Take it from Kaleem on your way out.

Move. - Yes.

Begum clenched her fist and it

was almost as if time stopped.

What was I being punished for?

Who had snuffed out all love

from this house?

Whose story were we reliving?

This smell of yours

will drive me crazy.

Enough! You

jin us now.

Now hurry up and

show some of your magic

or somebody will steal

this fragrance away.

Look at this emerald.

It'll look so lovely on you.

Lord, hovv beautiful!

Salman, hovv long are you here for?

Father wanted to stay, but

he had to leave for the elections.

I leave for London on Sunday

and from there to Islamabad.

I would like to take Hazrat to London

for the trousseau shopping.

Why don't you ask her yourself?

Hazrat is too much of a free bird.

Hovv long will we keep

meeting this way, Mufti?

Who all will we lie to?

I'm constantly worried

about getting caught.

Things are tough, I know.

But we cant give up hope.

Nobody can stop us

from getting married, Hazrat.

- Hazrat will understand and

appreciate our choices.

- Besides, she'll not be far away.

- We'll get her married, but

hovv will you manage without her?

- Salman will care for

her like a princess.

- We shouldn't delay

the marriage ceremony any more.

Mufti!

Mufti!

Take care of this.

Ticket.

I'll get water. You wait here.

Ecuse me, my wife is sitting there...

Please watch out for her,

I'll just go get some water.

Sure.

Mufti!

Mufti!

Hello.

What date is it today, Noor?

I need some more time, Leena

I'm working on it.

The auction is in three days.

Show me something.

I'll call you when

I have something to show.

Noor, it's one of

Delhi's top art events...

Why don't you answer it?

Somebody is really

desperate out there.

It's been growling all day long.

Don't talk nonsense.

Just help me out. It's stuck.

Who got stuck on you now?

\/Ir. Minister,

do I smell something burning?

For sure! Just look at you.

You're the prettiest girl

in the world tonight.

Someone's heart must

surely be burning.

Thank you, sire. That was

such a backhanded compliment.

Now shall we get about

the rest of the evening?

Everyone is waiting.

Boundaries can separate countries,

but they cant separate

our language, customs and traditions.

We live in each others hearts.

And it's time now to welcome

each other in our homes.

To embrace each

other vvhole-heartedly.

We enjoy your food,

you enjoy our ghazals.

The circle of bonhomie will

only prosper.

Just one last request.

It's been 25 years since

the cricket match...

please forgive Javed Ivliandad

for socking it to you.

- And that was Bilal Latif,

the young and dynamic minister

- from Pakistan speaking at the

lndo-Pak cultural summit - Roots.

Please sit.

Father...

\/Ir. Shaikh, looking very good.

Looks like India has grown on you.

Hovv are you, my dear?

I'm fine.

Mother wants to speak to you.

Hazrat! This is not done.

You shoulcfve come.

We've shut down parliament

to come here... and you...

Hovv many times will you disappoint me?

When will I get a chance to host you?

Salman, you are our guests.

In fact, we are the ones

who must do the hosting.

No one can win with

you in words, Hazrat.

Anyway, we shall settle with

your dearest jewel.

Our Firdaus is looking like an angel.

We should not delay

the marriage ceremony any more.

Three crores in the center of the room

with the gentleman...

we have Shahzia Sikandas

The World is Yours, The World is Mine

at three crores.

Fair warning, if we are all done,

I will sell.

And... sold!

May I have your paddle number, sir?

Slow down. We're up net.

And now, ladies and gentlemen

moving on to our net lot.

Lot number 21, is by a new

upcoming Indian artist.

His name is Noor Nizami.

And the artwork is titled Scar Tissue.

I'll open the bidding at 17 lakhs.

Seventeen lakhs, ladies and gentlemen.

Do I have any bids at 17 lakhs?

Seventeen lakhs...

Fair warning... 17...

Eighteen lakhs... we have

18 lakhs on my left.

We are at 18 lakhs,

ladies and gentlemen...

Anymore at 18 lakhs?

Fair warning... I will sell.

And... sold!

To the gentleman on my left

at 18 lakhs.

That brings us to the end of our auction,

ladies and gentlemen.

Thank you all so much

for your generosity.

And now I would like to introduce

our net act for the evening

we have a performance

by a duet from India and Pakistan

Will you just excuse me for a minute?

- A warm welcome to you all

- to the lndo-Pak Summit - Roots.

- And now I present to you

the evening's special performance

- dedicated to the people

of both our countries.

Let there be an expression of love

There's love buried

deep within the heart

The heart beats alone

Alone

Heart to heart

Let there be an expression of love

Let there be an expression of love

Buried deep within the heart

The heart beats alone

Alone

What's happened, Firdaus?

Don't you have anything to say to me?

I've said what I had to, Noor.

I love you.

Don't be childish, Noor.

You hardly know me.

We were destined for just this much.

Please let's just be grateful

for what we had.

ls this like some dole you handed out?

I love you, don't you get it?

But I don't, Noor.

I can't love like this.

What do you want?

That I leave all this?

Come with you on your houseboat?

What will happen then?

Have you thought about it?

Have you thought

about anything at all?

You are too much, Noor.

I'm getting engaged in two days.

Bilal will keep me happy.

We've been friends for years.

We understand each other.

And I can't let a

stupid mistake ruin this.

What about love, Firdaus?

Or is money everything?

You know no one

can love you like I can.

I don't want so much madness, Noor.

And it's not about money.

Marriage is between equals.

Families are involved.

You won't understand.

You won't understand anything

besides your love.

Why are you lying

to yourself, Firdaus?

I have to go now.

I can't be missing for so long.

Please, Firdaus.

Why are we standing so far away

From each other?

In your breath

And in mine

We breath the same air

I Will die

Dont leave me so

Let there be an expression of love

There's love buried

deep within the heart

The heart beats alone

Alone

Arif. - Yes?

Heart to heart

Let there be an expression of love

Noor...

That's enough.

Let's get out of here.

No. Not yet.

In a bit.

Noor, we've spent too much time here.

Let's go somewhere else.

Hang on.

I'll just go meet Firdaus and come.

Noor...

Let her go.

Which part of this

don't you understand?

It's not that she lied to you.

I know... I know...

but these people are like this.

She is the Begum's daughter after all.

They don't care for anyone.

They will swallow you whole

and you won't even know it.

Get out of all this.

Don't screw up your career.

You've been a good friend.

never forget that.

Now go home.

Don't give me your advice.

You can go shove it.

To hell with you,

your Leena and my future.

Bro, give me a drink.
