- No.

So have it with me.

- Daija won't forgive me, if l do.

She won't mind if it's with me.

He must have had all his

favorite dishes made.

''Spicy Bread''

My mouth's watering, dad...

l'm having my breakfast at his place.

You go ahead and get it all ready.

l'll join you there a little later.

l feel like having breakfast

on the terrace.

Terrace? But it's cloudy today.

That's wonderful! You keep it ready.

l'll just join you.

lf it starts raining,

how will you eat?

You'll just get wet

for nothing.

A superb breakfast. All these tasty

things and the rain falling...

Daija can really cook well.

- Here, have this...

l can eat by myself now.

l've grown up.

Everybody grows up.

But no one outgrows one's elders.

No dear, he has

really grown up now.

You have grown big, Sir.

lt's my hands that are small.

Your hand is bigger than the sky.

You haven't seen Rajasthan,

have you?

Daija, never showed it to me.

- How could l?

lt's his first visit here.

Then l'll make it

unforgettable for him.

l'll show him around and

get him stuck on to it,...

like glue on an envelope!

Anyway, it's a wet day today.

We'll make it tomorrow. Okay?

There's a man from

your house, Madam.

l'll take your leave then.

Be ready tomorrow, Viren.

Let the rain stop, my dear.

- lt's okay.

Be ready, Viren.

ls she the reason why you're so lost

in your thoughts these days?

Yes.

But she's older than you.

So what? l'm also younger to her.

lt's quits.

But such things are not

accepted in this country.

Does she love you just as much?

l don't know.

But you must know.

l'll ask her then.

What's this?

- Pallavi has sent it for you.

For me?

A letter too?

With due regards, to

His Lordship of London.

You must have seen such a dress

in the old portraits.

But this is the real attire

of our ancestors.

Play the Rajput just for today,

else you'll look like a tourist.

And Rajasthan will not be

one with you.

l'll look a fool in this!

- Your ancestors didn't!

But l'm not an ancestor.

But why tell me all this?

Return it. You can explain it to her.

No. l'll wear it.

l will come downstairs only if

you shut your eyes, Daija.

All right.

You must promise not to laugh at me.

- l promise. l will not laugh.

Even if l feel like it.

You promised you wouldn't laugh!

Didn't l say l'd look mad?

l'm not going!

No... you don't look mad at all.

You look handsome.

Hurry up and leave.

They must be awaiting you.

Go on.

Do l look good?

- Very good.

Greetings, sir.

- Greetings. May we leave?

Have you brought the car?

- No, sir.

ln that case, l'll take my car.

- No, sir.

No? How will go?

l've brought a camel, sir.

- A camel!

Go on.

Are you okay, sir?

Make it stand.

Steady...

Nothing's going to happen.

When l'm sad, l go to this place

l'm taking you to.

What do you do when you're sad?

- But l'm never sad.

You will be sad

when you're lonely.

The song means, ''When the peacock

calls during the night...''

''it pierces my heart

like a dagger''

''When the pea-hen

calls at midnight,...''

''My bangles...''

''My bangles tinkle, O Sir...

they tinkle in my hands''

''When the pea-hen calls in

the jungle at midnight''

''l literally die of shame,

when people listen to my love story''

''l literally die of shame when

people listen to my love story''

''lt was a slip of the tongue,

when l was chatting...''

''and then my bangles tinkled, O Sir,

they tinkled in my hands''

''As the pea-hen in the jungle

called out in the night''

''Whenever l see the moon in the sky,

my eyes overflow with tears''

''l don't know when my beloved left.

But l wilted within, over the years''

''l don't know when my beloved left.

But l wilted within, over the years''

''My thirst was never quenched

even by the rains''

''And my bangles tinkled, O Sir,

they tinkled in my hands...''

''as the pea-hen called

in the night''

''Nights l have spent

lonely and sleepless''

''l have been robbed

of my sleep''

''Nights l have spent

lonely and sleepless''

''l have been robbed

of my sleep''

''My peace of mind

has left with my beloved''

''And my bangles tinkled, O Sir.

The bangles tinkled in my hands...''

''as the pea-hen

called in the night''

This is Salamat Ali, Sir.

- Yes, go on.

l'm sorry, but we have

lost the case, Sir.

What? We lost the case?

But how? You said...

l tried my best, Sir, but...

But your best wasn't enough.

You just lost a case,

but l've lost everything.

My wealth, this mansion,

everything....

What's happened?

- Nothing, my dear.

l'll call the doctor.

You wait here, Viren, l'll just come.

Please sit.

l want to talk to you.

Nobody knows, except me.

l had a case against my step-brother,

concerning our property.

Today the court has

ruled against me.

l'm not bothered about myself

- You'll be fine, Sir.

Pallavi will just die,

if she gets to hear of it.

Look after her.

Explain it to her.

l can't keep her to

anybody else's care.

Nothing will happen...

l've sent for the doctor.

Come dear;

l want to tell you something.

Whatever l'm telling you...

- Don't talk, Papa...

l've explained it to Viren here.

l've entrusted your responsibility

in his hands.

What do you mean?

Trust him, child.

Please rest now.

Don't talk.

l'm very worried about her.

She hasn't eaten for the past 2 days.

She's like a stone, she won't talk

neither will she listen.

Please do something.

Where had you been?

l was awaiting you for ages!

Cry, dear...

Go ahead and cry.

What's this?

l didn't know my eyes

held so many tears.

Your father mustn't be

liking you cry like this.

l'm not used to living without him.

What shall l do?

Face the facts, and learn

to live without him.

But how did this happen?

l don't know. lt was all so sudden.

But whatever he had to tell,

he told Viren.

Who's he?

The son of our neighbour.

The one who was here yesterday?

Will you listen to something

l have to say, Viren?

Why ask? Have l ever refused

to obey you?

ln that case, you must return

to London today itself.

You're being unfair, Daija.

You wouldn't let me return,

when l wanted to.

And now that l don't want to leave,

you're asking me to go away.

l have promised her father.

Mr. Siddharth is here

to see his Lordship.

Tell him that l'll be there.

Everything is well

over there, l hope?

Can't really say, your Lordship.

Call me Vir, Mr. Bhatnagar.

That also sounds very formal.

Call me Siddharth.

l don't know whether Pallavi

has mentioned me to you before.

No. Nothing.

We love each other...

But my family background

is not as colourful as yours.

Does that make any difference?

Not to me, and maybe even you.

But her father was very orthodox.

lt was very important to him.

Let alone a background,

l don't even have a family!

But then, your name...

l'm told l was found on a street

and brought up in an orphanage.

When it was time for me

to go to school...

a father's name was essential.

The manager liked me a lot,
