...and a lovely one, too. No date

could be as memorable.

Thank you, my friend.

Good night.

He's not going to look back.

Waiting for someone to look back

is so 90s.

I was just checking out his ass.

Cute, no?

Really?

I partied after a year. I had a blast.

The banker is a cool guy.

Cool, decent and fun.

A rare combination.

Come to think of it,

he's everything you

wanted me to be.

Hook him!

He was my date, but you're

the one swooning.

Ok. You stay cool. But if he

throws you a line, grab it.

I'm done with hooking up,

breaking up.

I want to stop. Be still.

Stay in one place.

You're scaring me.

I'm scared too. I feel as though

I've finally grown up.

Don't want to be stupid anymore.

So when will I get this

"grown up" feeling?

Not in this lifetime for sure.

But don't lose heart.

Guys like you are assured a rebirth

to repent for all your sins.

- You've sinned more than me, witch.

- But I paid up being with you.

Now I get it.

So all the boyfriends before me

were your "sins."

And I, your "atonement."

Anay, your "reward."

Exactly!

I don't believe it.

I'm your "atonement?"

- That's worse than "sin."

- Get over it!

Walk home alone.

Hope you're mugged.

(DOG BARKING)

Shyra, wait!

(PHONE RINGING)

Bonjour. Paris Sidewalks.

Can I help you?

May I speak to singer

Sunidhi Chauhan?

Pardon?

Singer Sonu Nigam here.

Anay!

You remember my name.

That's a good sign.

I had a good time last night.

Your pal Dharam is nuts. He's mad.

He has a crush on you too.

If you want to avoid me,

give me his number...

...I'll try my luck with him.

Seriously, Shyra, I really like you.

If you don't think I'm an

avoidable boring banker,

let me take you out next week.

Next month?

How about next year?

Tonight?

Tonight? I can't. I have a date.

I'm sorry.

I'm kidding! Pick you up at 8.

Ok.

(FOOTBALL MATCH, TV)

Off to Disneyland?

Yes? Looks hot?

Did someone die?

(GASPS)

Hello!

Meeting in a restaurant?

Or booked a hotel room?

- Idiot.

- Please change.

Perfect!

Enjoy!

So, did you have sex?

- Dharam, it was our first date.

- So what?

On our first date you shook

the Eiffel Tower.

- That's why we're just friends today.

- Oh, this is the forever guy.

Is that why you're playing

goody-goody with Mr Banker?

- Shut up.

- Did you kiss?

He's a gentleman, not

a pervert like you.

What a loser!

So you just whispered

sweet nothings in his ear?

How sweet!

You're giving me diabetes.

Oh, get lost.

The girl who fell into my cornflakes...

(OPERA, SINGING)

Every time I go to the opera,

it feels like the first time.

I can't explain it but...

Am I boring you?

Not at all. You know so much

about the opera.

In fact, if you hadn't explained,

it would've bored me.

I like you, Shyra.

I really like you.

So no kissy-wissy last night?

No.

I hope this banker isn't gay?

You better find out.

You're finally serious

about a guy...

...don't want you crying on

my shoulder, wetting my t-shirt.

- He's not gay.

- How do you know?

You would know. You have

a lifetime of experience.

So it's the opera every Friday?

What about our Friday movie night?

That's damn gay.

That's very rude.

- Not you! A movie? Friday night?

- Don't think so.

You want ball?

(MUSIC, RECORD STORE)

Anay, my man.

Dharam, my man. Am I disturbing?

I have a rule.

Never work so much that

a friend could disturb you.

Nice. Need a favour. Can you

gatecrash my date again?

Of course. That's my specialty.

When and where?

I have a yacht in Cannes. I'd like

Shyra to come for the weekend.

Come with us, it'll be fun. And

Shyra will feel more comfortable.

You must have a special friend.

Bring her too.

Of course, of course.

My special friend and I'll be there.

Great! I'll text you the time

and place.

Awesome!

You like French music?

I like French girls who like

French music.

Baby, I love your skin.

So nice and silky!

You're French rasmalai.

- You know "rasmalai?"

- No.

Like mille-feuille.

(WOWING)

New bikini for new boyfriend?

Your Miss Playboy is here, so I'd

better put up a good fight.

Hot, no?

- Do you ever talk or just...

- I have you for talking.

Oh, yeah. Right.

I have only one life.

Can't blow it talking.

Guys, ice-lollies.

Cool!

Give me one.

Baby, want an ice-lolly?

I can't. I have a Vogue shoot

on Monday.

A Vogue shoot on Monday?

Poor girl. She's a model.

I'll take both.

- Come!

- I don't know how to swim, baby.

Hey, Shyra. Can you please

explain to her in French?

- Come on! It's only a Jet Ski.

- Dharam, I'll save you.

(WATER SPLASHING)

(GROANING)

Mama...

I hope you're not bored

with the boring banker.

'Cos the banker is bored stiff.

Good night, Shyra.

I better go.

(DOOR OPENS)

Oh, what a gentleman.

(SQUEALING)

Round 2.

What an idiot!

(CAR DOOR OPENS)

"Shyra, please meet me at 8

at the top of the Eiffel Tower.

"Something very important.

"Wear that blue dress

I bought you. Please.

"Love you. See you there."

Shyra, I live in the modern world

but I'm old-fashioned.

I follow the traditional path

when taking life decisions.

Oxford-educated, work in an old

finance company and now...

...romancing at the top

of the Eiffel Tower.

I know it's a clich.

But it's classic...

...and beautiful...just like you.

I know it's the live-in age. Couples

try it out before the big leap.

But I don't need time to choose

my life partner.

I'm a banker, so I know a good

investment when I see one.

So Miss Shyra Gill...

...will you marry me?

WITCH.

(PHONE RINGING)

Can't talk, call tomorrow.

Meet me at the Place des Vosges.

Shyra, I'm in a highly sensitive

position right now. Can't leave.

I don't care, Dharam Gulati.

15 minutes!

(FOUNTAIN WATER GUSHING)

If it's anything less than cancer,

I'll kill you myself.

I sacrificed the hottest moment

of my life for you.

- Anay has proposed to me.

- Proposed, as in...?

Marriage?

Do you think I'm a girl someone

can spend a lifetime with?

I don't know why

I'm asking you.

No one has spent as much time

with me as you.

Never lived with anyone else.

Never felt scared getting into

a relationship before.

Didn't believe any relationship

was forever.

But a marriage is forever, right?

I have often failed in love,

I don't want to fail at marriage.

I'll tell you a little secret.

This forever kind of love is an idea

you girls are born with.

And you'd just have to wait

for the right guy to show up.

But till now you've only met lusty

fools like me. Can you think "forever?"

Now the right guy has finally

shown up.

Don't over-think.

Anay is perfect for you.

And he couldn't dream of

a better life-partner.

It's Dharam's guarantee!

You're 24-hour entertainment.

He'll never get bored.

Just say yes.

No chance you'll fail.

I can't believe...

...I'm asking you for advice in making

my biggest decision.

(LAUGHING)

- I'll be finished.

- Not really. You'll just get fat.

You'll walk in the park with

a milk bottle in one hand...
