- Stop it.

What is wrong with you, woman?

Are you crazy?

Can anyone believe that

I tried to assault you?

Please, Maya.

Thankfully Praful was in the room...

...otherwise I wonder what

else she would've accused me of.

- Will you stop lying?

- Please, Maya, stop it.

I've had enough.

He says he can't take this anymore.

I had a life too.

A personal life.

And now...

What should I do?

Quit. Resign from this job.

What did you say?

Exactly what you heard. Quit the job.

Do you know how hard

I've worked to get here?

I changed myself, Tarun.

I deserve this.

I mean... how many get the chance...

...to be at the peak of their talent.

National Creative Director.

And I should quit...

...because one man has a

problem with my progress.

Just... just some bloody .

I am so sorry.

What the hell are you doing?

I am really sorry.

Leave it, leave it.

Please, just leave it.

You know something, I'm out of here.

Listen... you can't

just leave like this.

What's wrong? Why are you so worried?

Look, Maya, let me clarify one thing.

You will withdraw this case.

I've got clients in

Mumbai and New York.

This will only bring humiliation.

You get it?

Look, Maya. It will only

lead to baseless questions.

Why don't you understand?

Come on, Maya. You

had a scene with him.

You think I didn't know?

You were sleeping with him.

Maya. Good news from

Norman Corporation.

They're expanding in 20 more markets.

KK, you were saying that

there are just three...

...women National Creative

Directors in India, right? - Yes.

- Might be just two.

- What?

I am filing a case of sexual

harassment against your CEO.

So, this is our presentation.

- But, we've some more ideas, right?

- Yes mam.

What do you think?

Look, you're proving an old cliche.

That women are too

weak and emotional...

...for senior management positions.

I'm sorry.

Fine.

Sorry to spoil the party, guys.

It's all rubbish. It's

all bloody nonsense.

She must have a reason.

All I know is that

Rahul won't spare her.

If he leaves the

agency will shut down.

She's just putting up an act.

It's not a big deal.

I think she should just do him

and get it over and done with.

Anymore advice?

It's not like you

haven't done anything with him?

Nimmi, I'm coming as well.

Damn you all.

When a women turns ferocious... (quote)

Everything goes wrong, Nimmi.

You've asked enough

questions in the past two days.

Can I ask one question?

Did she complain when we

were having an affair?

No.

Did she complain when she

was getting promoted? No.

But when she was appointed

on the board of directors...

...she suddenly felt a need

to complain... harassment.

Why?

It's clear but you're

not going to get it.

How will you get it?

You're a woman.

And in every woman's view,

all men are bastards.

Look, the CEO's position

is the only one higher...

...than the National Creative Director.

That is my position in the company.

If I... I'm proven guilty in

this sexual harassment case...

...then I lose my job.

That means... the

path is clear for her.

You can trust anyone you want.

I cannot tolerate any

more of this humiliation.

I am done here.

What are you all saying?

You believe what Rahul just said.

We aren't accusing you.

The committee's only suggesting that...

...this can be a possibility.

It's my fault to have

expected anything from you.

I'll see you in court.

What's the scene, Gupta?

The scene's really bad.

The direction she's

taking this case is dangerous.

And if the media finds out...

...it would be disastrous.

And every girl in the agency...

...will be filing cases

of sexual harassment.

That can't be good boys.

Then every man will be... screwed.

Shut the hell, Paul.

John shouldn't find out.

Gupta.

I give you a free hand.

Do anything required.

But this issue

shouldn't get out of hand.

Put an end to it today at any cost.

Are you sure?

Do I look like I'm freaking not sure?

Get the hell out of here. Go.

Take my advice, KK.

Go to Bangkok, get a massage.

- Go.

- I get it, KK.

What the hell is your problem, Paul?

KK, bloody dumb fool.

You've lost.

You tried to create a

parallel power centre...

...in this agency.

But guess what? She is out

of control like Saddam Husain.

And you're

screwed... just like America.

Beware, KK.

She's an unguided missile.

About to blow.

And hey, no pun intended.

But she's not going to

take this lying down.

Hello. Advocate

Rajni Mathur's residence.

Sorry, sorry, I am late.

Mr. Gupta sent me this gift.

But we'll talk about that later.

Let's continue.

We were thinking that...

...we'll never reach

a decision this way.

Let's vote.

- Right, Mr. Gupta.

- Not a bad idea.

Thank you.

Nimmi?

Look, I feel Maya's allegations...

...are wrong.

Rahul can never do

such a thing. You know.

What?

Kavita, I genuinely

believe Rahul is innocent, okay.

Kavita?

Maya's telling the truth.

Aul? - Even I feel

Maya's telling the truth,

I don't think so.

Rahul is innocent.

I...

I don't know.

In the beginning I

thought Maya's the victim.

But after listening to them,

after listening both the versions...

...it's difficult to decide.

Because they both sound

right from their viewpoints.

They sound so genuinely honest.

I can't understand who

is lying and who is not.

Honestly, I am confused.

I cannot decide.

Whom should I vote for I...

I don't know.

You want us to hire a

private detective...?

...get a police conform,

defame the agency?

Mr. Gupta, I told you what I feel.

I think this issue should

be properly investigated.

That's what I feel. It's

really hard to decide.

Fine, then.

The votes are a tie.

KK, I think management

should take a decision now. Right.

Like I'd told you.

It's easier to prove rape.

But sexual

harassment... very difficult.

Then what are my options?

What are my options?

What is the bloody solution?

Khurana, you draw

advocate's salary every month.

Now earn them.

What do you mean by that?

We've two options.

Offer her a compensation package.

You can file a court case if you like.

Or they'll offer you an compensation...

...to withdraw the case, so take that.

And look for another job.

KK, I can tell you...

...she will not accept the

compensation package at all.

If she rejects it, then file a

case of kickback against her.

Say that some production

house offered her a few cars...

...sponsored a foreign trip,

in exchange of an ad.

You'll have to do that.

Before she approaches

the media and the court.

Then you know what's to be done.

Khurana, file a case

of kickback against her.

And after this she

won't get a job anywhere.

I'll make sure of that.

Maya, in such a situation...

...they will try to

destroy your career completely.

Take my advice if you have any

other option, then try that...

...and beat them at their own game.

'If you have any other option,

then try that...

...and beat them at their own game.'

The caravan of life,

the countless desires.
