Hi, my name's Alanna.
I moved to LA five years ago
[upbeat song plays]
to pursue my social media career.
And to start my company, CollabTribe.
Where we'd bring
other Indian talent overseas.
We wanted to be this unstoppable force.
[Alanna] These stunning girls
with stunning social media accounts,
living their best lives
and posting about it.
[upbeat song ends]
[energetic music plays]
We recruited Aryaana Gandhi,
a singer from Powai with "Grande" dreams.
It's literally my dream come true.
[Alanna] Srushti Porey, who loves fashion
and a life, filter-free.
Oh, my God!
I sounded like one of those Kardashians.
[Alanna] And Alaviaa Jaaferi who
could have been a Bollywood star,
but it cramps her style.
Nothing to me is a concern. I don't care.
[chuckles]
[camera shutter clicks]
[upbeat music plays]
[Alanna] And we get to do this all
because of my co-founder and partner,
Hardik Zaveri.
The man with the mission,
the man with the plan.
And yes, most crucially,
the man with the money.
[Hardik] So, the first thing
you need to know about me
is that I think
LA is the greatest city in the world.
And I want my friends
and other cool people to join me here.
I have grown up
seeing this show called Entourage.
[groovy song plays]
I always wanted to live that life.
Wow!
[Hardik] This is why I started
CollabTribe with Alanna.
As a movement
to create internet sensations.
You really think this is so easy to do?
[Hardik] We bring these girls to LA
to live together, to travel together,
and above all,
to create content together.
-All expenses paid!
-[groovy song fades]
It's the pursuit of fun
and then the money somehow following it.
You guys can easily
be making like ten to twelve mil a year.
-What the hell!
-[energetic music plays]
-Ooh!
-Ooh!
I don't know why
the number one assumption we all get is,
"What are these rich brats doing in LA"?
-Is it not cool enough for your feed?
-Yeah.
We have 6000 followers and it is very sad.
[Hardik] But unfortunately,
things didn't really click
and CollabTribe still remains a dream.
-But one I'm not ready to give up on.
-[energetic music fades]
I have someone in my mind
that I wanna add to the tribe.
-Who do you think it is?
-I have no idea.
I don't know who it is.
And I hear about it from someone else.
What should I caption it?
"CollabTribe 2.0"?
No. "We're back!"
Now, strut, strut, strut ♪
-Keep going. Yep.
-Cameras flash, flash, flash ♪
Strike a pose, pose, pose ♪
-Three-hour long shoot for one photo.
-[dramatic music plays]
It looks like
some amateur has done it.
Dude, this room situation
is kind of dicey.
Hello, am I your servant?
Seriously, what the hell!
[dramatic music intensifies]
-No one is trusting you right now.
-Whatever.
What the hell have you guys done?
[in Hindi] You need to work!
[in English] You wanna go home,
you go home.
What did I say so wrong
for you to get triggered?
I wanted to slap everyone.
I told you when I said things,
I said things.
Don't yell at me.
[sobbing]
You have a very resting bitch face.
I'd be lying if I said, no,
that I didn't enjoy the drama.
-I have some good news.
-[gasps]
[dramatic music fades]
[theme music plays]
Flash, flash, goes the camera ♪
Let me strike a pose ♪
Cha-ching! ♪
[rock music plays]
[birds chirping]
We drop it like a rock star ♪
-We drop it like a rock star ♪
-Yeah ♪
-Pop it like a rock star ♪
-Yeah ♪
Breaking all the rules
Play it super cool ♪
Watch me make it go roar! ♪
-[Alanna on call] Hello!
-Hi, Als! What's up?
[Hardik] Are you free
to talk for five minutes?
I'm getting married in five days.
Please don't forget.
I'm on my way
to the airport for your wedding
but I wanted to talk about
this insane house that I've found
for CollabTribe.
Wait, wait CollabTribe?
Yes. Like, yes, yes!
We did a lot till COVID hit.
Can we please try
to focus on this movement
that we started and figure out a way
to kind of make it
alive again?
This is such bad timing.
Just get here, let's talk here.
I have really bad anxiety right now.
Just please, let's just talk in person.
Bye.
Okay, cool. Best of luck!
Let me know if you need anything.
[rock music fades]
-Who was it?
-It was Hardik. Talking about CollabTribe.
I was like,
I literally can't do this right now.
This is my fiancé, Ivor,
and also my co-worker and partner.
I'm a content creator
and I model part-time.
And I'm based between Mumbai and LA.
[soft music plays]
[Alanna] We run a YouTube channel together
and he also helps me with my Instagram.
Oh, yeah.
And then, our wedding's coming up.
Did you know that?
-I knew that.
-Yeah.
Where are we with all the wedding stuff
and the brand deals?
All of the brands
that are working with us,
they all want individual visibility
and I don't know how to give it to them.
-There's no way. It's not gonna happen.
-But they're paying you lakhs for it.
-No.
-So, we have to think about it.
I don't think that our first wedding
post can be an ad.
Do you think there's room
to negotiate with them?
I don't want to lose this.
It's good money.
Do you think we're the first couple
ever to try to make money off
of our wedding?
-Yeah.
-No, I'm serious. Like, is this
I just hope we don't regret this.
We are actually getting married.
I love him.
-If we put all these ads
-What to do?
I don't want to come across
as superficial, like with all these
-I don't
-Like, hi, I love him, and here's this
-Even if they're paying like lakhs for it?
-[Ivor speaks indistinctly]
It's hard to say no to the money.
I think it's a huge opportunity for us
to grow on social media,
but also to make money
Besides,
obviously, it's a very big day
for us personally.
But I think in terms of brand deals,
it's one of the biggest times
in the creator's life that
I think you can bank on deals
and that's at least how I view it.
I don't think
everyone views their wedding like that.
-I see it as a potential
-It's a big business opportunity.
to make some money.
What do you think about this?
I don't know.
This is getting out of hand.
I'm close to having a meltdown.
I'm just keeping it together.
Don't have a meltdown.
I have this vision of me
walking down the aisle.
And my biggest fear is
that one of our camera team,
the ten people we've hired,
coming in one of my shots.
Don't worry about that. We'll get
the coordinator to figure it out.
There'll be nobody in your shot.
You'll get your perfect wedding
Imagine I post a wedding thing
and there's a camera guy
in the background trying to film
our YouTube thing.
Yeah. No, it'll be fine.
-Don't stress.
-I just I hope I don't regret this.
This is going to be, like,
the best moment in our entire lives.
-So you have to just let go
-I know, I know.
-Release everything, and just have fun.
-[soft music continues]
I can't believe this is happening.
We're going to go back to LA
a married couple.
I don't think it's hit.
It's not hit me yet.
-I can't believe this is happening.
-I
Am I gonna cry
when you walk down the aisle?
-Are you?
-I might.
-Aw.
-Yeah.
[soft music fades]
[cheerful music plays]
-What do you think of the couch?
-I don't like this green color.
I love the green.
It's because of you only
we've kept the green color.
But the green is sick.
It's matching the brown.
There's beige
beige and green go together.
It's looking nice.
-Like classic
-But there's only beige and brown
-everywhere else.
-Exactly, so
-there you need that
-And then you want green.
little bit of a contrast.
Hi, I'm Alaviaa!
And I come from a filmy background.
My granddad was an actor.
My dad's an actor.
And my brother is now an actor as well.
But I chose not to go down that path
because it was something that
I was never passionate about.
And what I was actually
interested in was clothes and fashion
and that kind of thing.
You wanted to shift to Bandra.
-Yeah, forever.
-She wanted to shift to Bandra.
You both are going away.
[in Hindi] We are working
and not killing time.
Now, all the responsibilities
are on me.
[in English]
We have to balance your dad also.
-But it's almost done now.
-Who amongst you two will balance him out?
-You.
-No, no.
[Alaviaa] We just got a
new home in Bandra.
And it was great moving from
Lokhandwala to Bandra
because I don't wanna
live in Lokhandwala anymore.
That's not
It's just not it.
[in Hindi] Hello, conference.
Food? I'm hungry.
[in English] Let's go eat.
[Habiba] Where is Turaab?
[Jaaved] Abbas!
[in Hindi] You sit there.
I do not want the AC.
All those who want AC, sit there.
Every family goes through the same.
Damn the AC.
[in English] She doesn't want the AC.
I don't like it on my face.
So as a family, I think we're quite close.
I would say
my siblings and I are much closer.
[Alaviaa] And with my parents,
I feel like, growing up
they were kind of strict and now
my relationship with them has improved.
-Okay, when are you leaving?
-Next week.
So where you're going to? CollabTribe?
I mean, there's Alanna's wedding
and then I'll go to LA.
-And then?
-I mean, now I'm getting my visa.
So, I can start earning money there
and then I want to start
working with brands over there.
For Instagram and stuff.
But mainly influencer stuff.
[in Hindi]
Yeah, I mean, this influencer
It makes no sense. Every
Tom, Dick, and Harry is now an influencer.
-[in English] And
-Dad, I don't think you understand.
-You don't utilize your Instagram.
-No, one second
[in Hindi] I was just looking
There's a girl who appears
Who comes in looking at the camera,
then she will just turn,
and her sari changes.
[in English] Good for her because people
are consuming that content.
[in English] I think they are
consuming shit.
The whole Yeah.
-But they are consuming the content.
-No, no
So why? Blame the people
who consume that content.
I just enjoy clicking pictures
and if I'm making money
out of just shooting content
that I like to shoot,
why will I not do that?
[Alaviaa] Somewhere, he underestimates
the amount of work that also goes in.
For example, he wouldn't be able to do it.
He doesn't understand it at all.
The real people
who are talented actors, etc.
They don't have work.
-And these guys who are
-But, Dad, that is life.
I'm doing my own thing.
I'm doing my "vis.a.via" stuff,
-but I'm also doing this because
-No, that I am with you.
earning money through this.
Your "vis.a.via", I agree with that.
-I think that makes sense.
-But that's not gonna get me money
-It's a business.
-in the moment, right?
-Yeah.
-So why will I not use my platform
that I already have followers on?
[mocking Alaviaa in Hindi] The train
scheduled on platform number four
will now arrive
on platform "Platform!"
[in English] Let's face it,
she did receive offers in the
-Films.
-Films.
From some of the biggest
production houses,
but she chose not to do it.
She was very clear in her head
that she didn't want to act at all.
I just always felt like
the industry was too toxic
and I feel like it just wasn't for me.
What is it that you wanna do?
Is there a number to something?
Followers? Money?
There must be something
I think the need to just start shooting
content and creating content more often,
which I don't do when I come to Bombay.
Even when I was in LA
for three months after COVID,
I was a lot more active because
I was doing things there.
I think once I'm consistent,
automatically my followers grow,
and then I make more money.
What is this whole CollabTribe?
[in Hindi] What is the deal?
[in English] That's a very good question.
I don't have an answer to that.
Why, dear?
As in, like,
I don't know, Hardik is in some
I don't know what he says.
[in Hindi] Wish you all the best.
[in English] Oh, my God!
Basically, he's put five of us together.
He's like formed this group
and he wants us
He pushes us to create content.
[Alaviaa] You know, when I try
to explain this to people,
no one really understands what I'm saying.
Hardik wants us to be this community
and how, you know,
he thinks we have
these different identities,
and he wanted to just create
really cool content.
[cheerful music fades]
[doorbell rings]
[energetic music plays]
-Hi!
-Hi, Deanne! How are you?
Nice meeting you.
Dana and Deanne.
-Dana, Deanne.
-Come.
[Alanna] I'm so excited Ivor's family
has started arriving from the US.
This is going to be the first time
our families are meeting.
-Mom is crying.
-Mom's crying.
[Ivor] My parents have
never left the US before,
so this is just gonna be
a complete culture shock for them.
-Alanna?
-Yeah.
By any chance,
did you forget to wear your top?
Are you serious?
-This is my top.
-[indistinct chatter]
Yeah? Really?
-Why?
-Are you
-What is wrong with this?
-figuring this out now?
-Stand up.
-Let's see it.
-What is wrong with this outfit?
-[indistinct chatter]
Need a shirt with it. Don't you think?
-This is the shirt.
-Oh, this is.
-This is not LA.
-[indistinct chatter]
-This is the top.
-This is Bandra.
-It's a bralette.
-A bralette.
-Bralette.
-What does it say?
-Bra.
-Bra.
-Bras need to be covered.
-But it's a top.
That, to me at least, is a top.
Isn't that a top? Like a sports bra?
I mean, I can see where he's coming from.
But I feel like I'm used to it.
Ivor, a sports bra, a bralette.
Those are considered
in the category of tops.
-Yeah, okay.
-It's a smaller top.
Yeah, I guess so.
[soothing music plays]
[indistinct chatter]
[in Marathi] Alanna's mehendi
look was pastel, right?
Everybody was in pastel.
[in English] Even the boys.
[in Marathi] We will follow the same theme
in your wedding.
[in English] Alanna is four years
older than me.
So, I'm not next in line.
Hi, I am Srushti. I'm 23 years old.
I was born and brought up in Bombay.
[Srushti] I'm a content creator.
I travel a little, so I guess,
somewhat little travel, fashion
content creator.
I don't know, it just
happened to me naturally.
I just don't want to push you.
[in Marathi] Dad thinks that
you should settle down
with a boy who's just like a prince.
But I feel you should get settled
in your career first,
only after that, you know
-[Sanjay] But what's your plan?
-But if I'm there
[in English] Then I'll look there only,
I'll have a white boyfriend.
-Actually
-Obviously.
-[in Marathi] Actually, I don't have
any restrictions as such.
[in English] My mom actually has had
two national awards
for being a writer-producer
and a lot of other things that she does.
She's also a lawyer.
I don't know how they've had me,
to be very honest.
Like, I feel like I'm not as talented.
[in Marathi] Whatever it is,
don't give us a shock!
[in English] I have such simple parents.
It's almost funny.
My dad is like this
simple Maharashtrian man.
Just looking at me like,
[in Marathi] "Srushti, really?"
[in English] And I'm like,
"I don't know. I don't know yet."
[in Marathi] You're doing your
Diploma in Business Management.
How are you going to find time to study?
Now it's Alanna's wedding coming up,
then it'll be something else.
So now, I only have one quarter left.
[in English] That I can do any time
before
-before winter.
-But I have never seen you study.
I don't have to.
It's not a lot of studies.
-But you completed
-So, you know what happened once?
-[Samruddhi] Mm-hmm.
-I had a business
"How To Launch A Successful Business"
was the subject.
-Hmm.
-And I had a test.
-Yeah.
-I've called Hardik.
I mean, like, since he does businesses
he might know the answers.
I've got three out of 20.
-Oh!
-He didn't know 17.
Somebody who has like, I don't know,
25 businesses
didn't know anything
from the business school.
[in Marathi] Hardik has such a major
influence on you, Srushti. Oh, my God.
[in English] Oh, my God.
[Srushti] I think I was one
of the first girls that met Hardik.
I wasn't obsessed, but
I guess, I was. I don't know.
Or you can get like, really,
uh I was like, very fond, I think.
Than normal.
[energetic music stops]
I'm forgetting English.
I'm forgetting words.
[in Marathi] Your dad asks me every day.
-What exactly does Srushti do?
-What does she do?
[in English] I have bigger plans.
Now, the Breakfast Party is launching.
[in Marathi] Have you seen her new
designs for Breakfast Party?
-No, I haven't seen much.
-It's brilliant.
-I don't wanna show the swimwear to Dad.
-[in English] You've to show it to me.
[in Marathi] Why do you feel
that you can't show it to me?
[upbeat song plays]
[Srushti in English] Breakfast Party is a
sustainable swimwear company.
I always wanted to make my own brand,
but just wanted it to be
a little bit more creative
and have a concept behind it.
I think No, I've thought about it.
What do you think sells?
Food and butts.
Literally, everybody's favorite food
is breakfast.
and I mix it with cute bums.
Don't you think that'll be like,
literally, really cool?
-That would sell. Won't it?
-[upbeat song ends]
[upbeat song plays]
-[upbeat song fades]
-Hi, Als.
-I'm here for the big day.
-Hi.
-How's the wedding prep going?
-It's stressful.
I have something to show you.
Please, I'm I'm scared.
I just saw something
while I was like
house browsing for my own house.
So you found a way to spend more money.
-Our thing has never been about money.
-[incoherent background chatter]
What's the rent before I see this?
Just, please
-see the house first.
-Oh, my god, okay.
It is. It's gorgeous.
I will say that. Wow!
Hardik loves to spoil the girls.
I see money as this token that
you need to play this game of life.
It's the perfect content house.
That's why I was so driven to, like,
convince you to do
all of this all over again.
-What's our goal here?
-[instrumental music plays]
You clearly are a living goal.
Like, what you did with yourself
is what we have
-to replicate in these girls.
-[instrumental music stops]
-If we're going to do this again.
-Okay.
I have a few conditions.
-I need complete control.
-[upbeat music plays]
I need the girls to listen to me. I need
the girls to want to do this as much.
You call the shots. I'll just do me.
Like, what I am good at, with
the travel planning and all the fun part.
We just need to make sure
that the ethos always remains
like we need to pursue fun.
And I think we need to let
the money follow.
[Alanna] Hardik is an angel investor.
Tens of hundreds of companies
he's started.
He always will give you
an unlimited budget to do what you love.
His theory is that when you do that,
you will perform your best.
-But that was the issue last time.
-[indistinct background chatter]
Our business model was a money pit
and the girls were
not making enough money.
I don't think the girls last time
actually did get that
much amount of money.
-And also given like
-What are you talking about?
There were unlimited resources
and zero done with it, Hardik.
-I don't think we
-And that's what we need to fix in 2.0.
-You are the fun. I'm the spreadsheet.
-[incoherent chatter]
-Okay?
-Okay, done.
Our business strategies
are very different.
I think he's more spiritual.
Let's just go with the flow.
What are the vibes of this company?
And I'm like, I need a spreadsheet.
Like what's happening?
I've told myself so many things in this
whole journey of starting this movement.
No, bro, it's not a movement,
just chill.
It's like, it's a fucking agency.
Our first initial meeting.
We were so enthusiastic about
We were like, let's start with five girls.
And then we want to have a network
all over the world,
like one in Mexico, one in Bali.
I just want to see like the bigger vision
because then I'm just motivated.
-Yeah.
-Four has been great.
-But I think it's time.
-[upbeat music fades]
Maybe look at getting a fifth girl.
I was hoping you bring this up.
-I was I have this one girl in mind.
-[whimsical music plays]
-Show me the Instagram
-I'm not sure
-because I've been looking.
-if
So I don't think that's a good way of me
trying to convince you to
Give me a name, give me a face.
-Give me something.
-Her name is Alfia Jafry.
-Like Alaviaa?
-Not Alaviaa Jaaferi.
But Alfia Jafry.
-Okay.
-I met her recently.
Can I see her?
Can you give me a face to the name?
There she is.
This is a private account.
I'm a little confused.
We are a content creation agency.
We need someone to add value.
How is she adding value?
I think if we can
make something out of her.
-That will serve as like a Bible
-[energetic music plays]
for the rest of them
to just step up by themselves.
Imagine the whole concept of us
having to work on that from scratch.
-Somehow
-But what does she do?
-Okay [speaks indistinctly]
-I think she cooks.
Alfia cooks.
Alfia dances.
-She likes to cook.
-She cooks.
I mean, I'm up for the challenge.
I need to meet her.
-Okay, just meet her.
-I think
I'm going to invite her
to the bridal shower.
-I think it'll be a nice icebreaker.
-So I can just
-Right? [speaks indistinctly]
-Yeah, yeah.
-Yeah, yeah I
-It's just a casual setting.
All the girls.
I think it'll be a really good icebreaker.
[energetic music ends]
[relaxing music plays]
[birds chirping]
[Aryaana singing]
[in English] Hi, my name is Aryaana.
I'm 22 years old.
I'm a singer, songwriter, and musician.
I need you ♪
[Aryaana] I needed people to recognize me
for something other than,
"Oh, the girl that sings, who
has the same name as Ariana Grande."
Also, my name is Gandhi. Hers is Grande.
Which is again,
a very strange coincidence.
Hopefully one day, maybe, I don't know,
maybe I can be on that level. Who knows?
Shame on you ♪
[doorbell rings]
[upbeat song plays]
[Aryaana]
So, anytime Hardik comes to Bombay,
the first thing they do is come over
to meet my parents.
Simar and Rishab are a musical duo.
They're DJs and producers,
-and they're close friends of all of us.
-[song fades]
Auntie, I am telling you something,
she's my favorite.
-She's my favorite out of
-What did you call me?
No. What have you just called me?
-You call her auntie, she'll give you a
-Oh, shit.
-tight slap!
-Sorry.
Very bad.
When I met Hardik,
I just knew
there was something that I connected.
-Let me tell you that story.
-[speaks indistinctly]
I remember Four Seasons at that time.
-Yeah.
-We were talking,
and the more he spoke
Automatically,
you sound like a scam artist.
The more I thought,
-Yeah, Aryaana is gonna be safe.
-[Hardik speaks indistinctly]
I actually found Aryaana
on my explore page
where she was singing English songs.
So I was like,
this is not the market for you.
[Hardik] And at that point, I was already
working with Simar and Rishab.
So like, okay. Let's all go together
and figure out what's what.
I remember my first conversation
with Hardik, that I had.
-[in Hindi] Here we go again.
-[upbeat music plays]
[in English] You imagine this happening.
Yeah, I went out one night,
and I met Ahaan, Alanna's brother.
He said, "My sister wants your number.
She wants to talk to you."
Alanna called me the next day.
And Alanna said, "We'll travel together
and you know we'll live together."
I said, "Where?"
"In LA."
I was like,
Dude, I don't know what this
girl has bought into.
I don't know what she's doing.
I don't know her but she's
gonna get herself into trouble.
Then she said, just come for a meeting.
I came, met Hardik. He asked me,
"Where do you see yourself in ten years?"
I said I wanted to
touch people's lives with music.
And then he said, "No, no come,
I'll fly you to LA.
And you start doing your music
over there."
And in my head, I was like,
he's going to take my passport and
some crap is going to happen to my life.
Because it's so
How can you believe something,
that's too good to be true?
-He was making me hear her song
-[upbeat song fades]
-on the keyboard.
-[Rishab] Songs. Yeah.
So he's like, "We should make a song
-with her."
-I was like
-This voice, at this age.
-[soft song plays in the background]
Imagine the amount of growth
she can do
when she's culturally put in a
good box, you know.
I don't think anyone does what I do.
So it's fair to say that
it's highly not believable.
I think my gift lies in just bumping
across random people,
trying to see the potential in them,
and building an enterprise around them.
[electric music plays]
This is the color she chose?
This one.
-[woman 1] Yeah.
-You're getting this steam ironed?
I need it to match.
-Okay. Thanks, bro.
-[man 1 speaks indistinctly]
[Alanna] Where's the alcohol?
'Cause nothing has arrived.
[man on call] It's already on site.
Are you sure?
-And the red and the pink?
-[man on call] Yeah, I know.
I threw myself a bridal shower
because I'm a control freak
and I wanted to control it.
Alanna, your jewelry is coming
around 2:00-2:30.
Are you serious?
Okay, right now, I don't have my dress.
It's being altered. I don't have my heels.
And my jewelry is arriving at 2:30,
which is one hour after the event.
So let's hope that
everything comes together.
[Alanna] We kept an all-white theme.
It was super cute.
I got this really nice dress
from this Israeli designer.
I got Ivor really nice clothes.
He decided not to wear them.
-And wear something from Zara.
-No, okay. Listen.
What is this? No!
[upbeat music plays]
-Ivor, no!
-Yeah.
Ivor, this is not the look
we had planned yesterday.
You can't do this to me.
It's not matching my look at all.
Please don't give people
surprises right now.
See, it's good.
Can someone please tell him that
this is too casual?
-Just try on the shirt, once?
-Who's going to tell me?
Don't be biased in this situation.
I want real answers. Okay?
-This? Give me two seconds.
-[indistinct chatter]
-This looks like I stole my
-This is so
-cousin's school outfit.
-much more handsome.
-No, you can't wear a casual T-shirt,
-No.
-Ivor.
-Look, it's terrible.
That shirt that you gave me
looked like it was for,
like, a teenage boy.
-Fine.
-[whimsical music plays]
-Yes
-Obviously, I lost.
Look out.
Now we can be friends
since we agreed on the outfit.
I told you this one's so much better.
We even had a vote.
-And everybody voted that
-Yeah.
-I should wear the shirt that I bought.
-[speaks indistinctly] Sick.
-And it's supposed to be my day.
-[whimsical music ends]
[gentle music plays]
-Wow! Look at this.
-A white wedding.
This is wild.
You're looking enchanted right now.
[gentle music fades]
[Groovy song plays]
Thank you.
-Cute.
-[indistinct mumbling]
-It's too cute, right?
-Okay, we need to shoot content.
Away from the camera?
We go together like peaches and cream ♪
I think we should do this with Mom.
I'm ready.
My mom is a Mom-fluencer.
Kiss you on your cheek?
Without like
I think she's more active than me.
-She actually loves creating content
-She's
-more than you.
-She loves it.
-She does.
-She enjoys it.
[groovy song fades]
All the way up ♪
La, la
La, la, la, la, la ♪
-Ready?
-Ready!
La, la ♪
-Are you feeling good?
-Stressed about this.
-You're stressed?
-It's fun.
Why are you stressed?
Just look at this madness.
It's really hot. And I didn't think
of putting ACs outside
-and I'm just trying to enjoy it.
-Yeah. [speaks indistinctly]
No, but I just thought
I would just tell you
because I don't know
if we will have time to talk about it.
That, I'm just like, really happy for you.
And I'm happy that you're happy.
And I don't think you should
stress about like anything at all,
because
like you've waited for this moment, right?
For so long.
And we're all here for you.
I think that from all
the boyfriends that I've had,
I've never seen Ahaan genuinely
like someone I've been with.
And I feel like he genuinely likes you.
-That's nice. I love your brother.
-Yeah.
And you should tell Ivor that
-ever since I found out about the wedding,
-[whimsical music plays]
I've been practicing boxing, just in case.
-You're mad. I love you.
-And I love you.
And I'm always here for you.
Okay, okay.
-Some girls doing the same thing ♪
-Hi!
-Hi!
-Gorgeous!
How are you? I love that you're on time.
Please call these girls.
I did. They're 25 minutes away.
-What's up?
-Girls are Sorry.
-[man 2] Hi.
-The girls are 25 minutes late.
I'm the first to arrive at most places.
So you need to give me a date.
There is a seismic shift
happening in our tribe,
which I haven't told you yet,
which I need to discuss with you.
As I had, with Alanna, yesterday.
There is a new person
that we've invited to our family
who might probably join us today.
-Today?
-Today. Right now.
He kept saying seismic change.
I didn't know what he was talking about.
All he meant was
there's a new girl coming in.
So I've seen how one person
can change everything.
There's a seismic shift
in your temperament?
I'm a very warm person,
so I will always be warm.
-I know you love
-My temperament is not gonna change.
-What if she's not warm to you?
-So?
Why should that change anything?
[electric music plays]
Step in tomorrow
A whole lot of adults ♪
Let's see what you want me to take it ♪
-You guys look so good.
-[indistinct chatter]
This is Ivor's best man, best friend.
That is Ananya.
-That's my best friend.
-Hi. Nice to meet you.
Ananya is my second favorite cousin.
I'm gonna get killed because of this.
[Alanna] She's also a
leading Bollywood star.
And I'm so proud of her.
Are you going to come on time
for my pheras?
I've taken an off.
I've taken an off on those days.
So, I will be there.
I'll be doing my pheras
and Ananya's gonna walk in.
-Like, "Hi!"
-What did I miss?
Are the pheras still happening?
What's happening?
Ananya was late. She was stuck
in traffic actually.
-Seriously
-[indistinct chatter]
But I'm gonna pretend like
I've been here the whole time.
I cannot imagine Hardik
being a part of this.
-With this big puffer jacket.
-[indistinct chatter]
He's not taken it off
for four days you know that?
How is he wearing it?
-I don't know what
-It's so hot.
It's like something that's giving him
some weird kind of
confidence boost or something.
You know, I think,
in his head, he's still in LA.
Actually, no one even wears that in LA.
So, I don't know what he was thinking.
So, what was Hardik saying?
What was he talking to you about?
I went to say hi.
And then he said there's
a seismic shift, was the term he used.
He said there was someone
joining our family.
-Okay.
-I don't know who it is. He's not saying.
He said he and Alanna
had a long conversation.
She, they want to talk to us all together.
-So, Alanna knows?
-Alanna knows.
-Who do you think it is?
-I have no idea.
-Who do you not want it to be?
-I know.
It's definitely not somebody
we don't want.
No, I don't think they'd do that.
He said you guys have to be warm.
I was like, we are warm people.
I mean, we're not gonna be mean.
Not once have we not been.
-Srushti.
-What?
-Why are you pointing at me?
-Because you were mean to me
when I first came here.
-I was not mean to her.
-She told me,
"No one likes you."
When I came to LA, no one spoke to me.
[Aryaana] Hardik took me out
for a group dinner, thinking
she'd get to know everyone that's here.
Alanna didn't talk to me the whole dinner
because she was talking
to her best friend, the whole dinner.
And then, just as we were about to leave,
I naturally felt the need to ask,
"Oh, can I come?"
and Srushti looked me dead in the eyes.
And then she says,
"No one likes you."
I never said that.
-It was just a joke.
-I can imagine when you're drunk.
-No, no. She was joking.
-Hey, stop it.
We'll take solos of Ananya.
Then let's take the bridesmaids first.
-Maid of honor, bridesmaids.
-So where do we stand?
We'll take one where you all laugh.
-What?
-Laugh? Oh, okay.
She's so good.
She knows exactly what to do.
Is it natural or are we looking crazy?
-Guys, hug.
-Huh? Hug.
Okay.
Can you stop talking about me
when I'm not present?
-Nobody's talking about you.
-Hardik, you
-Hardik, could you tell me, where are you?
-[indistinct chatter]
Are you in Switzerland?
I have said so
-The last time I tried to talk about this.
-One second.
-He says, I don't give a fuck about
-One second.
whoever thinks what.
Alanna told me please wear
decent clothes and come.
This is me wearing decent clothes.
Otherwise, I would have come
in shorts and slippers.
I don't think it looks cool.
I think it's looking very
try-to-be Gujju bhai.
I'm not trying to be, I am one.
-I'll happily own it.
-Yeah, but you're not a Gujju bhai.
[Srushti] It's not how you are!
-He is the most Gujju bhai.
-He's the most
My handle is Majamagram, bro.
What about this fifth girl?
Firstly, you should have
mentioned anything but
I did. I was mentioning it to everyone.
-Like slowly and steadily
-You never mentioned it to me.
So, I was the most nervous
to mention it to you.
-Why?
-Because you guys have something
very much in common.
Have they dated the same guy?
-Not really.
-Oh, then, what?
But I like that school of thought.
-Oh, is it similar to that?
-No, it's not.
-One sec. He was scared to tell you.
-She's pretty cool.
I wasn't scared. I was just like,
-pessimistic about the whole situation.
-Share.
And then we also have to
protect this little
new person from getting overshadowed.
I think it's me who you
like, my thoughts are here all the time.
I think both of you are like that.
[Aryaana] I feel a little bit protective.
I feel like the whole group
right now is in such harmony
and I don't want anything
to get messed up.
[upbeat music plays]
-Cheers, guys.
-Cheers, guys.
Cheers to Alanna and Ivor.
-No.
-[indistinct chatter]
So, we're getting a new girl.
Why did you know
about it before any of us?
Hardik has picked someone.
But I don't know. I've never met her.
-But you know who it is.
-I know who it is.
I have seen her Instagram
But it's private, so I don't know.
And she's going to be our new roommate.
Okay, so can you tell us who it is?
Is she coming today?
Her name is Alfia Jafry.
Oh, my god. Do you know
Is that why this was an issue?
Because she has the same name.
I think Hardik thought it was
Hardik still thinks it is very funny
that both of you guys have the same name.
I'll tell you I am just hoping that
-it's a drama-free situation.
-[cutlery clinks]
Right?
[dramatic music plays]
I was definitely very shocked.
Because she walked in,
I could tell she was super nervous.
[Srushti] I don't know her personally.
So I can't really comment on her yet.
So, I was very surprised that it was Alfia
because I think she's also not like us
girls in a way where,
you know, with our Instagrams,
[Alaviaa] clothes, makeup, and going out.
I think she's very different
in that sense.
Hi, Alfia. How are you?
Thank you for coming.
You look gorgeous.
You know, have you met the girls?
In the start, all the girls
were just talking to each other
and she was just like at one point
just standing there.
[intense music plays]
Hi.
I'm Alfia. Alfia Jafry.
And
Do we have a chair?
[Alfia] I don't know what I'm doing here.
I really don't know what I'm doing.
I don't know whether I'll be
accepted in that group.
[intense music fades]
[upbeat song plays]
I'm not very excited.
You need to push out content every day.
Or you're irrelevant.
[upbeat song ends]
I am not settling.
-I won't share.
-[dramatic music plays]
How do you have no loyalty towards
anyone here?
She's teared up before
we've even said anything.
Do you have glycerin in your bag?
Did you know that
there were snakes here?
The real snakes are at home.
I would have
loved to have a friend like me.
What do you want me to do?
Sit on your head?
I don't defend bullshit.
She's so sensitive.
I have horns.
She's delusional.
She has to go back.
-You argue about everything. Stop it.
-Okay, okay.
[in Hindi] She's just overacting.
[in English] There's always something
beautiful in chaos.
I don't give a fuck.
This is not how we do it.
If she is making up shit now.
-All of you need to give a fuck.
-[dramatic music ends]
[energetic music plays]
[girls shrieking]
[Alanna] Long way to go.
[energetic music fades]
