Found me.

- No chance..

I`m much prettier than she is.

You`re the only one

who thinks that.

You think that too.

And don`t forget..

..I have my smile.

`There`s this thing

about the Qutub Minar..`

Dara and Nooshin aren`t

coming here.

Maybe that`s a good thing.

Otherwise, we would be talking

of the same things we always do.

Well, she has a smile too.

We`ll make a pact

that when we`re alone..

..we won`t discuss work.

- Fine.

Show it to me. Make her smile.

Listen, Jo. There was

once this Sikh man..

What?

- l`m sorry..

There`s this blond girl, right?

Sure.

- And she had to smile. Okay.

You know.. smile.

Can you just smile?

Smile, please. Smile, smile, smile.

Beautiful.. - What?

Oh, you`re funny.

Very funny.

Take it easy, Meera.

He`s getting alcohol for you.

Don`t fall into his trap.

So..

Shivi.. This is Jo.

Hello, nice to meet you.

- She`s Swiss.

So, she can`t speak English

very well.

Can you meet me in the courtyard?

Hi.

- Behind the Qutub Minar.

Hey, Jo. I`ll be back in two minutes,

okay? - Okay, that`s fine.

Just look after her.

- All right.

What happened?

What happened, Meera?

Vikram proposed to me..

..to marry him..

My engagement has taken place.

When? Right now?

Yesterday.

They hadn`t said anything.

That`s why they brought me

back here..

..on the pretext of

attending a wedding.

Nothing can be done now.

Forget everything.

So, what`s the problem?

This is good..

You`re happy to hear this?

Meera!

- You feel like laughing?

You`re looking cute.

I`ve never seen you

like this before.

Wait. Listen..

Don`t be so tense.

He`s asked you to

get married to him..

He`s not put a gun to your head.

Think it over calmly and decide.

I should meet with you covertly..

..and hold your hand

while deciding?

Good one.

So, how do you want to decide?

You`ll have to go far away from me.

I am very far away from you.

No, you`re not far away!

We can`t keep meeting this way.

These familiar feelings.. habit..

Let`s get real.

There`s no room for

that in our lives.

There can`t be

any contact between us.

No phone, no internet.

Nothing at all.

Oh, come on, Meera..

Don`t be such a bore.

Don`t you understand, Jai?

I want that space empty..

..so that someone else can come.

I`m thinking of marriage,

for Gods sake!

Okay.

So, what should we do? Tell me.

Go away from here.

Please.

Why did you come?

Are you serious, Meera?

Yes.

We can`t even stay in touch,

is that necessary?

Yes.

How many times will we break up?

We`ll never meet again?

I don`t know.

Listen, Meera, l..

- Bye.

Veer?

What happened, Veer?

Veer!

The train is late by an hour.

Wait..

Be careful, Veer.

Veer! Veer, watch it!

Oh, no.

Look, the wedding..

What`s the matter?

Brother..

Good evening, sir.

What is it?

Sir..

Your daughter..

- What?

What?

- Harleen..

I want to..

..marry her.

Then?

- Then what?

You watch a lot of films?

Hit him!

- You want to be a hero?

What a disrespectful man!

In front of everybody..

You think you are too smart?

- Come on.

You idiot..

Hit him! Don`t spare him!

I`m not going to leave him!

This creep used to

follow our sister on a cycle..

..when she was

attending college over here.

Let go of me!

- Hit him!

Wait!

- Hit him!

Kullu, get on the train!

Get in!

Hit him! Come on!

No, Mother! What could

I do? I would have..

..made chutney out of him.

Don`t keep it bottled up inside you.

You can laugh..

I know..

..that I did a very foolish thing.

But she was leaving.

You didn`t know if you

would ever meet again.

She might be married soon..

You thought what can I do?

How can I turn the

situation around..

..and keep her with me.

I can understand that.

Oh, wise one..

What`s happening?

While you were in Delhi..

..did you fall in love,

by any chance?

There`s no danger of

that happening, Brother.

You need a heart for that heart.

Heart.

- Dil (heart).

And the heart factory has shut down.

Watch it, or you might

turn into Veer Singh Panesar.

Veer Singh`s are not

manufactured anymore, Brother.

The great lndian lover..

Oh, God..

Traveled a thousand miles..

.. was beaten to the ground..

..almost killed..

..and all for a girl.

Bye, love.

Bye.

Jai.

Do you love me?

What?

Oh, don`t listen to

Veer Singh, he`s just..

Love?

Oh, come on, Jo.

Who knows what that is?

I haven`t figured

that one out yet.

When you know love..

..call me, okay?

Goodbye Jai.

All the best, Jo.

Wild stallion..

Stop it.

- Come on.

Look.. That could have

been the wedding procession..

Scold him everyone..

He made us both late

with his dramatics.

Meera doesn`t want

me at her wedding.

Shut up!

Ignore him.

Hi!

- Hi. - Hi, guys.

So..

Great.

You decided.

All the best.

Thank you.

- Come, let`s go down.

What?

Hi!

- Hi.

Keep your head up, Brother.

Don`t make it so easy for her.

What are you doing?

Don`t bend down..

..or you`ll have to

do it your whole life.

She`s too tall. I admit defeat.

May l?

- Yes.

Guys, guys, listen.

Meera wants to meet with Jai..

alone.

Why? What happened?

We`ll take her to the dressing room..

..and you guys bring

Jai to the back lawn..

..in exactly ten minutes.

Colly, what`s the matter?

God knows. Bring him there, okay?

Sure.

- Come. Come with me.

I don`t know.

Maybe she`s thinking that..

Whatever it is..

I`ll sort it out.

Yes!

Meera. I`m absolutely fine.

Okay.

There`s nothing to worry about.

It`s your wedding day.

And you were looking

at me. I saw that.

Is Jai okay?

Is his system..

because of my marriage..

..experiencing any disturbances?

And, what if it is, Meera?

And if it turns out to be true?

That there is something.

There actually is..

Love.

Which happens only once..

Soul-mates..

Two people who are

made for each other.

Can`t live without each other.

So, they keep

searching for one another..

..and all the other nonsense..

..that Veer Singh talks

about in his coffee shop..

What if it`s true?

Then?

Can you just ignore

that please, Meera.

Delete, all right.

Please believe me, l`m okay.

I became nervous.

You were looking at me..

..and l`m seeing you after so long.

By the way, you`re looking hot!

Hot!

No, you don`t know..

You`ve never looked

this beautiful before.

Meera.. the bride.

You had to get married?

You were fixed on that.

And if that`s what you wanted..

..you could have insisted on it.

Yes?

You used to ask me for things..

Take me out for an ice cream..

How does this dress look on me.

Take me out shopping.

If you had asked for this, Meera..

You`ll have to marry me, Jai..

I don`t care, you have to do it.

If you had forced me..

Then who knows, Meera..

Who knows?

I can`t believe it!

Why am I saying this now?

I should go.

Yes..

I`m fine, Meera.

Yes, I know but..

..seriously, l`m all right, okay?

Anyway..

All the best, Meera.

Congratulations on your wedding.

By the way, what`s your status now?

Are you married already..

..or are you still single?

What`s the scene?
