He is just a friend.
I like it, when I am with him.
I forget everything, when I am with him.
Okay, so what's the problem?
I ask myself this same question every day.
And the answer is, I don't know.
Abhi, I am just your friend.
And will always remain so.
Poonam, listen.
Okay,
I will go on a date.
And what if I still miss you?
It's hernia.
- What? - But listen.
Don't tell this anyone, okay.
[Harry] I can't share this anyone.
Can you please, come right now? Please.
Ana has made me swear that I won't tell anyone.
- He has hernia. - [Guri laughs]
Who is going to come here, to take care of you?
[Ananya] Who is going to play your Florence Nightingale?
Whose number should I dial?
I will wait for you.
[Ananya exhales]
Keep waiting.
Forever.
[Harry gasps]
[Title Montage]
I don't know,
should I get angry, or should I talk.
Or should I not just be bothered at all.
Ana, honestly tells me everything,
she is so honest with me.
And bloody Prince Harry, keeps calling Ana, all the time.
I laughed it off, in front of her.
But I don't know how to handle this.
After all, he is just her boss.
- [Rohit] Good morning. - Hi.
You didn't wake me up.
You are having breakfast alone.
Yes, you were sleeping, you looked tired so,
I did not wake you up.
So, Harry was saying something yesterday night.
How is he?
Is he fine now?
Yes, today is his surgery.
You didn't go?
No, Rohit. I am here with you.
[Man 1] Sir, omelette?
My breakfast is over, give madam.
No, thank you.
Okay ma'am.
Okay,
I have an important investment meeting.
I am getting late.
- Talk to you later. - Bye.
[Phone ringing]
- Hi. - Hello, my speed dial girl.
So not funny Harry.
We will discuss about this after your surgery.
I am going inside the operation theatre.
[Harry] This is the last call I am making.
If something happens to me, then.
Nobody has ever died of hernia, since 1872.
Well that's heartening to know.
By the way, I felt, you would be here.
Well, I didn't.
[Harry] Yes, of course. I know.
Will see you on the other side. Yes.
Bye.
Poonam is out since morning.
Poor girl.
She must be upset.
She has fasted for 20 years on Karva Chauth.
[Dadi] Every Karva Chauth, she would wake up by 4.
She would fast for the whole day, traditionally and sincerely.
Honestly, I did not appreciate then.
And look today,
son has left me,
but daughter in law is taking good care of me.
That's why I am telling you.
Think about her now.
[Veera] Let her live her life.
But, when have I stopped her?
Poonam is not that type.
Honestly I am feeling very sad for her.
Here, we are going to celebrate...
...Bani's first Karva Chauth with pomp and show.
[Dadi] And there, though she has a husband,
he doesn't belong to her.
[Dadi] I feel she has to gone somewhere,
to lighten her sorrows.
I am very happy today.
I will never be able to forget today's Karva Chauth.
Or else, every year the same chaotic celebration.
Stay hungry the whole day.
For a man, who comes back in the evening,
and gives you a gift and disappears.
Would do you get in return? Nothing.
[Sheena laughs]
Okay, so you want revenge?
Revenge?
I am not even thinking about it.
You know, Twinkle Khanna has absolutely written correctly...
...about Karva Chauth in her book.
[Poonam] I am very happy today.
Today I want to celebrate, not Karva Chauth,
but National cheat day.
Cheat day?
Because Rohit cheated you?
Okay, by the way,
if not for your ex, you could have fasted for the future sex.
No, not for anyone.
I am never going to fast anymore.
Never, ever.
And for your information.
He is my friend.
There is no sex involved in it.
This is not a Tinder scene.
In fact he is going on a date today.
Hmm.
No babe, it's the opposite scene here.
No to burgers, but yes to sex, vex and those pecks.
It's over, should I order more?
Are you pregnant?
[Poonam laughs] No possibility at all.
[Sheena laughs]
So there's this one,
- and this one. - That white one.
This one.
[Rohit] Yes, even I thought so.
The other one looks a bit like a Politician's dress,
wait let me. Turn the screen around.
How sweet you are looking ya.
[Ananya on video call] Oh, thank you.
Hey I sent you some messages,
you didn't read, you haven't replied.
Are you fasting today or not?
[Ananya on video call] Wait, one second
I haven't checked my phone,
so I haven't replied to your messages.
But fast?
Karva Chauth? Are you serious Rohit?
Since last 3 years on Karva Chauth,
you have been feeding me prawn rolls.
With your own hands.
And now, you want to break that sweet tradition of ours.
Stupid.
[Ananya on video call] By the way, I have a better plan.
Today we both will get together and eat prawn rolls.
[Ananya] Look into each other's eyes.
The moon will be behind,
and the night of Karva Chauth will turn romantic.
Yes, I get it.
I will come home as soon as Bani breaks her fast.
Perfect plan, I too have a lot of work.
Vandy too hasn't come.
I think she must be hung over,
after all, she was partying with Cherry last night.
Hey, what are you doing?
Is something else on your mind?
Food. On my mind and on my table.
I have to go, bye, too much work.
Bye. I will see you soon.
[Rohit gasps]
Hey, to gift Bani's mother in law, fill up the plate...
...with lots of dry fruits.
But where is Bani?
[Dadi] Call her. It's time for storytelling.
[Poonam burps]
You take rest, I will call her.
Are you fasting?
Why now?
No, because, last time you were with Sheena,
so did not ask.
Yes, but I got all your forwards of Karva Chauth.
Honestly, I didn't really miss it.
[Poonam] I ate heartily.
Breakfast and lunch too.
And I am famished on an empty stomach.
That too for our heartless husbands.
Who fasts repents and who doesn't repents too.
But eats heartily.
I am telling you, eat it.
I won't tell granny or Arya. Okay.
No, Nicky, let it be. I can't.
Even dad has told me, I have to fast this time.
[Bani] Even mom, used to fast.
So I need to carry out the custom.
I have an idea.
Let's do an experiment.
You eat a pakora,
and if by chance Arya pops in. Then... [Tongue clicking]
[Sheena] Bani, they are calling you downstairs.
I don't know, to save your husband's ass.
[Laughs] Pray for his long life.
The plate custom is happening, go.
What's in your plate?
- [Nicky] Paneer Pakora. - Awesome.
And you both will eat here.
[Bani & Sheena laughs]
- Bye - Okay bye.
Are you sure, it will be at 7.25?
How do you know? Is it written anywhere?
Listen Jassi, at least trust me today.
- Email all of them okay. - Yes sir.
I have just been googling since morning.
[Jassi] Nobody has died by googling.
But people do die, of starvation.
Hey you are not going to die.
Haven't you heard a camel can survive in the desert...
...without water for 10 days? Isn't it.
So, am I camel?
No baby, sorry baby.
I love you baby.
Don't tell me this crap.
Listen be there on time.
Okay.
Poonam, how many rounds, do we need to go around?
3 or 7?
Mother, how many rounds? 3?
What's wrong Poonam, you forgot in 2 years?
Its 7.
Okay, hold your gifts.
[Song playing]
- Hello son. - Hi mother.
You are looking very nice.
Where is Ananya?
I had called her.
Called her here, the auspicious time is of 7.
Mother, why did you call her?
Why did you call her here?
What do you mean, why you called her?
All the guests are here, Bani's in laws are here,
and won't it be odd?
You are here, and she will wait for you there, to break her fast.
It is the fast of Karva Chauth. The fast...
She is here.
Greetings mummy.
Bless you. Remain happy.
Where is your plate?
The story telling is over, but don't worry I will tell you.
She is not fasting.
[Gasps] I thought it was Bani's Karva Chauth.
So we have been called for dinner,
- So I... - By the way Mother,
to fast for Karva Chauth or not is not a big deal.
So I had told her, it's okay if you don't want to.
[Nicky] Hi Ananya.
- How are you? - Good.
Listen, hope you are not fasting.
- No. - It's upstairs.
Okay.
- I'll be back. See you. - I'll just come.
I don't care, if you don't like it.
But can't she do this much.
It was not a big deal.
And what is she trying to prove by not fasting?
Poonam never did this.
People say, a husband's longevity increases by this.
Even emotions have value.
She could have done for that.
She never listen to others, always does as she wishes.
God knows what?
Not to fast for you in front of your friends,
just to prove that I am different from others.
I mean, if all the women can do it, why can't she?
I am not telling her to fast all her life.
I don't understand all this.
Oh,
I think they are judging me.
I don't care.
[Nicky laughs]
Hi Ananya.
I am going to eat something, do you want anything?
Yes, I can eat more. [Laughs]
- I will send. - [Ananya] Sure, thank you.
[Rohit] Pour me, whiskey.
- Hi. - Hi.
- Drink. - No, I will be slaughtered.
All these ladies will kill me.
Why?
You are not fasting.
Seriously?
I am not fasting does that mean I don't love you?
I don't have to fast to prove my love to you.
It's not, what I am saying.
You know, I love you.
Love you too.
Should I share a secret?
There are many ladies here, who are fasting,
but they are not happy.
They are hungry, angry and irritated.
And I don't want to be like that.
- You agree. - Well...
Pour me a whiskey.
- Hi. - Hello.
Guri, what are you doing?
[Tsk-Tsk]
I am dying here by starving for your long life.
And you are having whiskey.
[Guri] So don't fast, who told you to.
Sister in law Ana, too hasn't fasted.
[Guri] At least I would have been saved from your black mail.
And this year if my friend dies,
will sister in law, be responsible for that.
Hey Guri, what are you talking about my husband?
Anyways, worldwide there are many women,
who fast all their lives.
But unfortunately lose their husbands.
You know, look at Veera aunty.
You are right.
Like my uncle who died in 1986.
He was only 48 years.
And my aunt too had fasted all her life for him.
It's a matter of tradition, you know.
Some people believe, some don't.
I don't follow.
I don't wear the vermillion...
...and wear the marital thread on my wrist.
But I have respect for everyone in my heart.
I am not fasting for Karva Chauth.
So, I am hungry.
Some more chaats.
Potato chaat. See you.
See you.
By the way brother Rohit,
Ananya, is very modern in her thinking. Isn't it?
Yes she is.
- Cheers. - Cheers. [Toasting]
What are you doing? I am fasting.
You said, go on a date, so I went.
But guess what?
What?
[Message tone rings]
Wait, I am sending you the picture.
You send yours. She is very pretty.
- Can I click a picture? - Sure.
- [Sheena] You please eat. Please. - [Hmm]
Sorry Jassi,
you are fasting and we are eating Gol Gappe's here.
Doesn't matter,
for my husband's long life I can fast 4 times in a year.
Listen to that, she isn't fasting for me,
she is fasting for Karan Johar.
[Guri] He has glamourized Karva Chauth so much in his movies,
That it has become a fashion. [Guri laughs]
- Shall we go? The moon has risen. - Yes. Let's go,
Leave this and come.
You are going on stuffing, Gol Gappe in her mouth.
Poonam.
[Gasps]
- Hi Rohit. - Hi.
Is there something?
I am calling you since a week. You are not picking up my phone.
Is there a problem?
No. there is no problem.
I was very busy since a week.
[Sheena] Hey guys.
You have to win an award for being the game changer.
[Sheena] Without doing anything you have made,
brother in law very progressive.
Hey, brother in law but you must be missing all this.
Seriously,
you really used it like it,
when Poonam did all this for you.
Yes, I know, it's a matter of tradition.
People who believe,
they follow other who don't, they don't believe.
I am okay either way. Isn't it.
The formula of keeping fast to prove your love. I don't get it.
It's correct,
I have fasted for 22 years, what happened?
And today?
- I'll just go get a drink. - Yes.
Jalebi?
- Yes. - Come.
[Song playng]
Enough, this is the last time.
After this I am not going to do anything.
How romantic is this, isn't it?
Yes right.
Enjoy it B, by next year, you will be habituated.
In your dreams. Huh.
Mother, I need food.
By the way, even I am fasting.
For you.
- Seriously? - Yes.
[Kisses]
You know,
you are a big idiot.
But...
Mother give me food.
[Woman] Okay enough.
[Dadi] Sheena, tell Poonam to serve hot puri's to both of them.
Wow. Nobody is feeding me.
Come sit next to me,
will feed you 3-4 more pakora's.
[Bani] Come on.
Hmm.
So, how is Abhi's date progressing?
No message since 2 hours.
You sent him on a date and now you are getting upset?
I am upset?
Not at all.
Really?
Sheena,
it's not important what I feel.
It's important that Abhi, finds someone for himself.
[Sheena] Please Poonam, nobody is going to give you a medal.
When life is giving you happiness.
[Sheena] Why are you denying it?
It's your right.
[Sheena] To be happy.
Hmm.
- [Song playing on Radio] - [Ananya humming song]
Today many people were surprised.
You did not fast on Karva Chauth.
Even I assumed you would.
You are telling me this the third time.
Means since 3 years of our relationship,
you have not made Karva Chauth a national issue.
[Rohit laughs]
What has changed now?
I know,
but things were different then.
Now, you are my wife. We are married.
So, people expect.
Since you are the wife, you will fast.
But it's all right, I don't really care.
So,
I was just saying?
Okay, I will fast next year.
Look, listen dear,
I am not telling you to fast.
I am not asking you to change.
You are talking about it again and again.
Love you the way you are.
Okay forget it.
Come on, sing a song.
- No. - Please.
Please, sing.
