1
Hey, Bae!
Hey, Bae!
Hey, Bae!
Wherever you walk by
You light up the world
With your words
With your eyes
You light up every path
The world awaits you
Where have you been all this while?
Hey, Bae!
The way you slay
The way you are
The way you talk
Hey, Bae!
Deep in your eyes
Lies your dreams
It's gonna be your day
The world awaits you
Hey, Bae!
Hey, Bae!
Hi!
-Hi!
-Hi.
Hi.
You didn't come back home last night.
Everything okay?
Yeah, I
Sorry about the tea.
I hope you're feeling better now.
Kale smoothie.
Thanks.
So what do we do now?
Follow the leads on
Isha, Shantipriya, and Madhulika?
Or shall we start
with Naina Khanna?
Naina for sure.
All the signs are pointing towards her.
Sometimes to get what we want,
we use "signs" as a crutch
for justification.
Are you okay?
Prince, if something's bothering you
then
Prince!
Okay.
Listen
He's so powerful that he has the
government, the police, and the media
completely under his control.
Girls.
I found it.
I found it!
Look at the hanger at the back!
How do you zoom in?
Zoom in.
Can you see it?
Look behind her!
Wait, let me do it.
It's Manish Malhotra!
That's a chair?
On top of the chair!
Limited edition jackets.
Of which Manish has
made only nine pieces.
We need the names of the nine
customers who bought these jackets.
The name that matches on both lists,
is Anamika!
But who's going to speak to Manish?
Bae, of course.
Mom! She swears by him.
Manish's store is my
mom's second home.
We get our table napkins from there too.
Of course, technical problem.
Your mom has been avoiding
your calls for a while now.
So we can try from our phones?
Maybe then she picks up.
And we'll hand it over to Bae.
Give me the digits.
The number you're trying to call
-That's not mom.
-is
-switched off.
-It's switched off, Bae.
-Please try again later.
-Wait.
Her switched-off
message is in Marathi.
That means she's in Maharashtra?
Isn't this coming Sunday
the first Sunday of February?
Yes?
Which means
The Annual Indian Derby In Mahalakshmi!
Mom has to be there!
Girls I have to go to the Derby.
Then I'm coming with you.
What?
You never miss a chance to bet, do you?
Come on, it's not about betting.
I'm doing it for moral support.
My girlies before ponies, always!
Okay fine, let's do this together.
Okay?
But the Derby in these clothes?
-I'm your girl you know!
-Guts!
Come what may!
Daylight or midnight
Yeah, you got me, girl!
I'm your girl you know!
Come what may!
These hats are quite fascinating,
I must say.
Little fashion GK.
They're called fascinators.
Oh!
Come, let's go.
-Hey listen, I'll see you!
-Come on now, move it!
It's our time you know it
The world is full of sunshine
We're just trying to move it!
The list is long
-One second, please.
-But we're gonna get through it
Tag along with me
-Who are you betting on?
-There's nothing we can't do
I'm your girl you know!
Come what may!
Daylight or midnight
Yeah, you got me, girl!
I'm your girl you know!
-Come what may!
-Mom!
-Daylight or midnight
-Mom!
-Wow! It's me!
-Yeah, you got me, girl!
Mom!
Hi.
Oh, my dear!
Yeah, you got me, girl!
Mom, please wait!
Mom!
Oh, my God!
Mom!
Mom, wait up! Or else I'll tell
everyone that I'm your daughter.
She's lying.
She's not with me.
Mom.
-Mom!
-What is it?
I've never asked you for help.
But I really need you today.
Please.
Unless you know a nuclear bunker
where nobody can see us.
-I can't speak to you.
-I know just the place! Okay?
Saira!
Just coming
Just give me one second.
Hey, listen!
Just come with me.
You've got to be kidding me.
Nobody recognizes you here.
Everyone keeps to themselves.
It's perfect.
This is filthy!
Filth!
What shall I get you?
Fried potato sandwich, samosa pav,
onion fritters, mixed fritters?
Nothing. I'd rather die
than eat anything here.
-Thank you very much.
-Okay, sure.
Clear up the space then.
-There are lots of people queuing up.
-What?
Hey, man, you can come here!
Excuse me?
Yeah, you can sit here.
He's so rude!
Pakya brother, don't mind.
How are you doing?
Fit and fine!
Your wife is back from the village?
No, she's still there, she's pregnant.
Oh, okay. Get us two friend
potato sandwiches for now.
Make one extra spicy.
Along with the sweet and tangy sauce.
And a little bit of "kaanda"
on the side, please.
-Okay!
-Thank you.
What's "kaanda"?
They call onions "kaanda" here.
You're eating raw onions, Bella?
What's next?
Betel leaf? Tobacco?
Anyways, tell me, what do you want?
I need you to speak to Manish.
Yeah.
I figured.
Looking at how you're dressed.
I can't believe I'm doing this but
Tell me, what do you want?
Be a little quick, I have
a brunch to go to.
Mom, I don't want any clothes.
The limited edition jackets from the
collection Manish designed last season?
I need the list of those buyers.
Have you lost it?
You think I'm going to ask
Manish for a list of his buyers?
Not happening.
Mom, you probably haven't
noticed but I'm a journalist now.
And I'm uncovering a huge story.
I really need that list.
I finally found my purpose.
I gave you a purpose, Bella.
Agastya.
That was your purpose!
I didn't even know
what I really wanted.
That's why I did what I believed
was best for you.
You chose the most convenient path.
You married the first rich man
that you met.
Oh! You have no idea
about my struggles.
And you have no idea about mine.
Have you heard of
a place called Sagar?
Like the sea?
Sagar is a tiny hamlet in Madhya Pradesh.
My father was a bank clerk there.
You said he was in the police force
and you're from Delhi.
Fake story!
I had to make one up.
For your father's family.
So what's the real story?
The real story is that
I'm the third of three sisters.
Our needs exceeded our means.
All I had was my looks.
I left home and came to
Mumbai to become a film actress.
I did a song in one of the films.
That's where your dad saw me.
And that's that.
That means you had the fire
within you to prove yourself?
Do you think you're the only girl in all
of India who's left home and come to
Mumbai with fire in her eyes?
Mom, you finally get me.
I get you, Bella.
And that's why I'm trying
to explain it to you.
All this spiel about
drive, fire, and ambition
sound the best at beauty pageants.
In real life, you've got to be practical.
Mom, I don't care about being practical.
I don't run away from
my emotions like you do.
How dare you, Bella?
Do you remember when you
took away the riding helmet from me
and handed me a Derby hat?
You're still the same.
It's the same race course.
But I have changed.
And I've finally chosen
a hat of my own liking.
If you feel like helping,
that would be great.
Otherwise, I'll manage on my own.
Enjoy your brunch.
You seriously left Bae alone
and started betting?
You need help, sis.
I was only away for a little while.
And then, she just disappeared.
Go, talk to her.
Saira.
Bae, listen.
Listen, I'm so sorry, I
Why the long face?
This is my thinking face.
What are you dressed up as today?
A deceased mother's spirit.
Who has restlessly appeared back
on Earth to help her children
through the struggles
of final exams.
Wow! You sure look the part.
Right?
I know.
But now I need to feel the part.
I need to work a little on
expressing motherly love.
I've dived into the process.
Even a deceased mother comes
back to Earth to help her children.
And then there's my mother!
I'm activating my motherly love, you see?
-Bae
-Bae.
To the cabin.
Tonight is a big night for SS.
Double-checked the speech?
You sent out the list of achievements?
Okay.
Listen, you didn't hurt
yourself that day, right?
That day when I was
hanging from the ceiling?
I was a bit afraid. But then I
channelized all my years of Aerial Yoga.
So I was fine.
Thanks for asking.
Actually, Harleen, we need more of
SS's childhood photos for the slideshow.
We don't have enough.
So, let me just
I'll do that, don't worry about it.
I actually have to go!
Sorry, sorry, sorry!
Gayatri ma'am has sent this.
Naina Khanna?
I know!
What happened?
The deceased mother returned to
help her children with their final exams!
But this list also has
Madhulika Sahay's name on it.
But Naina ticks all the boxes.
That means we have to go to Lonavala.
To Naina's silent retreat.
But I have to go to the INA Awards
tonight with Neel.
Great, that's not a problem.
I'll go.
Just keep in touch and confirm
that Naina is our Anamika, okay?
And I'll tell Neel pronto.
-Done.
-Thank you so much.
Oh, what a couple!
Smile!
Just a second.
-Yeah, tell me.
-Leave now!
What?
You guys are kicking me out of the house?
Leave work right away, silly.
-We have to go to Lonavala.
-Lonavala?
We'll go during the monsoons, man.
It'll be hot and humid right now.
Naina Khanna is the second
buyer on Auntie Gayatri's list.
And she's in Lonavala right now.
And we need to go
as soon as possible.
I'm at work, how do
you expect me to leave?
My shift has just started.
Look, Bae needs us right now.
And don't you remember,
girlies before ponies?
More like donkeys.
Okay, let me figure this out.
Great!
I took quite a few.
Hope you like them.
They're candid, sir! Add a little
background music and post it right away.
It'll make a fantastic reel. And get
really high engagement, I promise.
#couplegoals.
You must put this one up.
See how cute he was as a child?
A chip off the old block.
At least, now people will
believe that he's really my son.
Come on, don't say that.
We're going to show these
pictures tonight at the awards.
Yeah!
Actually, why don't you come to
the Confessional set on Monday?
We'll take a bunch of photos with Satya.
You always invite me.
But he never does.
It doesn't matter who does,
it's the same thing.
Hi, Sonal. Tell me.
Oh, my God!
Harleen!
-Got the forms?
-Yes!
Honestly, I can't believe my brother
is letting me do this.
But I'm sure, you would've convinced him.
Listen,
Makeup Academy of Paris is one of the
best-rated makeup schools in the world
Thank you, thank you!
Sonal, what do you mean?
The priest doesn't have any
more marriage proposals?
He has only sent eight till now.
The priest?
Are you planning on studying
or getting married?
What?
No way, not for me!
Then?
Just look at the trouble
Satya is causing me.
We've been searching for a match for him
for over a year now.
He doesn't like anyone.
Look. Look at this picture!
She's from Jamshedpur.
She's done a Bachelor in Legislative Law!
What's so wrong about her?
Actually, Auntie
I'm getting late for the awards.
So, I'll take your leave.
-Oh! Okay, fine.
-Yeah.
-See you soon.
-Sure, come over again.
Harleen?
Should I speak to my brother?
No.
This is between me and him.
Prince!
Okay. I am clearly not shoulder pads
that went out of fashion in the 90's.
So why have you been avoiding me?
I saw Neel and you kiss that night.
Prince
Come.
Prince, I'm really sorry. But you have to
understand that I'm not in love with you.
Yeah, I realized that too.
-I wanted to tell you that day.
-No, I meant
I realized that I'm not in love with you.
When Neel kissed you,
I didn't feel a thing.
Why would you feel anything?
He kissed me!
I mean, I didn't feel bad about it.
Maybe I have feelings for someone else.
And I just feel terrible about it.
Why terrible?
You're in this mess all because of me.
If not for me,
you would still be living the fancy
influencer life at the Chowdhary mansion.
Exactly.
That life is great only on social media.
Sometimes I wish I could go back in time
and change everything.
But I don't want to change a thing.
Whatever happened,
happened with my own will.
So don't blame yourself.
I came here for you.
And now, I'm drifting towards
someone else
I feel so disgusted with myself.
Prince!
They don't make men like you anymore.
You're going down an unnecessary spiral.
I don't miss that life.
I felt suffocated in that marriage.
Actually, I should thank you.
For bringing me here.
Okay, so tell me.
Where did you find a girl better than Bae?
I'm getting late!
Are you blushing?
Okay, tell me who it is.
Please!
It's a work in progress.
Let's see how it goes.
You have great taste, my friend.
I know.
-Let me reply to her, please.
-No, actually.
I would like to take it slow this time.
Oh, really?
Okay.
Tammu?
-No, not Tammu.
-Tam-Tam?
-Tammu, right?
-Yeah, Tammu.
Everything is fine, right?
-Stop looking into my phone!
-No, that's just great, you know.
Honestly, that's absolutely amazing.
-Hi!
-Hi!
Namaste.
I bow down to the divine in you.
Are you registered?
Actually, Mr. Bakshi has
sent us to cover a story.
Aren't you a little late?
He passed away over a decade ago.
He didn't, actually. It was his son
who sent us. Junior Mr. Bakshi.
We're here to cover a story.
On the business models
of wellness centers. Yeah!
So can we do a tour of your retreat?
Wellness
Wellness and hospitality
same business you know?
Actually, I'm a very important consultant
on this very important story.
That's great, ma'am.
But such tours of the retreat
are not allowed.
Look.
Ms. Maya.
We are thinking of a potential
collaboration with your retreat
with our hotels too.
So don't miss this opportunity.
Mr. Bakshi
the
-the Treasurer's son
-He won't be very happy.
So we only need half an hour, please.
You know what, it's okay.
-I was just texting him this morning and
-No, no, that's fine.
You can submit your mobile phones
and any electronic gadgets over here.
Alright.
No sound beyond this point.
Could I get a diary and a pen, please?
English?
Hindi?
English?
Stop playing games and tell
me who you think is the father!
Naina!
Nainu!
-I'm so so sorry, Naina.
-Nainu?
I can't take this silence anymore.
You brought it upon yourself, Vikram. So.
But you know our IPO
is getting launched tomorrow?
And if everyone in the
market finds out the truth.
Listen. I do not want to
have a conversation about this.
I've suffered enough, Vikram.
So?
Haven't I suffered as well?
First, they threw me out of the company.
And then when I finally made up
with the investors, I was raided!
And you know why this happened?
Because of this!
Your pregnancy test.
The other day you brought this
to my house.
And when Dad found out,
he threw me out of the company.
And then after
your Confessional episode aired,
they raided my team, Pune Pehlwans
because of this!
He told me I had to choose Nainu!
Between the family, and you!
And you know what I realized?
You are my family.
This baby is my family.
And now I want to announce it
to the whole world.
That I am the father of this baby!
What?
Please, Vikram.
I'm serious, Nainu!
We should announce this
to the media tomorrow itself.
In fact, I promise you,
I will fire that fucking publicist
who told me not to tell
anybody about our baby.
It's not enough, Vikram.
Will this be enough?
Oh, my God!
This is a contagious disease!
I feel like a cupid on wheels.
Wherever I go, people
start proposing to each other.
First Adhiraj and Diva.
And now, them.
Yes!
Enough of this, we're done, let's go.
Our phones.
We need our phones, please.
Sir, sir, look here once.
Look this way, please, sir.
Ma'am, this way.
Look here!
Did you see the ratings?
This is the reign of Satyajit Sen!
Hi, Faye.
-Congratulations, Satyajit!
-Thank you!
Well, journalism aside,
the real skill is obviously
making friends in the right places.
Or how to not make enemies.
Also a skill.
We report the news
that people want to see,
But it's always the messenger
that gets shot.
And you're the one
who gets the award too.
My God!
Esteemed journalist Faye D'Souza,
are you implying
that I buy these awards?
Listen, you said it!
Not me. But the truth
is finally out there.
Let's call it, the confession
of Satyajit Sen.
-Congratulations on the award!
-Thank you.
To you and your team.
The teams keep changing.
Today there's somebody,
tomorrow there will be another.
I am a one-man army.
-Cheers, Satyajit!
-Cheers, Faye!
Ma'am, look here, please.
Ma'am, left!
Right, right!
Oh, thank you.
-Oh!
-Oh, hi!
Hi. Faye.
Hi, Faye.
I am Bae! We rhyme.
-Okay.
-I really want to to ask you a question.
Alright.
What is the difference between
Big Brother and Journalism?
Well, I admire your sarcasm.
There used to be a difference,
but now everything is the same.
In fact, if you ask me, there's
even more acting in TV news.
Just look at Satyajit.
Here's a little tip from me.
If you are looking
for real journalism
switch off your TV set.
It's not on TV anymore.
Enjoy the party!
Thank you.
Hi, you're late.
Hi. I found Anamika!
-I have the name.
-Okay.
Is it confirmed?
It will be confirmed
in just a minute.
Wait!
She's not picking up.
Must be on silent.
-I'll try again.
-Right.
Look, I'm already feeling suffocated here.
So, only when you get something concrete
Naina Khanna is Anamika!
Mukul Sawla has been harassing her
because
he is most probably
the father of the baby.
Most probably?
-Yeah.
-You have her on record saying this?
I don't know.
Maybe.
Maybe is not good enough, Bae.
I have already explained
this to you before.
I'm not SS. I need facts.
Just because we have something personal
going on,
I can't indulge you professionally.
That's why I was saying
we shouldn't have.
Without you, my heart isn't complete
How do I put this feeling in words?
How do I?
Déjà Vu?
Samar!
Watching you drink alone
is always a bad omen.
What are you doing here?
Invited obviously.
We are doing a deal with
Thought Telecom soon.
And Thought Telecom
sponsors these awards.
What?!
Samar, please don't go through
with this deal.
Mukul Sawla is not
who you think he is.
Why do you always
want to ruin deals for us?
-What is your problem?
-The problem is that
There's a big story about Mukul Sawla
coming out very soon.
I can't tell you more,
but please don't associate with him.
Then the best thing
for you to do right now,
and I say this because you are still
family,
is to not let the story come out. Okay?
And I'll see to it that you're back home.
Maybe not Bella Chowdhary, but at
least you'll become Bella Rajwansh again.
What say?
Sir, look here. Please!
Is that Anisha Mehra?
Yeah, that's her.
She's good for him.
He's moved on.
And frankly, you should too.
Eyes overflow
Heart broken, oh!
If you leave and go away
Then I'm lost
After countless prayers
Then I found you, oh!
I bow down to you, my beloved
Oh, my Lord, do tell me
What else shall I do?
That all this separation
Gets separated, my love
Don't look away
Don't look away
How should I make it up to you?
I hate these separations
These separations
Don't look away
Don't look away
My love
Oh, my love!
My heart is going crazy
Seeking you in every nook
It finds solace nowhere
Your love has no cure
You burnt all my letters
Burnt them all
But my love burns brighter than them all
My crazy tears
Keep running
But my breath stops
Oh, my Lord, do tell me
What else shall I do?
That all this separation
Gets separated, my love?
Don't look away
Don't look away
How should I make it up to you?
I hate these separations
These separations
Don't look away
Don't look away
My love
Don't you leave me
Like that
Don't you leave me like that
The number you are dialing is busy.
Please try later.
-Please don't go, my love
-Okay, I've had enough.
I'm calling the cops.
Wait a minute.
Yes, Som.
I'll see to it that you all get
the best ad spot.
Thanks again for sorting this out.
Country Head.
Yes, sir.
Understood, sir.
Okay, sir.
Okay, ma'am.
You all can leave.
Harleen.
Thanks again, for what you did for me.
It was not for you.
TRP's reputation is above everything else.
Good morning!
They made us do Vipassana for
two hours before finally letting us go.
Remember the time when
you gave me a shoulder rub?
It felt just like that.
But for two whole hours.
Bae, listen we're really sorry.
The receptionist just
wouldn't give us our phones.
Let it be, Saira.
That day at the race course, you
made it clear what's important to you.
Bae, please let go of
your anger and listen to us.
-The list that your mom gave
-It was useless. I know.
No, it wasn't. It was gold.
We found Anamika!
There was one more name on Auntie's list.
Madhulika Sahay.
See this.
That's so mean.
Your city got me grooving to its beat
There is euphoria in the air
And butterflies in my stomach
I don't need anyone with me
With the stars moving beside me
The sky is lit and I'm ready to fly
All it took was for me to listen
To my heart
The world became mine
Film City.
If you refuse again,
I'll have your permit suspended.
My dreams and desires
Seem fulfilled
Newer roads and journeys
Don't scare me anymore
My dreams and desires
Seem fulfilled
Newer roads and journeys
Don't scare me anymore
Where's Maddy's Vanity Van?
Maddy?
Are you new here?
Sorry, ma'am, I am.
Madhulika Sahay's vanity van?
Oh, yeah!
But, ma'am, who are you?
She asked for a stylist.
Who is it?
Madhulika, I just need five minutes.
Hi, Anamika.
When will you break the story?
