What are you people doing?!

What are we doing?

Kabir, have you lost your mind?

Lost your mind?

They are made for each other!

You said the same thing about Manav and me

and now I want a divorce-

What did she say?

Oome here...

What are you doing?

Sunny is here.

Oh my god!

That's all I need...

What is going on, dude...

You are freaking me out.

I am freaking you out?

- Yes!

I am freaking you out!

And what are you doing?

Don't listen to them.

You don't know them.

Oan you forget them for a moment?

How can I?

They do everything

for their own benefit

Kabir!

Do you really want this marriage?

Do you really want this divorce?

Has Ayesha mentioned this to you before?

She said they are having problems.

What problems?

I don't know...

I didn't ask.

You didn't ask?

You didn't even ask?

Are you deaf?

I said what I had to.

Every marriage has problems.

No need to make it an issue, move on.

What great advice, Neelam.

She is moving on to a divorce.

If you know better, speak to her.

She is your daughter too.

Why do you keep telling me?

Should I ask Prem to talk to her?

They are quite close.

That's a brilliant idea!

Then he'll tell Indu and that radio

will broadcast it all over Delhi.

She just needs an

excuse to talk about me.

I think it's a fantastic idea!

Neelam ji will be really happy, Sunny.

She's asked about you twice.

How long will you keep working, Papa?

What else will I do?

Retire...

I am here.

How can I just quit?

How would they feel.

They treat us like family.

Who takes their manager on a cruise?

Ayesha! Look...

The melodrama worked!

Yes...

Don't be too long.

They are waiting.

Hi...

Hi...

I thought you weren't coming.

Sorry to disappoint you.

No, not at all...

Good you came.

Amrish uncle was really missing you.

You are looking good.

Different.

Yeah...

Thanks!

Everything else okay?

Perfect.

And your husband...

Manav.

Manav.

Sorry... How is he?

He is amazing.

I've been very lucky, touchwood.

That's great.

Yes...

Oh my God!

It's Oaptain Sunny Gill!

It's Mr. Oaptain to you.

Mr. Oaptain Sunny Gill!

You never know who you'll run Into

when you turn a corner.

Sunny Glll.

There was a tlme when Sunny

and Ayesha were very close.

The best of frlends.

In fact, Sunny was the

one who gave me to Ayesha.

Those were the days.

Sunny, Ayesha and Kablr.

That was my whole world.

Then Sunny went far away.

Ayesha got marrled.

Her new famlly dldn't want me.

And I ended up wlth Kablr.

Today, once agaln,

we are all together...

and all I can hope for Is that

thls tlme It stays that way.

God bless you!

Big journalist you have become.

I try to read your articles,

but they are very depressing.

All this bloodshed, war...

Write some good news also!

I write in the hope that one day

the news will get better.

Neelu!

Just look at this...

That's beautiful!

It's from Egypt.

Beautiful... Thank you.

You are most welcome.

And also...

Thank you for the cheque.

Who pays back money these days.

That too with interest, Amrish saab!

I could never really repay you

for all you've done for me.

Oh ho! Oome here...

You're like our son.

Now go get ready.

Let's put our Punjabi livers to use!

Okay!

Bye, son!

Why did you take money from him?

He insisted, so I had to.

Why?

He is a good kid.

I am glad he is doing so well.

I always knew he has it in him.

I'm glad I sent him

to study in America.

You sent him to study?

As far as I can remember

you had another reason.

Neelam.

Sorry we are late.

Actually, we were

waiting for our friends.

They live here in Kusadasi.

Sandhya

Naren

Hi!

And this is Guler.

Oh yes.

Guler.

Hello...

Hi!

Guler.

Gyuler.

Gyuler...

That's better.

Shall we?

Where is Noorie?

Don't ask!

You know how these kids are.

She has left us

and gone out with their son Kabir.

Mom!

Don't worry about Manav & me...

We're fine.

I don't know why I said all that.

Good.

I think I was really upset and-

Not now, Ayesha.

We'll talk later.

Smita Ji...

Manav...

Namaste.

He is a journalist.

He writes for The Geographic.

It's very big paper...

You must be reading it?

Papa...

Please.

That's okay...

Let him show off, it's only fair.

Better if he did it behind my back.

Hi.

Hi.

My wife, Ayesha.

They used to be best friends.

Used to be meaning?

Nothing...

He went away to America.

Where did you study, son?

Yale, aunty.

Oh!

My uncle used to read law there...

'68... maybe '69...

Will she hang it on the walls?

You can hang carpets

on the wall right?

I guess if you don't understand art

then you should hang carpets!

Excuse me.

That's an amazing story.

Thank you.

Thank you for listening.

Neelam...

Oome sit with us.

I am sure they'll

give us another chair.

No, I am good...

I am really good.

I just wanted to borrow

my husband for a minute...

Of course.

Darling

Do you have to do this

on our anniversary?

Why, what did I do?

Please don't embarrass me, Kamal.

You've been stuck to

that Guler like a leech.

Have you gone mad?

They are our guests.

I am just looking after them

and so should you.

You know Noorie and me are together?

So why did you propose to her?

Me?

Kamal uncle spoke to my parents.

Excuse me?

Your parents spoke to my dad-

Whatever, Kabir.

You could have said no.

No.

Because thanks to

Noorie, everyone thinks

she is in my room every night.

Thank you...

For keeping quiet.

But enough now.

We are not in school.

I don't care what our families think.

I care, baby.

Babies!

You guys really like each other.

Wow!

Your story is just

like Romeo and Juliet...

Warring families, tragic ending...

That was a bad space, man!

But what if I say...

That your story can

have a happy twist...

How?

By getting engaged to me.

Excuse me?

No, no... Wait. Hear me out...

Just for now.

Mom, Dad, Uncle,

Aunty, everyone happy!

Then...

A few months later...

I will dump you.

Great!

- Wait, wait...

Then...

You cry, shout, scream, pass out...

Try to kill yourself...

Sure!

Your parents will do

anything to save you.

Right?

Then...

You say...

"I want to be with Noorie."

That's it...

For your parents he will be like

a knight in shining armour!

It's genius!

And what about your parents?

What do you mean cancel the wedding?

The cards have been printed.

What do I do?

Noorie loves someone else.

Who?

She loves Rana.

Rana Khanna?

Because of their family

problems, she agreed-

This is ridiculous!

I'm going to call Naina right now.

It isn't Noorie's fault, Mom!

It's mine.

So stupid...

I did all this for the company.

But I really fell in love with her.

I just want her to be happy.

That's all I want.

Oh my baby...

Oh my child...

I made a big mistake.

What are we going to do, Papa?

You should sell the plane.

No...

No!

Absolutely not!

That's the least we can do for him.

You look very happy...

I am thinking about our bright future.

I've seen many make

promises on this ship.

But as soon as the journey ends...
