- I tell you.

You know, she always

compared herself to Shonali.

Mark my words, someday

she will lose it, just like Shonali.

- Bye... - Bye. I'll see you.

- Yes. - For dinner? - Yes.

- Manav, that was excellent.

- Thank you.

- We need a close up.

- Okay.

- Go to the rest room.

- Alright.

- Well, be back in half an hour.

- Sure. - Mahesh!

Set up a trolley.

Make it fast, come on.

You went through a lot in your life...

...but the good thing is

that you have come back.

Listen... don't worry.

Everything is going to be okay.

I am sorry, Manav.

I know I've hurt you a lot.

It's okay.

I'm really happy for you,

today you're in the big league.

- I am really happy...

- Well, hardly.

- Hi baby.

- Oh, hi.

Am I disturbing you?

No, no. Come in. That's fine.

- Meghna, that's Ria.

- Ria, that's Meghna.

- Hi... Nice to meet you.

- Hi.

She is my fiance.

We just got engaged last month.

I heard a lot about you.

Nice to meet you.

Thank you. I... I should go.

- No, no. Please...

- No, really.

Please stay for a while.

Some other time.

- Okay? Congratulations.

- Thanks. - Thanks.

It is said, the people you meet

on your way up to success...

...you encounter them again

on your way down.

It felt really weird.

The relations I left behind in

arrogance of my success...

...have left me and gone way ahead in life.

Everything had changed.

But thank God...

some relationships in life...

don't require an invitation for acceptance.

And this is going to be

your outfit for the show.

- Nice?

- Nice.

It's beautiful.

- Rohit... thank you.

- For what?

For giving me this opportunity.

I know that you didn't have to do it.

And everyone must have

advised you not to.

Who cares...

No one knows you like I do.

Look, if I could have my way,

you would be my show stopper.

But Meghna... the sponsors...

you know how it is.

I know... Rohit I know.

The fact that I'm even in

your show, means a lot.

After all, it is my first show

on comeback and...

Trust me... you are going to rock. Okay?

Hey, are you nervous.

Don't worry... want to drink?

No thanks.

"Some distance is...

... fighting loneliness."

"Is it love?"

"Is it trust?"

- Meghna...

- Hi.

Meghna, are you okay?

Yes, of course.

Look, don't worry.

You'll be absolutely fine. Okay?

Are you sure?

You are looking gorgeous.

- Sir.

- Yes... - Thanks.

Look, the show stopper has come.

I'll be back in a minute.

- Okay?

- Bye.

Hi, Fabiana. You just tell me,

my assistants are there to help you.

And let's go to the lounge,

yes. Okay, come.

Guess what? I had no clue

and I walked in and then...

...i was...

Okay girls, let's stand in order.

Meghna, you are not here.

You are after Brinal.

- Brinal, stand here...

- I am sorry.

Meghna... Sucheta...

Move... move.

"Something special."

Okay, listen.

Meena is the next girl, right?

Okay, tell her to come on the head

ramp and take Meghna away.

Listen, this is second

change for Meghna.

Just leave her,

I'll handle her.

Okay, just do the same.

I'll handle her.

Meghna, just relax, okay?

Meghna, just relax.

Meghna, it is alright. It happens.

It's alright?

I ruined everything, Janet.

I froze on the head ramp.

Do you even understand

what it means?

That means nothing at all.

It happens sometimes.

It doesn't happen, Rahul.

I don't think I have

it in me anymore.

Oh, come on,

Meghna.

You were nervous then, that's all.

I mean, you walked

the ramp after a year.

Meghnajust think,

how will your dad feel?

Meghna, relax...

you have to be very strong.

You have to believe in yourself.

You know how this industry works.

There is no room

for weakness.

Alright.

- Listen... isn't that Shonali?

- The model?

Just see.

Isn't that Shonali the model?

- How long have you been here?

- Shut up.

- Madam.

- Shut up!

Go away!

Madam, do you know anyone here?

Madam, please tell us.

Do you know anyone here.

People say that she has

been here for the last two days...

and isn't talking to anyone.

Shonali Gujral's distressing story...

highlights another truth

of the fashion industry.

It is evident...

that the profession isn't

as glamorous as it seems.

With cameraman Mahesh Pakhare...

...this is Umesh Kumawat

for Star News, Mumbai.

Listen, Inspector...

...instead of roaming

on the streets...

...instead of making a mockery

in front of the media...

...it is better that

we take her along.

Our NGO will

take good care of her.

Madam, it's a procedure.

Until her family members don't come...

And don't take her along or...

...she doesn't say anything.

We can't let you take her.

Madam, do you know her?

Yes, I do.

Meghna, it's a huge responsibility.

You yourself are struggling.

Can you afford to look

after her as well?

I haven't thought about it, Janet.

All I know is...

I'm not doing it for Shonali...

...but for myself.

I really need to do this.

Okay.

After bringing Shonali

home I realized...

...that our lives were quite similar.

Both of us had lost ourselves.

The happiness I achieved in helping...

...Shonali come back to a normal life...

was more important than the happiness

of professional success.

As she got better, I regained

the self confidence I had lost.

Listen, listen.

Breaking news.

My darling Rahul has bagged

the finale at the fashion week.

- Cheers.

- That's fantastic.

- Wow, Rahul. That's fantastic.

- Cheers.

- The biggest show ever.

- Thank you. Thank you.

In fact everything was

finalised yesterday.

Tie a line of top models

and a surprise show stopper.

Who is the show stopper?

Like Vinay Khosla's...

Rohit... you know in fact

she is the best right now.

Ms. Meghna Mathur.

Surprise!

Yeah.

Guys, I don't think that's

a good idea. I mean...

After what happened

at Rohit's show...

I don't think that's a good idea.

We've given this

a lot of thought.

I know you'll are doing this for me.

I mean, I really appreciate it.

I do, I am really grateful, but.

But... I... can't do your show Rahul.

I am sorry. I am sorry.

Why don't you want to do the show?

Please.

You do know how important

this show is for you, don't you?

Come on, Shonali.

You do know what happened

during Rohit's show?

This show is very

important for Rahul.

I can't let the same thing

happen to him too, you know.

Meghna, you aren't

worried for Rahul...

...but you're afraid of failing again.

Rahul has so much confidence in you...

...isn't it fair...

...to prove him right?

You can do it.

We have lost a lot here.

I know there's no hope for me.

- Shonali...

- But if this show helps you make a comeback...

It is worth the risk.

I have never interfered

in your decisions.

So why do it now?

Because, I am concerned.

To make Meghna the show

stopper for such an important show...

...it's foolishness!

And you know

what she did at Rohit's show.

I don't think she has

it in her, anymore.

Look Rahul,

try and understand.

The situation is different.
