Lord, look at the mess we made ♪
[sombre song continues]
I knew when days were numbered ♪
Now there's no going back ♪
[sombre song continues]
There's no going back from this ♪
- [Dyuti, in English] How are you, bro?
- Yo!
What's up?
How are you?
All okay?
- [in Hindi] Sort of.
- What's wrong?
[in English] I don't know.
Not my best day, but it's okay.
- Let's talk.
- Let's get a drink.
- I think we need one.
- Of course.
[in Hindi] After talking to Iryna,
I left the house.
[in English] I was suffocating.
I really wanted to talk to someone,
just to change my mood.
You seem very low.
[tense music playing]
Thank you, man.
Thank you.
I gave Iryna the papers my lawyer drafted.
- [in Hindi] What papers?
- [in English] Divorce papers.
[a dramatic beat plays]
How did she react?
She was so emotional,
so devastated.
My lawyer told me clearly
like… once we file it, this is it.
- Yeah.
- They cannot pull it back.
[in Hindi] I never thought
that this would go to divorce.
[in English] But I need my space.
I am moving out.
[Karan] Moving out?
Bro, that's your house.
[Dyuti] I know, bro, but…
I… don't want the kids
to suffer without Mum.
Start from the beginning. What happened?
I spoke to Mum. Uh…
- To Mum?
- Yeah, it just fucked my head, bro.
Okay, just… breathe. Breathe.
[sombre music playing]
I basically asked her
what does she think about…
- Iryna?
- [Dyuti] Yeah.
She really broke my heart,
talking about the kids,
and how we both… are not giving
enough time and love to the kids.
[in Hindi] I think
because Aunty's at home…
- Yes.
- [in English] And she's seeing everything.
- Of course, she sees everything.
- [in Hindi] So, what did your mum say?
[in English] That either
Iryna goes to a therapist,
or get a lawyer and finish it.
[tense music playing]
This coming from an Indian mom?
It was a shock.
Because Indian mums will never…
never ask you to part ways.
I felt like this conversation was like
an eye-opener and an ultimatum for me.
I have a question, okay?
Genuinely, do you love her?
[anticipatory music playing]
Bro, that's a very hard
question to answer.
Do I love her,
or do I feel responsible for her--
No, no, no! Fuck responsibility.
You know what I'll say?
You're the mother of my kids.
[dramatic music playing]
[in Hindi] Would you have married Iryna
if she hadn't been pregnant?
No, I wouldn't have. For sure, bro.
[in English] I blame myself
that it is my fault at the end of the day,
that Iryna got pregnant
and we decided to have a family.
[in Hindi] But is that love still there?
[in English] I don't know.
[dramatic music continues]
I don't know.
I still feel like she's a girl…
She needs me for everything.
I think I never
made her feel responsible for anything.
Exactly. I also feel the same.
- Really?
- Exactly the same.
- But why? I see that things are good.
- No, things are good.
My problem is not marriage, you know?
[in Hindi] My problem is
on what pretext do you marry?
There are certain requirements.
I look at Dyuti and Iryna,
and I realise that four years later,
this is going to be my situation, 100%.
I've been noticing certain things
for the past four years,
and I tried to tell her.
I feel the same.
- I feel I'm being taken for granted.
- [Dyuti] What?
Oh, okay.
While in Mumbai, I didn't feel
much pressure, but after coming here,
- I do because suddenly…
- Dubai is like that.
[in English] …it's all my responsibility.
But I cannot do everything.
You have to work on this now, now, now.
Exactly.
I need to sort this before I get married.
[Karan] If this relationship
has to go ahead in an official way,
these patterns of Teju have to be cut
and thrown out of the window.
Bro, honestly, you know what I think?
Talk to your parents.
[sarcastic laugh]
What's going on there?
What's happening with parents?
- [in Hindi] They're cursing me.
- Really? Why? What're they saying?
- [in English] What--?
- They are asking too many questions.
But you know what? [sighs]
[in Hindi] I have an idea.
I'll have a… group call with everyone.
- Go ahead. Let's do it.
- Just ask them.
[in English] If you need me, I'm here.
I think, after talking to Mum,
it was such an eye-opener for me.
So, I seriously feel that Karan
should also talk to his family
and take their advice,
and take it very, very seriously.
- [woman on phone] Hello!
- Hi!
Hi!
- [woman] Hi, everybody.
- [man] How are you?
[Karan, in Hindi]
Facing some difficulties, but good.
[in English] I really need
some… clear-cut advice.
[in Hindi] I was sitting with my friend,
[in English] and he was like, you know,
why don't you talk to your family
and ask them
what is their opinion about marriage…
- [woman] Hmm.
- …taking the next step…
I just feel, uh, a lack of support.
- Support from whom?
- [Karan] From Teju.
Do you think she's taking you for granted?
[in Hindi] Yes, I've started feeling that.
[Poonam, in English] You know,
you're very mature, you're very well-read,
you're older than her and things…
I sense quite a disconnect
between the two of you.
Maybe putting boundaries in place
and, uh, improving communication channels.
- If you really want this to happen…
- Yeah.
…then you have to start communicating,
because that's what marriage is,
it's work in progress.
[Karan] My sister notices
[in Hindi] that her brother
has to do everything for Tejasswi.
[in English] She herself should understand
[in Hindi] that family requires
a certain kind of respect and changes.
By watching how people are.
[in English] She needs to change.
[in Hindi] Teju is a bit loud.
Or when Teju gets angry,
she doesn't watch her words
or mind who's around.
[Karan, in Hindi] And this incident
has happened a few times,
[in English] where she has later on said,
"I shouldn't have said that
in front of Uncle."
[in Hindi] So, if she can adjust a bit,
it would be great.
[in English] Otherwise, she has got
all the good qualities in her.
[Satpal] For everything there is a time.
You should be settling down.
That's our biggest issue.
[in Hindi] There are some rules set
by nature and the society.
[in English] We should always try
to follow them or respect them.
[in Hindi] My Dad's problem is that
I've been with her four years,
and now I've taken the girl to Dubai,
without getting married.
[in English] And I understand
where he's coming from.
[in Hindi] So, I'm very happy
we had this conversation.
And, you know, uh,
I've got your perspective.
[in English] I know for a fact
that I'm gonna sort out all these things
- before I take a… a big step.
- [Poonam] Okay.
[light sombre music playing]
[in Hindi] How was it, bro?
[in English] Tell me.
- Dude, it was a good idea.
- Yeah?
[in Hindi] You know, uh, things were
very clear-cut from Dad's end,
[in English] when it comes to respect.
And it's kind of making me
open my eyes towards… a lot more things.
- Yeah.
- So I'm gonna think about it.
[Dyuti] Talking to Karan
about what I'm dealing with,
I think it's a very
uncomfortable position for me
because I think he's also dealing
with quite similar situation with Teja.
[music fades]

- [Alizey] Hi, babe!
- [squeals] Hi!
[Lailli] Oh, hello!
Wait, you're riding in this?
Your nonnie's gonna burn!
[all laugh]
What was that outfit?
- Yay!
- ["Girl Power" song continues]
I love this!
This is like the best plan ever.
Honestly, this is like therapy for me,
just getting on a horse.
- Right?
- I love it.
Okay, so listen,
I have something to tell you guys.
- What?
- What's happening?
Apparently, Karan was telling me
that Dyuti was having
an unbearable time with Iryna.
- Then they spoke to Dyuti's mum.
- Yeah?
And even Dyuti's mum thinks
that they should just give up.
- What, like, get divorced?
- Yeah, like, get divorced.
And that's why he signed the papers…
and he gave it to her.
- You're lying!
- [Alizey] Wait, what?
- Shut up. I'm serious. No!
- [Lailli] Wait, no. You're lying.
[tense music playing]
I haven't heard from Iryna. I, like…
I feel like she would tell me.
I wasn't expecting Teja
to break the news to us.
I just don't think it was right
of her to do so.
I would have much rather
heard it from Iryna herself.
I'm scared that looking
at the whole Iryna-Dyuti situation…
- Yeah?
- I don't want Karan to feel like,
- "Is marriage even the right thing to do?"
- [Lailli] Worth it?
Yeah! And it's kind of starting
to play with my head, right?
It has been four years.
There's no reason for us
to not get married.
- Right?
- Right.
Never mind. Right now,
I'm actually worried about Iryna.
- Let's call her.
- Let's see what's going on.
This is gonna be, like,
super tense, guys. Like, chill, okay?
- [Iryna, on phone] Hi, babe.
- Hi, my love. How are you?
- I'm with the girls. You're on speaker.
- Hi.
Hi!
[Iryna] Yeah, hi, girls.
What's going on? I haven't heard
from you in, like, two days.
[Iryna sighs] It's okay, I mean,
I have some tough time now.
I definitely feel like Iryna is upset.
I can hear it from her voice.
Teja's here as well.
[Iryna] Hi, Teja, how are you?
I'm good, babe. Are you okay?
- I'm really worried because…
- We have to go and see her.
- So, Karan told me a few things…
- I'm worried about her.
…and I told the girls, uh,
whatever he said.
[Iryna] What did he say?
[Teja] Karan and Dyuti met.
Was there a… like, some conversation
that Dyuti had with his mother?
And then, like, Karan said
that he gave you… the papers?
[Iryna] Which papers?
[tense music playing]
Umm…
- The divorce papers?
- She doesn't want to talk about it.
It's fine, babe.
I think she doesn't wanna talk about it.
She's sounding very off, like…
Did I do something wrong? I don't know.
- [Iryna] Yes--
- Listen, my love.
- Listen, we can come and see you.
- Babe, let's just, can we meet?
We're not having
this discussion on the phone.
- We're gonna come to you.
- We'll come and see you.
[Iryna] But I think
Teja knows everything, so I…
[Alizey] She doesn't know everything.
- Okay, so me and Lailli will go.
- No, I don't--
Okay, okay, but I don't know everything.
- [Iryna] Yeah…
- Okay, we'll come, my love.
- We'll come and see you. Love you, bye.
- Love you.
I'm not sure if Iryna trusts Teja,
which is why I feel like
she doesn't want her there.
I would feel the same if my personal
business was being aired out in public.
[tense music playing]
I'm a little hurt.
- By what?
- Iryna.
She doesn't want to see me.
She doesn't trust me.
No, i's not that she doesn't trust you.
I feel like maybe she doesn't wanna
divulge too much because she thinks
that you're going to tell Karan.
[in Hindi] Just because Karan
shared something with me
doesn't mean that
I, too, will share stuff with Karan.
[in English] She can blindly trust me.
But it's hurtful.
It's kind of, like, building up
because I feel like everything…
um… is, like, a lot
ever since I've come here,
and then, even the last time we met…
- Oh, babe, don't cry.
- No, I have to finish.
Even the other day, when you said
that… that I didn't take a stand for you
- in terms of, like… [sniffs] Pammi.
- Pam.
I'm feeling, like, really left
out of the… of the group.
The only reason I would stay in Dubai,
or, like, even take that decision
[voice breaking] would be
on the basis of the three of you.
Whenever I take a stand for someone,
my intention has always been pure.
I'm feeling very misunderstood here,
and it's very painful.
- [Alizey] Honestly, it's not even…
- It's so hurtful.
- Babe, honestly, it's not that.
- But it is hurtful.
[Lailli] Of course it is,
but you know what?
- The thing is--
- But why… why would you not trust me?
A friend to all is a friend to none.
You have to choose
who you want to be loyal to.
I didn't actually know
that Karan was telling you
to be quiet at the table that night.
I felt you didn't want
to get involved in that situation.
It was kind of like
you were playing both sides.
That's how we felt. It was like,
kind of, you were on the fence.
Now I've had it enough.
I shouldn't have to prove
my loyalty time and again.
[music fades]
But I was really impressed
with Pamala at the yoga
because she didn't create any drama.
She should pay for another… contest title.
Wait, she paid for her contest title?
Shut up!
What contest title?
Beauty pageant.
So apparently, she paid for that title.
- [gasps]
- [tense music playing]
[laughs]
Doesn't really surprise me. Sorry.
The worst part was, apparently,
she used to walk around
and attend parties with the crown on.
[Alizey] Oh, my God!
- That is so embarrassing.
- Yeah.
I just love getting juicy information
on people I can't stand.
Anyway, enough about that.
So, me and Karan,
we're doing themed lunch.
I don't think we should,
kind of, invite Pam.
- Like, 100%
- It's just us. It's going to be fun.
- Yes.
- No bad vibes, babe.
No bad vibes, no beef, nothing.
It's all amazing.
[intriguing tune plays]
[lively music playing]
Peekaboo!
[in Hindi] I'm reliving
my childhood with Bella.
When I'm with Bella,
I forget everything else. Everything.
[in English] Did you give Daddy kissy?
- Muah!
- Aww!
- [Bella] Tap, tap, play.
- Tap, tap, play?
- Tap, tap, play.
- Okay.
[Binda] Jackie?
- [Jackie] Yes, madam?
- [Bella cooing]
I think Bella wants to sleep now.
[cooing]
[music fades]
[in Hindi] I think
your nails are too long.
I'll cut your nails.
I've been cutting Satish's nails
for nine years now.
[Binda, in English] This is a sign of love
and respect for me, and the care.
[in Hindi] I think everyone should
do this for their husband.
[playful music playing]
[Binda] Your nails grow so fast.
I take a lot of vitamin C.
[Binda, in English] Hmm. I'm sure.
[in Hindi] I wanted to tell you something.
- I met Pamala last week.
- Okay.
[in English] And she was telling me
something about you.
[in Hindi] What did she have to say
about me now?
She said she saw you with someone.
Me with someone?
Where had you gone, Satish?
[scoffs] Where would I go, Binda?
Have you lost it?
[tense music playing]
I don't know why Pamala said that.
Who's the girl in my life now?
And this is wrong.
[dramatic music playing]
[Binda] She's saying that she saw you,
then she must have.
Forget it now.
No, I can't forget it, Satish.
I won't forget it.
- This--
- I don't like people snitching on you.
[dramatic music continues]
I feel very bad when people
from the same circle come and say
that they saw my husband partying,
that he was with this girl or that one.
Even if you aren't doing anything wrong,
they will think otherwise.
But who was she?
[sighs] No, Binda, there was no one.
There is no one.
You're the only one in my life.
No man in the world… is as decent as me.
[dramatic music continues]
Look, if you tell a woman
that… that you saw
her husband with a girl,
she's obviously bound to think
that her husband may be having an affair.
But that's not true.
[Satish] Yes, I do go to parties,
but I'm quite sure that she couldn't
have seen me with someone in private.
- How could Pamala say that to you?
- [sobbing] I'm so fed up, man.
Okay, don't get stressed. Relax.
There's so much that I endure, Satish.
You have so many spies
constantly watching me, bloody…
You know every move I make.
[in English] I have spies everywhere.
[in Hindi] I share good relations
with Satish's PA too.
They tell me
who he is hanging out with and where.
But whatever Pamala is saying…
Is this the same girl who I saw outside
the office? She came to the yacht too.
Which girl?
It wasn't one, there were two of them.
Umm, they were regulars
at Satish's parties.
So, I thought maybe Pamala had seen them.
Because if you meet
the same girl time and again,
[in English] then she'll end up
being your girlfriend,
and you know, there can be much more.
[in Hindi] I can give up…
a thousand girls for your sake.
Satish, stop it, man. Please.
- I'm really fed up with these parties.
- Okay, fine, okay. Okay, Binda.
Okay, fine. This is what I'll do.
No more parties.
- Promise?
- [Satish] Yes.
[Satish] Binda is more important to me.
If Binda isn't happy with my parties,
then I can obviously quit partying.
[in English] Look, Satish,
I don't want history to repeat again.
[in Hindi] What history?
You got divorced, left your kids
and got married again.
My first marriage happened…
when I was 21 years old.
I was 21 when I got married.
It was a love marriage,
because she said
her father would marry her off
to someone else, if we didn't get married.
That's why we eloped.
I haven't left my kids.
I often see Jayash and Lucky, Binda.
Uh, when I met Satish, he was married.
He was going through a divorce.
[light, tense music playing]
[in English] He had two boys,
uh, from his ex.
[in Hindi] He was also
in a relationship with someone else.
Many people used to ask me,
"Do you think he's going to leave you?
Because he's already left one wife.
And broken off with someone else too."
"What will you do if he leaves you too?"
[tense music playing]
[in English] I need to have another baby.
[in Hindi] We'll go to London
and plan another baby.
How many embryos do we have there?
Seven.
- We have seven embryos?
- Yes.
Okay, fine.
Let's plan.
- [Binda] No matter how much he parties…
- I love you.
[Binda] …I'll still love him the same
as he's a wonderful person.
I feel like if we have another baby,
all our issues will get resolved.
Will we ever rise up from this grave? ♪
Hearing the love song ♪
In the back of the mind ♪
[elegant lounge song playing]
There's nothing left
Of what we call a home… ♪
[in English] I decided to meet
only Lailli and Alizey.
- Hi, babe.
- Hi, babe.
[Iryna] I feel a bit frustrated on Teja,
because she's sharing the news
which she's not supposed to.
[tense music playing]
[Iryna] How are you?
- No, no, no. Tell us, how are you?
- We're here for you.
[Iryna] Oh, my God!
There is always something
happening in my life.
When did all of this happen?
Because obviously, the last time
we saw you was at our event.
It basically happened, like,
a few days ago.
Oh, okay.
Dyuti came home,
he had a conversation with his mum,
and, uh, he told me,
"You're not spending enough time
with the kids during the day."
It's my fault, I think that…
I really put him too much in first place.
Like, I wanted to be a good wife,
but I made a mistake.
- I was not a good mum. I think--
- No, wait, Iryna, you can't say that.
It broke my heart when she said,
"I'm not a good mother."
You can't just say you're a bad mum.
He's making you this person
which makes you want to be reclusive
and be on your own.
I feel like he loves me so much,
that's why he's trying to manipulate me.
Umm…
Ah…
- Iryna. No. [laughs]
- [Alizey] Iryna, no. No. [laughs]
- [sombre music playing]
- [Lailli] You don't deserve that.
He's manipulating you to think
that you're a horrible person,
and you're not.
I know how she's feeling right now,
because I've been in a toxic relationship.
Dyuti is controlling
everything about her life right now.
I get really sad
when I see the way he treats you
because I just feel like
you deserve so much better.
When everything was good in our relation,
I was putting all my energy in family
and was happy to do it,
but after, I started to feel
- he's focusing on himself…
- Himself.
…and his career and his growth more.
I started to feel sad, and I just
wanted to prove myself for him.
I did plastic surgery
which I was always against.
- I just wanted his attention, maybe.
- Yeah.
I think Dyuti pushed me because
he's not paying attention on me.
My inner self is screaming,
"No, look at me. Look at me!"
So that's why I was feeling like, oh,
maybe I need to do breast augmentation.
I don't have this emotional safe.
I don't have this mental safe.
I don't have… financial safe
because I'm dependent on him.
What's your financial situation?
Uh, it's not good.
He said that everything's 50/50,
but honestly, it's not true.
Everything is under his mum's name and…
- Wait. What do you mean…
- [Lailli] Stop.
- "Everything's in his mum's name?"
- You're not married to the mum, babe.
What?
- What's under your name?
- I have a mortgage under my name.
Iryna, you're lying.
[Lailli] No, this is bad.
When I see other women
dependent on a man, it kills me.
Because it just really makes it harder
for women to leave bad situations
when they aren't able to.
[tense music continues]
He's telling me I have to see a therapist.
[Lailli] Why don't you both go to therapy?
Why you alone have to…
- He's the reason--
- No, he…
He just raised the subject
that I have to go.
It's like, in me…
That's so manipulative
and that's so toxic.
But also, instead of therapy,
have you considered speaking to Janvee?
You think?
Do you remember she said
something about signing papers
- in the next few days--?
- Oh my God, do you remember that?
And then two days later, this happened.
I feel maybe meet with her
and see what she says.
Janvee… I feel like I can ask her advice
and she can share with me her story.
[tense music continues]
I honestly want you to know
that we are here.
- Now, I came here, I feel better. And…
- [Alizey] Yeah.
I feel stronger
and I want to change everything.
- [Lailli] Good.
- I will fight to be a better mum.
No, Iryna, you're making me so sad.
Like, you're just… you are the best mom.
[sombre music playing]
It's really hard seeing her like that.
And I do think… she deserves
to be so much happier.
Love you.
You give me so much support.
You give me so much strength.
Bye, my love.

When I'm sorta good… ♪
[in Hindi] I got a call from Binda today.
She wants me to meet Iryna.
- Iryna wants to talk to me.
- [Iryna] Hi, Janvee.
[in English] Do you know
what happened with her?
Is it related to your marriage?
- Yes.
- Hmm. At the yoga retreat,
I was reading the aura and there were
so many people who had surrounded us.
I couldn't say everything that I could see
because, you know, it was very private.
When I saw… a few things
and I definitely threw a few hints
here and there.
Remember, you told Dyuti that he'd sign
some papers in the coming days?
Yes.
Yeah, he signed the divorce papers.
[tense music playing]
[in Hindi] I wasn't really shocked
because a massive disconnect…
[Janvee, in English]
He was not far from it.
I knew it is inevitable.
It is going to happen.
[Binda] Is it final?
This is what I want,
actually, to ask Janvee.
This year for you both to cross…
is very difficult as a married couple.
[Iryna] I feel like
I don't want to believe her
because I don't imagine myself
without Dyuti.
He's the biggest part of my life.
Where are your parents?
My parents are in Ukraine
and they are divorced.
I was a bit angry at my mom
because she left me when I was a teenager,
and it was a very tough time.
But that's the energy coming from you.
It's that… It's an abandonment
from the mother.
You need to work on that, honey.
[tense music playing]
Now you've started looking
for the same maternal love
in your husband.
But he's a husband,
he can only play the part of a husband.
But if he has to nurture you
like a mother,
that's when he's going to snap out.
Do you think
couples therapy is a good idea?
Because maybe Dyuti wants us
to go for therapy.
More than couples therapy,
you need self-therapy.
Iryna doesn't want to be helped.
Not only by Janvee, by God,
by universe, by XYZ on this planet.
She wants to get sympathy.
Do you want to save this marriage or not?
Or you want a divorce?
I would like to save this marriage.
But Iryna, every time it comes from him,
the divorce idea? Does he come up with it?
- No, actually, I forced him.
- Last time it was you?
Iryna, I'm not saying Satish
doesn't do things that I don't like.
He does.
But I don't tell him to divorce me.
Every couple is different, right?
When I met him,
- he was going through a divorce.
- [Janvee] Mm-hmm.
And at the same time, he had a girlfriend.
So, he's got two kids from his first wife.
And now his kids live here,
in Dubai with their mom.
And I think it's a big thing to accept
his children, that they live in Dubai.
He bought them a nice house, luxury cars.
They live a luxury life,
just… just like us.
[tense music playing]
But don't they have the equal right also?
He's the father, at end of the day.
But not every woman would accept this.
- You know women are jealous.
- But those are bad women.
You're not a bad woman.
Oh, my God! There was a dynamite
that exploded in my head.
They are his children. His DNA.
I mean, it is his money.
That's why he has to support his kids.
- It's normal.
- You're also a parent.
You would definitely want your kids
to live better than what you live.
It was a big thing for me to accept.
I didn't have children. I didn't…
I couldn't get pregnant for eight years.
I was very insecure.
Babe, he's not gonna go back to her.
If he wanted to be with her,
he would have not divorced her
in the first place.
But I know that. But still, it's…
- The jealousy is there.
- Hmm.
And you know the human nature.
I was feeling insecure.
[in Hindi] So, looking at Satish,
I'd think, he already has kids
and he's enjoying life.
What will I do?
So, we can't even say
that we don't feel anything at all
and are doing everything wholeheartedly.
Because we're all only human after all.
[in English] Now, Iryna,
take a six-month separation.
- No, six months is too much.
- [Janvee laughs]
Maximum… Maximum two weeks. [laughs]
But take it easy.
I think you still have
a lot to plan about this separation.
And I don't think it's the worst thing.
- And we can meet again.
- Let's be optimistic.
- If you need advice, we can meet again.
- Yeah.
[light, heartfelt music playing]
[upbeat music playing]
[upbeat music continues]
[in Hindi] Karan and I have organised
a Bollywood-themed lunch today
for our circle.
[in English] But I have decided
to not call Pammi.
Because I wanted peace.
[upbeat Bollywood music]
[in Hindi] I sent a brief to everyone
that this is
a Bollywood-comes-to-Dubai party,
[in English] and everybody has to dress up
as an iconic Bollywood character.
[upbeat Bollywood music continues]
I'm absolutely in love with my look.
I'm, in my way, giving a tribute
to Sridevi ji by dressing up like her.
She was an amazing,
respected actor of India.
[light Indian tabla music playing]
- Look at this.
- So cute!
[in Hindi] "Two lovers in Dubai."
[in English] I am the king of kings,
Zil-i-Illahi, Akbar the Great,
which was portrayed by Hrithik Roshan
in the film Jodhaa Akbar.
I wanted my outfit to make a statement.
So excited! I hope everybody likes it!
[upbeat Bollywood music playing]
[Tejasswi gasps]
[Karan laughs]
- So cute!
- Yes.
[in Hindi] Taglines we wrote
are also put up
so that if someone misses them,
they can sit here and read them.
[upbeat Bollywood music continues]
It says "Pamala" here.
- Yes, everyone's name is here.
- I didn't invite Pamala.
[tense music playing]
[Tejasswi] As soon as I saw the table,
[in English] the first name
I see is Pammi.
- Not Pamala! You know I don't like her.
- Don't do that.
I've told Lailli that I'm…
I'm not going to call Pamala.
I've told Lailli and Alizey.
I'll be fucked.
Anyway, Iryna doesn't trust me
because of your friendship
with that Dyuti.
And anyway, you all tell each other
everything, she's not telling me shit.
I'm really worried.
[in Hindi] What are Alizey
and Lailli going to think about me?
[Teju, in English] Dude,
why can't you just tell me
who all you're going to invite at a party
that's also equally mine?
- [in Hindi] Why're we throwing this party?
- Why?
We're socialising, meeting people.
[in English]
What is this socialising going to do?
I don't know. I'm just calling everybody.
[in Hindi] And you said you've committed
to some girls… Is this a kitty party?
I'm working here. I'm meeting everybody.
But this is my party too
and I also get to decide who I can call,
and I don't want her here.
[in English] We're not here
for your girls. We're here for work.
How many times
should I make you understand, Tejasswi,
that life is not about
these stupid, silly things?
I'm trying to do something big here,
and you're trying to cause a hindrance.
It's happening. She's on her way.
Put that back. That's not…
Hold on. No, no, no!
I don't want this. I don't care.
I'm sorry, that's not my problem.
You uninvite her.
You get her off now. I don't know how.
I don't care. I just don't want her there.
[Tejasswi] She's not entering.
[in Hindi] Fucking…!
[tense music playing]
[in English] You know what? Fuck this!
- We're here at our own event.
- Keep personal matters out of this.
- And fighting because of somebody else.
- You're fighting because of somebody else.
[dramatic music playing]
[upbeat Bhangra music playing]
[in Marathi] "I've lost my mind!"
[in English] I decided that I'll dress up
like Ajay Devgn, Bajirao Singham.
It's a very strong character.
I hope I can justify his personality.
Hi!
- How are you?
- I need to send the cops on you.
You're looking so good. Where's Iryna?
She's not feeling well.
She's taking resting today. But I'm here.
Me and Iryna, we're barely speaking.
So, Iryna decided not to go.
[upbeat elegant music playing]
WHO WILL BE
MY SCAPEGOA
[Binda, in Hindi] I found the posters
very interesting, on the left side.
"A wife's weight in gold, a promise."
[in English] Of course that's me. [laughs]
- Hi!
- So pretty! Shantipriya?
- Right? And the roses!
- Yes.
- And this is… Sridevi.
- Beautiful!
- You know?
- I know from the headpiece.
[Dyuti] Oh, ho! [laughs]
[Karan] I don't want anybody to know
that this happened just five minutes ago.
Because this is not what I intended for.
This is not the purpose
of today's meeting.
[in Hindi] Don't mind.
But you look like Rocky from Delhi,
Rocky and Rani, right?
- Who's he?
- Om Shanti Om.
Om Shanti… Yes!
So, are you Arjun Rampal?
- I don't know.
- [laughs]
[woman] You are looking good, Dyuti.
- [in English] Thank you for coming.
- Hi, thank you for coming.
[in Hindi] I'm not going to show
that just three seconds ago,
I was fighting and was in a bad mood.
[in English] Obviously,
I'm going to fake it.
[upbeat vamp theme playing]
[upbeat chic music playing]
Hello! Hello, hello, hello everybody!
- [Binda] Hi!
- Hi!
[Dyuti] How are you, Pam?
- [Pam] Hello, policeman.
- Looking amazing. Who are you today?
Please, Tejasswi. Please, please, please!
[in Hindi] Don't do anything.
- Desi Girl.
- [Pam] Desi girl.
- [in English] Hello!
- Don't you like…
[Pam] I don't really like Teja that much.
[in Hindi] She annoys me.
She irritates me.
But I have nothing against Karan.
That's why I came.
Pammi is here,
and I am in a lot of trouble.
- I like that, Mr. Golden Visa. I love it!
- It says on the name badge.
[in Hindi] Don't ask me where I'm from.
[in Marathi] To heck with you!
- [Karan laughs]
- [Pam] Not me!
[Dyuti] Talk now!
[Binda] I think it's your son's.
- [Satish] Today I'll shoot--
- I stole everything.
Today I'm going to shoot Pamala.
He's annoyed with you.
Pamala, why is everyone annoyed with you?
What's the matter?
[tense music playing]
[in English] Hold up. Excuse me.
What is going on there?
[in Hindi] Binda, uh, I wanted
to discuss something with you.
- What we spoke about two days ago…
- [Binda] Yes.
You said that Pamala told you something,
and the drama that happened at home…
So I want to ask Pamala
where did she see me with the girl.
I want Pamala to explain
why she said all that.
Did she really see me somewhere?
Or what was it?
Everyone should know what she told Binda.
I never said I saw him. I said, I heard.
[in English] And obviously, and…
Binda is my friend,
so I have to tell her, right?
[in Hindi] So I told her to talk to you…
[in English]
But why did you have to tell her?
She's my friend. We're good friends.
[in Hindi] I was quite shocked that Satish
brought it up in front of everyone.
But Binda ji knows that he's
with different girls every weekend.
Give me one second, we're talking.
[in English] We're having
a conversation, it's between us.
Whoa. [sighs] That mouth
just doesn't, doesn't stop.
My situation with Satish and Binda
is an adult conversation.
Don't butt in.
No, it's not.
Because you're literally having it
in front of everybody, Pammi.
[in Hindi] Obviously she'll stop me,
because I'm making sense.
And if you wreck others' homes and dream
that someday I'll have my own home,
that can never happen.
Because it's karma.
- Binda felt it was a serious relationship.
- [Pam] No.
No, at first… No.
No, first Pam told me she saw you herself.
So I was scared, wondering who it was.
She changed her statement now.
- No, I did not. I never said I saw him.
- That someone saw him.
I said, I heard.
That's exactly what I said.
- If you say something like this…
- [Teja] Exactly.
- …to someone's wife or girlfriend…
- [Teja] She was crying.
- …they'll start thinking differently…
- Yes.
- …about what's going on.
- [Pam] Yes.
- [Karan] Creating unnecessary suspicion.
- Yes.
- [Pam] If--
- So, this is
- a big issue.
- That would've been the case if I'd said
- you were having an affair.
- [Satish] But still…
[in English] That's different.
[in Hindi] You call someone your friend,
and then go about breaking up her family.
A friend is one who helps
resolve conflicts
between you and your partner,
rather than creating conflicts.
And when you call her to meet personally,
it feels like you're trying to warn her
that you've heard something
about her husband.
[in English] It doesn't… It's literally,
you're trying to put a, uh,
gap in between the two of them.
[in Hindi] I won't tell you anything
next time.
He won't do it next time.
He's promised me, he won't.
I was a little bit disappointed in Binda
because my intention was clear.
[in English] And I honestly wanted her
just to resolve the situation.
[in Hindi] I had good intentions,
but I became the villain.
[upbeat chic music playing]
[Alizey] I decided to come as one
of my favourite Bollywood characters,
Miss Chandni from Main Hoon Na.
- Hello! How're you?
- Hi! Good, thanks. How're you?
[music stops]
Tejasswi gave us her word
that Pamala wouldn't be there.
- [tense music playing]
- But she's here.
Doesn't really surprise me.
- Where's Lailli?
- So, guys…
She wasn't well today.
- Shut up.
- She's literally been ill all night.
[in Hindi] I'm just thanking my stars
that Lailli didn't come
because I committed to her
that I won't invite Pamala.
- [in English] Why's she here?
- No. [indistinct ]
[in a low voice]
So, Karan is the one who invited her.
And I didn't even know he was going to
invite her. It was a surprise to me also.
Yeah. I don't wanna make a scene
right now, but that's bad.
Again, Tejasswi is giving us
another reason not to trust her.
She's just not a girl's girl.
[upbeat chic music playing]
[women squeal]
[Karan] Farhana is a very successful
influencer in Dubai.
I'm very happy that she's here.
I'm so happy to be here
to celebrate the Bollywood party, right?
- Bollywood theme, yeah.
- We're bringing Bollywood to Dubai.
[elegant music playing]
[upbeat heroic song playing]
- How are you guys doing, man?
- [man] Oh!
- [Karan] Look who's here!
- [Pam] Oh, my God! Hi!
[in Hindi] Vivek Oberoi is an extremely
important member of the Indian cinema.
[in English] Apart from being an actor
and a huge star,
[in Hindi] he's also
a very successful businessman.
Of course, it's a Bollywood event
which would be incomplete without him.
[Teja, in English] So this feels
all the more Bollywood,
now that Vivek Oberoi is here.
I love your outfits, man.
So grand and wild.
This guy is dressed as some prince.
Are you from Mughal-E-Azam?
Jodhaa Akbar, uh, Hrithik Roshan.
- You're Hrithik in Jodhaa… Correct.
- Yes. Yes.
- Is everybody here?
- [in Hindi] Yes, everyone's here.
- [in English] Let's go, have something.
- Yeah. I could eat.
- Yes, let's go.
- [Dyuti] Yeah. I'm feeling hungry.
[lively Bollywood music playing]
Where are the hosts, man?
Where is Karan? Where is Teja?
- Karan!
- Oh, guys. Something's happening.
[dhol music plays]
[upbeat Punjabi song playing]
[Karan, in Hindi]
It's important to create a vibe.
So, we prepared
a dance performance for everyone
[in English] because that's what
Bollywood is about.
Come and do the boom boom ♪
- [upbeat Punjabi song continues]
- [people cheering]
- [Karan singling along]
- [people clapping in rhythm]
[Binda, in Hindi] Karan is so naive, man.
I was intently watching their dance.
Tejasswi is a very good dancer,
Her moves were flawless.
Karan's wasn't bad either.
[upbeat Punjabi song continues]
Boom boom ♪
[people talking indistinctly]
Boom boom ♪
- Come and do the boom boom ♪
- Boom boom ♪
[all talking indistinctly]
Before we start, I wanted to say,
[in English] thanks to everybody
at this table, and also who's not.
[Teja] Yeah.
[in Hindi] I want to thank them too
because you all,
uh, without hesitating,
without thinking twice…
It's a very nice feeling
that you accepted us like family.
Since I have come to Dubai,
I have been a new person.
[in English] I am happier.
[in Hindi] And all those
who were at that table,
have supported me and played
a role in my growth, whether big or small.
[Teja, in English] Every person
at the table today is, uh…
very important to me.
And I mean that for you also, Pammi,
because, like, I feel like we kind of…
Yeah, we fight, we do everything,
but we need each other to balance it out.
I obviously miss Iryna,
and obviously Lailli
and the Rizwan Sajan family.
[Karan] They are travelling.
[Teja] And thank you for all the support,
and I'd just like to request you all
to keep up the support.
[in Hindi] The way you have come today
to our event, we love it.
[in English] And this really shows a lot.
So I really am thankful.
Thank you. Thank you so much.
Welcome to Dubai.
[all laugh lightly]
[tense music playing]
Tejasswi is trying
to be everyone's friend.
I will keep her at an arm's length.
I just don't feel like I trust her
with anything she says at this point.
Let's eat.
- [inaudible]
- [lively Indian music playing]
[in Hindi] The food is served.
It's proper Indian food.
It's a platter with a variety of food.
[in English] So listen, guys.
I just want to say, um, thank you so much.
And it's my birthday coming up,
and I want all of you
to be present and there, ready to party.
Are you inviting everyone who's not here…
I'm inviting everybody, yes,
because, uh, why not?
Life is short
and we should celebrate together.
Of course.
Lailli and I will definitely not be going.
'Cause she's not important to us.
We don't care.
[in Hindi] Satish,
will you come to my birthday?
- [Vivek] Settled everyone.
- If you invite me, I'll come.
- Aww!
- [all laugh]
Pamala handled it well
in front of everyone.
She didn't want to create an issue.
[in English] She is a very smart girl.
[in Hindi] I don't want to fight
with her unnecessarily.
Guys, the way
you guys have decided to move,
- so many people are now moving to Dubai.
- [in Hindi] The property market's booming.
[in English] We're seeing amazing
new projects coming up all the time.
And it's been great.
Yeah.
[tense music playing]
I want to talk to Dyuti.
I have to know what's happening.
- [in Hindi] How are you? You look great.
- So, tell me. Thank you.
[in English] Tell me
what's happening with Iryna.
You told Karan about all the things.
And then Karan told me, which is obvious,
- because a couple tells each other.
- Hmm.
- [in Hindi] You don't do that with Iryna.
- What do I not do? Tell me.
[in English] I'll tell you honestly,
me and Karan, we had a fight
because Karan didn't tell me
that Pammi was coming.
The problem is not her coming.
The problem is him not informing me.
[in Hindi] He must've forgotten.
He has so much going on.
[in English] These are important things,
it doesn't take a lot to just inform.
[in Hindi] But she came,
you're also having so much fun.
[in English]
No, but it's not about just that.
[in Hindi] I'm trying to find out
Dyuti's emotion and intention
about this marriage.
I'm trying to explain to him
that Iryna's complaints are valid too.
[in English] Your mum also is against
the two of you guys being together?
It's not against.
It's a fact, or a reality check.
Whatever her complaints about me,
let's consider that, okay, it's right.
By the end of the day,
we men have certain responsibilities.
Do I fail in any of my responsibilities?
- The answer will always be no, but--
- No.
But you only take your responsibility
as a father very seriously.
But do you take your responsibility
as a husband very seriously?
But I try my best. I just wanted her
to take responsibility of being a mother.
Okay.
You cannot say I will not be a mother
just because my husband is not taking…
above and beyond care.
[dramatic music playing]
Can I tell you something?
Hmm.
And you'll take this as, uh,
it's coming from a brother.
Okay.
Karan and Teja have become so close to me.
So I took this opportunity
to give her my two cents.
[in Hindi] I was talking to Karan.
- [indistinct chatter around]
- [in English] You know, I know you--
Dude, you're scaring me.
You're scaring me. Like, what?
[in Hindi] I'm sure it's on your mind too,
when he will propose,
when you will get married.
- And things like that.
- Yeah.
[in English] Why do you think
he has still not?
Why do you think he's still hesitant?
- I haven't really thought this through.
- But you have to, right? You have to.
[Dyuti] One of the things is, you know,
he feels that more than a boyfriend
or husband to-be,
he feels like you rely on him
for everything.
Hmm.
You know what men want to see?
My woman has to be a mature woman.
I want my woman to be ready
to be a mother.
[in Hindi] This is what…
he's a bit hesitant about.
[in English] He's a little bit concerned.
[in Hindi] I don't understand
why Karan is saying all this to Dyuti.
And what's going on? Do they bad-mouth
their partners whenever they meet?
[in English] Okay,
Karan is nine years elder to me.
So that's why
it's a drastic change for him.
- Yeah. I think so.
- In which, neither is he wrong, nor am I.
I have to tell you something more.
What?
[tense music playing]
He spoke to the whole family.
This is a huge shock for me.
[in Hindi] I had no idea
that Karan called his family.
[in English] I don't know
what his family said to him about me.
I'm really worried at this point.
But I didn't know this.
Why would he not tell me this?
I think he felt that family's advice
is always important
and how valuable it can be.
And it may give you a direction.
What the hell just happened?
I can't think of anything else.
I have to.
I have to talk about this to Karan.
