Hi Gippi, we knew you'd come.

- Let's go.

No.

No!

Guys! lsn't this cool?

No!!

Absolutely no milkshakes.

Only green tea.

Oh my God, me?!

l can't believe this!

This is like a dream come true!

Thank you! Thank you!

l would Just like to thank...

- GlPPPllll!

Yeah, Mummy?

Wow, you look like a movie star!

- Thank you.

Yeah, didi. You look hot!

l better look hot.

l haven't eaten in days.

Stop dieting now.

l've made your

favorite samosas today.

But why?

You know l still have to lose 5 kgs.

Don't worry, Mummy.

l'll eat them all.

Bye! All the best!

Good luck! l'll pray for you!

l got you a gift.

Junglee Hits?

Thank you!

l thought our first

dance together...

...should be to your

favorite Shammi Kapoor's song.

Choose one.

Didn't you like the gift?

No, l love it.

But... Kabir...

l shouldn't do these

stupid dances anymore.

Doesn't suit a Head Girl.

- Seriously?

No, but l love all these songs!

Tumne muJhe dekhaaa...

Are you going to

be like this next year?

What do you mean?

- You're already changed so much...

And you haven't even

won the election yet.

Do you want me to always

be a laughingstock?

Gippi, they were laughing with you,

not at you.

That's why they voted for you.

Look at yourself.

These shoes, this dress.

What have you done to your hair?

Do you know who you remind me of?

Shamira.

So, what's wrong

with looking like her?

Well, congratulations.

Mission accomplished.

What's wrong, Shamira?

What do you think?

You're going to win tonight.

You know it.

l know it. Everyone knows it.

And you also know that you

have done nothing to deserve it.

And what have you done?

Besides humiliating

everyone around you?

Oh really?

You think that's all l've done?

Do you know that l

wake up at 5am everyday?

l take morning classes

to keep my grades up!

And then at school,

while you sit around gossiping...

... l manage clubs,

practice sports, hold conferences...

l don't get a single moment off.

My hair has to be perfect.

My skin has to be perfect.

Even my goddamn socks

need to be perfect.

Do you know,

l haven't had icecream in 3 years?

And you're going

to become Head Girl now?.

Without doing any of this?

Do you even know what

being a Head Girl means?

Hi Gippi!

- Where were you?

Gorgeous dress!

Have you guys seen Anchal?

Oh my God! She's wearing the

most ridiculous dress! Come, come!

Wow, Gippi.

You look so beautiful tonight.

Wish we could say the same for you!

A Head Girl can't be

seen with someone like that!

ls that your grandma's dress?

lsn't it hideous?

Guys, l think she looks great!

- She obviously needs help.

Tell her to go change, Gippi.

Maybe she'll listen to you.

Gippi... Say something...

Children, children, children!

lt gives me great Joy to see you

all looking so beautiful and happy.

Merry Christmas, all of you!

- Merry Christmas!

lt's time for election results!

May the current Head Girl

and Boy come on stage please.

Ladies first.

The new Head Girl of St.

Mary's Convent is...

Gurpreet Kaur!

Gurpreet, my child, please come

up on stage and take your badge.

Congratulations!

- Thank you, Ma'am.

Oh sh*t. l actually won.

Actually, l wasn't interested

in this election at all.

l signed up for it only because

Shamira challenged me to.

l Just wanted to show her that a

girl like me can also win something.

l want to thank everyone

who helped me win this election.

My mother,

who has always inspired me.

My brother,

who supports me in everything l do.

And my best friend Anchal, who...

Hi!

Who...

Has always been there for me,

unconditionally.

And who l was going to insult

publicly, before this announcement.

l'm so sorry, Anchal.

How could l be such an ass?

l can never become Shamira.

And you know what?

l don't even want to!

l don't want to stand

here and give a speech.

l want to sit in the corner

with Anchal and crack stupid Jokes.

l want to take this uncomfortable

dress off and put paJamas on.

l don't want green tea!

l want my Mummy's samosas!

l want to do silly Shammi

Kapoor dances with Kabir.

l'm really sorry guys,

if l'm letting you down.

lf you ever need a friend,

l'm always here.

But for now... Sister, may l

please step back from the election?

There. Go.

Are you serious?

- Yeah, dude! Go!

But, on one condition.

Promise me that

you'll never be mean to me again.

l can't promise anything,

but l'll try.

Great.

- Great.

Good evening, ladies and gentlemen!

You wanna go to the after party?

This party is so over.
