..used to be a very beautiful

girl in my neighbourhood.

All the kids used to like

her a lot and one day.

One day, she asked me to

play a game with her.

lt was a kissing game.

And l won the kiss.

And she taught me how to kiss.

l'm not preaching

philosophy but..

Don't you think such

experiences..

..will enhance Vikram's

confidence.

Yes, Dev, it was a

good one for you!

The first kiss of yours! -Well,

it wasn't my first kiss.

lt wasn't his first kiss! -Let's

end his chance now, please.

Now, someone else turn

the bottle please.

l don't want to speak all night.

-Okay, turn the bottle.

Okay, turn the bottle.

-Let's see who's next.

Okay, Dr. Nimesh.

No, no, not me! -No,

it's facing you.

lt's alright. Speak it out!

Alright, if you say so.

This dates back when

l was a student..

..in the Atlanta

medical college.

So, it's a pretty old incident.

-Oh! Thank you.

Anyway, there was a professor

in my neighbourhood.

He was old but his wife was

young and beautiful.

She was as beautiful as an

angel. l'm telling you, man.

l just found reason to

visit their place.

You know, l just barged in.

l started feeling that his

wife started loving me.

The lust was mutual. -Alright!

One night, the professor

went out. So l..

..wore my best shirt.

l mean, that was the sole

clean one that l had.

l went straight to their house.

Knocked and went inside.

Before l could make out,

l was in the bedroom.

l felt that my life was blessed!

-Okay, okay. -What?

So, you got all that you went

for. Next! -Wait, listen to me.

We were in the bed in each

other's arms and suddenly..

..the door opened and the

old professor was back.

Oh yeah! -He was climbing up

the stairs and any moment..

..could've reached the room.

-Did you go under the bed?

How do you know? Were you there?

-No, no, l was just guessing.

l hid under the bed and the

story doesn't end here.

That old professor wasn't

back for some work..

The both of them, were,

engrossed for hours.

We were under the bed,

the whole night.

Oh! Doctor, we feel

so bad for you.

lt was a horrible experience for

me. Anyway, my turn's over.

Oh! Sujata! -Okay.

lt is that..

lt dates back to. -Wait, wait.

You don't have any secret.

-What's that? Let her speak!

C'mon, Sujata, we're listening.

No, it's alright. l don't have

any secrets. -Oh, c'mon!

No, no. -See, she doesn't

have any secrets.

Okay, let's turn it again.

Who's it? Who's it?

Okay, l'll tell you.

l never got anybody's love.

l tried my level best

to cope up with men.

But l could never make

it. Don't know why!

l thought l chose the wrong men.

Then l thought, maybe..

..the men l chose had

problems in them.

Oh! So she prefers girls. -No!

Now, who's turn is it?

Meera! -Oh no! -lt's

be fun, now!

Well, l don't know whether..

..it's a secret or confession.

Dev and me are trying

for a kid since long.

Meera! -Dev, let her speak.

And l started worrying.

Because it was already a year..

..which is enough to conceive.

And l felt that..

..there must be some problem

in my family. That's why l..

But l don't know.

l don't think that..

..l..

Doctors said that. -Doctors? So

you consulted the doctors?

Yes, l did.

They will conduct a few

more tests and..

This is silly! l shouldn't

have started off..

Who's turn is it next? -Take

this! -C'mon guys!

Thanks, brother-in-law. -Just a

minute. My sari, lt's fine.

lt's Shekhar's turn.

l want to confess something.

lt's been twenty-four years

of our marriage.

We shifted to our bungalow after

6 yrs of our marriage.

But l lost my job.

l tried my best to

get a new job.

But l didn't get one.. -You

were depressed and..

Vani, let me tell.

Suddenly, my father fell

ill in the village.

And he was in need of money.

We didn't have money. We shifted

to a smaller house but..

Our cash and..

and gold were robbed.

You know!

Vani..

l had stolen everything.

And l sold everything. l sold

everything for money, Vani.

l'm ashamed!

l'm sorry, Vani.

l will complete Shekhar's story.

He lost his job.

And he got addicted to alcohol.

l used to do all his work.

Because, he had the male ego.

l used to get tired and broken.

Nobody, knew what tomorrow

held for us.

Then..

One day, l got to know

that l'm pregnant.

What are you saying?

You lied to me!

l always wanted a child.

l always wanted a child.

You're a killer, Vani.

l spent my life with a killer.

Vani! -Shekhar! -You're

a killer and..

..l spent all these years with

a killer. -Shekhar! -No, Vani.

l didn't want to do this but

what could l do? What?

Guys, this is enough for today.

l'll escort you to your

respective bedrooms. Come along!

Come! Come!

What a party it was!

ln this party..

..l experienced a lot

of weird things.

l shouldn't have said all this

in front of everybody.

l'm sorry baby, l don't know what

came over me! -Hey, forget it!

Anyways, this is not the

right time for a baby.

What?

We have a problem, Meera.

Can l say something?

We should get married.

Every man does this.

Shekhar!

l used to pity you..

..but l realised your

identity today.

Today, l realised that

you're a monster.

l wanted to tell you everything!

-Our relation is over!

Now, tell me, what's

that secret?

Which you wanted to confess

in front of everybody.

That was nothing special.

l was just..

l just wanted to confess

like everybody and..

So, you don't have

any secret? -No!

Nothing that you

want to tell me?

l told you that there's nothing.

Leave me, please.

l'm very tired!

ls it? -Please! -Alright!

Everything will part. This

house, magazine..

Everything!

And you know what?

lt doesn't make a

difference to me!

l just want to know.

Whether it makes a

difference to you?

You know my answer.

You're sure about

marriage, right?

Because l won't force you.

-Don't speak like that!

Just promise me that you'll

be with me, forever.

l don't want to create a scene

at your sister's place.

But l want to take a

divorce from you.

Where's the tape?

lt's with you.

l want to meet Rich.

-No, he won't.

He would want to meet me.

Will l get it back?

-Yes or maybe not.

Because l'll return

it with interest.

Think about it once, please.

Take her away, and..

..show her the way out.

-No, l'll go myself.

Do you know when will they

play Holi, tomorrow?

Holi, sh*t! No!

Today, there has been so

much of drama, today.

We may have it tomorrow,

as well.

That's why, l'm going

off to sleep.

Are you feeling sleepy?

-Yes, definitely.

Goodnight, Geetanjali.

-Goodnight, Megan.

Dear, Vikram.

Yes!?

Mother!

l'm sorry.

Are you alright? Sure?

Hello!

May l know, who's calling in?

l'm her husband speaking.

Who's speaking?

lt's the doctor. -l

don't want to talk.

There are some guests at home.

Can you call up later, please?

l'll take it.

You don't have to take this

call. -l will, l'm fine, please.

Yes!
