..that God thinks about your life

the way you think it should be.

That's why someone has said that

if you want to humour God..

..then tell him all

your future plans.

Well, I apologise from the

bottom of my heart..

..that you couldn't see

the filming more closely.

My last film was a little

controversial..

..which is why the government has

provided extra security for me.

The security caused you

some inconvenience..

..believe me I'm just

as troubled by it.

That's why I've left them very

far away. All the way there.

And have come close to you.

I've been told to give some

direction to the children here.

Direction? It is a big word.

Forgive me, madam principal.

I can't. It's too hard.

But I'd like to say one thing

to my little friends.

Children, the days of childhood..

..are the most beautiful and

best days of your life.

Chunni, sitting over

there would say..

..that she has broken her

tooth and it's paining.

Or Bunty over here would say..

..that his teacher had given

him a sound beating.

Some kids are afraid of exams.

Those days are beautiful.

The most beautiful days.

Yes, children.

I want to assure you..

..these are the most beautiful days.

Because Bunty, when you grow up..

..and you have a beard

like this gentleman..

And Chunni, when you become a pilot..

..and you are worried

about flying a plane.

Then you would yearn for these days.

But you will never get back

these days and these moments.

Today, you're heart is pure.

It is pure.

Shining gold!

The relationships you form now.

The friends you make..

..you'll never ever make such friends

and relationships ever in life.

Looking at you, reminded

me of my childhood.

You have good clothes, good

books to read and good food.

Maybe you won't believe me..

..but in my childhood I

had none of these things.

My childhood was very

ordinary and simple.

I was not the film star Sahir,

but just Sahir.

My father was very poor.

We had nothing.

But in everyone's childhood

there is someone..

..who makes a definite

impression on us.

He becomes a partner in our

mischief and shares our troubles.

He's our friend and companion.

I had a companion who

was just like that.

My support.

The blessing of my God.

Billu.

Billu, my friend.

I still remember, during

our lunch-break..

..children used to eat

from their lunch-boxes.

I just used to drink water.

It was Billu who used to pat my

back and give me his lunch.

My friend.

My hair was as long as a girls'.

But I didn't have money to cut them.

It was Billu who cut my hair..

..when his father was

not in his shop.

Billu....My friend.

When I used to be sad thinking

about my mother..

..he used to steal money from his

father and take me to watch movies.

He was Billu.

My friend.

While returning home,

he used to get me..

..to mimic characters from movies..

..by promising to buy roasted

groundnuts for me.

Those evening and those lanes..

..Billu had brought

out the actor in me.

I didn't have as much faith

in myself as Billu had in me.

One day he sold his gold earring

and bought me a ticket to Mumbai.

He kept the rest of his

money in my shirt-pocket.

I held his hand and told him that

I would return the money.

He told be that I didn't

have to return it.

I should help the needy with it..

..and remember him when I did.

That's enough.

Then I came to fast-paced Mumbai.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa............

I became Sahir, the

film star in no time.

I went back to my village to find

him, but I couldn't find him.

Someone told me that he had

fallen in love with a girl..

..who didn't belong to his caste.

The villagers were against them..

..so they ran away in

fear of their lives.

They left the village.

I would like to tell you the truth.

I have everything..

..name, fame, all because of him.

Wherever I go, millions of people

flock. They call out my name.

The air is filled with

cries of my name.

But even today amongst those

millions of voices..

..I search for only one voice.

The voice of my friend, Billu.

You never told me.

You sold your earring.

The lunch-box episode.

But he remembers everything.

Yes. I never thought he'd

remember all that.

I can spend the rest of my life

knowing that Sahir still misses me.

I don't want anything from him.

He has a very big heart.

That's why he is where he is.

What happened? The programme

has come to an end?

No.

Then why did you come home?

We started crying. So we ran away.

Forgive us, Dad.

We made a big mistake.

My darling, come here.

Caalu..! Caalu..!

I would do the same

thing if I were you.

I heard everything you said.

It was wrong of me to think that

you've become a rich man..

..who would have forgotten

everything.

I would forget?

I searched for you, but

I didn't find you.

But you could've got my address.

Didn't you ever feel like seeing me?

When I ran away from the village,

I had many problems.

No money, new responsibilities,

new house and an unknown place.

Many years went by before I could

set up this house and business.

You moved up so fast and I was left

thinking about meeting you.

You've gone too far ahead.

Then I lost hope of meeting you.

I'm in a bad condition.

I didn't want you to see

me in this condition.

Let it go.

It was the fear in my heart.

I was ashamed.

You were ashamed?

Of me?

I thought so.

Forgive me.

- Bindiya?

- Yes.

Come here.

What are you names?

Gunja. And this is Duggu.

- Duggu?

- My name is Ronak.

Very nice.

I've come to your house

for the first time.

Are you not going to serve me?

I'll get some halwa (sweets) for you.

Billu, I have to go now.

But I will come back soon.

We'll go to our village together.

If it's possible, you should

settle down there.

So that we can relive our memories.

Sahir Khan!

- Hello.

- This is uncle. The rest are our neighbours.

- Hello!

- Hello!

Hello.

Okay, bye-bye.

Sir, I'm Jhallan Budbudiya.

I've written a poem.

I'm Billu's friend. I'll be

grateful if you listen to it.

"You came close."

"You came close. And smiled

in such a way."

"You showed me countless dreams."

"Now I can neither sleep,

nor stay away."

"What can I do? A lot of things

are happening to me at once."

It's very good. I'll use

it in my next film.

Yes, sir. This is my

most recent work.

"Pappu can't saalaa dance."

No, Budbudiya. That's enough.

Nobody offers me such songs.

But sir, you..

Sahir Khan!

Come on!

Brother Billu!

Billu!

Brother Billu!

"Billu, the Terrible."

"Billu can't be touched

by a thorn or a stone."

"Billu, the Terrible."

"Billu is as sharp as blade."

"Like the lather of the soap."

"Like a fragrant perfume."

"There's no better

barber than Billu."

"There's no one more famous

in the world than him."

"There's no better

barber than Billu."

"There's no one more famous

in the world than him."

"Everything is all right."

"If God is with you,

everything is all right."

"We've made promises,

in front of God,."
