compared to your love?"

"You and I will love

each other so much"

"Anyone who hears will say..."

"Who has lived forever?

Who lives forever?"

"Love it was,

love it will be"

"In your heart,

in my heart..."

"let nothing remain unsaid"

"Time flows like a river"

"Let go of the riverbank,

lest the waters pass us by"

As the girls's father, If I lodge

a complaint with the police...

you might land in jail

That's exacty what I intend.

If our families refuse to...

approbate our love,

let the world decide

At 5pm today, your engagement to

Monishka will be amounced officially

The papers for the merger of

the two companies will be signed

Not today, I'm going nowhere

What if I tell you...

Your mother is calling

For the families Malhotra and Rai,

today is a historical day

Alongwith the merger

of two great corporates...

two families are also

entering wedlock

After this ring ceremony,

our children Ronit and Monishka...

will commit themselves

to a married life together

Question to the chairman

of our company, Mr JKM

To whom goes the credit

for this historical day?

Let me come over to you

Tell us

Go on

Credit goes to all of us.

- All of us? Or just one?

One...?

I mean, all of us

A person, without whom, this evening

wouldn't have been made possible?

Possibly...

Raj Singh Puri

Applause

The man who has tied two corporates,

two children together

A few words for this man

Not like that.

Say it with an open heart

I'm saying it with an open heart

My brother wants to honour

Raj Singh Puri

Very magnanimous of him

to honour a small man like myself

I consider the honour of his family

to be my family honour

I recall a few lines

my wife once wrote

"When you enter life,

when you leave..."

"when you come, bring, and leave

behind, when you leave..."

"memories, memories and memories"

Stop Uncle Raj

Stop

Just a while longer

After everyone has made

great speeches...

the audience is uplifted

For the first time today,

my mother has encouraged me

She called me home,

and she told me...

"Son, speak out in public

if it's the truth you speak"

She told me not to hide,

not to resort to lies

These people who addressed you...

all of them lied to you

They lied blatanty

Because this is a stage,

a public place

Even Satan speaks with Godlike

dignity from a public stage

Yes son, you're right

But you are the society,

the public-at-large

Remains to be seen which amongst you

supports the truth

I have a few questions

Each of you has the merger report,

one side red, the other green

If I'm wrong, say I'm wrong.

If I'm right, say I'm right

Don't you say yes,

if I'm lying

Now give me a few answers

What is he upto?

- It's a public trial

My first question

Apologising...

Apologising for fooling the public

when one's heart is filled with venom?

Honour. Family honour

Turning a blind eye

to the fact...

that greed is the cornerstone

of family honour?

Culture is the cornerstone of family

honour, Uncle Raj. Not loads of money

Now, let's turn to a love story

A girl who is in love...

sacrifices her love because of a word

she has given to her father

Is that right?

Or wrong?

And the boy accedes to his father and

he sells himself on the marketplace

And his family will force him

to marry a rich heiress...

to jack up share valuation

So, this story ends with

the triumph of money. Love loses

For the happiness of their children,

parents who would sell themselves

So I heard. Today I see parents selling

their children for their ambitions

Is this betterment?

Is this progress?

Emotions, love, friendships,

relationships, culture...

the mean nothing? Nothing?

What gospel is this? What gospel

are our elders trying to teach us?

All right...

all right

In a while from now, I'll put

this ring on Monishka's finger

And I'll sell myself to

this company and Monishka

But my question is...

will the wearing of a diamond,

or the performance of some rituals...

wed two souls?

Is the union complete?

Speak

Give me an answer

Am I to marry for the sake

of the merger?

Or should I marry the one I have

given my heart...

and my life?

Speak

Give me an answer

I shall tell you

Strange! You camot answer

Ronit's simple question?

Because you are a part

of the Globex merger?

Are you shying away from the truth

under influence of the high and mighty?

The truth is marriages are meant

to follow hearts, not mergers

Ronit is right. Diamonds and rituals

don't make a marriage

Marriage is a meeting

of hearts and souls

I ask Ronit's true love

to come on stage...

and in the presence

of all of us here...

let her give Ronit this ring

Isha isn't here

Today when you wish to insult your

families, you might find...

Sanya and myself to be part of this.

But not Isha. She has left

Where is Isha?

This merger isn't happening.

For the first time...

these kids have shown me

how good and truthful they are

And what rogues we are,

you and I in particular

The worst of scoundrels that they are,

yet they understand what...

the children mean.

And you are still wondering?

Why did you leave me?

You tell me to face the truth

and you run away?

Nalini told me something was about to

happen on stage. She didn't call you?

I left before he could do that.

- Why?

You always said that a girl who isn't

accepted by her husband's family...

rarely finds respect

There's more to life than love,

there are other relationships...

the aunt, the sister-in-law,

the daughter-in-law

My child...

for the first time, I have seen the

world through the eyes of my children

We rise in life,

yet we become so mean.

And I have risen to such heights...

that I camot ask to be forgiven.

But this much I shall ask of you...

to marry into my family.

If you do...

I will understand that

I have been forgiven

Go...

he has come to take you away

Go

Raj Singh's story doesn't end here.

He stayed a friend to the children...

to the very end, till the time

he became a grandfather

Where are you Supriya?

Supriya is coming out

with me for a walk

Then she will come home,

she will do her stretch-outs

then she will take a bath

Then she will say the prayers,

then I'll take her to school

And this evening, we're going

somewhere far away

Where are you, my child?

- I'm here, grandpa

Where's Avantika, your Mummy?

- Everyone left me all alone

And they went out for a ride.

Everyone? But I'm here with you,

your grandpa

Grandpa, will you be my best friend?

Like "Papa-friend"?

Do you hear that?

This one too...?

All right, give me your hand.

From now on, I'm your...

"Grandpa-friend"

Let's take a walk

One minute, let me take

my dear wife's keys

When did Mummy-Papa get married?

- 6 years ago

Ronit Uncle and Nisha Aunty?

- Been four years

When are you getting me

married off?

Tell me

"Loves..."

"griefs..."

"tales..."

"words"

"Words are forgotten"

"Memories return"

"Memories"
