But learn to keep your personal life

apart from your professional life.

Really?

Tell me something, Abhi.

What about our relationship...

...is it personal or professional?

Don't worry.

You don't have to answer that.

It is time to get truly

professional Mr. Sarin.

- Yes... - Had you been to his last season?

- No, I haven't, but I...

I am telling you, the food should...

- No thank you.

- Yes, she is very charming.

- I will.

- Cheers.

That's not fair.

- Lovely!

- Exactly.

- Hey, I'll be right back.

- Sure.

How I managed to put this show together.

- It was hell...

- Whatever, third big launch of the year.

Thank you very much.

- Tony...

- Hi.

Congratulations.

I am so sorry I came late.

No, it's alright. You made it at least.

- Cheers.

- Bye.

- Excuse me.

- Yes. - See you.

Johnny, hi.

- Hi Meghna.

- Abhi...

I think you have taken

my words too seriously.

You have become so professional...

...that you are uneasy greeting me.

Behave yourself. You are drunk.

I am drunk?

- Hello, Meghna.

- Mrs. Sarin.

So, how are you now?

I saw all that drama on television.

What happened?

You look so stressed out.

Didn't you tell her?

Actually, I wasn't well.

I was in a clinic.

I had an abortion.

Abhi will give you the details.

After all... he paid the bills.

Oh! She got offended.

I'm telling you again Meghna,

it's still not too late.

Avantika is very upset...

...but I think we can handle it.

Just meet her once and apologise.

If she forgives you,

everything will be sorted.

I should apologise to her?

Are you kidding me?

Who is she, Anisha?

Just some lousy trophy wife...

I don't need her.

Of course, you need her, Meghna.

You're in this position due to Panache.

You are signing brands courtesy of Panache.

You need them!

Wrong, Anisha.

I am the freaking face of Panache.

I don't need Panache,

Panache needs me. Okay?

Anything else?

- Yes.

- What the hell is going on, Anisha?

- Where the hell have you been?

- Shut up!

I just read the paper.

Come on, Meghna.

This had to happen.

I told you so.

Oh, cut the crap, Anisha.

Gauri Anand is from your agency.

I've been replaced.

Don't be such a lousy woman.

There's no need to get personal, Meghna.

Personal? I can't believe you did this to me.

Aren't you ashamed of yourself?

When we replaced Shonali...

...you didn't ask me this.

I really think you should...

The sound of a shattered

dream never hurts...

...as much as it's lasting echo.

My career started falling

like a pack of cards...

...and I stood there,

a mere spectator.

Everything changed...

home, relationships...

...and along with them I changed too.

Commitments, sincerity, professionalism...

I ran away from all of them...

...and reached a place so loud...

...that I couldn't even hear myself.

What I was doing, why I was doing it...

I had no clue at all.

Shonali was right,

I couldn't even recognize myself.

Go easy, Meghna.

You've had a lot to drink.

You're saying that, Janet!

Look, I don't know how to lecture.

But I can say this much,

you're ruining yourself.

You are right.

You don't know how to lecture,

so please don't try.

Meghna, everyone I meet is

talking about your arrogance.

It is not arrogance,

baby. It is attitude.

It's important to have an

attitude to be successful.

- Okay?

- Oh, really?

What about unprofessionalism?

Is that necessary too?

Listen, if you continue to...

...behave like this no one

will want to work with you.

Unprofessional?

Did you just call me

unprofessional, Janet?

What do you know

about professionalism?

You don't become a model by doing

a couple of small assignments.

Listen... I know I didn't make it big.

But I have spent more time in this industry.

I know why your reputation is getting ruined.

That's why I'm telling you...

...straighten up before everything crumbles.

Straighten up?

How?

Should I beg Sarin or Anisha?

I know what I can do.

I should marry a rich gay designer like you.

How about that?

Leave. Just leave.

- Hey.

- Hi babes. Where are you?

We all are waiting for you.

Come to Dhiren's party fast now.

Yes, I'll be there.

- Give me 20 minutes.

- Okay.

"Charm."

"Charm."

"It's the charm of the body."

"It's the charm of the body."

"It's the ladder to success."

"Charm."

"It's the charm of fashion."

"It's intoxicating."

"Charm. It's the charm of the body."

"Here love is on fire."

"Charm."

"Charm. It's the charm of fashion."

"Charm."

"It's the charm of fashion."

"It keeps asking. It's amazing."

"No one could undo it."

"This charm. Heavens bow to the earth."

"This charm."

"It sparks fire in the heart."

"This charm."

"It's the charm of fashion."

"This charm. It's the charm of fashion."

"Charm."

Meghna...

Dear...

We become totally isolated...

...when we lose our own company.

I came back home to Chandigarh...

...but I could never be myself.

Leaving all my relationships behind...

I descended into my inner darkness.

I neither felt happy nor sad.

The psychiatrist advised...

...that nothing is possible until...

I rediscover myself and

my inner self confidence.

But as easy as it is to lose oneself...

...it is even more difficult to forgive oneself...

...to find oneself again.

Have you heard anything about Shonali?

I heard that she's run away from rehab.

No one knows her whereabouts.

Yes, that's really sad.

Hey Rahul.

Who is your show stopper for the Delhi show?

I heard thatjust like Vinay Khosla,

you too have roped in a film star.

No, no. I like film stars.

But if there was a model...

- ...for a show stopper for this show... that's best.

- Yes.

You know I... really miss a good model.

- Like Shonali...

- And, Meghna.

Meghna.

Dear...

...the one who loses...

...isn't the one who falls.

But a failure is one...

...who still doesn't rise to the occasion.

My daughter is not a loser.

I'm sorry, my dear.

It was my fault that I...

...didn't trust my daughter's dream...

- ...and how high it could take her.

- Papa...

I had trust in my daughter...

...and I still do.

Go ahead, pursue your dream again.

Yes, my dear.

Go back, my dear.

You will achieve success.

Yes, dear.

Go dear, go back.

Thought I'd come and apologise.

But I can't.

Look Janet, I know I really hurt you.

I was wrong.

But when I decided to come back...

I couldn't think of anyone else but you.

So, I came right here.

I did the right thing, didn't I, Janet?

Welcome back.

I am so sorry.

So, you know what... I've now

specifically told all the actors...

You may borrow clothes for

a function, but do return them.

Yes, you know theyjust...

Typical.

Oh my God. Oh my God... listen, listen.

Guess, who is back in town.

Meghna Mathur.

- Wow...

- Back from the dead or what?

Hi Vinay, I am back in town.

I would like to meet you.

Please, let me know

when I can call you.

Spare me the horror.

Who wants to speak to her?

- Guess what?

- What?

Same message.

She's sent it to everyone.

- Desperate.
