..but inside me..

I keep thinking of her.

And now, I don`t have

any options left, Brother.

I want to go to her.

I want to meet her.

Jai..

Listen to me very carefully.

Son, it`s too late now.

What will you do by meeting her?

I don`t know..

I don`t know what l`ll do.

When she`s in front of me..

..maybe then l`ll know

what I have to do.

It`s too late.

It is too late but

life isn`t over yet.

Listen, son..

Think it over

carefully before deciding.

Oh, Brother..

Do you think?

Maybe l`m doing something stupid..

But sir, we only have one life..

She`s getting married.

I only have this one chance..

Go, son.

May God keep you..

Surjeet, listen to me.

Get my company flat cleaned..

Harleen will be coming there.

Yes, why not? Absolutely, Veer.

Don`t worry.

- You idiots!

I`m definitely returning with her!

Two days!

In two days,

everything needs to be done!

The expenses are killing me,

I`m deep in debt..

I`ve gone mad thinking..

..who should I grovel in front of..

..to whom can I go and beg..

..so that I may satisfy the

demands of the groom`s father!

No.. - And you`re telling me

that Veer Singh is coming..

..to take her away!

- So, why are you shouting at me?!

I`m not the one

running away with Veer Singh!

Anytime.. anytime now!

I`m going to burst!

So, how is it my fault?

I`m going to kill him.. Yes!

That`s definite!

If I see him anywhere..

..I promise all of you..

I`m going to kill him!

- No!

It`s decided!

- You`ve decided?

Yes, I have.

- Now, cool down.

Okay, fetch some water for him.

`This is not a valid number.`

`Please check the number

and dial again.`

You think that if I get her number..

..I will ruin her life, right?

Of course..

Of course, you have her number.

`Please check the number.

Please check the number.`

Get it from Mr. Das.

Get those sweets.

Get it from him.

All the materials are here.

My God help me.

What is to be done..

My brother-in-law spoilt the room.

Go check downstairs.

Kuldeep, is he here?

This isn`t the correct way..

I`m aware of that.

But your daughter will

only be happy with me.

You know this too.

This is a difficult time..

..but please believe me..

It will pass very quickly.

Everything will be fine again.

Just give us your blessings..

One moment. Yes, sir?

Who would you like to meet with?

Lajjo, bring a few sweets here.

I`ve asked you to wait but

you`re still continuing on!

Hey! That`s the limit!

Check if the

confectioner`s van has arrived.

I had ordered some sweets from him.

Is Meera there?

What?

- Meera.

Who is it?

Hi.

My name is..

- Jai..

Come in.

Is she there?

No.

Where has she gone?

Come in.

I have to meet with her, okay?

I have to talk to her.

It`s really, really important.

If she`s inside, then please..

I know that you`re her husband..

Maybe you know that Meera and l..

I didn`t want to meet you.

- Jai.

I didn`t know that

this would happen, okay?

I did everything only

after thinking it through..

Break up. Golden Gate..

Practical..

I made a big mistake.

I didn`t understand.

What can be done now?

It can`t go on like this.

It`s not possible.

Because you feel that you`ll

never be able to tell her this?

So you came, Jai.

I`m sorry, Vikram.

I`m really sorry.

Do you know where the Old Fort is?

The Old Fort?

- Yes, sir. - Come on.

Jai is moving to America.

I don`t know what will happen next.

But I don`t think l`ll

ever be able to forget him.

What l`ve done to you..

I can`t fix that..

But I don`t want to do

anymore wrong.

I can`t stay with you, Vikram.

Listen, l`m in a hurry.

Go faster.

- Yes, sir.

Where should we put everything?

One minute..

Why don`t you tell him?

Because I know him.

If I tell him, he`ll

leave everything..

..and arrive immediately.

But a few days later,

he`ll start to think..

..that he`s made a mistake.

Then..

Jai hasn`t yet figured it out,

Vikram.

He still doesn`t know.

When he finally does..

If he ever does..

..then he`ll come.

Excuse me.

One black coffee, please.

Look, I don`t want to pile on.

But Romeo and Juliet..

..Heer and Ranjha, Laila and Majnu..

`Staying together across

lifetimes` type of people..

They exist only in stories, right?

You and me..

We`re ordinary people.

The general public..

the mango people.

We don`t want to die

and become immortal.

We want to be together..

..together in this lifetime.

What do you say?

That`s a new angle.

I think..

..that we should discuss

this further.

You always say the

correct thing, darling.

Should I come down?

Come..

Because long distance

relationships..

..never work out.

I didn`t even say that..

I don`t want to live if..

You don`t become mine.

Not even by mistake.

Did I ever tell you that..

I wish for distances.

I only want as much distance.

As turns to heartache that makes..

My desires burn stronger for you.

Yours and mine.

They will reduce these distances.

They will be banished.

- These distances.

They will be removed.

- These distances.

Destroy all these distances.

Will you just keep staring at me?

I`m afraid..

..that you might break.

Break me.

Carry on with your work, guys.

Ready!

And we twist. We twist. We twist.

And we twist. We twist. We twist.

Come on, come on!

And we twist. We twist. We twist.

And we twist. We twist. We twist.

Harleen..

Hey, Harleen!

Sit there.

Sometimes laugh and talk to me.

Don`t grind my life

into the ground.

Sometimes laugh and talk to me.

Don`t grind my life

into the ground.

Come to me, my love, my life.

Bestow your favours on me.

Come to me, my love, my life.

Bestow your favours on me.

I have a desperate need for you.

Don`t grind my life

into the ground.

Love is a heavy burden.

And a wonderful illness.

You want to let it go on.

Love is a long friendship.

It`s issued without a permit.

We`ll be riding high, come on.

Oh a heart wants another heart.

Wants to be coloured by love.

While I live, it will..

..make me meet God.

The eyes connecting..

Dying and disintegrating..

It`s the same story.

Only the times do change.

Sometimes laugh and talk to me.

Don`t grind my life

into the ground.

Sometimes laugh and talk to me.

Don`t grind my life

into the ground.

These mementos,

I don`t want to lose.

They`re precious,

in my breath I want to weave..

The things you said.

Surprises, of circumstances..

Of those nights.

Of meeting you.

Of conversations.

These chats going on..

These flaming nights.

Being burnt and getting

caught up in love again.

The eyes connecting..

Dying and disintegrating.

It`s the same story.

Only the times do change.

Sometimes laugh and talk to me..

Don`t grind my life

into the ground.

Sometimes laugh and talk to me.

Don`t grind my life

into the ground.

Sometimes laugh and talk to me.

Don`t grind my life

into the ground.
