be independent...but no..

..she surrendered

herself in my service.

So what's wrong with that?

Everything is wrong!

Throwing away your identity..your

knowledge..respect..brain..

...in the fire while taking the seven

vows and then leading your life...

...well that is a Low IQ decision.

And I don't want

Piku to take this decision.

But brother, don't say like that

today, on sister's birthday at least.

When she was alive,

she was not happy...

...wheh she was dying she was hot happy and

how even after dying she ls lsh't happy...

See... That's what I mean...

You're really insensitive dad.

Piku.. she was my wife..

I can say anything.

But she loved you..

I also loved her..and still do..

Then why are you criticising mom?

Because I am a critical person..

...brutal and honest.

I am entitled to think

whatever I want to about her...

...but that doesn't mean

that I don't love her...

This shirt that I am wearing...

..she gifted me on my birthday...

...so I am wearing it for her today...

Piku find a right man..and get married.

Leaving your father's home after getting

married and living in another man's house...

...taking care of that

new one...how foolish...

I gave birth to you...didn't l?

- Yes.

No tell me...l gave birth to you.

Yes Dad.

I never left you and went

away...so now I am your child..

You do the same.

I completely agree with

Bhaskor da's philosophy.

God knows how did my sister

tolerate you for all these years.

I don't know..no wonder she died

early..you only must've given her BF.

I give BP to you to Piku,

even to Srivastava, did you all die?

Would you like some Ice cream?

Obviously..

why I did I get it then?

Oh just ignore what Piku

says...She doesn't mean it...

Fine I am giving these bills to the accounts

department...just get the payment released.

Of course...by the

way how's your mother?

Don't even know how

I was born in that family...

...just waiting to get out of there...

...anyway tell your partner to mend her

ways or get used to travelling in a Metro.

Why don't you tell her?

Piku..

Piku..

Hi..

- All well?

Yeah.

I know because of my drivers...

Look its fine..

I don't have time for

all this discussion...

So when should I come?

For what?

- To discuss this driver issue...

...you've had a word with Syed, right?

Yeah but.

So then its fine...

See you..

Bye.

You need to be a

bit easy with Piku...

...I am really worried for her.

Oh...then why did you get married

thrice? If you were so worried..

Excuse me?

After Piku's mother passed away,

Piku needed you..

...so I should've shifted here

with Eisha in your house...

...gotten married to you...

...just because my sister

was no more?

Hah! Only you can have

such idiotic thoughts.

Piku and Eisha..were

never your priority...

All I am saying is that

and that is very sad..

ls this why you don't like me?

No I've enough reasons

to not like you...

...but don't you feed this marriage

nonsense in Piku's mind, don't.

Grand Pa doesn't want to meet you...

...tell him I am not here to

discuss the selling of Kolkata house...

...then why are you here?

to know the condition of my stomach?

Good evening dada, how are you?

Actually I met a builder yesterday.

He is ready to negotiate...

...so I spent my own money

for the flight ticket...

...just to come and meet you..

You know my decision...

Dada, try and understand.

There is no need to discuss

the same topic again and again...

Go!

- It's a golden opportunity...

...super deal..all these things must

be done while you're still here...

...then you can peacefully...

Listen Budhan...

- Yes Grand Pa.

Hope you haven't

made tea for him yet?

I am about to...

No need...no need..

Just shut the door when

this man leaves...

...and don't open it

if he comes back again...

Irritating man.

Oh that's an insult!

I made so much of effort

to negotiate with the builder...

...is this how you treat me'?

I'll tell Piku didi...she's practical

and will dispose off your house...

Yeah fine...go ahead...

I rang the bell for an hour...

Useless old man...wasted my time.

126-88.

It is normal.

How are you respected sir?

Very serious. BP is normal.

This is not a joke Piku.

Please sit.

Greetings ma'am..

That idiot Nobendu, he again came last night

to discuss the selling of Kolkata house...

I will not sell that house..

That old house is a pain!

- What?

Pain!

I have told you before... l

will not sell CHAMPA KUNJ!

This year I will go to KolkataL.

I have decided..end of discussion!

Fine then end this discussion.

Tell Nobendu not to come again...

What's there to get so affected...

Affected?

Of course I'll be...

I am an emotional man...

If you were emotional...my

sister would've been happy.

Listen you Dutta sisters...

I know your habit of blame game...

...and I worry..my Piku

is also becoming like one of you..

...what your Banerjis are like,

well I also know that.

That Mont Bane,

your Aunt.

Piku...whole day she roams around in

the house in just a flimsy night gown...

...that too without a Bra!

Really Aunty?!

- Even you do the same.

Hey...shut up... I only do

that when I am alone at home!

Anyways...what's the point in getting

BF checked 100 times in a day...

...whatever this Nobendu came

and said and you started panicking?

These are all age related problems,

what's so abnormal in it?

But what if my BP shoots up?

Everyone has some issue or

the other in their lives...

...just for a day if you haven't crapped,

there isn't any need for this drama!

Nothing has happened to you; you are

just simply going through menopause...

...even men go through menopause.

Oh ignore what she's saying...

One minute, menopause, me?

No way...here take

a look..he's Asaako.

He cycled even at the age of 99...

...died just last week...

How did he die?

Hear-t attack, cancer, brain damage?

Nothings written here...

He who cycles even at the age of 99,

what can he suffer from?

Hey!

Stop stop stop...

Is this your cycle?

- Yes sir.

I want to take a small round.

sir..

Sir, I'll be late...

Oh no!

- Wait wait wait.

Be careful.

Just a few minutes more...

I need to go to other houses too sir.

Yeah I know...its okay...

Didi will scold...

Don't push...l am trying to balance...

- Careful...

Hey don't push...it'll turn...

Careful...

What...

Sanju is coming to have a talk...

...go change your clothes

or go to the stand...

Why what's wrong with these clothes?

...and in any case he's not

coming to take you back with him.

Look what he's saying mom?

At least we can ask for a settlement?

Well he's already left you

so what are you going to settle?

Now earn, live your

life respectfully.

You're just frustrated and

you don't want even me to be happy...

If you were so worried

about your happiness then...

...why did you steal your mother-in-lavws

diamond ring and give it to mom?

It wasn't your

ring...that she stole...

...what does he have anyways...
