Because you fought all the time.

And do you know why we fought?

No.

Because your father was

ashamed to have me as his wife.

He wanted a beautiful,

smart, classy wife.

Not a small-town,

unsophisticated woman like me.

Really?

- He used to be after me everyday.

'Dress properly! Learn how to talk!

Stop embarrassing me!'

One day,

l got tired of this humiliation.

l told him to divorce

me if he hated me so much.

And he actually did it?

lt seemed like he had

been waiting for that day.

l never thought Papa

could be like that.

lt's very difficult to find a man...

...who knows all your flaws,

and still loves you.

When he called that day,

l got scared.

You'll have a new mother now.

Beautiful,

young, must be stylish too...

So that's what it is!

Do you think that Jennifer

is better than you?

She's nothing compared to you!

She's really dumb and boring!

And l think she's

losing her hair too!

She'll be bald in no time!

We can't stand her!

So, l have nothing to fear then?

Not at all.

As you all know, the new Head Boy

and Girl elections are very near.

So let's meet the candidates.

Ladies first.

Thank you guys, thank you so much.

As you already know,

l'm Shamira Chauhan...

...and l want to become

your next Head Girl.

l hate talking about

myself like this...

... but it's important to

know your candidates right?

Well, l've been class

prefect for 3 years.

l'm president of the sports club,

and captain of the basketball team.

l've won 2 medals for mathematics,

4 for history and 7 for science.

And, of course,

l represented our school..

..at the Bourn vita

Quiz Contest on Zee TV.

l'm sure you want a Head Girl

who excels in every sphere...

...and who will bring

glory to our school.

Thank you and

l'll see you at the elections.

Come, my child.

Hi everyone...

My name is Gurpreet Kaur.

Everyone calls me Gippi.

You can call me Gippi too.

l think l should become the

next Head Girl because l'm fun...

And funny...

And l suck at speeches so

l've prepared something for you.

lf everybody could

clear the stage please?

Didi!

Didi!

Gurpreet Kaur, ladies and gentlemen.

Oops, sorry. ''Gippi''.

She was right,

she really is very funny.

And the funniest thing is that she

thinks she can win this election.

Wow, hilarious!

Why do we even try?

l'm done. l was stupid

to think l could beat her.

What are you doing here?

- l...

lf you're here to make fun of me,

then please go away.

Why do you always

think that about me?

You're always with

that Shamira, so...

l know.

But l don't want to be with

her anymore. l want to be with you.

What are you talking about?

l like you, Gippi.

l want you to win this election.

But... why?

Remember when you fell off your

chair on the first day of class?

Yeah...

Do you know what

l told Shamira that day?

That girl is such a loser?

No! l told her that l used to do

that in my old school all the time.

Were you a loser in your old school?

No, l was Just... a regular guy.

l guess boys' schools are different.

Here they make such a

big deal out of everything.

l wish l were a boy.

- No, l like that you're a girl.

Anyway, don't give up now, Gippi.

You can win this election.

Excuse me, Sister.

- Yes?

May l?

- Sure!

Hi everyone.

l Just wanted to finish

my introduction properly.

l'm Gippi.

l don't have any

medals or certificates.

l suck at studies

and l can't play any sport.

l can only do one thing well,

and that's dance!

But you saw that for yourself,

didn't you?

And, let's admit it.

Most of you are like me.

We're not great at studies,

we hate sports.

We think we're fat or ugly or stupid

and that everyone is better than us.

But trust me, it's not like that.

We're all the same.

So, if you want your Head

Girl to be some great achiever,

then vote for Shamira.

But if you want your Head Girl

to be like you, then vote for Gippi!

The male reproductive

organ is called the penis.

lt is supported by

a pair of testicles.

Silence class, silence!

The testicles are...

- Excuse me, Ma'am.

Yes?

Ma'am today is my birthday.

l came to give you toffees.

Oh, so sweet. Please come in.

Happy birthday to you.

Class please wish

her happy birthday.

Happy Birthday!

So where were we?

Ah! Testicles.

Namaste.

Why aren't you eating

anything, Booboo?

l've been waiting for

the chicken tikka forever!

Sh*t!

What's wrong?

- He's here!

Who?

- ArJun!

So what?

Let's leave, Mummy.

l don't want to meet him!

l'm sitting at my ex-husband's

wedding and you want to leave?

Shut up and sit tight.

How are you, Pappi?

- Good, thanks.

l've had enough!

Of what?

- Don't move!

Gippi?

Papa?

- Hi love, have you eaten yet?

We're not here to eat, Papa!

Don't you think you

should go talk to Mummy?

lt wasn't easy for her to come here.

We need to talk.

Whenever l run into you,

or think of you, l feel like sh*t.

l...

No, it's not your fault.

l mean, you were kind of aJerk...

... but l also acted

like a silly girl.

l...

So, l Just wanted to say

that l'm over it. We're cool now.

You're different. l like it.

l know, l like it too.

So, now that we're friends,

do you wanna hang out some time?

Why don't you try finding

girls your own age?

Here's my Gippo!

Where did you run off to?

l thought l'd give

you guys a moment alone.

l see.

She looks Just like you, Pappi.

Just this round little

nose is like mine.

Go call our little dumpling.

lt's time for a family photograph!

Smile everyone!

What a beautiful family!

Hmm.
