a night again." - Oh, my God.

Wow! What a room, Boss!

It's even better than sex!

You've got used to

crossing the limits.

It's now my profession.

You spend a lot

of time in this room.

Right?

Yes. Me and my loneliness.

To listen to music in solitude?

What's the story behind it?

Music changes the way you think.

And sometimes doesn't

even give you time to think.

May I? Jagjit Singh.

"Come closer..."

"Furl might not

come to you again."

You are smiling a lot.

What's the sorrow

that you're hiding?

"Embrace me..."

By the way, this was a question.

"For there might never be

such affection in the eyes again."

Gayatri. - Yes?

I wanted to talk to you in private.

Just keep trying.

I'll be back in 5. Hmm?

Yeah, tell me.

How often do you have

sex with your husband?

What? Are you mad?

I'm not going to discuss my sex

life with you in front of everyone.

Tell me.

It's very important for me.

Tell me, please.

What pleasure will

you gain from it?

Self-pleasure?

Oh, God. - Now don't be a prude.

You come here everyday

dressed to kill.

Now why you are

acting like a virgin.

And yes, if you don't give me

the numbers, I'll ask for details.

Once or twice.

- In a week? Not bad!

In a month.

Sometimes, even longer.

- That's all?

Look, sex is over..

Sex is overrated, okay?

Many years after marriage,

it happens only sometimes.

And love?

Dev.

Yes, Dev?

Yeah, I'm going

to be late from work.

Yeah, I'm going to mom's house.

Yeah, I'll see you.

Okay.

Love you. Bye.

I'll have to see you later. - Yeah.

Hi.

You'll like them.

Thank you.

Cool.

You want to come in or... - Oh no.

You want to come out?

What?

You want to come out?

Where?

Just come with me.

Trust me, you'll not regret it.

Come.

But where?

Where are you taking us?

Just come with me.

Hurry up. - No, let's go back.

Come. Come. Come.

Come. Hurry up.

Hurry up now.

Just come.

Hey, where's Savitri?

I don't know. Try there.

Savitri !

Savitri...

Here you are.

Look, I've brought

a big shot with me.

Will you sing for us?

Get lost! I won't.

Please. - She doesn't want to sing.

Let's go.

Dev, please. One second.

Please. - I'll charge.

Yes, of course.

"We are fortunate

to get this moment."

"Look at me all you want

by getting close to me."

"For you might never

have this pleasure again."

"For we might never meet again."

"Come to me."

"To me."

I don't know what happened

He was in such a great mood.

He was very happy-

He didn't tell you why?

No.
