suffocated in your marriage, don't you?
Or have you been lying to me all this time, Arvind?
You know what...
I want to meet her.
- Try to understand. - I understand everything now...
- I need to tell her. - Please!
What are you doing?
She needs... she deserves to know.
Stop it! Are you mad or what?
Are you blackmailing me?
Look what you've done to me!
Like everyone else, you've used me.
'Used' you?
After so many years...
is this what you think of me?
That I've used you!
- I didn't mean it like that. - Then what did you mean?
You'll come and meet me every week, won't you, Arvind?
Arvind...
I don't want to be alone, Arvind!
These are the papers for this house.
I wanted to surprise you with this gift for our 30th anniversary, but...
You f***** it up!
I f***** it up?
I f*****...
This house isn't just yours, it's mine as well.
We've both paid for it.
Don't give me your share as if you're doing me a favor!
You can't go. Arvind, stop!
Don't leave me alone.
Don't leave...
You can't go!
Can I please have the grilled fish?
Can you please substitute the mashed potatoes with brown rice?
Sure, ma'am.
You shouldn't order fish in a restaurant on Mondays.
Their stock of fish arrives every Tuesday morning.
If you order fish, it'll be stale, leftover from the weekend.
Can I have the grilled chicken instead?
- Okay. - Thank you.
You're welcome.
- Do you want my number? - Why would I?
I'm a chef, I make a mean grilled fish.
You'd said we'd watch an action film.
T...
Why don't you check out the 'action' in that corner seat?
Oh my god!
My god, this turns me on so much.
You're such a clich�! This is...
Listen, no, not here! Babe...
Grandma...
I want to keep the baby.
I told myself, it's fine I don't want kids.
Then this miracle happened.
I don't want to lose the baby just because I messed up.
I want to keep my baby, Grandma.
Do it.
Really?
Ma, I'm so sorry.
- I'm sorry for disappointing you all! - No, love...
At first, I was furious with you, with the truth...
and then, with myself for not being able to see the truth.
But I'm sure I'll be able to deal with the truth in time.
This time, I'll work on what's broken inside me.
And then I'll work on fixing my broken relationships.
Should I then, add another name to the family ledger?
Actually, I want to ask you for something, Grandma.
I want to design a room for the baby. A nursery.
Everything... belongs to you.
And later, to the baby.
Do you want both?
Where the world spins There I spin along
No whiff nor sign of a destination
Falling from the stars I caught a moment to belong
Like a gift, back to Life itself...
Let go of regrets, let go of complaints
More than I asked, is what I've gained
Let go of regrets, let go of complaints
More than I asked, is what I've gained
Let go of regrets, let go of complaints
For I've found you at last...
A tear drop becomes a pearl As it falls, and falls
And the heart flows, like a river
This heart of mine, flows like a river
Crazy and stubborn, but still a believer
I fear nothing, no more
Floating slowly to the shore
Searching for the means To all your graces galore
A desire rises, within my soul
This heart of mine, flows like a river
But when the mind overflows
I'm helpless in its throes
Where the world spins There I spin along
No whiff nor sign of a destination
Na�ve little desire, it kept on changing
All alone I fell, alone I kept on rising
Only your worship, is what gets me through
Like a flower in the desert, rare and blue
That fable, has now become true
Like a gift, back to Life itself
Let go of regrets, let go of complaints
More than I asked, is what I gained
Let go of regrets, let go of complaints
More than I asked, is what I gained
Let go of regrets, let go of complaints
For I've found you at last...
A bird whose cage was once its home Is now free to fly and roam...
And the heart flows like a river
This heart of mine, flows like a river
No heed nor clue, but still a believer...
I fear nothing, no more
Floating slowly to the shore
Searching for the means To all your graces galore
A desire rises, within my soul
This heart of mine, flows like a river
But when the mind overflows
I'm helpless in its throes
A desire rises
Like a gift, back to Life itself
Sorry.
I know... I've really messed up.
Sorry.
Truly sorry.
Ma!
Did you love him?
I don't think I know what love is.
There's something I've been hiding from you as well.
Your father had written a letter to me...
before he deserted me.
- But... - No, he didn't die.
He left me and eloped with his lover.
When he left me...
I was nine years younger than you are now...
a 20-year old mother of two children!
Because he had fallen in love with someone,
I thought that love ruins everything.
That's why I never showed both of you any love.
Instead, I turned into your adversary!
Instead of fixing what was broken within me...
I broke all three of us...
All four of us!
Under all these lies there is one truth, Sitara.
I've always loved you the most.
I'm gifting everything I have, to your baby.
My property too,
a consolation prize that Arvind has left me!
I came here and ruined everyone's lives.
Hello, Miss Fast forward...
You've taught us to tell the truth.
But you're still lying to yourself.
He won't ever come back to me, Grandma.
- He hates me for hiding the truth. - Try...
Try to make things work.
Ms. Designer...
Make sure the kitchen and the nursery are the biggest in the house.
No way.
The city's best chef lives in your house, and you'll make a tiny kitchen?
And why the nursery?
We're not going to have any kids.
In fact, we won't even get married.
Cute.
Stop living in denial and admit that you want loads of babies.
Hopefully... mine.
And whenever they're hungry, their chef daddy will cook
home-grown organic vegetables for them.
You'd make a great dad.
But...
not having kids.
Damaged ovaries.
Fine, there are a lot of kids in the world,
we can adopt some.
But, till then...
Let's keep trying to have kids!
Why now, Chan? We're closing.
Sir, I tried, but the customer insisted.
Is there a problem, ma'am?
How are you, Arjun?
Fantastic.
You?
Come back.
I want you to be the father of my child...
my husband.
I want to grow old with you.
Is that a proposal?
Because, last time you proposed, you were hiding something from me.
I screwed up. I'm sorry.
Oh yeah, you did. You screwed up big time!
I know it's difficult...
I mean, to think that I may be carrying somebody else's child.
You really don't get it?
I do. I swear, I do.
- If I was in your place, maybe I... - How can you not get it, Tara?
I could get a DNA test...
I don't need a bloody DNA test! It'll solve f****** nothing!
Get this, I have no interest in the baby's gene pool.
I've been saying for years we'll adopt children, but you didn't want any.
And now you're pregnant and you want a DNA test
to figure out who the dad is...
But that won't change the fact that you didn't just lie to me,
you didn't think that I deserved to know the truth!
And that's the bloody problem!
Love and trust go hand in hand, Tara.
I know.
That's why I told you the truth.
Oh no you didn't, you had to!
You hid the truth for as long as you could.
What can Arjun do?
He's just a pushover.
You pushed it too far, T.
Just too damn far.
Marry us, Arjun.
I can't do without you.
I just don't want to.
And I promise, there'll be no more secrets between the three of us.
Never ever!
- On one condition. - Anything.
We're not going back to that madhouse.
Where?
Your Grandma's place!
- Is it done? - Yeah.
I like these quick ones.
- So shall we? - What?
Quick one?
Attention!
Hello...
Today is the most important day of my life...
for many reasons.
One of them being my wedding, of course.
Marriage is a strange thing indeed.
Grandma says, whenever there is a murder,
the spouse is always the prime suspect!
Aunt Hema says, marriage is a waste of time.
Sorry!
My mother said, marry the person you want to fight for.
Even if both of you end up fighting for the rest of your lives!
Today, I want to read, to my husband and all of you,
what my mother wrote on the day of her wedding, for her husband.
'Today we will be united...
All that ails my heart will fly away...'
It scares me that our little stories will get lost in the humdrum of daily life...
But to love is to trust...
To trust is to give the other person the power to break that trust
It may be safer to be alone...
But today... today I want my heart to fly...
All my dreams I surrender to your sky...
All my words I surrender to your lips...
My loyalty belongs to you...
My heart is yours...
You are my strength and you are my weakness...
Pick me up if I fall...
I will never let you fall...
Today we will be united...
All that ails my heart will fly away...'
I know I don't deserve to be forgiven but...
I'd like to try asking for your forgiveness.
When I am able to forgive myself, I'll try to forgive you.
Oh, the baby is so cute!
All Punjabi babies are cute...
- The cowshed! - Let's go.
Family.
Someone said it right -
happy families are all alike
but every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way.
If you see my family, there's no telling if we're happy or not.
That's because we're adept at lying,
it's our superpower.
We're pros when it comes to keeping secrets.
We can even make facts disappear!
We keep telling ourselves, it's for the sake of happiness... everyone's happiness.
But happiness goes hand in hand with the truth.
And accepting the truth is the most difficult thing to do.
That's why being happy is the most simple, yet difficult thing to do...
