you should...

Yes, Khatana bhai?

Khatana bhai.

I understand what

you're trying to tell me.

I don't know why I act like this.

I can't seem to control myself.

I don't like it.

I don't even like myself.

Shouldn't I be happy right now?

This is what I wanted.

But happiness is nowhere in sight.

It doesn't exist.

It's like...

only...

as if bugs are biting me from inside.

All the time.

And all the time I'm... like this...

I...

even I...

Stop calling out my name!

How long does it take?

Now do you believe me? This is JJ...

Come, come, let's take a picture.

Photo...

Of course, we need some proof!

Sweety, come on.

Now it's my turn...

Talk to me, at least.

Smile please.

Anybody else wants a photo?

No more pictures?

You guys done?

Should I leave?

Sir...

a five-album contract?

And he can't perform anywhere else.

Sir, isn't that too much?

Fine, don't sign. It's okay.

Sir, sir...

I've decided...

you can stay at home.

Sir, just take a look...

Sir, I agree with

everything you say except...

Om "May auspices chase

away the darkness" swaha

"My life is in your hands" swaha

Om "Agreement can go to hell" swaha

"Dhingra, you've been thrammed" swaha

Such an insult of Mr. Dhingra!

That too of Mr. Dhingra!

"Everything is image,

image is everything" swaha

"You've been humiliated" swaha

"Do what the hell you can" swaha

So, you're finished with Dhingra...

what's next?

Nimbus Records, London.

They want to sign you.

And they will take over the lawsuits.

Why are they asking you?

They are afraid of you.

It's this image you have.

They thought I'm close to you and...

Are you?

What?

Close?

You can't forget her, can you?

Jordan, the Casanova.

The bad boy of music.

Secretly burning in someone's love.

How cute!

It will never happen, Jordan.

I am not Heer.

It's a story.

Front page.

We need to talk.

Not in this condition, Heer.

I have Bone Marrow Aplasia, Jay.

I'm not getting better.

My condition will only worsen.

So, what do you want to do?

You tell me.

I've been unfaithful to you, Jay.

I've crossed the line.

I knew all along I was

doing something wrong.

I knew it every second.

I was trying hard to

stop myself but...

I don't know why...

I don't know what came over me.

So what do you feel about him now?

This feeling will go away.

With time this will all go away.

We'll talk after some time then.

Jordan!

Jordan!

Mandy...

Mandy... Heer's sister?

I need to talk to you.

Where can I meet you?

Hey...

'Wild Youth'!

Hello...

Come on wake up, I'm bored.

You've slept enough.

This shouldn't have happened...

Sorry?

What?

Can you step outside for a second?

Shut the door.

After what happened in Prague...

how dare you come in to my house?

Aren't you ashamed at all?

You will hear from dad.

You'll never come back here again.

Go.

I can't do that.

I know myself.

I will definitely stay with Heer.

Listen...

Heer is not in any condition to

face any more drama, understand?

She can't take even a little tension.

She will collapse.

Precisely!

You know...

nothing will happen to Heer.

Don't worry.

You don't believe me, right?

You think I'm not making any sense?

But you will see.

Mom...

she is dying anyway...

Shut up!

Your family wants to throw

me out but don't you worry...

I will come back.

And before they can come in...

let's have a quick kiss.

Jordan!

Quick... they'll come in...

- Stop it... stay right there.

But we don't have time.

Shut up! Move away!

Listen Heer, I will kiss you,

no matter what you do.

Jordan, don't... I will kill you.

Okay, on your cheek...

Have you lost it?

Come on...

by now we would've done it!

Jordan, I swear... I will...

What happened?

How are you standing?

She's just the same.

But she was on her feet!

She didn't get out of

bed for three weeks.

That's a good thing, right?

But how?

You want to talk to him?

What are you doing, Mandy?

So, that's a no?

Why doesn't he get it?

Hello...

She doesn't want to talk to you.

- Give me the phone.

Listen...

- When will you die?

Hello?

Hello Heer?

- Yes, what?

The doctor said you are dying, right?

So when are you dying?

Even this is a joke?

Not at all, it's serious.

Your factory doesn't

produce blood anymore...

What do you want?

I want to ask you...

if there is a security

alarm system in your house?

Why?

What are you going to do?

Just asking...

The security system in

Prague was very loud.

Even the lights came on immediately.

The whole situation changed.

I had no idea such

security systems existed.

Some really hi-tech stuff.

You shouldn't have stepped out.

Now...

I will have to come to you.

Jordan...

don't do this.

I won't be able to bear it.

I'm doing this?

You said you didn't

want to see me again...

did I try to meet you?

Did I even call you

in the last two years?

I tried not to even think about you.

But what happened?

Here you are...

standing in front of me.

Don't you get it, Heer?

This is something else.

That's bringing you and me together.

We couldn't stay apart, right?

We couldn't.

I'm such a big celebrity, Heer.

I'm a star!

I'm rich and famous...

but I'm only burning inside...

there's a restlessness...

I'm only good with you,

it's that simple.

And it's the same with you.

When I'm not around, you get afflicted

with a life threatening illness...

your body stops producing blood.

I'm dying, Jordan!

Perhaps a few months or...

a year.

After that I'll be dead.

And what if you don't die?

What if nothing happens to you?

Then will you be mine?

Jordan...

can you hug me?

Hello?

What is it?

He's coming...

He's coming...

Heer?

Are you in a hurry?

Hold me closer... tighter!

You are like a guitar.

And these are your

high notes... here...

Her blood count has improved.

See...

And you think this

is because of Jordan?

Do you know what

kind of a person he is?

Virath...

two weeks ago...

Heer didn't even have

the strength to talk.

Despite all our

efforts she was sinking.

Her condition was

getting worse by the day.

Now she goes for a walk...

comes down for breakfast...

and this blood report!

Whatever it is and...

however it might be happening...

you think I'm going to intervene?

Or stop it?

Listen Neena, she may look cheerful

from the outside...

...but internally she is very weak.

Even a little blood loss,

could prove fatal.

You've already said this.

We are taking all the

necessary precautions, right?

Neena please.

Be logical.

There have been greater

miracles in this world, Animesh.

We think we know life...

but life always

manages to surprise us.

Wow, Jordan!

Oh no!

That's what I wondered,

such a big star...

doesn't he have to work?

But every time I ask,

he says "I'm free".

Twelve recordings, six shows and...

a product launch have

been cancelled.

Khatana bhai...

- We've been served two legal notices.

I'm avoiding everyone.

What do I say?

Even I don't know where he is?

For the past month...

his phone has been switched off.
