He holds on to his Ideals

even when living with the poor.

Son... Manav...

Cold drink?

See that girl standing there?

- With the grey scarf? - Yes.

- Take this to her.

This was possible thanks to you.

Soft drinks have been

sent for you.

We don't want it.

Excuse me...

- What happened?

- Give this to me.

- You take another one.

- Why? - I'm thirsty!

Hold on.

What are you doing here?

Come and meet the minister.

I'll be back in a minute.

I asked you to come to the stage

thrice. Couldn't you hear me?

- Come on.

- Yes.

Come on.

Now have you understood?

Yes, I've understood.

We'll all leave for

Bombay tomorrow.

I knew you'd come.

And that you'd come here.

Now tell me that

you don't love me.

Say it. Go on.

Why are you silent?

It's nothing.

I know what you're thinking.

What?

The same that happens

in normal Hindi films.

A city bred boy comes and

falls for the mountain girl.

Then he leaves her and goes away.

Then he never returns.

But... this will never happen.

This is my truth not a film.

It's my life.

Of course there

will be resistance.

I'll have to fight my family.

And you with your family.

But it will work out.

I must now leave.

Manav, listen...

I was embroidering this for you...

But this is mine!

Yes but now it's ours.

See...

What does Manavsi mean?

It means... Like Manav.

Like Manav.

Thank you very much. Do

meet us if you come to Bombay.

Yes and you must take care of

your health. Understood brother?

You too.

- Okay...

- Good bye.

- See that temple?

- Yes.

It is said that the God of

that temple grants everyone's wish.

I don't go to temples.

I've never been to a temple.

I won't stop you if

you want to go there.

- I don't understand.

- When I was 11, my mum died.

She always told me one thing...

The Lord resides in man's heart.

Here. In his subconsciousness.

After all what is God?

A belief, the truth.

Every man sees him in some form.

Some in a book, others in idols.

Some in the flame of a lamp.

I see God in myself. That's all.

Your love too is a belief in me.

Yes, it's just a trust.

To remind you of that trust, I got

you something from the temple shop.

It's cheap. Made of stones.

But 100% true.

Come. Let's tie it

around your neck.

Who gave this necklace to you?

Who gave it??

You love your Dad a lot,

don't you?

- You love him. Don't you?

- Father, wait...

Before you say anything...

Or misunderstand, I want

to tell you the truth.

- Manav gave this to me.

- Why?

Because he loves me a lot.

And you...?

I too...

Are you in your senses?

Do you know who he is?

They are very wealthy people.

We have nothing in common!

But Manav and I do.

- Not with those rich people.

- This is impossible!

This is impossible!

This is Manav from Bombay.

- Father...

- What's wrong?

Why do you sound scared?

Is the situation tense?

Father... Mansi...

So father has found out?

Yes...

All right. Give the line to him.

Father, it is Manav.

I'm sorry I couldn't

meet you before leaving.

I wanted to talk to you.

But I couldn't.

I'm glad you found out that I...

Are you listening?

Yes. Go on.

I wanted to say the promise

I made to Mansi before I left...

...that is firm.

I will marry her.

I've committed myself to her.

And I will keep it.

You are worried because

you are her father.

Scolding her... in your shoes

I too would probably do the same.

Don't worry. If God is in your

heart, the truth is resolute.

Everything will be fine.

Your Dad is an artist.

Who can understand love

better than an artist?

Call me later.

Where have you been?

I've been calling you for so long.

- But you don't answer.

- Another twist in Manav's love story

Mansi's father has found out

that Mansi loves me.

I mean we're in love.

Forget about love and

look at this photograph.

She's the girl Deepmohan

and Shaku chose for you.

But I told her father clearly.

And I'll stand by my commitment.

But Jagmohan has something

else planned for you.

This girl belongs to the

Kurasia family, Nishita.

I too approve of her.

The girl has class.

After hearing my story too,

you show no sympathy.

It's pack up for all these girls.

I'll have sympathy

when you obey me.

You will have to marry

the girl I approve of.

No, grandma. This is not fair.

You're putting me in a tight corner!

There's this drama going on and

you're initiating another one!

You're my grandma. How

can you do this to me?

First take a look at the picture.

Don't fall in love.

Rise, my child.

- What are you doing here?

- The girls are worried about you.

I went to call Prabha.

- Bombay?

- Bombay.

I have just one sister

Prabha in Bombay.

Yes. What did she advise?

What will she say? She said

bring Mansi over to Bombay.

She herself will talk to her.

Then she will find an

answer to this problem.

She also said to come straight,

not to inform brother Jaggi.

I'm worried.

Will you go to Bombay?

I can't spend one night here.

I will have to go to Bombay.

I'm glad you came to

Bombay under this pretext.

- Where is Ashwin?

- I divorced him.

- Why?

- He deserved it.

But I have something

from him. My Tunno!

After listening to your story...

I have reached one conclusion.

You must go to Manav Mehta's

house at 7 in the morning.

And shock them.

I said sir does not

meet anybody today.

Tell him I have come from Chamba.

I'm a close friend of his!

I don't have orders to telephone

or wake up anyone before 9.30.

Take a seat on this bench.

I'll call at 9.30 or 10.

But we won't sit here!!

I'm his friend!

Only his friends

come here. Sit down.

Take a seat.

Father, let's sit.

A Tarababu has come from Chamba.

- Make him sit out.

- All right madam.

Come and sit here.

Sit down.

- We won't sit here.

- Why?

Can I call up and talk to them?

To the master or their son?

The master is sleeping

and his son is not at home.

He has gone to his grandma's

house. Since last night. Sit.

Come here.

Do you know him?

Yes and he too knows me.

Do you see? He knows us!

I'll set you right later!

Shake hand, pal.

I'm sure he'll go

and tell Jagmohan.

Lock him in the room!

Creating a nuisance

since morning!

I'll go and talk to him.

Deep...

Go inside.

- We have come.

- Tarababu, when did you come?

When? We're here since 7.30 AM!

That rascal of a guard!

Didn't he tell you?

We've been sitting for 6 hours!

And tell me where is Jagmohan?

He's getting dressed. Special

guests have come from London.

He meets them over lunch.

Please be seated.

I'll inform him.

Make them sit in the shade.

Come and sit here.

Would you like

some tea or water?

- Get us some water.

- Right.

You've made them sit here?

They are not non entities.

He is Tarababu from Chamba.

A dear friend of brother.

He's come from a distance.

Make them sit in the lounge.

In air conditioned comfort.

- You came without an appointment.

- Sister, we...

You've broken the rules

of this family

In this house, no one can meet

anyone without an appointment.
