the house or knead dough!

Of course not. She agrees.

Fight terminated.

Your mother scolded you not me.

She says don't eat dinner.

But you may eat my share.

Has she decided to be a heroine?

That's right. So what do you say?

Do you have to ask?

l can't believe it!

Can l really be a heroine?

Listen to her! What is this?

These days girls with brinjal

noses become heroines.

Then why can't you?

Features like yours...

She doesn't have them, right?

You're right.

Do one thing. We're going shopping.

Ask the cashier for 2000 bucks.

Now go ahead.

Our cameraman, make up man,

As they keep praising you,

my problems are mounting.

lt's diMcult to pair a hero

with a girl as pretty as you.

Iook great with you.

Why don't you talk

to afamous hero?

That's what even l wanted.

But there's one problem.

But my money is still there.

Taking an established star

We can make a good proposal.

Mala's mother.

Looks like Mala.

Sharma International...

New face Mala as a heroine.

Look at this and this!

Such deception!

Why are you screaming?

l'm cying hearing the news

of my death, not screaming.

Look at this! A living

example of shamelessness!

These are my pictures.

Why must you scream?

These are not pictures.

You've slapped me on my face.

Your mother kept nagging me.

Don't give her the freedom

to loaf. And l...

Out of love for you,

l kept cursing her.

You took undue advantage

of my love and decency.
