On his return, Shekhar is surprised to find out that the Zamindar's son is ready to marry his sister. His mother tells him that the Zamindar's daughter Sweety loves him from their childhood days. The Zamindar had approached his mother to fix the marriage but she told him that she cannot fix her son's wedding until her daughter is married.

he loves you, he'll keep you happy

I don't want to be happy.

I will marry only Shekhar

Shekhar is not to be found, Nisha.

He has betrayed you and vanished

Nisha

What are you doing?

- Shekhar? You are back?

Papa is forcing me to marry Vicky

You always desired to marry me off

with great pomp and splendour, Papa

Of course, I will marry but only

the one I like

Shekhar, we are marrying right now

Right now? Listen to me

I won't hear a thing

Yes son, come and marry her

What are you saying, Madan?

You yourself had fixed this marriage

Yes, I did. And now I'm calling it off

Please son, marry her now

What nonsense, uncle! How is

that possible? I came to explain things

I want to say something.

- I don't want to hear a thing

Nisha, your problem is

you never lent me a ear

I'll count only till three.

- You are educated

At least count till hundred.

- One!

Now how do I explain?

Come over here, we need to talk

Two!

- Damn

Mr Chelaramani, reason with her!

- I can't. Why don't you give in?

Son, you know how stubborn she is.

She'll shoot herself. Please agree

How can she shoot herself?

Listen to what I have to say

I can't marry you.

- What? Why not?

You love me, don't you?

- I do, but I must talk to you

She's going to shoot herself.

- Nisha, don't do it, I say

Three!

- No!

Yes!

- Yes

Yes?

- No! No, please

No?

Yes, yes

The garland, son

The garland

Come to your senses, Shekhar

He's reeling.

- Get onions

What are you saying? Why didn't you

tell us before the wedding?

What do you mean? Wasn't I trying

to say something then?

She held a gun at her temple

and you forced me to marry her

I was stunned

Uncle, what's going to

happen of me now?

I'll take care of everything, son.

But don't tell Nisha anything now

I never wish to tell her. But if things

are cleared on the nuptial night

all the other nights go smooth.

- No, no

Uncle, please tell her everything.

- No, son

Look son, Nisha never got love.

As a kid, she lost her mother

ind I was always caught up in business

- I understand

She only has your love.

;he can share everything but your love

I know.

- Then why are you sitting here?

Go she is waiting for you.

- Please take care of everything

I will take care of everything

- Can't find conviction in you, Mr Ran

What are you saying? Day or night,

I'll manage everything

I'll manage the days and nights, you

take care of the problem. Smart Alec

What is he saying?

- I'll manage your days and nights

Rao, until I tell Nisha

this must remain between us

Nobody will know, sir

You have this strange habit of

maintaining a diary

You just said nobody must find out,

and you are putting it on paper?

Vicky?

What are you doing here?

- This isn't right, Nisha

I wanted to marry you

and take you away

But you never mind,

it happens

I went home empty handed

But I shall have you, Nisha.

- Are you in your senses, Vicky?

Yes, I am in my senses!

- Stop it, Vicky

Stop it!

- You belong to me. Only me

Nisha, you are mine, you can't belong

to anyone else

What are you doing?

- Shut up

Where to?

Back off, or I'll shoot!

- Really? I'll bomb you

if you touch my wife.

- I'll shoot you

Uncle

- Papa!

Stop, swine!

- Shekhar

I need to tell you something

Stop! Don't step forward

Nobody comes here, officer!

Else, I'll blast the gas station

I'll blast it!

Don't step forward!

I'll shoot

No!

No Vicky, no! No

Sweety, how long will you wait

for him here?

When he returns, he'll come

straight home, won't he?

He used to come once in a fortnight or

a month, but this time he's an ass

He's a fool. One doesn't

forget his wife like this

No mother, he won't forget me

I mean, he won't forget us

I feel he's in trouble

that's why he's not coming

You will manage daddy's business

from now on

This seat belongs to you now.

- What's the need to do business?

We have property that can feed

seven generations

What about the labourers and their

families who depend on our business?

We can't let them starve.

- You are right

But what do I tell the one who

employed me in my bad times?

How can I desert him?

- He can employ someone else

You don't understand, Nisha.

He depends a lot on me

If I quit, the showroom will shut down.

And there are other things too

how do I explain?

- Not a word

You are the Managing Director now.

Mr Rao, help him out

But Nisha, try

- Be seated please

Look

Show me

What's your problem?

It's a business worth millions

and you are worried about that job.

- Mr Rao, you don't understand

I'm a writer. What about my ambition?

- Everything will be fine

Use our files to write your

movie scripts, no one will find out

What happens to our business then?

- I'm here. Don't worry, I'll manage

You mean I won't have to work?

- No. At the end of the month

you will check the accounts

and sign some cheques, that's it

Mr Rao, how do I repay your favour?

Just sign my salary cheques

You are very practical

I've smiled after a long time.

Pray that

there's no fresh trouble

Hold this

What's the matter, Sweety?

Are you all right?

I'm fine, mother.

- Then?

Is it true, Sweety?

Thanks a million, Lord.

MY; m?

I'll write a letter saying

he's going to be a father soon

Just watch. He's going to

come dancing here

"My land produces gold and pearls"

Congratulations, Mr Shekhar.

You are going to become a father

Thank you very much

Congratulations?

But how do you know?

Strange. I just examined Misha

You mean Nisha too?

Nisha too?

What does that mean?

Who else is pregnant?

- Bye. See you again

Thank you for the news.

- Hello?

You are raving.

Who else can be pregnant?

Then why did you say "Nisha too"?

- No, I said "Nisha hee"

What does "Nisha hee" mean?

- It means hee-hee-hee

You cut short my laughter. Silly

You are too much, Shekhar!

- Too?

Me too? Or only me?

- Only you

Honey, I'm very happy today.

But something worries me

Worry?

- Yes. You know

destiny has once again heaped

dual responsibilities on me

What do you mean?

- I only worried about my wife and job

But now I'm worried

about my wife as well as my baby

And as you know, when responsibilities

increase, one has to work harder

run here and there

Reform, swine!

What did you say?

- I said

sometimes here sometimes there

"My Prince Charming is hopeless"

"I'm his wife"

"He uses excuses to stay away"

"He is a liar"

"My beloved is hopeless"

"He always has alibis up his sleeves"

"He forgets his way home"

"He's such a madcap"

"Come home soon, my love,

I'm growing rather restless"

"Else, this Punjabi girl will die"

"Without 'you,

these nights seem longer"

"When will they grow shorter?"

"My Prince Charming is hopeless"

"My beloved is hopeless"

"Where are you lost?

You have no idea what I'm worth"

"If I am upset,

I hope you will pacify me?"

"Madcap, madcap"

"For not coming home,

he makes a thousand excuses"

"My beloved"

"is hopeless"

"I'm his wife"

"He uses excuses to stay away"
