[soft music plays]
[dramatic music plays]
[Srushti] It had nothing to do with you.
-I was telling him.
-Stop it, Srushti.
-There's no need to argue on everything.
-Don't yell at me.
No, five times when I've told you nicely
You need to understand rather
than arguing every time.
[Simar] Can someone tell me
what is going on?
I just said, Nirvan's coming here,
so we can ask him to get eggs.
Bro, yesterday she called him
my boyfriend. It's happened five times.
I've told her to stop taking his name.
[Aryaana] Alfia, why are you crying?
I'm not, but I'm frustrated.
Of what?
-That I said it while I was
-Srushti, you argue on everything.
-Okay, okay, okay.
-Stop it!
Chill, guys. What happened?
-I have no idea.
-Why are you crying?
-What happened to you?
-It's just Five times,
I've told her that
this is the one thing,
-that scares the shit out of me.
-It's okay.
It's okay. Calm down.
And then on top of that,
"Why are you doing this?
Why are you saying this?"
We are sensitive about
what you don't want us
-to talk about, right?
-I know, it just comes out.
[Rishab] It just comes out within,
like, a second and it's
-[Rishab] It's just that she's used to
-It's happened too many times
-since yesterday, Rishab.
-[Rishab] Okay, okay.
[Simar] Who pissed her off?
[Aryaana] You okay?
I don't need this.
I don't cry for stupid shit.
-Can you calm down? Okay
-I'm tired of this. She's going on and on.
-Can you listen to me?
-Don't fuck with the one thing
-that is important.
-Listen Listen to me.
[Rishab] Okay, listen to me at least.
Can you calm down?
Can you stand? One second.
What do I say? I really thought
he could get eggs right now,
so I said, let's text Nirvan
to get eggs. It's life.
Yeah, but Srushti, I feel like,
if she's said it, just don't say it.
Like, how do I say? Sign language?
[Alanna] Nirvan is my cousin.
He's a really close friend of the group.
We all travel together.
He chooses not to be on camera.
[Aryaana] Even though he's a part
of our friend group in real life,
he stays away from
all CollabTribe content.
Nirvan and Alfia, I think, have
known each other since they were kids.
I think, they're best friends and
have been since they were children.
Okay, he's her best friend.
But he's also been my friend and I don't
feel like it's wrong to just say his name.
Why?
-I know.
-What the hell?
Can you have water?
Disgusting!
It can be solved. Chill.
I don't want to solve it
because I'm fried.
-It's a little extreme.
-[Srushti] But what
Just because I've said it
I didn't say anything.
[Hardik] Oh, hello! What happened?
This was the biggest mistake
of my life.
[Hardik] What happened?
-[crying loudly]
-What is she doing? What happened?
Okay, have water.
Are you mad? What happened?
What happened to you?
-[in Gujarati] Stop crying.
-[Rishab shushes]
-[in English] What happened? It's okay
-Have water.
[Alfia sniffles]
Since yesterday, she's called him
my boyfriend.
Five times, I have told her to stop taking
Nirvan's name very nicely.
Right now, I pulled her to like
discuss with Srush very nicely.
I swear on Allah, I said
She's like,
"You cannot tell me what to do.
It's irrelevant whose name I take.
I'll call him Karan. I'll call"
I said, "Srushti,
it's happened too many times." And then
she's like, "Why are you huffing?
Why are you doing this?"
-I'm fucking fried, man!
-Okay
You have to be a little mindful, man.
When I got divorced,
my name was linked with
three of my closest friends
because of which
I had to stop talking to two of them.
I don't want that to happen
to another friend of mine.
Probably the only friend
I have in my life. He's my best friend.
[Alfia] And when you are linked
to some person with some back story,
there are consequences
to their personal life,
which I have been trying to protect.
I don't like my name
being attached to anyone at this point
because I'm not ready for it.
I had been asking her
since we went on that trip that
please, can you not, like, do this?
Sometimes you need to stop arguing,
for a change.
There are things that matter to people.
-She's still yelling?
-[Hardik speaks indistinctly]
And then to provoke saying,
"But you do this.
But why? It's irrelevant."
I'm talking to Rishab."
I'm standing there.
-Oh, my God. What's going on?
-Did I say that?
Did I say it with an attitude
that I'm talking to Rishab?
She's like,
"But he's coming here." Why?
Bro, I
I don't wanna
I don't know how to react.
-I'm just gonna shut up.
-This is a lot.
-This is a lot.
-This is a lot.
I know how Srushti is, so I don't
take it like, seriously,
-you know, what I'm saying
-But I didn't say it. Sometimes, I say
things that I don't mean,
but I didn't say anything.
-You say it in a harmless way
-I did not say anything.
-I usually say things that could hurt.
-Yeah I'm just saying
-But I didn't say anything this time.
-But when you do also, we know you,
-so we don't take it, you know, to heart.
-But I didn't say anything.
I honestly, didn't know what to feel.
[Srushti] I didn't believe that
it was real, at first.
I thought it was like, she was probably
going to burst out laughing and be
like [imitates laughter]
Or I don't know
how it escalated to that level.
But why are you crying? Are you mad?
Because you guys are making me.
I was fine and then you guys
were like, it's okay.
You have to like, try to build like,
-a little thick skin. You can't be
-I told her nicely five times.
I'm tired.
Then to be provoked all day,
it's not cool.
You know, from the morning, I wake up,
I have not given anybody
the right to do that.
It's because I really like her,
I give her that right.
But in front of five people,
I have told her a hundred times,
-don't do certain things with me.
-[Hardik] Okay, let me speak to her.
[Hardik in Gujarati] First please
stop crying. Just stop taking
-[in English] First, have water.
-Please.
You've got asthma. Just breathe first.
Every second night
I'm sick, I show up
and yet I'm being told,
"You have tantrums. You need to stop."
Everyone wakes up late,
does whatever the hell they want to do.
And I'm tired. It's been five days
-Okay, you breathe first.
-I'm only hearing,
-Alfis
-everybody go at it with me.
[Aryaana] Since Alfia's been in LA,
she's had a lot of days
where she hasn't felt good.
Like, something was setting her off
every second day
and I knew that it was only a matter
of time, something's gonna trigger her.
[Aryaana] I didn't know how
and I didn't know when.
I want to go home.
I can't. I don't wanna
do this anymore. Screw everything.
[Alaviaa] Have some water.
You'll feel better.
Just have a little bit.
I was feeling really bad for Alfia because
like, I don't care what the situation is,
but if someone's sitting there,
sobbing and crying, like,
[Alaviaa] you have to go understand
what they're going through.
[Aryaana] When I see someone
that I love in distress,
I'm not going to go
comfort the other person
who put them there in the first place.
What I'm becoming here is not who I am.
[Alfia sniffles] And
every day, five times a day,
I'm being told in the morning,
you know, how I have
"I'm tacky, I'm this"
-I keep my mouth shut.
-Who told you this?
I'm tired.
But, you know what,
I'll tell you something.
Srushti says things
that she doesn't think about
But, Alaviaa, I have let that pass
when it was about me.
There have been a lot
of things said about me.
This is a part of my life
that is very sensitive.
-What did you do?
-Als, what's the whole story?
[Alanna] But it was nothing
to get such a bad reaction.
All I said was, "Oh, we want eggs?
I think we can just
ask Nirvan to get eggs."
But I was telling that to Rishab
as a personal conversation.
Because I mentioned that name,
I think it just
Because that person is related to her so
everything's about her or I don't know
It's weird. And then the fact,
the yelling, which is out of the world.
She doesn't have copyrights to that name.
I have been friends with him way before
than I've been friends with her.
And it's more normal for him
to be in this setting than her.
So, I don't know why she got triggered
that I said his name.
[Alfia sniffles]
Hardik, she's done nothing wrong.
And in five or four years
of us doing these trips,
nothing like this
has ever happened before.
This is not how our friendships work.
She's going through a process of,
like, assimilating inside
-and whatever. Just let her
-Okay that's fine. Everyone's going
-go through.
-through every process.
-No, I'm not saying that
-We all have been overwhelmed.
no one is going through anything.
Everyone is pretty strong.
I'm just saying that
-I'm just saying that
-let her
-Alanna, everyone's different.
-do her shit.
She's come in, she's new.
I'm not defending. I'm just saying that
you don't know
what she's going through either.
You don't know what
anyone's going through, Alaviaa.
-Yeah, but
-Everyone's going through their own thing.
Even Hardik, who does all this, who
is in a position to yell at someone,
-has never yelled at anyone.
-Yeah. Never yelled.
You don't communicate like that.
It's not how you talk to friends.
Exactly.
-She has confided in me,
-But I'm just saying
and said she wants to go back
multiple times.
I have spoken to her one-on-one.
I have been there for her.
I'm not like, leaving her alone.
If anything, I'm the closest to her.
So, I don't know what happened.
She's having a lot of emotions
that she's not able to process,
which is completely fine.
But I have Like why
We were having so much
fun together. I'm constantly there,
no matter what complaint she has.
I could be somebody who has
an attitude, but not with her.
Like, I've been my best with her.
I'd have loved to have a friend like me
if I'd have just come
-to a brand new country.
-[dramatic music fades]
Guys, she's probably
just really overwhelmed and
I'm not saying it's right
that she snapped.
But we also have to understand
that after she has calmed down,
just sit down together
and have a conversation.
Does anyone know where she went?
Like, which direction?
-Uh down.
-She wanted to be alone though.
[intense music plays]
Alfis!
And also, Srushti has really been
one of the girls
going out of her way to help her.
-I've seen it,
-Yeah, so have we all.
she's squatting on the floor,
taking her videos, editing, like
I'm not saying it's justified.
I'm just saying that you never know
what someone's going through.
Hello! Imagine now, we don't know
what's going on in her personal life.
Yeah. But I'm not saying that she's right,
or she's wrong. I'm not saying that.
I'm saying, this is not how we do things.
You know, what your impression is
in Bombay?
It's that this girl always likes
to make herself the victim.
Then the only thing
I want to do is to make
people believe that, okay, she started
a new journey and turned her life around.
Yeah, I usually don't, like,
listen to people.
Somehow, sadly, like,
when Alfia came here for the first time,
like, what I was seeing
through my own experience also,
somehow kinda matched that narrative of
what I was hearing about her in Bombay.
I think her temper's too high.
I feel like this could've also
just been avoided very easily.
If there's any rift between
the five of us, it's going to show.
We're supposed to be
an example for other girls.
Like, we can't have this
"Let's claw each other's eyes out."
Not you. You don't have claws only.
But if you keep on doing this,
you know, the naysayers
-are going to be proven right.
-I'm not victimizing
-myself, Hardik.
-I know that.
[in Hindi]
What's the need to talk so much?
[in English]
This Hardik also is no less, bro.
I'm pretty sure he must be telling her,
"She says stuff, don't worry.
Don't react like that."
If I wanted to victimize myself,
it would have been very different.
-I've had fights with everyone here.
-[Hardik] Hmm.
Have you seen me cry because of that?
It affects me when I care
that you don't do this to me.
I care about you.
If you call someone your
close friend, they're also allowed to
[clicks tongue] They're also allowed
to act like one, right?
I know I'm being misunderstood
at every step of the way
and that is what I came to clear here.
-Can I No, I get it
-Now, do you get it?
There was a lot that
I was feeling bad about on this trip.
A lot of times, I make videos
with the girls, but I'm not in it
eventually, when the post goes out and
I know it all sounds very petty.
But sometimes,
I feel like, a little sidelined.
[Alfia] Then, I was also
feeling really misunderstood.
People were misunderstanding
my strong-headed nature for arrogance.
She thinks that
she's getting cornered by everybody.
Okay, that is the complete opposite
of what's actually happening.
Hardik said that some people have had
an issue with the way she talks to them.
-I mean, but those are all facts.
-So, she's
So, she's delusional.
Did someone say anything
about tacky clothes?
-Tacky clothes?
-Yeah.
-I was like, who has said this?
-From our group?
Like, I'm so confused.
I don't know where that has come from
because no one has like, said anything.
To be very honest, like,
I'm a little scared
because I'm constantly in like a way
where, "Did I say something to hurt her?
Is she feeling left out?
Is she feeling included?"
You know, my dad was like,
"You
[in Hindi] "If I scold you on
your food habits, you start crying.
How will you manage all this?"
I fought and I said,
"No, I'll stay very strong."
[in English] And because of these things
my parents were scared that I'd come here
and this would happen.
And you're proving them right.
-And that's what is affecting me.
-So, I'm just saying that
But what is there to say?
So much bad stuff about me
there is to say that
they have been at it for so long?
It's not about you, man. You're not
I'll never say eggs in my life anymore.
We've come here
to shoot content, people
"Pooja, what is this behavior?"
-"Get off my back. Got it?"
-"My back."
It just seems to me that
she just wants attention a little bit.
I was drinking my coffee,
and all of a sudden, I was like,
oh, I don't feel very good.
And I had to walk away.
Somebody's going home.
[Alanna] Ivor! How can you say this?
Ivor does not hold back.
And I don't want my wife
around emotionally unstable people.
-[Ivor speaks indistinctly]
-Yeah, fair enough.
Why? You think they're going to rub off
on me and you've to deal with it at home?
-I learned this at work today.
-It might be subconscious.
I'm going to try it at home.
You guys are so funny.
No one knew how to react.
It was just awkward
because we've never experienced anyone
yelling at anyone like that.
This Alaviaa is going.
What does she think she can do?
I think Alfia and Alaviaa
are going to be the new
The new Srush and Alfia.
-Since yesterday, five times,
-Okay, come
-I'm trying to talk coolly.
-[Hardik] Okay, just come.
-I'll make everything okay between you.
-[Rishab] It's okay.
-[Rishab] Okay, first stop crying.
-Can you people give me five minutes alone
-is what I'm saying.
-[Hardik] It's been half an hour.
The cameras are not leaving.
You all are not leaving.
-[Hardik] That's because Okay, we need
-Hardik, I swear I'm palpitating.
-Y'all
-Okay, we'll go.
[Hardik] But we can't leave you alone
like this because you are palpitating.
No, I'll be fine.
I just need to be alone for five minutes.
-Okay, cool.
-Guys, you all got your content?
Please
I have not healed from
a lot of things in my life till today.
I don't say it aloud
because again, the insecurity of,
"She's victimizing herself.
[Alfia] Oh, she's playing this card."
For years, I didn't speak
about my diabetes to anyone
because people used to say
I used my health card.
These broken pieces that I have
of my health and my
emotional vulnerability, everything.
There's a lot more to me
that I bring to the table
than this side of me.
Okay, done?
Yes. Go.
She's like, if I fall,
I'll take him with me.
[Alanna] Apparently, while this
whole thing was going on
Rishab and my mom were taking a joyride
around the campgrounds.
[in Hindi] There's nothing else,
this is life. You can't even talk.
-[in Hindi] She's just overacting.
-Yes.
There was overacting here as well.
[in English] It's kinda little bit like,
you know, her point was that only
that she's gone through a lot
and she got hurt a little bit
because she loves you the most.
And then when you said something,
that kinda, she didn't like it.
Group-wise, harmony-wise,
you think this is good for everyone?
This is like, very volatile,
hostile behavior.
I just don't think any of us
need to be in a position
where we're scared to say things.
She's like, "I don't wanna be here."
-Can't have that.
-She's like, "Everyone talks about me."
-Bro, that's not happening.
-That's what, I was just like
But why would she say
everyone talks about her?
-I think we've all been really nice.
-In every situation
Alaviaa, you've just come.
Imagine how much we've been
No, but I don't think we've like
-I've literally, like, from day one
-No one has said
anything bad about her
I have made her bed.
I have folded her clothes for her.
Because I'm spending so much time
with her, it comes naturally to her.
So she constantly has little problems.
And in my ears,
constantly like, this and that
But it's nothing too big that
kinda makes her feel not welcome.
She says to Kyle also,
"Oh, I take you like a brother."
She asked him to do this and that.
"Fill my water bottle.
You know how much ice I like."
That's all very, like,
-everyone's welcomed her very nicely.
-Everyone has.
Guys, I could've been mean,
because she was chatting shit about me
before I even came.
-Yeah. Exactly. Her reaction
-But I like
But you were also chatting shit
about her before you came.
-No, I wasn't.
-She knows. She's told me.
-What? I've said zero.
-And I can't
Bro, I've never spoken about her.
I don't even know her.
-How do you know?
-Because she's heard and she's told me.
She's probably making it up then
because clearly, she's making up shit now.
[dramatic music plays]
You have fully switched sides now.
Yeah, but why would she say that?
And you know when I say things,
I'll say, I said it.
-Like, I'm that person. I'd say it.
-I don't believe that either.
Aryaana, I told you, when I said things,
I said things, I say it.
-Sure.
-[gentle song plays]
I didn't expect the trip to end like that
[gentle song fades]
-[in English] Yeah?
-Can I come?
[Srushti] The house was not a tense place.
It was all fine.
I feel like it was her.
If she was in any setting,
she kinda had that face.
She was just like
I thought that we should talk
about what happened yesterday.
I've no idea what happened yesterday.
I want you to say
whatever you feel right now.
I have nothing to say, to be very honest.
I just know that I haven't been yelled at
like this since eighth grade.
I want to apologize
because I snapped at you
in front of everyone.
I don't think snapping
is the correct term.
[dramatic music plays]
You know, it's not the yelling
that was weird
because I feel like I know your temper.
You have temper issues, I think.
And then I overheard you like,
mock me or imitate me to Rishab.
You mock someone
when you're making fun of someone.
-No, you over-exaggerated something.
-[Alfia] That's what it means.
Like, I could hear it in your tone.
You were
acting me out, which is not what happened.
The reason I kept acting you out was
because that is what triggered me.
Like, you kept going on and on.
All I was saying was,
"Srush, understand what I'm saying"
Before I lost it, if you remember.
Either way, I don't want
to defend anything that's happened.
I want to apologize
for what has happened, A.
B, the reason I get so hyper
on certain things
is because I need you to understand
my divorce is not very old.
I'm not ready for unnecessary
link-ups or rumors.
-Fair.
-And also the reason
I had that whole anxiety attack
where I went absolutely nuts,
was because, I genuinely, after years
I felt like I made a female friend.
And when I'm not being understood,
it really affects me.
I am extremely sorry about what happened.
You know me, I feel,
better than anyone in this house.
I care about you the most in this house.
And I say that aloud.
And also, for the last four to five days,
you've seen my state,
between the both of us.
I have been extremely overwhelmed.
I'm going through a rough phase
with my mental health.
Like, I completely understand what
I shouldn't have mentioned, I'm not dumb.
What I do think I mentioned
was nothing to trigger you.
-It did not need that reaction.
-But Srush, you know
the whole back story to that.
I do, but I still think to date
And you know how much I've struggled
with those things,
-better than anybody.
-I do.
But I do think what I said
was nothing to do with you.
But I'm also admitting the fact that
maybe I'm extra paranoid.
Like, this part existed
before you existed,
-to expect a reaction like that.
-I get what you're saying.
So, next time, how do I control it?
Like, I either don't have conversations
or I can't control something
A slip-up like this.
I considered you
someone really close to me.
And when you say something like,
"It's not normal. She's not normal."
Don't you think it's a little rude?
It's not normal, it's not okay to me.
Like, I've not had a fallout with
anybody in this way, in my entire life.
Because it's not happened to me ever,
I do feel like I have some kind of
credibility to be like, it's not me.
-But who's saying it's you?
-And I don't think yelling like this
-is normal.
-No.
It's not normal.
I don't think it's anything to get hurt.
-And if you did, I'm sorry but I really
-Okay, I'm sorry.
-meant it.
-I'm not hurt, Srushti.
I'm not hurt. Forget that.
I'll be honest, it's already
very overwhelming for me.
-I don't want to stretch this either.
-Listen
-I don't know what's happening here.
-Listen to me.
-But you're trying to talk to me,
-Just one second.
and I'm not able to say anything.
But you're not letting me
complete anything I want to say.
And that's what happens and that's why
we end up arguing because I feel like
-When have we argued? When has
-Okay, tell me one thing
When has this ever been
a two-way conversation?
When I say, "Alfia, you're wrong," and
you say, "I'm wrong." Has it ever been?
-Hi, guys.
-Of course.
-When?
-So many times.
[Aryaana] I heard Srushti
and Alfia talk, very loud.
I walked in mid-conversation.
[Aryaana] Srushti was looking defeated.
Even though I knew Alfia was apologizing,
I could tell from Srushti's face,
something was still off.
I just In my head,
I just have this vision of you,
and I not recognizing you at all.
I'm like, who
What happened to Alfia
whom I was friends with?
Everything builds up, right?
When someone
But then you were just looking for
an opportunity to lash out. It was
Why will someone look for an opportunity
to get an anxiety attack
and lash out at someone?
I'm just saying that it was completely
-Okay, I just can't
-Like it
Look because I can't guarantee
that this won't happen again.
-Because I didn't do it on purpose, right?
-That's your call
-See, that's what
-I'd never put you in trouble.
But like, I'm just a little
And I also don't like you
looking down
when I'm actually trying to talk to you.
-I was putting my hair behind, Srushti.
-No, this is the fourth time you did it.
Yesterday also
the reason the fight started was
because I took a deep breath and
you were like, "Why are you huffing?"
[Srushti] I kinda felt like
whenever I was trying to say something,
it was not well received.
And she had learned or mugged up
that she was going to come and say this.
And gonna come and apologize.
And this is how it's gonna go.
You have a very resting bitch face,
where you're like
Even when I'm talking to you,
you're like
Srushti,
you're misunderstanding everything.
I'm not misunderstanding anything.
[Alfia] Okay, anyway,
I don't want to stretch this.
I have apologized. I have
-Fair. I completely take it.
-poured I
I don't think there's anything too wrong.
See this, when I'm talking,
you just go like
Because you don't let me
complete a sentence.
-Oh, my God. What's going on?
-I let you complete many
Did she let me complete
what I was saying right now?
Who has talked more
since the time you've come here?
Guys, what are you guys solving it
or making it worse?
-I'm not allowed to complete one
-Because every time I
I'm trying to say something.
-See?
-What
-You speak first.
-I need to complete.
She's been speaking
since the time she's here.
Okay, Srushti. You finish first.
All I was saying is that I've apologized.
I have said whatever was in my heart.
I'm sorry for whatever's happened.
I have also told her that
she's probably the one person
I'm so attached to.
There are a lot of times
There's a reason why
you're this attached, right?
Of course.
But that You also have to realize,
you say a lot of things that
make someone feel bad.
I don't say a lot of things
that make you feel bad.
I told you this also,
she just says things and
-I think she
-I have a history of doing that.
But I don't think
I've been doing that with you.
Honestly, it's easier for me to be like,
"Oh, this has happened with you, Alfia?
Yeah, they're like this only.
This only has happened."
-She's gonna give you a reality check.
-That's so much easier for me to do.
But my heart hurts. I'm like,
why is she delulu about this?
Like, let me try to give her
another side, and maybe she'll understand.
That doesn't mean I'm not
trying to be supportive. I'm literally
That is how I am as a friend.
-If I'm like
-And that I'm understanding now.
It takes one second for me to be like,
"Yeah, Aryaana, that hairstylist
who fucked your hair,
-was just bad."
-Yeah, she sucks.
But she's gonna tell me, "Maybe
it's your hair that's the problem."
But I'll be like, "No, but you know what,
you didn't wash your hair properly before,
and the hairstylist was, you know,
angry at you because you did this."
Like, so she also is in reality.
And she's not in a bubble.
So, it'll be better for her in real life.
She's always going to give you
devil's advocate.
-That's how she is.
-That's a wider Yeah.
But I also feel
somewhere she felt bad
that no one else really came to her
and spoke to her,
except me and Rishab.
-We don't That's not how we communicate.
-I'm just Yeah, but
Yeah, but did you not
She was also crying.
Like, you have to consider
other people's feelings.
-So was she.
-Yeah.
-But I'm just saying
-For me
I could clearly see what happened.
I didn't think she deserved that.
You never know what
someone else is going through.
Alaviaa, everyone goes through
their own thing.
That doesn't mean you lash out at anybody.
But everyone deals with
things differently, right?
Of course. But this is not
the right way to deal with it.
-That's not the point.
-[Srushti] Listen.
If somebody could go and like, take
a memory out of my brain, that'd be great.
Because I feel like you're freaking
awesome. I don't know what happened.
Like, I'm shocked. I'm still shocked.
I'm a little scared.
I know, I'm sorry.
Because like everybody
is in kinda couples,
I only hung out with her.
We've literally had sleepovers every day.
We've talked all night
and we've watched rubbish Hindi movies.
Where did this come from? Like, why?
What?
Alfs, like, Alanna's also going
to talk to you one-on-one.
The fact that like, we were planning
to shoot content in the morning, right?
-When?
-That morning.
Aryaana, but don't you think you're being
a little harsh with the way you're saying
-things right now?
-I just think,
-this is not right.
-Like, I'll tell you something.
I just think like,
there's no defending what happened.
I'm not here defending myself.
-Yeah, you are.
-I'm here
I have apologized. What am I defending?
-You don't think you were right?
-What
Did I say to you I was right? Even once?
-No, she knows she's wrong.
-Okay.
What are you saying without knowing
anything? That's unfair.
-That's all I'm saying.
-[Aryaana] I
What is this attitude?
Like, do you have no sensitivity?
And surprisingly,
like, I have really gained so much respect
for Alaviaa during this whole thing.
[Alfia] Like, what I feel about her
has changed overnight.
Just because Srushti
isn't as vocal as she is
about her trauma and her experiences,
doesn't make her problems any less.
If someone is telling you,
"Don't speak to me that way.
Don't yell at me that way."
And you have the vocality to say
"I'll speak to you
however I wanna speak to you,"
that doesn't sound like you care
what someone else is going through.
It sounds like you only care about
what you're going through.
You are being a little defensive.
But it's totally fine.
I'm not going to be like
this is freaking aThis is a court.
You're gonna get a punishment.
-It's not like that.
-No, I'm
No, I'm not defending my action.
I'm just saying that to take calls
and such harsh calls
-It's not a harsh call.
-No, I'm just hear me out.
To just go black and white with it
without understanding
the gray in the middle, is unfair.
But I get where everyone's coming from
and I'm willing to apologize to whoever.
You know you're a little bit
more sensitive than normal, right?
-Little bit
-I'm hypersensitive.
But what did
why were you crying so much?
Srushti, those are her emotions.
-I had an anxiety attack.
-What made you so upset?
Like, I heard everyone say that
she's overreacting and overacting.
But I literally broke into
an anxiety attack and
I was literally, till today,
I've not gotten out of that whole jitter.
Are you understanding? Even now,
while sitting, I'm not feeling up to it.
And I don't expect everyone
to understand that.
But I'm saying that's where
I came from and I'm very sorry.
Like, I mean it.
I am sorry for what happened.
I still have no clarity
about exactly what happened.
I was apologizing because I felt like
I'm not her mother
to shout at her like this.
I wish she understood me, that's it.
[Srushti] And when somebody apologizes,
what do you say, like,
I can't be like, "No, but you did this."
And like,
I can't do that.
She has apologized for what she did.
But I still didn't get a closure
or clarity on why that happened.
I'm only sorry for yelling at her.
But am I sorry for being vulnerable
and breaking down?
No, I'm not.
[dramatic music fades]
[wind howling]
[upbeat music plays]
Babe, I cannot believe you have
dragged me out to LA in this heat.
I had to. Literally, I feel like
I don't have friends here
because the girls
don't step out of the house.
But then what's, like, the whole point
of you guys being here together?
-We, like, shoot content. We went camping.
-Yeah.
But I still feel like,
you know, they don't do much.
Even like
going out and meeting people.
Or like going to Erewhon for a smoothie?
-Yeah, literally.
-Yeah. Cheers.
So, Rahi came to visit me in LA,
and I honestly I don't know why
he's taking me hiking.
[Alaviaa] I hate any activity that
needs me to have endurance, basically.
I do not wanna hike.
I don't wanna go for a run.
Would you say the girls are your friends?
Yeah, I think they're my friends.
-But like
-But they sound more like acquaintances.
I met Srushti first and I was like
Srushti's energy was cool,
she seemed quirky,
and we both bonded
over the fact that like,
the Hailey Beiber smoothie
has so much sugar.
You know, like, she seemed like a vibe.
But then, Alfia
I don't know, babe. Like, her energy
just seemed a little bit off.
Like, I felt like she was judging me.
I mean, she did judge me
before I came here.
-She said something like,
-[clears throat]
I think I'm entitled
because I wanted the bigger room.
You did get one of the smallest rooms
in the house.
The room that you've been given
is like a box room.
Like, how are you managing
with all your stuff?
I'm not. You saw my shoes are
like, all over the room.
It's a shoe box.
I don't think it's a shoe box.
But I really want
to see his house in London.
He thinks this is a shoe box.
Oh, my God, did you know
there were snakes here?
I mean, the real snakes are at home.
[Rahi chuckles]
I don't think they're snakes.
-Oh, stop it.
-And I'm not scared of snakes.
I can imagine, especially,
after spending three weeks with them.
I think it was a fun comment.
That's all I'm gonna say.
-Oh, my God. Also, I had to tell you
-Was it just not Yeah.
-Basically, we went camping.
-Yeah.
And like, everything was chill.
Whatever, it was like
a calm, nice morning.
And Alfia got really triggered by like,
a thing that Srushti said.
-What did Srushti say?
-Srushti mentioned someone's name,
that she didn't want to be mentioned.
-But, this was an ex-boyfriend?
-No, just like a close friend.
But why is she so sensitive about like
Because I think
they're just like really close friends.
And I think she feels like
it's her responsibility,
-that like his name is not mentioned.
-To protect the friendship?
-Yeah.
-Yeah.
Did she make that clear though, to them?
Yeah, she told Srushti like, five times,
the day before, "Oh, don't say it."
Do you think she was doing it
on purpose,
-to like, get at Alfia?
-No, no
-I think she's just stupid sometimes.
-Okay. Yeah.
And things just
come out of her mouth.
And so, she just screamed at her
in front of everyone.
-Alfia did?
-And like Yes.
And then she just went to the side
and started crying.
-Yeah.
-After screaming at her?
-Yes.
-She must've felt bad.
-For like, lashing out.
-No, she was feeling like
She was like, "I wanna go home."
-Oh, she felt attacked.
-Yeah, that's what she felt.
You think she plays
the victim card a lot though?
-Sometimes, but like
-Right.
Not I mean, here, I just felt like,
maybe she was really overwhelmed.
I guess she feels left out and
I don't That, like, I don't agree with
because I feel like, we've all
tried to like
-Like, made an effort to include her?
-Yes.
And I feel like,
I'm as much of an outsider as she is.
-[Rahi] Yeah.
-Not like, as much, but
You know what I mean, like,
I don't live here
-with the other girls, so it's
-[Rahi] Yeah.
I had this conversation
with my therapist actually.
And sometimes, there's so much trauma
that we've experienced
-when we were younger,
-Yeah.
-but we never actually deal with it.
-No, oh, my God. I
That's what I was trying to tell the other
girls that everyone has different traumas.
-So like, everyone reacts.
-Exactly! Yeah.
I always think that when
someone says something about you,
it says more about them.
She is a little bit of a judgy person.
But maybe that comes from
probably her trauma
or whatever she's been through.
[upbeat music plays]
Hey! ♪
So much has been happening,
I kinda have FOMO.
This morning
You're going to tell her what happened?
She was basically just like,
I'm sorry that happened.
She just apologized.
I think the OGs needed
a meeting outside the house
so there was no one listening by the door.
So, we had a little brunch.
She's like, "I behaved like this because
I got an anxiety attack.
I snapped at you."
And I literally told her
that's not snapping, that was
A very extreme reaction.
I told her that this cannot
happen on a content trip.
It's a work trip.
Then she was like, "But don't you think
you're being a little harsh?"
-Was I harsh?
-Not at all.
It's like a thirty-thousand-dollar trip.
I really wanna send her an invoice.
How is it fair that
you say that you're so over-sensitive,
but in your defense, you can say anything
and if somebody says anything,
you think that that's harsh?
It's just baffling to me right now.
Another thing that happened is,
at the campsite.
Apparently, she told Alaviaa,
"I'm not feeling welcomed here.
Everyone's cornering me
and I feel out of place."
-Yeah, she told me that too.
-And then today
-This morning she said
-She said
-"I never said that."
-"I never said that."
She's a little unreliable at this point.
I'll tell you why
it's also feeling like a lot,
it's because before she came,
there was peace.
The whole thing is based on
each other's feedback.
She can't take feedback either.
So, Srushti said something about us
giving a makeover on her wardrobe,
and she just can't take criticism.
She got so upset,
she started getting snappy at Srushti.
We're trying to help you.
-We are literally trying to help you.
-She said something to Alaviaa
saying that somebody
called her taste tacky.
-Or something tacky.
-Who said that?
-No one has said that.
-[Srushti speaks indistinctly]
She has said,
"You know, my taste is Chandni Bar."
All these things I was finding so cool,
because I'm like, such a funny person.
-Again, she played the victim.
-And I have given her like
We're attacking her for her style.
Like, no, we're trying to help you,
if you want this to work.
And I don't want everyone
to be walking around eggshells,
because we're working together.
We need to criticize things.
I posted a reel after the Breakfast party.
And I tagged her,
and I didn't put her clip in.
She was upset.
Like, I've barely known you for a week.
She got upset that
Srushti posted a TikTok with me.
I've taken three photo shoots of hers
and I've shot a reel
at the campsite for her.
-Like, talk to her like a baby or like
-[Aryaana] Yeah.
Like, oh, my God, don't feel bad
but this is what we think.
Think about her constantly
like that's
also like baggage that we did not need.
But I also feel the same thing
with Alaviaa.
-Yeah.
-I'm also very scared to say anything
-in front of her.
-[Alanna] Yeah.
[Srushti] I told her this yesterday.
I said, like,
"You're an unreliable person sometimes
because you do go around
telling people shit."
She hides behind,
"I'm a very open person."
But the stuff you're talking about
is other people's lives.
With my story, she witnessed it.
I didn't want her to be in the room.
Just because
she happened to be in the room,
everyone in Mumbai knows what happened
and it was really personal.
She has said some things about me
and Alanna, things that
could be very damaging
to our reputation back home.
And it's nothing about being open.
You're spreading shit
about people's personal lives.
-Yeah, I agree.
-You can't hide behind like
"Oh, but I'd say it.
I'd have said it to you."
"I'm just a really open person
and there's no lies."
-Like, no.
-Yeah.
I feel like I have to be careful
with anything I say around her
because she could twist that
and say something to someone else.
What makes you think that this is gossip?
-It's not fucking gossip.
-It's not gossip.
Something really bad happened
two years ago and she witnessed it.
And I heard the next month
that everyone in Mumbai heard about it.
And it was something so personal, so
It's a conversation to be had.
On a good note, I have some good news.
[cheerful music plays]
I mentioned that I was talking
to a brand about a potential hoarding.
And 25 to 50 emails later,
I think it's confirmed.
-Okay, can you tell us now?
-It's Lakmé.
[Aryaana gasps]
And we are going to have a billboard
potentially, I'm not sure where,
but we're trying for Hollywood.
Yes.
-I know.
-Oh, my God!
I know, right?
-Are you crying?
-I actually have tears in my eyes.
-For real?
-Yes.
-Are we all gonna be
-Oh, my God
This is what we came here for.
Oh, my God, Alanna!
My make-up's ruined. How dare you all!
-[Srushti] It's okay.
-[Aryaana chuckles]
I was not able to speak really, very much.
Do I even have to give a reason
why was I moved?
It would move anybody.
And actually, think about
how we came here together and
-now we're going to go on a billboard.
-Should we just take this in?
Yes.
-I can't believe it.
-Mm
-Actually?
-Actually, like
-Literally, it all came together.
-I know, right?
-It's great.
-From nowhere.
[Aryaana] Just coming here with our bag
and baggage, not knowing
what is gonna happen
with our lives,
to have her tell us
this is what's going to happen
after four years of us
working hard for it.
That moment was I don't have words.
I always had this vision
of all of us being on this billboard
in the middle of Hollywood.
Just like, a group of brown girls
doing our thing.
Like, we're in LA on a billboard,
how cool would that be?
It's brown girl power!
-I am just so glad.
-Yeah.
-Thanks. High-five.
-It's amazing.
Who all are going to be on the billboard?
Yeah
It's supposed to be the five of us
and I'm going to be really honest,
the brand has straight-up asked me,
why should we put Alfia?
What value is she adding?
Because we're
one of the biggest Indian brands.
Why should we use someone
who has no social presence?
I never thought she was going to be in it
in the first place.
That's why, at the camping thing, when
you said, billboard, I said, "Even you?"
-Because
-Oh, yeah, she got offended.
Because we all have started from scratch.
Like, I've literally seen you
do a first brand for 300 dollars,
when she literally had
like, 600-700k followers still
So to that, your first-ever
brand deal cannot be a billboard.
[Srushti] It's obvious.
Like, if I was a brand,
if I really had to do this billboard,
and hire four faces,
I'd obviously kinda see
who's benefiting me and how.
And it's not like, surprising,
it was obvious.
I've been fighting for her
because I'll fight for the girls.
-I'm just like
-Yeah.
"It's fine. I know that
she doesn't have that,
but she will. That's what
we're working on." I've fought for her.
What has she done
in the social space, right?
-Because we're backing her up together.
-[Alanna] Hmm!
And this is one of the biggest
Indian make-up brands, come on.
-Quite literally.
-[Alanna] Literally.
She had 6000 and
she actually dropped down to 3000.
So, I mean, it's not a good thing
to be losing followers.
I just don't think she's cut out for this.
-Because social media is not easy.
-Oh, it's definitely not easy.
The funny part is she hasn't even seen it.
-Wait till she has 100,000 followers,
-[intense music plays]
-and people are shitting on you every day.
-Every day!
-It's not gonna work. I already know it.
-[intense music plays]
We can't like,
keep shoving opportunities her way
and helping her out
and do so much nice stuff.
And then she says
she's not feeling welcome.
-Yes. If I'd have come here in week one,
-She also needs to [speaks indistinctly]
knowing that there's
a billboard coming in the next week,
I'd be literally like
-On your feet.
-When we first came in here, we were
-At everybody's feet.
-How are you?
Alfia coming here when we're at our peak,
we've just got this content house,
we never had
anything like this before, ever.
I don't know if
she's entirely doing enough
for the opportunities
that are being thrown at her.
I think that
you should just kinda, honestly,
like, be open and tell her
that I'm fighting so much in the back end
for you to not feel welcomed in the end.
If you like understand,
people have bad days.
She's gonna have to
prove to the group that
it's just not gonna happen again
and if it does
I hate to be, like,
the person that says this,
I mean, she has to go back.
[intense music ends]
[dramatic music plays]
I'm not here to become BFFs with everyone.
You need to be a fucking rock.
Have you done your best?
Then the answer is, no.
There is no clear plan.
No one is trusting you right now.
Like, whatever.
What the hell have you guys done?
Do you have glycerin in your bag?
we should include you or not.
What do you all want to hear from me?
If you wanna go home, you go home.
[dramatic music fades]
