Perhaps she might tell you.

Really?

You don't know?

I will know only if you tell me

Problem One:

I think you two don't

communicate with each other.

Unnecessary communication gap.

Exactly

After a few years of marriage,

ask him..

...did he ever spend

quality time with me?

It's not so, sir.

We talked a lot in the beginning.

But slowly we released

how each other is.

We ran out of topics

Now what should I talk about, sir?

I come home tired.

I just wish to have a

drink or two and go to bed.

I have to go to work the next day.

Hence, I go out to

spend time with my friends.

Then why don't you spend

that time with me instead?

Because of them,

you forgot my birthday this time.

I didn't forget, sir.

I came home lame by two hours

How can I forget her birthday?

I wouldn't have become

a resident if she wasn't born.

So, was our love a lie?

Was it because you wanted

to become a permanent resident?

It's not so, sir.

When I saw her for the first time,

I thought she is beautiful.

Okay? Then I learnt that

she is a permanent resident.

I thought I should give it a try.

What's the harm if we manage to click?

But I truly loved her after marriage.

I swear by plumbing, sir.

Let it be. It's done now.

I now know. All the problem is solved.

He got married to me to

become a permanent resident.

What problem do we have now?

What is the harm in that, sir?

Look, when people

get married in Punjab..

...elders get together

and discuss it through, right?

They see what the girl does.

The girl has a government job.

She is had done BEd. She's a teacher.

What does the boy do?

He is working in a bank

So, let's get them married.

Now my parents are not here

So here, I am going to decide

who I am going to marry, right?

So, I saw that she's a permanent

resident and got married to her.

What is the harm in that?

I didn't care if she

has a government job

There's a point in than, dear.

Oh please, that's enough.

Actually, it is my fault.

My mother told me that he is getting

married to me for permanent residence.

You will face trouble later in life.

Then why didn't you

listen to your mother?

I had fought with her.

Look at that, sir.

She fights with everyone

Just a few moments ago,

she said that's enough to you.

It's a different case

that you didn't mind it.

Moreover, your mother

isn't good in giving advices.

She comes up with

a new one every day, sir.

Everything that she

said turned out to be true

She had told me,

he would never take me to parties.

If he does

you'll be sitting with the ladies.

...and he will be sitting with the men

And if he ever takes you to shopping.

...then he will multiple

everything with 50.

Ask him. That's what he does

Listen to me, sir.

When my father sent me here, he had

multiplied by 50 and sent me, right?

Secondly as she spoke

about the party..

She doesn't fit into my social circle

The clothes she wears..

Sometimes they are so thin..

We use thicker clothes than

that to cover bread in our village.

Then why don't you get a better

understanding of your culture?

Why don't you go in your

Bhangra costume to fix the taps?

Conservative thinking

Conservative what?

- I am conservative?

- Yes, you are

He has stopped giving me time. Hence,

I too got busy in my friend circle.

If my friends come over to meet

me or if I go to meet my friends.

Oh God! He sulks for four days

Hold on, sir. You tell me

Wives don't need to have friends, sir.

My mother doesn't have a friend.

My mother never said..

"Your father doesn't

spare time for me."

"I went to my friend

Nazar Singh's house."

"Nichchatar Singh showed up there."

"We kept chilling till 12:00am"

Listen, don't talk about your mother..

...forget about the past

and move forward.

If you keep talking about the past

then you won't be able go forward.

You are right.

You are absolutely right.

I'll let it go.

Let's go ahead. I am done.

I want a divorce.

Thank you. Bye

This is what I want as well, sir.

I came here just because of Manveer.

Tell him not to talk about Manveer.

Does he even know in

which grade Manveer is?

How much did he score

in his last exams?

Have you ever gone to

his parent-teacher meeting?

I have been looking

after Manveer so far.

And I will do so

in the future as well.

Giving birth doesn't

make anyone a father.

Don't use him and attempt a patch up.

I am done with him

What do you think,

sir, will she come back?

She will.

If she is angry,

it means she wants to come back.

But after teaching you a lesson.

But even if the wife leaves

what difference does it make?

Let her go.

The world doesn't come to an end.

If someone old leaves the world,

someone new enters.

Best of luck. God bless you.

Let it be

Let her do whatever she wants to.

She is no longer related to me anyway.

He might be just a friend.

There's no use asking

If I ask,

she will say he's her friend.

It's not like she will accept it.

Forget it. You can't be

bothered about the whole world.

You better live your own life

lf l ask her whom she was with,

she says I am suspicious.

She wants a divorce.

I will give her 5-7 divorces.

You can divorce her later.

First, do the job in hand.

This is where I have

been going wrong so far.

I have been only concentrating

on work until now.

I kept working hard and slogging.

I kept paying the mortgages.

I kept paying the bills.

Why are you wearing the gloves

Whom are you going to operate on?

- Check the wiring.

- Okay.

Tell me something, sir.

If I couldn't give time at home because

of work then what is the problem?

I think one shouldn't

get married at all.

What say?

Don't cross wire the

fitting in your fit of anger.

Don't talk about work.

It is my bread and butter.

I survive because of this.

My job is always perfect.

Sharp. Very Sharp-

Amazing Great.

Do you want to check it, sir?

Yes

Let's go.

100 dollars, sir.

What? Can't you change it a little?

I can only change the flow.

Do you want me to change it?

Here you go.

- Let's go.

- Coming Let's go.

Bro! Bro! Bro!

You took money from

me just yesterday.

I don't want money.

What do I need for?

Then?

- Are you divorcing your wife?

- Yes.

Then she will be available, right?

What do you mean?

I mean, if you fix her up with me..

I will get permanent residency.

How?

She will stay in the family.

It will be your house.

You can do whatever you please.

There will be no problem from my end.

Whenever you want to meet Manveer.

Whenever you want.

You can do whatever you want.

- Just one condition.

- I want to take divorce from here..

...and not revenge.

You shouldn't be so courageous

The village is yet to set

up and the beggars are already here

- Bro! Bro!

- Yes.

At least pay me

You can take it tomorrow.

And then why do you

want to be permanent?

Getting married will

only make you impermanent.

She will keep insulting

you before others.

If you ever talk about this

again then I'll pull your ears.
