What do you mean?
I'm not a sell-out!
I'm honest with my followers.
Do whatever you want.
I won't delete the video.
Cool. Don't delete it.
I'll make sure you don't get any collaborations
in the Chandigarh circuit anymore.
Then you'll understand.
Listen, you're crossing the line.
-I'll talk to him. -Deeksha!
-Hello? -Yeah, who are you?
I-I...
This is Deeksha, Kritika's manager.
-Alright. Remember my name. -Manager?
And how dare you talk to us like this!
We haven't signed your terms and conditions.
So let's end this conversation here. Over and out.
-Over and out? -Deeksha...
Weren't we going to split the food bill?
Drinks were on me.
Cheapskate.
Ma'am...
Yes, Akshat.
'This is Akshat, our Talent Manager.'
'His life motto: Wake up, hustle, sleep, repeat.'
'He's always chasing money.'
'But he's the turning point of my future.'
It didn't work out.
I knew it.
Bad day.
I shouldn't have come to the office.
My tarot card reader had already informed me.
Stress is negative energy for me.
Right.
Ma'am, about this Kritika...
Ma'am, she has a lot of potential.
She's fresh, relatable.
She's raw, but with proper training, she'll learn.
Ma'am, I think... I'm sorry, it's just a suggestion.
But before someone else signs her,
we should sign her.
Today's the 7th, right, Akshat?
Yes, ma'am.
Mercury retrograde is about to start.
Don't start a new relationship at all.
It's very unsafe.
Close the door.
Right, ma'am.
I think we should exchange numbers.
-Yes... -Yes?
Manav, can you please drop me to the airport quickly?
Do you live at the airport?
No, actually, I just got a text from Deven.
His cousin Gurpreet,
his transit flight was from Chandigarh.
And he wants me to come meet him now.
One minute!
Breaking rules on the first day?
We just talked about it, "me before you."
No expectations. We're not friends.
We're anti-friends.
Okay, bye.
Please?
Brother, eat the chicken, else it'll get stale.
The beer will get warm.
'Sorry, I can't come.'
Brother, Kritika won't be able to come.
Tell me one thing.
Look here.
What's more important to her?
Brother, what are you saying?
You're the one blabbering!
You always do this to me!
Last time with Riya, now it's Kritika.
Who saves you every time?
You.
But brother, Kritika is a very nice girl.
Nonsense! Just chill!
Enjoy life.
You're a young, handsome Jutt!
You're muscular too.
If I were in your place...
all the pretty ladies of Chandigarh
would be in my arms!
Forget about sad songs.
Play Badshah's playlist.
Understood, or should I explain further?
I understood.
But meet Kritika once.
-Darn it. -Just once.
It's either Kritika or someone else...
Sister, you're very lucky.
If I stay out of the house till 10:30...
my mom will create a scene. A huge scene.
Manish is there to play Patriarchy 101.
Mom trusts me.
Because I've never hidden anything from her.
I've never skipped my 10:30 curfew.
And if three beers are allowed, why drink a fourth?
Mom and Dad have been running the bookstall at the university for 18 years.
They've seen kids from every generation.
And they know that kids with very strict parents
are the ones who cause the most trouble.
I can't even tell my mom...
that I drink secretly.
Chill out, girl.
We're all low-key hypocrites anyway.
That's true.
Deven's secret gives me a major guilt trip. A major guilt trip.
The day I start a relationship,
I'll tell Mom first thing. First thing.
'I'm outside. Can we meet?'
'If not, I understand. We'll meet tomorrow.'
'Coming in 5 minutes.'
Hey sister, what's going on? Why are you letting your hair down?
Deven is here to meet me.
Do I look okay?
You're such a hypocrite.
Listen, if anyone gets up
or asks about me, call me quickly.
Don't stress.
Okay.
-Sis, go already. -Yes.
Hi.
I am so sorry for asking you to sneak out.
But I had to talk to you in person.
Please, Deven.
I should be the one apologizing. I'm really sorry.
No, please.
I wish I could've planned this better.
But Gurpreet's message came out of nowhere.
And you know how much his opinion matters to me.
It really does.
If I'd listened to Gurpreet, then this
Riya trauma wouldn't have happened.
Kritika...
I feel like I've lost my objectivity.
And I really want to give us a chance.
Really.
That's why I was just saying that if you
could meet Gurpreet once, you...
Of course, and trust me, I really tried.
But I couldn't even get a cab.
And Manav wasn't willing to take a detour.
The two of us have decided to make Anti-Friends.
Kritika, I know we've discussed that
your collaboration with Manav
is better for your future, but
Kritika, you're a nice girl.
You're inherently nice, and he seems like a selfish prick.
How will your collaboration work?
We've decided to make Anti-Friends together.
Anti-Friends.
If there's so much problem with the name,
imagine how problematic the concept must be.
There might be some issues,
but I'll manage.
There are always a few difficulties at the start.
It's natural.
Are you convincing me or pacifying your own doubts?
Both.
No, no.
Stop being cute.
Seriously, Deven. I
finally feel like my dream of becoming a content creator
is about to come true and
to achieve that dream,
Manav and Anti-Friendship
are both very important.
Okay.
I should go, otherwise...
-Okay. Bye. -Bye.
What's your vibe?
House parties or clubbing?
Of course, House Party!
Why does it take you so long to reply?
By the way, I would prefer clubbing over house parties any day.
It feels so good, you know; getting dressed up nicely and going out,
meeting nice people outside,
no fuss with the playlist and no pressure on the host.
Clubbing is better than house parties, any day!
Sweaty bodies, overpriced drinks,
no control over the playlist,
and for women, a guaranteed UTI.
Of course,
clubbing is the real deal.
Agree to disagree?
Let's agree to disagree.
Can you see the clock?
-It's 2:30 AM. -'This is my dad.'
'Warm, loving.'
'But when my brother and I don't listen to him, '
'then he starts going off.'
Who is she talking to on video call?
Oh, she's working.
That online video thing.
Online video thing...
I don't know what's wrong with both our kids.
I worked so hard to set up a business for them,
one wants to sell houses as a broker,
and the other spends all day on the phone.
Don't worry. I know everything that's going on.
-You know everything, huh? -Yes.
-Then you answer upstairs too. -To whom?
-You'll know when you go. -Huh?
'This is Tejal. Manav's younger sister.'
'She's very wise, though.'
'In Gen Z lingo, she's a woke person.'
I don't know where these mosquitoes came from, brother.
'She/Her pronouns and a plant mom.'
'She's really woke.'
Brother?
You mosquito...
I mean...
You're seriously dating Nikhil, right?
Not that again, bro.
Hello! Hello!
Look at this.
The entire season of Highway Luck has been binge-watched,
and you're telling me that
you watched the entire show with some random stranger.
Brother, you're overthinking.
And I'm not a kid.
Tejal,
did I argue with mom and dad
and bring you from Karnal to Chandigarh for this?
I save half my salary every month.
I keep doing something or the other for loans so that
you can focus on your prep
and study at a good college in the UK.
How many times do I need to explain?
If you stay here...
mom will get you married right after college.
Yes, I know...
No, one minute.
Am I like those other old-school brothers?
Am I?
Have I ever stopped you from anything?
I even say, go chill with your friends,
go on casual dates too,
but why are you getting emotional in this young love thing?
What don't you understand?
Your priority right now
should be your studies, your career, just this! Nothing else!
Don't you understand this simple thing?
Do you know why I lied to you?
Because you...
You won't understand
what Nikhil and I share.
Oh really?
It's real, brother.
He motivates me.
Tejal,
it takes you 2 hours in the morning to decide
whether to wear pink socks or red socks.
And now you have so much clarity in matters of love?
What are you on about?
What? What am I saying?
Am I saying something wrong?
I don't even have the skillset to argue with you.
I don't want to say anything.
-You possess the other skills! -I don't want to talk.
Mom's dumbness and dad's stubbornness.
This is what you had to inherit!
Huh? As if you're adopted!
The Chaudharys are insane!
-Hello. -Cafe Marino, Sector 48,
45 minutes, coffee is on me.
Yeah, okay, but...
Are you okay?
You sound a bit stressed.
Sorry, my bad.
The "Anti-Friends" line shouldn't be crossed.
Okay, anyway, I will see you.
I hope the debate topic is good.
Bye.
Kittu, dear, did you see the orange shirt I kept out for Manish?
What's this?
Why are you wearing Manish's shirt?
It has to be returned. Take it off.
Take it off, right now.
Mom, I liked it, so I kept it. Okay.
-What okay? -Bye. Love you.
What love you?
The sheet.
This girl hangs all the bedsheets on the walls.
Manav,
these things look good only on paper.
Young love provides emotional support,
and a sense of purpose.
For example,
Riteish-Genelia.
Virat-Anushka.
Michelle-Obama.
Understand?
This time, both aren't convinced.
Should we go live?
That would be best.
Engagement will increase, and we'll
also get a new perspective from our followers.
Great idea.
Totally fuck all idea.
Okay?
I'm going to get coffee. Do you want some?
Hi guys.
So...
You know, no matter what my friend thinks...
One second.
I know this is totally off-topic, but
I can't believe it.
423 people have joined my live session.
To listen to me talk.
I can't believe...
Thank you so much, fam.
You all are amazing.
Please share my videos.
Like and comment on them.
I have 9,900 followers now.
Just 100 more to go,
then I'll reach 10k.
10k has always been my dream.
Please, guys. Come on, we can do this, right?
Coming back.
Priya says I'm very pretty...
Thank you, Priya.
You look very cute in your DP too.
Vicky says it's my birthday...
Oh, Happy Birthday Vicky.
See, Rohan,
pain and sorrow
can be part of love stories at any age.
Really.
And I believe that
young love isn't foolish
if you find the right partner.
Honestly, for example,
look at my mom and dad.
They lived in the same colony,
inter-caste marriage,
and on top of that, people's old-fashioned mindset.
Every problem an old-school romance could face,
they faced it all, with all the drama.
They eloped, got married,
and were disowned by their parents.
But most importantly, they never left each other.
They supported one another
and started a new life together.
And their by-product is me.
And I must say, they did pretty well.
-Right? -'Saw aunt at the shop.'
'Uncle is living the good life.'
'Will she go out with me out too?'
Shut up, Big Guy 93!
She's my mom!
You better apologize right now, or I'll slap you.
'If aunt won't give, then come on, you give instead.'
Come to the shop. I'll stab you with a knife!
Then you can cry bloody tears!
'I like it bloody. Tell me, when should I come?'
How can someone talk like that about someone's family?
I did the right thing, right?
Are you asking me?
Yes, I mean, it was the right thing to do...
-Right? -Want the truth?
No.
Online people can twist your words however they want.
-So, Manav, you should've stopped me. -Stopped you...
I told you earlier not to go live.
For me, only your views matter.
Whatever anyone else says doesn't matter to me.
Honestly, same.
Whenever something happens, I think, "What will Manav think?"
"What will he say..." Manav...
You didn't eat this pastry.
Hungry? Want momos?
A new shop opened in Sector 9.
It'll help refresh your mind.
Actually, I had plans with friends.
We think by evening we'll hit 10k,
so we planned a celebration.
That's a great plan.
You enjoy with your friends.
What's going on?
Want a drink?
No?
Dad called.
He said you last spoke to him on Holi.
You should talk to Mom and Dad sometimes.
What do you think...
I don't want to talk?
But I need to know what to say.
There's nothing to talk about; I don't know what to say.
"No worries, Dad."
"I forgive you for our messed-up childhoods."
Something like that.
It's not that easy, Tejal.
Dad...
Not once...
Three times he faced losses in different businesses...
Everyone told him not to take money from the market.
But his stubbornness.
You're stubborn too, Brother.
Isn't it strange?
The habits in our parents that we hate as kids,
we think about them so much...
that they somehow seep into us
without us realizing.
What happened?
It's Nikhil's message.
Then talk to him.
Why are you so scared?
I won't say anything.
It could be genetic factor,
but I'm a work in progress.
I'm working on myself.
Sorry about this morning.
I didn't yell too much, did I?
If that's too much yelling, then...
What's with this sudden change of heart?
I met Kritika.
We had a discussion, she gave me a new point of view,
which felt right.
-She explained it to you? -Yes.
And you understood?
Is this Kritika imaginary or what?
Crazy...
It was the landlord aunt's call—a video call.
For a full two hours, she checked all the furniture and kitchen containers.
Her son in the UK has expensive stuff here, you know.
Sorry.
One day we'll have a grand house of our own,
then you can put whatever you want, break whatever,
mess up however you like.
Cheers.
Bro! My meme page's new post.
Isn't it funny?
I started following a new creator.
"I'll stab you with a knife!"
Crazy bro.
-Cute girl with scary expressions... -Right?
This will become a cult meme joke.
You think it has potential to go viral?
There's only one way to find out.
-Upload it. -Should I?
Do it.
