Kunal and I are together.

Yes, I can see that.

No, I mean...

...we're with each other...

you know...

What are you saying?

I don't understand.

Kunal is a special friend of mine.

My most special friend.

Yes, now I understand.

Today's friendship day.

Happy friendship day.

Happy friendship day.

We're gay. He's my boyfriend.

Oh God! Oh, my God!

Relax. Relax. Don't worry.

- Relax, sit down.

- Relax. Sit. Sit...

Relax, aunty.

We're telling you this so that you

think carefully before deciding.

Exactly. And if there are two

girls staying here instead of us...

...then just think about

what could possibly happen.

They'd bring their

boyfriends here at night...

...and then there would be parties,

cigarettes, booze, fooling around...

Oh, my God!

Yes. But if there

are two guys like us...

...then there's no

question of a third person...

...because we're already

together and will always be.

Isn't it, Kunal?

Moreover, as you said,

there's the security angle too.

If two guys like us, strong and fit...

...stay with you, then you'll

hae security too. Isn't it?

Plus aunty, who pays

attention to age these days?

You live alone in such a big house,

anything can happen...

Why are you scaring me?

Anyway, I don't stay here.

Neha stays here.

Neha?

Yes, my niece.

- Girl?

- Sister's?

- Sit quietly over here.

I'll be right back. - Okay.

Dude...

What's this twist in the story?

Where did her sister's...

Neha crop up from?

Okay. I'm going.

Going? Wait, sit down.

You talk about leaving at the

slightest. Just wait. Let me think.

Got it. Listen.

I guess we'll have to tell Neha

the same thing that we told aunty.

Are you crazy?

One by one. Do you want to

tell eerybody that we both are...

That we're gay.

Kunal, you're such a...

Think about it.

If the aunt is like this,

then how do you think Neha will be?

If I had my way...

...then I'd say this to aunty's entire

family let alone Neha.

Hi.

How can I help you?

Neha dear, it's good that you came.

These two boys have come

to check out the house.

Aunty, they...

I know they're boys.

Hey, tall guy! What's your name?

Sameer.

And what's your name?

Hi, I'm Kunal.

Hi, Neha.

- Sameer, just a moment.

Could you excuse us? - Sure.

Wow!

Enough, let's go.

What? Why?

Aunty, how can I stay with two guys?

Don't worry.

They both aren't what we are.

What? Sindhi?

Not Sindhi.

They both are modern boys.

I can't pretend to be gay in

front of a girl like that.

Okay, no problem. Don't be gay,

be homeless instead.

- No problem.

- They're boyfriend and girlfriend.

Oh, gay!

I won't stay in this house with

that girl, pretending to be gay.

It's over. I'm going.

Kunal, wait. Just wait. Calm down.

It wasn't like this in the old days.

In our days guys used to like girls.

How sweet!

Talk to Neha at least once.

Who knows? Maybe only

the aunt requires girls!

Yes, okay. I'm going.

Kunal, just wait. Kunal...

Hi!

Nice room.

- Yes, I thought I'll

show you the room. - Sure.

- You've already seen this.

I hope you like it. - Sure.

There are two rooms.

There's another one over there.

But there's only one bathroom.

It's connected.

Wow! Actually, we both

like sharing bathrooms.

That way...

Nice.

Very nice.

Sorry, this way.

So this is the bathroom.

What's the rent?

2,000 for each room.

But since you guys are the first

you can decide which one you want.

- Personally, I love this room.

- What do you mean 'which' room?

Both of you will share a room,

right?

What?

- Kunal...

- Shut up! Just shut up!

We'll not share a room.

It'll just be more expensive

for you. Two rooms, that's 4,000!

- Yes, Kunal. Neha is right.

- Yes!

- It'll be expensive.

- Okay, we'll find another place.

No, no. Cute.

I love it when he jokes.

So sweet! Neha,

actually, we'll take both rooms.

It'll be easier for you too.

I mean you don't have to

look for another tenant.

- Cool with me.

- Yes!

- Any questions?

- No, no.

Are you single?

Look at the terrace.

It's beautiful.

The light is clear. Nice. Show me.

- Do you want to see it?

- Show me.

Sort it out with her.

I'll sort it out with her.

Will you stop doing this?

- Whats single?

- Just go and talk to her.

- Shut up

- Just keep aunty a way.

Wow! A pool.

But listen... huge apartment...

didn't think when I bought

it and now the bank loan...

Neha, this whole gay thing.

You're cool with it, right?

Because you know,

what difference does it make...

You know, who's

straight and who's gay...

Yes, absolutely!

I mean, it's your personal choice.

- To each their own.

- Right, right. Thank you.

- Gay rights.

- Yeah! Yeah!

- Because your aunt had

scared us a bit... - Aunt?

- Yes, your aunt. She's very scary.

- Don't worry about her.

No, no. You'll get used to it.

Yes, I hope so because

when we came she was like...

We don't want boys. We want girls...

So you know, we both

were just wondering...

...that if she's the only one

who has a problem with boys...

...or do you also feel like that?

Well, I didn't think

that I'd be with boys...

Sam!

Hey! What are you doing here?

All this isn't allowed here.

Stand straight.

What are you doing?

What?

What do you do professionally?

Well, I'm a photographer.

Will you click pictures if I model?

Hey, tall fellow!

Why are you laughing?

What do you do?

I'm a nurse.

Nurse?! Nurse, do they make

you wear short skirts too?

Since when have the

two of you been a couple?

Well, three years.

Three years?

- Wow!

- That's a really long time.

Very good. Very good.

Tell me your love story.

Love story?

Where did the two of you

meet for the first time?

We?

We...

We... we...

Go on, tell us.

Don't be shy.

No, we met in Venice.

Venice!

I met Kunal in Venice the first time.

In that very first meeting,

Kunal showed me a thousand dreams.

I felt as if I was standing

and the ground below was moving.

My heart beat faster.

I gasped for breath...

Is this my first love?

For the next few days,

fate made us bump into each other.

At times here, at times there...

...and finally I gathered the

courage and said something to him.

Why are you following me around?

Alas! Why didn't my

tongue shred to pieces?!

He left so suddenly that

I never saw him after that.

I searched a lot for him.

I didn't even know his

name to call out to him!

Dearest, beloved, my darling?

But he was nowhere to be found.

Tired and defeated,

I returned to my hotel.

There was a letter waiting for me.

My first love letter in

which it was written...

"At the seashore,

my heart calls out to you..." Oh!

I immediately wore my new Gucci

shoes with my Armani jacket...

...and set off towards my destiny.

Kunal was on the

other side of the sea.

My legs trembled as

I moved towards him.

Bathed in the moonlight,

with a rose clenched...

...between his teeth, Kunal.

Kunal...

And then a sigh escaped

his soft lips.

What a wonderful story!

It was beautiful.

That's so sweet.

I think I'm going to cry.
