Well, Megan, this is Geetanjali.

We call her Jee, Megan.

Hi! -This is Meera. -l've

You've met Meera already.

Meera, your house is really

pretty like Taj Mahal.

Oh! l've got something for

Oh! Here it is!

Seems like you made it.

Thank you!

Wow, thank you so much.

lsn't it beautiful, Meg?

Yes, it's beautiful. Wow!

Can we go inside? Thanks!

Like you've been made..

..for me. -So here

Oh my God! Congratulations,

Javed!

Finally, your efforts

bore fruit.

Dev, how are you? -Very well.

Did you start your job? -Yes.

l'll introduce you to the

ladies. This is Geetanjali.

She works with me. -l'm his

slave. -This is my sister, Vani.

He's a great friend of

mine. -Mr. Hollywood?

Yeah, he's going to start

off with his first film.

C'mon, talk about it. This is

your first film after 10 yrs.

lt's such a great news. -This

is the beautiful? -Jennifer.

Hi, Jennifer. -How are you

doing? -She's so beautiful.

Are you an actress?

-Yes, she is.

She's a very good actress. -ls

she the heroine in your film?

Well, l've found something good..

-No, l'm just a girlfriend.

Oh! Well.. -That's great!

Lucky guy! You're really

a lucky guy!

Good times! Good times!

Good times!

Good times!

Life's like this.

Laugh a little.

C'mon, there's only some time

left. lsha will reach anytime.

l'm sorry. l'm a little tensed

since a few days.

Tell me, who's not?

By the way, do l look tensed?

Don't seem to.

l'm not talking about work. You

know about my personal life.

lt's going to be a year,

now. -l know.

l'm ill-fated since childhood.

Maybe, l'm goin through all this

because l broke that guy's..

..heart in third standard.

Come here! -What happened?

-Check that out.

She's getting on him for

a promotion, isn't it?

No, l promise. lt's nothing like

that. They're just good friends.

Maybe, they don't hold anything

now but this is how it starts.

Okay, then, l'll keep an

eye on them, henceforth.

Hey!

Now, let's go inside and talk.

Did you tell her?

She runs my house and supported

me throughout.

You're just bothered about your

magazine and everybody's support.

Blah, blah, blah!

Tell her everything, Dev!

You're lucky that you

got her. -l know!

But her sister seems to be

different. -Don't bother that!

Have you seen Javed?

-He must be around.

Do you know about tarot cards?

Since how many years have

you been reading them?

lt's been long. -Sorry,

l'm Jennifer.

Megan. You've come with Javed.

-Yes, with him and you?

With my cards. Jennifer tell me

one thing, should l take this off?

Yes, even l felt so.

Oh God! l'm having a bad

mood today. l mean..

..l didn't want to come here.

l just came to support

him and he's missing.

Javed is like this.

Should l tell you something

about yourself? -Why not?

l'm afraid but, sure.

lt's better than sitting idle.

What are you doing, now?

Did l scare you? -No, stop this!

Okay. -Please!

You know what? l know these

American guys well.

What do you think of them?

l've heard that these people

take drugs, party every night..

..and enjoy with girls.

Well, how did you get

to know about this?

This is what happens

in American TV.

l know everything. -This

means that you..

..have rid..

..big elephants and your

dad deals with it.

No, how did you come across

this? -By our TV.

Do you have a girlfriend? -No!

l don't have a girlfriend.

So, you're a virgin? -What!? No!

Why are you asking? -Have

you ever kissed a girl?

l've done it many times.

-Oh, okay! -Vikram!

Well, what have you got to

do with it? -Fine, sorry.

Mom's calling. -Okay!

So you're a big filmmaker?

Well, won't call it big but

then yes, l make films.

How many films have you

made till date? -Well..

This will be my first film.

And he's made some

documentaries.. -Two of them!

They're really good,

brother-in-law.

How many years have you

spent doing this?

10 yrs. -Oh, 10 yrs?

This is one thing l don't

understand about this field!

We make furniture and if l take

10 yrs to make a table, then..

..my family will die

out of starvation.

Well, l'm lucky not to have a

family. So, no one remains hungry.

By the way, making a film

will be really difficult.

Much difficult that making

tables. -Agreed!

Nothing's difficult!

10 yrs is too much

to make a film.

Are you making a Mughal-E-Azam,

brother?

lt's just a matter of money,

nothing more is needed!

So are you an actress? -Yes,

a struggling actress.

Yes, l've learnt acting

from Loyalo Marimon.

Sorry, what?

University, darling. She's

talking about university.

Oh, university! Even l

wanted to join one.

l was telling him if l could

join next year.. -This is good.

Absolutely, you must go.

l think it's great!

l think it's a bad idea.

What will you do there?

-What will she do?

What will she do in a university

-She's got everything.

And even after having everything,

she wants to join college.

Of course! This is

her own choice.

ls it? This choice is a

stupid feminism talk.

Feminism and choice, how

do you connect them?

And this is Vikram.

Say hi, Vikram.

l have to go.

And that was Vikram, ladies

and gentleman.

What's going on? -Who? -No, no.

Who? What are you talking

about? -She!

She's just a friend, nothing

more. -Really?

Don't you like her? -As far as

l know, she's an actress.

And she's working in my film.

And till then, you're taking

advantage as a director.

Then what? Should l introduce

her to my mom?

lf she collapses

due to shock..

..then there's no

question of marriage.

Yes, but you like her..

Hey, Jennifer, are you alright?

-ls your health fine?

What's wrong? -Can l go to the

bathroom, please? -Of course!

l'll come along. -You sit. l'll

take her. Come, come, my dear.

What happened?

Don't know what's wrong!

-Not bad, Preeti!

Wow! Anything more?

l have seen your past, your

karmic relations..

..now let's see your future.

-Yes, yes. -Okay.

The mortality card. -Mortality?

lt's good, don't worry!

lt's feeling good. What

are you applying?

lt's very easy. A little

turmeric in mustard oil..

..and salt to boil it and you'll

be healed in two hours.

Wow! Very good!

The same pain, again? -Yes,

it's better now.

We should keep someone

like her as well.

What happened? Why is

your face swollen?

You know, Preeti, is

troubling Vikram.

You've started off again.

Why do you hate everybody?

Preeti, you're doing great!

Really? l mean.. it

feels so good.

i came here and now Javed's

giving me a role in his film.

You too? Wow! -l feel so

happy! -When is my turn?
