I didn't make it this far by

doing nothing, Mrs. Kaamdar.

In fact, I've people in

the New York office as well.

You can't move a

muscle in this office...

...without me knowing about it.

I just wanted to see

whether she tells me or not.

The man that shaped her entire career.

I'm sure this was already decided...

...between her and John in New York.

No one gets promoted suddenly.

What you're saying clearly indicates...

...that you were very angry with her.

Right?

Don't put words in my mouth,

Mrs. Kaamdar.

This isn't a question worth answering.

In fact, you're insulting me

by asking me this question.

You can ask anyone in this agency.

- Praful.

- Yes.

Did you ever feel that

after Maya was promoted...

...to the board of director,

there was tension...

...between Rahul and Maya?

Mr. Gupta, why get

me involved in this?

I didn't.

What am I supposed to say?

Say it.

- I'm supposed to take sides now.

- No, no.

Say what you want to say.

Praful, I need to

know if you're aware...

...whether Rahul was

unhappy of Maya's progress.

What are you saying, madam?

Rahul's not like that.

I mean Aul can tell you.

Rahul is a tremendous leader.

He has always encouraged new talent.

He's always been happy to

see his junior's progress.

Mr. Gupta, he was slightly surprised.

What was he surprised about?

There was a big

announcement to be made.

They were going to make her

the national creative head...

...and you didn't tell your CEO.

He deserved being told, right.

Maya was Rahul's prodigy.

National Creative Director.

And on the board of directors.

I'm so glad KK finally told you.

- Can I say something?

- What?

Say no.

Why?

You aren't ready for it.

You're not ready yet, Maya.

- Can I say something, Rahul?

- Of course.

I'm accepting this

offer because I deserve it.

If you have a problem,

take it up with them.

As far as I am concerned,

I was given an offer.

And I accepted it.

End of discussion.

All that's left to do is

make that announcement. - Yeah.

Seven years ago, when I hired Maya...

...did anyone imagine she'll

be the National Creative Head?

No one imagined that...

...she'll handle two top

accounts of this agency.

He's the one who got

clients like Proton and Digimax.

And he was handling them for years.

And it was taken from him

and given to someone else.

Rahul did all the

spadework to get them here...

...and now suddenly 'poof',

everything is gone.

Not just that.

No one could imagine that...

...she'd be on KK

Doyle's board of directors.

You all are great,

sir. You all are great.

And ma'am, for your kind information.

I'll say this today but I'll

get jacked for this tomorrow.

But after the promotion

Maya's behaviour had changed.

Excuse me. What do you mean?

What do I mean?

Her body language. Her language.

There was a strange

sense of... arrogance in her.

A strange arrogance.

Come on, Praful.

- There was a strange arrogance.

- Come on.

Don't...

- Let him speak.

- Do you people agree with that?

- Let him speak.

- What let him speak?

He's being unreasonable.

Everyone has the right to speak.

He is speaking but

he's being unreasonable.

Alright. Alright, go ahead.

Finish what you are saying.

Bowling, bowling, come on.

Howzat!

These are the same old ideas?

Do you think this is a bloody joke?

You've a month's notice.

Look for another job

instead of coming to the office.

Rani.

Can you please ask HR to

prepare termination letter...

...for Tanvi and Prasad.

Both of you, thank you.

Ma'am, how can you

sack people recklessly?

Everyone began from somewhere.

Even she did.

Rahul brought her here.

She started somewhere.

Why has she forgotten her roots?

And then, ma'am, no

one had ever imagined...

...what happened one day.

- Maya. Maya. I need to talk to you.

- Yes, what?

I heard that you

fired Tanvi and Prasad.

- So?

- What? Can I know why?

They don't know a thing.

How many chances do

you want me to give them?

So now you're judging those I hired?

They're bloody good.

You may have hired them,

but I've to tolerate them.

You cannot fire

people like this, Maya.

It's against the policy of our agency.

It's my responsibility to maintain...

...the quality of my department...

...and I hope that... is

also the agency's policy.

Fine, I'll transfer them

to Bangalore. - Yeah, sure.

Anyway, there's always

some client's daughter...

...or nephew joining

here as the trainee.

Your hiring policies, Rahul.

I didn't enjoy firing them either.

New responsibilities,

new designation...

...a lot changed.

So... I changed slightly.

But let me tell you.

If an ambitious woman wants

to make a place for herself...

...amongst these alpha males,

then one needs to be...

...the alpha woman.

What the hell? What

just happened outside?

You two are fighting in the open now?

Do you know the

effect of this on others...

...when the CEO... and

the NCD of the company...

...is fighting like this.

What is it, Maya?

You're still in love or something.

It sure seems that way.

Friends, I hope you're

having a great time.

And I see that Rahul has entered.

A warm welcome for him, please.

Rahul. Give me your flat keys.

Mend your ways, Gupta.

- When did you arrive?

- Praful.

I thought you weren't feeling well.

What can be done? One

needs to stay visible.

Good to see you here.

Maya and that Vaswani from

the toothpaste company...

...are up to something.

Just check.

Atention everybody.

My partner John

could not be here today...

...he sends his regrets.

But he has sent us a

recorded message. Please.

Sorry I couldn't be with you.

Damn weather.

Have good fun.

Have a party.

And a very special

hello to our darling Maya.

We're missing you here in New York.

Have a good party.

We've been running that

cock-a-doodle-doo campaign...

...for a long time.

Let's change to

something interesting now.

- Mr. Vaswani.

- Rahul.

She has some fantastic ideas.

Fantastic ideas.

What as it?

'Words aren't enough to

fight dental problems.'

That's why there is pearly white.

Now that she's back from New York...

...I think... I think she

should take over the campaign.

No, no, no, it's...

It was just an idea that popped up.

I mean, I still have to

run the briefs through Rahul.

What? I pay the bills, so...

I will give the briefs, what

does he got to do with it?

- I mean, I am not saying but...

- Mr. Vaswani...

...maybe it didn't occur to you.

But perhaps our agency...

...doesn't have the

time for your campaign.

I am not saying, you're saying.

You're not saying, I am saying.

You know what I am saying.

The caravan of life,

the countless desires.

Filled with pride, always

trying to exceed yourself.

The caravan of life,

the countless desires.

Hi.

Rahul.

Everything's going on under your nose.

Do something.

Hello. Hi.

John.

You should have come.

Just stop being naughty.

Thank you very much for coming here.

Rahul, no evening would be complete...
