Why do you want

to work with our bank?

Because, Sir...

Your bank is the best.

Mr. Malhotra, we want a

candidate with a 7-point grade...

which you don't have.

Nevertheless...

give us 5 minutes?

I felt suffocated.

I couldn't answer the girl

I had loved for two years...

And I was waiting for an answer

for a job I didn't care about.

What was I doing?!

And more so, sir...

Sunsilk depicts the modern,

confident woman, who no matter what-

Yes?

Sorry, sir.

I have something important

to discuss with her.

Her interview is on...

Can't you wait?

No, sir. Sorry.

I only need a minute.

Hows the interview going?

Krish Malhotra,

this better be important!

Ananya Swaminathan...

I've never loved

anyone like this before.

I want to marry you.

MarTY me?

Please?

Is everything Okay?

Yes, sir...

Now what?

Now.. say yes?

Yes!

Now go...

or I won't get the job.

Okay! All the best!

Sorry, sir...

So, as I was saying...

Sunsilk...

And the confident woman...

Girl...

Why are you wearing slippers?!

Forget the slippers... Why

did you bring so many sweets?

Shipra, Guddo, Rajji...

everyone wanted to come!

You're the one who told them not to.

They've all sent

boxfuls of love to you!

And why have you

become so thin?

Mom... Come on. Let's go.

This was bound to happen... Who can

survive only on vegetarian food?!

- Vastrapur road, please.

- Hold this.

Mom...

I want you to meet someone.

Who?

A girl.

A Girl?

Are you in relationship?!

No, mom...

She's just a very good friend.

Friends are always very good.

If they were bad,

they wouldn't be our friends.

Her name is Ananya...

She's got a great

marketing job with Sunsilk!

Really! Sunsilk shampoo! Can

she send us half a dozen cartons?

Mom, please don't talk like a middle

class woman. You will embarrass me.

Stop the rickshaw!

Turn it around! Turn!

I was foolishly excited to

come for your conversation!

Slogged like a donkey to

find all these sweets for you!

Why did I come if all I do is embarrass

you in front of your friends?!

Girls only cause

fights at home.

See? He's absolutely right!

You please just drive ahead.

Mom...

Listen to me...

That's not what I meant...

I've told Ananya so many stories

about you, she's dying to meet you!

By the way, Krish...

Did you tell her

everything about us?

No...

Just how hard you've

worked to raise me.

And how beautiful you are...

Leave the butter for your food!

Listen, sir!

What do Gujaratis

eat for dessert?

Sweet Lentils?

Mom... Ananya.

Hello, Aunty!

Hello...

Krish is always

talking about you!

Really? Since I arrived, he's

been talking only about you.

Shall we sit, Mom?

Here?

Ananya... Where's Aunty?

She's on her way... You know how

long she takes to wear her sari!

Oh, yes...

Since when do you know

so much about saris?

Oh!

Oh God! They're Madrasis!

Tarn I I ian.

Same thing.

Okay, mom. Come quickly!

Mum... Dad... This is Krish.

And his mom.

[Man] u.

I'm so happy we're

all together.

Where's Krish's father?

He has a heart problem.

He can't travel.

Oh.

Okay.

I'll see you.

What kind of father misses

his own son's convocation?

Let it go, Radha.

- They let Madrasis study here?

- Mom!

I have to go join the line.

Please talk to them.

In which language?

I don't speak Madrasi.

We are all going for

lunch together tomorrow

You can go if you want to.

I'll eat alone.

So...

Aunty... How does it feel?

Are you excited?

Yes... but this is what

we expected from Ananya!

Oh. good.

Uncle...

How long are you staying?

Two days.

Why?

I was thinking...

we could hire a car

and go sight seeing tomorrow?

No.

We can go see Gandhi Ashram?

Yes! Very good idea, Aunty!

Gandhi Ashram! Done!

Okay, Mom? Gandhi Ashram!

What's there in Gandhi Ashram?!

I don't want to go.

Typical Punjabi.

All money, no class.

Uncultured people.

Uncultured and us?!

These Madrasis are

the uncultured ones!

What?!

What did you say?

Nothing, Aunty!

Mom, please, control!

Control? These Madrasis

should control their daughters!

Look at all the

Madrasi heroines...

each one has trapped

a Punjabi boy!

Control!

Why should I control?

Come on, let's go! Come on!!!

What happened?

I'm telling the truth!

Krish! Let's go!

Thank Goodness you didn't

touch their feet instead!

Krish!

Love you!

That day,

I watched my mother graduate.

She was so happy...

She forgot all her problems...

But by then, Ananya's

parents had a problem.

What are you staring

at that for? Just write Delhi.

There's no need

to go anywhere else.

I had a few days off

before the job started...

so I went home.

Things were tense...

Neither mom nor Ananya's

family had forgotten the fight.

Hi!

Phone sex?

What?!

Today's my first day at Sunsilk!

It's a great office...

I'm very excited!

You're applying

to Chennai... right?

Mom wants me to

stay in Delhi...

You know I'd come there

if I had an option...

Please come! I miss you!

I'll figure it out.

Good.

I love you.

Hmm.

No.

You have to say it.

Mom's watching...

Hard luck. Say it.

I...

love...

you...

Zing! This new app.

I'll message you the name.

Download it.

Very bad, Krish! Please think

of something better next time!

Okay. Bye.

Ananya! What did he say?

Nothing.

Beware of that Madrasan.

They're experts

at brainwashing boys!

Mom, her name is Ananya.

And I love her.

She's making a fool of you!

She's successful, has a good job.

Why would she fool me?

Look. We Punjabis are...

fair and good looking.

And these Madrasis... Dark.

They're jealous of us!

Have you seen Ananya?

She's fairer than me!

These fair skinned Madrasans

are even more dangerous!

What nonsense!

Sorry, Mom! Sorry!

Today, it's just my finger...

it's going to

be my throat tomorrow!

Okay, Mom... relax.

I'll apply to Delhi.

- Promise?

- Promise.

Happy?

Now, where are the band-aids?

There.

Writer?!

So, you're going to wander around

in your khadi kurta, with a ratty bag?

It's that Madrasan's doing.

She's going to ruin your life!

Tell him! He shouldn't

repeat your mistakes!

What did you gain from this love

marriage? Besides fighting?

We'll find a nice, educated

girl for Krish... Right?

I already found a nice,

educated girl, Mom.

But she's a Madrasan!

- So?

- So?!

What if tomorrow you want to marry an

Assamese or Oriya girl? Unacceptable!

Great. He's here.

Hello, brother-in-law.

I said hello, brother-in-law.

What are you doing here?

What do you mean?

My sister invited me.

Great. One wretch has come to cry

over the wretchedness of another.

I haven't come her to be humiliated!

I don't know how you stand it!

This is the limit.

Look, son.

You should meet Dolly...

She's a nice girl for you.

Look at them.

Even the greatest

love fades over time.

Okay.

Be well. Take care.

Who's Dolly?

Who is Dolly?

- ls he looking for girls?

- Yes.

Why wasn't I told?

What is it to you? Don't

feign interest in our lives.

We're not used to it.

You and your family
