I'd be nothing.

I can't say it enough...

I love you, Neelu.

Go for it!

That's my buddy!

Touch wood, Vinod.

God has been very kind.

Our only wish is that

our daughter...

and our son-in-law...

quickly give us a grandson!

Oheers to that!

Oheers!

Oome on lets have dinner!

You know Vinod just had a heart attack.

- I know...

If we knew the Soods are coming

we wouldn't come.

Vandana aunty, it must've

slipped Mama's mind...

How?!

Everyone knows our equation with the Soods.

Vinod can't stand Lalit Sood.

Mom please take it easy...

They're standing right here.

Rana, please!

Neelu should've told us.

Now what have I done?

You could've made a little

more effort at your outfit.

I did.

- It's not a big deal...

I don't get involved in

making these guest lists.

Neelam looks into all that.

Kamal...

Don't be formals.

We've been tolerating our

wives for so many years.

We can tolerate the Soods for 2 weeks!

O'mon man!

It's your anniversarys...

Oheers!

Oome on Smita Ji, you must have a drink!

Shall I get you a drink?

I have arthritis.

I can't hold the glass for too long.

I'll help you.

I love this Neelam Aunty.

This is so stunning!

Thank you!

My anniversary gift.

Wow!

Have you met Kabir?

- Yes.

Kabir!

Oome here, son.

Have you met Noorie?

Yes... Hi.

Hi...

Now she's your responsibility...

Have fun.

Thank you.

So what's been up?

What's been up?

My fianc left me at the altar.

Everyone is laughing at my family

and my mom blames me.

But you already knew this?

No.

My fianc Jai went to Goa-

Ex-fiance...

Ex-fiance, Jai...

went to Goa for his bachelor trip.

There he met a hippie, fell in love

and that was that.

That's rough.

It was in the front page of the Delhi Times.

Headlines...

Noorie Sood...

"Not so Hippie!"

That boy Jai has turned us into a joke...

That's just how people are.

Look at some of my own friends...

They love discussing

other peoples' problems.

I'm having a 'Mata ki Ohowki' next month.

God's given us just one daughter...

Atleast now he should be kind.

He was being kind.

Let me tell you Naina...

Noorie is meant to find

a better boy than Jai.

Believe me.

Dinner was great, haan?

Did you try the prawns?

They were fantastic!

Did you notice...

Noorie and Kabir were really bonding.

Did Naina say anything to you?

Relax...

It's just been a day.

Yes.

Just one day...

But it's been 30 years for us.

How time has flown...

Why are you acting?

No one is watching.

Okay...

Everyone is saying how well

you planned this cruise.

Oongratulations.

Your name should've been on that card.

Why don't you ever say anything?

Please...

Just order yourself another one...

Why do you always eat from my bowl?

Because you always get so irritated.

Makes it more tasty!

By the way...

Jamaal uncle is super impressed

with your Forbes article.

Really Aysh...

What you have done with your company...

I could never do it.

Of course you can.

And anyway...

no one except Jamaal Uncle cares what I do.

Everyone just wants me to have a baby.

Ya, so that will happen too.

It won't...

I'm on the pill.

If you tell anyone I

swear to god I'll kill you.

You know that right?

Manav doesn't know?

Hello, Kabir...

Big man!

Hi...

Uff!

Look where your dog is sitting.

Pluto shoo...

Shoo...

Shoo...

Pluto off.

O'mon... Let's go for a swim.

How can you allow him on the bed?

It's disgusting...

Divorce! Divorce! Divorce!

Bye, Kabir.

Look at this dog hair...

We are living in a kennel.

Here we go...

A new story beglns.

Thls Is called love at flrst slght.

What Is love at flrst slght?

You see someone,

a chemlcal reactlon Is

trlggered In the braln,

blood rushes faster through the velns,

a tlngllng sensatlon

passes through the body...

So your heartbeat Increases.

It's not vlslble,

but the two of them are

experlenclng all thls rlght now.

Look at that...

When he comes here,

she goes there.

Even we play such

games In the beglnnlng.

At the start of a new love story,

one doesn't really need speech...

The eyes talk...

The body communlcates.

Nelther you nor I heard a thlng,

but these two just had a conversatlon.

Good Mornlngl Thls Is your Captaln speaklng.

We are approachlng the port of lzmlr

and as predlcted we shall arrlve at 9 am...

Please...

Oh no, please!

Go ahead.

You were here first...

Thank you.

You're welcome.

This Rana Khanna is so smart...

What are you are wearing?!

I just woke up.

- So? This is not your bedroom!

Look at Noorie...

You want me to dress like Noorie?

If you don't doll up, how

will you trap a nice boy?

That's what girls your age are meant to do.

What did she say?

Such a lovely colour you're wearing...

Listen, there's an

authentic Turkish Hamam here.

Do you want to come with us?

No.

I have asthma.

The steam makes

me...

I can't.

She even has asthma...

Now that college is over, Divya

what is your career plan?

I don't know...

I like some things, but...

Like what?

You like to sleep.

You could become a coma patient.

Hello, girls!

Sorry! I need to borrow

your sister for a minute...

What happened?

Saira Aunty just told me Amira is pregnant.

That's great!

It's IVF...

We should also try it.

Speak to Saira aunty.

Let's meet Amira's doctor

as soon as we go back.

Okay?

- Yes.

We have to do this Aysh.

Yes... Okay.

Mama.

Hmm...

Why didn't you divorce Papa?

What kind of question is this?

Look...

I know what all he's done.

Every marriage has problems.

If not an affair, then something else...

Doesn't mean you throw up your hands

and leave.

But why not?

Because that is too easy.

Staying together and solving

problems is difficult,

But also the right thing to do.

Marriage is not a race

you have to finish.

If someone is not

happy then why can't -

What is the matter with you?

Did you have a fight with Manav?

Not a fight, but we aren't-

Ayesha, I don't want to hear it!

Manav is a good man.

He's doing very well for himself.

You'll always have

everything you want.

Have everything I want?

If that's the case why didn't you

marry me off to a mall?

Have you gone crazy?

Just because your

company is doing well

don't let it go to your head.

Forget about your career,

focus on your home.

We anlmals also traln our young.

A lloness teaches her cubs to hunt.

A plgeon teaches her squabs to fly.

But once they've grown up,

they are on thelr own.

Indlan parents somehow can't accept

that thelr offsprlng

are capable enough

to llve llfe on thelr own terms.

Kabir.

Yes.

I've booked a table at the

night club for you kids.

Sweet.

Please invite Noorie also.

Please.

They remaln Involved In

thelr chlldren's llves

way longer than requlred.

Are you going like this

or will you wear some clothes?

Where is your jacket?

If one thlnks wearlng a

jacket wlll solve the problem,

they are sadly mlstaken.

Take off your jacket.

Mom, please!

What please?

Atleast wear some lipstick.

Wanted or not,

the tralnlng never stops.
