What happened?

- Nothing. Stay away

Why are you running?

- l'm wearing a track suit

How long will you run?

The boss and his wife might be late...

You will get tired.

Go inside, and get two glasses

of chilled water, now

Go on

Come, he won't do anything.

- He should be tied up

Welcome Natu-bhai. Greetings

Hi there... well, in a track suit

This is nothing. My mother-in-law

would wear a swimsuit

For a jog?

- ln the swimming pool

When my father-in-law was alive,

she used to wear a crimson swimsuit

After he died...

- She stopped swimming

She started wearing white swimsuits.

Old-fashioned people, you see

But she didn't stop swimming, health

conscious as she was, unlike you

Why do you drag me in?

- Look at your face. Weary

All for driving your son out.

- Nothing of that sort, l'm fine

How was your Australian trip?

Australia...great!

My God fantastic

lndia is just nothing. Even

little children speak English there

Shall we go and meet Pooja?

- Why not? Let's go

One minute

Mangoes for Aditya. Don't tell him

that l gave them, or he won't eat

Tell him you got it

This is nothing, don't worry.

- l didn't tell you anything

l'll explain to him

Don't you worry

But Natu-bhai...

l'll handle everything

l'm telling you

You definitely going to win

Mummy!

Daddy!

How are you, Mom?

- l'm fine, dear

Mangoes!

Let me show you my kitchen, come on

ls everything okay,dear?

Dad, please come inside... please sit

Can you explain how

one must sit there?

Well...

- Who do you think you are?

How dare you put my daughter up

in such a filthy place?

Please come inside...

Yes?

- Pack Pooja's bags

But daddy l...

You eloped, l didn't complain

This is nothing. Sangeeta ran off

twice after marriage!

That's a reason to console myself.

But there's a limit to everything

Aditya, at least think of the baby

That's the reason l toil

day and night, dad

After the contest...

- After you win, right?

The father and son are at loggerheads.

Why must my daughter bear the brunt?
