Ashfaaq, I don't want to hear

anything... my word is final...

...you will have to enact this play.

I won't do it.

Siddhu sir is your guru.

But I am not Eklavya that

I will cut off my thumb.

I have attained this name and

fame with a lot of hard work.

I cannot lose it all

with a small controversy.

You always forget that you

are not the father of Ashfaaq...

...you are Sameer Khan's father.

Papa, are grandparents going?

Where.

- To their house.

Grandma was crying papa...

...she was saying that

they will never return.

Papa, are you crying?

Come here.

Who is your papa?

- Superman.

Does Superman ever cry?

- I don't know.

Yes son, he cries sometimes.

Rohit...

Breakfast is ready, go

and have it quickly.

Did Rohit tell you?

- Didn't you stop them?

What do you think, I didn't try?

You said such a thing...

- What did I say?

I am their child... they

felt bad about what I said?

But you should also understand...

I should understand everyone!

But no one will understand me!

What do I want, what do I think...

...Why do I work so hard,

what are my dreams?

Am I wrong?

These days you are using a lot

of 'I' in your conversations.

Sneha, we were rehearsing.

It was an intimate scene...

...so the director asked us to

rehearse and be comfortable.

Try to understand Sneha.

Everybody is looking. It will

needlessly become a scandal.

I didn't do anything, Sneha...

I didn't do anything

that the others don't do!

Everyone does that.

There is nothing serious about it!

And no matter what I do outside...

...I come back in this house, to you!

You should be happy, that

your husband is so popular...

...that many big

heroines wander around him!

As a husband I have

fulfilled all my duties.

Car, bungalow,

jewellery you have everything!

What are you looking at?

I am seeing that you

have changed so much.

You have to change, and

those who don't change...

...they are left behind.

And you have to change too,

your small town mentality...

...and your middle class values.

Forget them.

Or else it will get

difficult for you to live.

Stop.

I am talking to you!

Leave my hand Ashfaaq.

Ashfaaq, leave my hand

Now there is nothing

left between the two of us.

Now I will live in this

house only because of Rohit.

Sir, sir we have reached home.

'Even an animal

cries when he gets hurt...

...a real human is one who

feels others pains too. '

'This man, your son...

his character has changed. '

'Siddhu sir is your guru. '

'But I am not Eklavya that

I will cut off my thumb. '

'I have attained this name and

fame with a lot of hard work. '

'I cannot lose it all

with a small controversy. '

'You always forget that you

are not the father of Ashfaaq...

...you are Sameer Khans father. '

'Leave my hand. Now there

is nothing left between us. '

'Now I will live in this

house only because of Rohit. '

Please. Save me!

Please, save me!

Please, save me!

Please, save me!

Now if you want, we

can tear this paper.

What?

- Yes

Tomorrow if you are scared and say...

...that you gave this

statement because of the...

...pressure of the police. I hope

you will not change your statement.

No, I will not change my statement.

I will say the same

thing in the court too.

I can identify them

amongst thousands too.

Good.

Sir, what are you doing

in a police station?

Why are you quiet? Sir, answer us.

Sir, please tell us

what happened inside.

Sir, please tell us...

- Why are you quiet? Sir, answer us.

You were summoned in reference

to Rashmi Sahani's murder case.

Hey Sameer khan.

Hello. - So, you can

identify my men amongst thousands.

Keep all your dramas for the movie,

today they have thrown eggs...

...tomorrow they will

throw acid, on your face.

How much brother?

- Ten rupees.

Where were you so late?

Why, what happened? - They are

continuously showing it on T.V...

...Ashfaaq is getting life threats.

The vegetables have

become so expensive.

Tomatoes 30 rupees kilo,

onions 20 rupees a kilo.

This is the life

of the middle class.

What has happened to you, I

am talking about Ashfaaq...

...and you are...

- Ashfaaq, who Ashfaaq?

You mean famous film

actor Sameer Khan.

Why are you still

remembering that thing...

...for God sake forget everything.

Our son's life is in danger.

Let us go to Mumbai...

...or let us call him here.

My heart is so restless.

Nazma, don't cry.

Everything is fine.

No, I talked to daughter-in-law.

The police are guarding

the place 24 hours a day.

Hello. Yes commissioner sir,

the security is fine...

...yes please don't worry,

I will be there tomorrow.

Would you recognize both of them?

Yes, I remember both of their faces.

Okay.

- Thank you.

Ashfaaq.

Sir, Rohit's room has caught fire.

How did this fire start?

Don't know sir.

Hey some one bring water!

How did this fire start?

Hello.

So brother, will you go

for the identification?

Your guards love their children

more, that's why they ran away.

You scoundrel, who are you?

Why don't you come in

front of me? I will...

Whose call was it?

Call the doctor.

- Whose call was it?

I don't know God damn it!

Call the doctor!

- Father.

There...

Rohit has high fever.

Yes, because his hand was burnt.

It will come down after a while.

Keep the book, keep the book!

Call the doctor, now!

- Yes sir, sorry.

Papa, how did the

fire start in the house?

Just like that son, you rest.

Mangesh turn the car around,

we will go home.

Sir, don't you want to go

to the commissioner's office

for the identification?

No, I don't.

Greetings, I am Ritu's mother.

How is she, what

has happened to her?

She felt unconscious in the traffic.

The doctor is checking her.

She has an infection,

it is quite serious.

She is the patient's mother.

Hello. The kidney

operation that your daughter had...

Operation!

- Your daughter told me...

...that she donated

her kidney to someone.

I guess it is an infection for that.

It is quite serious... she will

have to stay here for a week.

Why did you do it? Tell me!

Why don't you tell me?

Mother, to keep sister's case

alive you need a big lawyer.

For a big lawyer, you

need a lot of money.

O Lord, first your

sister died and now you.

Mother, I don't care about myself...

...but sister's

murderers are still at large...

...they should be punished mother,

they should be punished.

Yes my dear.

4!

6!

The two people that

famous actor Sameer Khan...

...has identified in

the Rashmi murder case...

...they are minister

Gaekwad's son Harish and...

...the second is Liquor baron

Shiva Nagrajan's son Bhaskar.

He has been accused.

What do you have to say?

Please don't waste my time.

It is politics, it is all politics.

It is a game of the politics,

we will find out in the end.

It is the oppositions plan.

My son is innocent, and we will

prove it in court. - No comments.

Come Sameer sir, come.

How are you?

- I am fine.

You could have kept this

story sitting in my house...
