I don't know why...

but I could connect with her.

She was the only one...

who spoke to me in Hindi.

It felt... like it rained in a desert!

Actually, Riya...

I feel out of place here.

Here...

Some of the suits I saw here are worth

more than my mom's school budget

for an entire year.

No matter how hard I try, Riya,

I'll never be able to fit

into your glamorous life.

This might be a part of my life,

but it's not me.

These things won't make

a difference in our life.

Our life?

What are you talking about?

I'm just a friend

with whom you play basketball.

I thought our relationship

was way past friendship.

Riya, I had never kissed a girl before.

I'm going to ask you a question.

Please be honest.

What am I to you?

Who am I in your life?

What's our relationship?

Riya, I'm deep into this relationship...

...but today, I feel as if...

...you're not even halfway there.

You haven't taken it seriously yet.

I'll be leaving now.

Madhav.

Yes.

I'm not your girlfriend.

But...

I can meet you halfway.

Aren't you from Simrao?

-Will you get me kicked out for that?

-Not at all, sir.

I could figure it out,

but I didn't have the guts to ask you.

Hey, Murari.

-Sir...

-Greetings, sir!

-Greetings.

-He's the Prince of Simrao.

He's our prince.

I'll click a selfie and send it to him,

he'll be very happy.

Let's take a selfie.

He gifted her a solitaire.

But I'm a prince from Bihar.

For the first time, I was proud of

being the Prince of Simrao.

Where did you spend your night?

Where did you spend your night?

You got involved with a beauty!

Where did you spend your night?

Tell me

He was humiliated

and you are celebrating!

The servants over there made

him feel special, not Riya!

He was humiliated and you're

encouraging his foolishness.

Fine. I'll step down.

The ultimate pessimist

has something to say.

You have no self-respect!

Let me tell you something.

Listen to me carefully.

I googled Ronak Chandak

whom you met at the party.

He's the owner of the biggest chain

of hotels in the UK.

-So what?

-Just tell me something.

Will Riya's parents choose you over Rohan,

who can't speak a word of English?

A word of English!

-Do you know what Riya told me today?

-What did she say?

Riya said that she's my half girlfriend.

Half girlfriend!

Half girlfriend? Which half?

-Wow! She's playing with words now.

-Calm down.

She's so cunning!

That doesn't mean anything.

-Don't say anything against Riya.

-Why shouldn't I?

What does she mean by half girlfriend?

Either she is your girlfriend,

or she isn't. That's it.

What does it mean by half?

You take her around Delhi

and play her guide.

You teach her basketball.

You do everything

and yet you get half the rights!

You must understand she considers you

more than a friend,

but less than a boyfriend.

You're just her plaything.

That's all.

He loves getting humiliated.

I was speechless at the time.

I couldn't ask her much.

She has you wrapped around

her little finger.

Madhav, where I come from,

there's only one way to find out...

...whether a girl likes you or not.

-What is it?

-Are you a kid?

Ask her to come to your room.

To my room!

All right. I'll do that. What then?

Oh, come on!

Go on! Make it possible!

Hail Madhav Jha!

-What's wrong?

-I have a splitting headache.

No problem, we'll play later.

I have class at 4 p.m.

and I can't miss it.

Or I would have left for home by now.

If you wish...

...you can rest in my room.

I'll do my homework

and you can get some rest.

Get lost!

Are you asleep?

Yes.

I'm sleepy as well.

I'm coming to bed.

I thought you were sleepy.

I thought you were sleepy.

Not anymore.

Me neither.

Riya!

Hold on, Riya.

You can't leave me like this!

You can't do this to me, Riya.

You said you're my half girlfriend,

-then how can you leave like this?

-Madhav!

Stay back.

Relationship is not defined by this.

It's not based on making out!

It's all right when you want to hug me.

It's all right when you want to kiss me.

But you label me as shameless

when I want to do the same.

-After all, I'm a human being, Riya.

-Madhav!

Sometimes you want this,

sometimes you want that!

What do you think of yourself?

If you wish to stay then stay,

or else leave!

Riya...

Madhav! Madhav!

Why don't you have faith in me?

Why don't you listen to my heart?

I am so lonely without you!

I hope you understand

What my heart feels right now

You do know

I'll not be able to survive without you

Then why do you stay away from me?

Only you

Are my passion!

Only you

Are my passion!

It's you, without whom

I'd never survive

Let us relive those evenings

Let us go back to those conversations

Let those restless moments be revived

Let my heart cry out in pain

I am not asking for more

Just give me a glimpse

Of the time we spent together

Please come close to me

This distance between us intimidates me

You do know

I'll not be able to survive without you

Then why do you stay away from me?

-It's you and only you...

-Riya, hear me out! Riya!

-You're my passion

-Riya, hear me out.

-It's you, without whom...

- Riya!

I'd never survive

It's you, without whom

I'd never survive

My love!

I'm happy accepting you

as my half girlfriend.

My life has become

so difficult without you!

That was so foolish of me!

-I've made a grave mistake...

-Madhav, I'm leaving.

Riya, you're just 19 years old!

I'll be 20 a few months

after my wedding.

4th of September... A Virgo.

I noted it down the day

you added me on Facebook.

That's why I came here to invite you.

Let's hope the closed eyes don't pray

Never to see the beloved again

Because you are present

In every prayer of mine

You are present...

But I know I have to walk away

Far away from your path

It will be impossible for me

But I will have to forget you

To the land devoid of love

Oh heart, take me to that place

Let your scent fade away

Which still lingers with me

I bid adieu to you!

Goodbye!

Why didn't you accept the placement?

I won't be able to live

in this city anymore.

Why does the heart not listen to me?

It's you and only you

Who's my passion

It's you and only you

You're the solace to my heart

It's you, without whom

I'd never survive

Dear.

It's been a year since you returned...

...but I think something happened

which is still bothering you.

What's wrong?

Please say something.

Mom.

Is it about a girl?

-No, it's not about a girl.

-Bye.

Mom... why don't we have

girl students in our school?

I agree

that in our area

the main reason

why girls don't go to school

is the lack of women's toilets.

Let's say even if a girl is educated,

what will she accomplish?

She'll finally get married...

...and settle down and look after family.

Am I not right?

Have some refreshment.

-Thank you.

-Ma'am, hold on a second.

Ma'am, I meant no offence.

There's a solution.

There's an American man.

What's his name?

Bill Gate.

Bill Gates.

Yes, the same. Bill Gates.
