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!
We are reporting live
from Mukul Sawla's Bungalow.
Mukul Sawla is currently embroiled
in a scandalous controversy.
There are many allegations
that have been levied against him.
Mukul sir, Mukul sir!
Sir, sir, sir!
Did you blackmail Madhulika Sahay
and ask for sexual favors, sir?
Are the allegations
against you true?
Sir!
When will Mukul Sawla speak up?
Stay tuned to know more.
I won.
Well done.
-What did you order?
-Pizza. Cheese burst!
Hi.
-Cheers!
-Okay, cheers!
-So
-So
-We are
-We are
-Proud of ya!
-Cheers, guys!
-Cheers!
-Cheers and tables.
-Cheers.
-Unreal.
-Unreal.
-Really? Show me!
You were awesome today.
You mean flawsome!
Flawsome?
My flaws make me awesome.
Okay, well I hope
God grants all of us these flaws.
Also, I'm sorry.
I was too hard on you.
It really was a great story.
And I am super proud of you
that you broke it the right way.
Thanks.
I have to say, I am
learning from the best.
Oh, how sweet.
I meant Faye.
Ouch.
Okay.
Well, I guess cheers to Bae and Faye.
And Amanpour!
-Cheers.
-Cheers!
There is never
enough oregano ever.
Bae, your phone.
My notifications are on fire.
At least, check it.
It could be something important.
Guys, listen to this.
A message from some Shruti.
I had seen her name on
Mukul Sawla's computer.
"In my city Chandigarh,
Mukul Sawla had come to inaugurate
a girl's engineering college.
I was the student who went
to receive him with a bouquet."
She's a minor.
I remember there was another girl.
Sabrina.
I hope she reaches out as well.
Wait, there's one more.
See this.
She used to work in Sawla's firm.
She had to quit because of him.
I guess evidence lays itself
out for a good journalist.
But how do I prove that these
are not mere accusations?
Breaking news coming in.
Mukul Sawla, the country's
prominent businessman
is being accused of #Metoo.
More and more stories pouring
in from social media.
-A young girl saying she was seventeen
-What an asshole!
-when she encountered Sawla years ago,
-How do men like these
-at a school function
-live with themselves?
-where he harassed her. India is
-This is just one side of the story!
Good afternoon, viewers.
We can't accuse people
based on social media.
Mr. Sawla is a respected
citizen of the country.
He has worked tirelessly
towards women's safety.
And hence, this case is not
just about women's rights.
It is also about men's rights.
Are you serious?
Why not?
What about men's rights?
Are men not human enough?
You can't just generalize.
You can't announce a whole gender guilty.
That's not fair.
Oh, God!
Mukul sir's here!
-Mukul sir!
-Mukul sir!
-Sir, sir!
-Ma'am!
Satyamev Jayate.
Truth alone triumphs.
This is all I have to say
in my defense today.
I leave it to Mitali
to do the talking.
-Ma'am, ma'am!
-Mitali ma'am!
These allegations are
absolutely frivolous and baseless.
Mukul and I are childhood sweethearts.
A husband like Mukul.
A father like him.
-There is nobody like
-Ma'am,
have you ever met
any of these women?
What is your take on
these allegations on Mukul?
How are you so sure that
these allegations are fake?
Because I know my Mukul.
It may take time.
But I'm 100 percent convinced
that he will be proven innocent.
And we as a family will
come out of this stronger.
Ma'am, ma'am.
Mukul sir, Mukul sir!
Ma'am! Ma'am!
Please give us some space.
Thank you.
Mukul sir, Mukul sir.
Ma'am, ma'am.
You have to answer!
Hi. Mitali cried on national television
that was brilliant.
Fuck that.
If I go down,
you go down.
I want to go to your office.
What?
I want to go to your office.
You want a job?
I'm sorry Prince, but I don't think
my office can afford
a celebrity trainer like you.
I don't want a job.
I just want to find out about these emails
SS is getting from the Centaurus
email address.
I haven't been able to sleep thinking
about this all night.
I wish I could
smuggle you into the office
but visitors have access
only to the ground floor.
And today's Friday the 13th.
You would definitely get caught.
There must be some way.
Could I be of any help?
Please.
You let it be.
You're highly unreliable.
I have a plan.
But both of you
need to execute it.
Okay, what do we have to do?
I've been working on a program.
Bunk this 13 bullshit.
I'll work everything out.
Trust me.
Sorry.
Why are you doing this, Harleen?
Doing what?
Why are you siding
with SS and Mukul?
I only side with TRP.
So you think all
the girls are lying?
Wake up and smell the coffee!
Behen-code is a real thing.
What are you hiding on SS's computer?
I don't have time
for your nonsense.
You are not like SS.
You are better than him.
I know that SS and Mukul
are hiding something.
I don't know what it
is but I know they are.
Please don't help them.
Unlocked!
Plug in the USB device.
Load Program.
Now go to the launchpad and type
Terminal
and type dot slash
Slash.
-Remotecopy
-Remote
dot SH.
Got it.
Now press enter.
Something's happening!
Wait, I'm sending a picture.
And we are in!
You're associating
with the wrong people!
You understand the
spirit of journalism.
Now you and your stilettos are going
to teach me journalism?
Well, stilettos teach you how
to keep your spine
Oh, my God!
Nobody walks away from
me mid-conversation, okay?
Are you okay?
I'm fine!
Walk away if you feel like it.
It's a free country.
Bye!
Go, go, I'm sorry!
Make space, we have
to get Mukul on the show!
On the contrary,
Bae is our journalist.
We should make
this our lead story.
So that we seem biased!
So that for once
we seem fair, SS.
Oh, God.
And get drowned out as
yet another #Metoo channel.
Oops!
I'm sorry!
#Metoo joke!
Sorry, wokes!
Not funny.
At all.
-Oh, God. Live a little.
-SS!
I don't want TRP to be a channel that
is on the wrong side of history. Okay?
-Tanmoy!
-May I?
It's Confessional's 100th episode.
Why don't we invite two
guests instead of just one?
Mukul and
Bae?
Like a face-off between them?
It's brilliant!
Bae will convey the other
side of the story herself.
It's perfect!
This contains data about every guest
who has appeared on "The Confessional."
What they do, who they meet,
who they sleep with.
Everything!
This is how SS
finds his "News First".
There is a folder
named after you too.
He was stalking you too.
What a bastard!
That day, there were emails
on Mukul Sawla's laptop
from Centaurus, right?
One thing is clear for sure.
He's gotten information about Madhulika
and the other girls from here.
The big question is
who really is Centaurus?
And why is it supplying
data to Mukul and SS?
Harleen.
Hi.
Can I get back to you?
Yeah Okay.
Guys they've invited me
on The Confessional.
With Mukul Sawla.
So are you going to go?
What else can I do for you?
My love, you're upset
Tell me how can I make this better?
I'll move the world
I'm running out this time
Will I ever find you?
I'm sitting at your door
-Till you let me in you are not alone
-Bound by the Behen-code.
From now on your problems
are my problems.
This is our
Behen-code.
It's older than the Da Vinci code.
Stronger than the Bro-code.
When sisters come together,
men like Mukul Sawla become history.
#Behen-code.
I go through everything you throw at me
I listen to everything you say
You've shown me love and light before
But now it's like
You have pushed me away into the darkness
You are just a faint memory now
I want to fly again
You are just a faint memory now
I want to fly again
-Hello.
-Oh, without your inner angels
Harleen, I'm on.
Pushing you through life
A person feels lifeless
What do you think about this?
It's formal with a bling.
It's got a little
No.
This is full of glitz and glam!
Doesn't feel right.
But why?
It's your television debut!
It has to pack a punch.
It has to be impactful, right?
Feeling anything?
Works?
My good old stilettos
and this for good luck!
Check!
-Something's missing.
-What?
What do you need?
A little bit of Saira.
Who would have thought
there would come a day when Bae would
have to lease something from me!
Everything in life is on lease.
Nothing is permanent.
You've come a long way.
I've just put my
pieces back differently.
I wonder why I can't do that.
Why can't I change my patterns?
Acknowledging you have
a problem is the first step.
DL taught me that.
DL?
Wait, let me guess.
Dalai Lama?
Not bad!
See.
You know me so well.
Do I know myself?
You know,
when I was ten years old
I bunked school for the first time
and played flush
with the watchman.
And for the first time ever
my super busy parents came
to school to meet the principal!
A lot of these addictions arise
from a need for attention.
Believe me.
I should know.
DL taught you this?
My shoplifting and your gambling
I don't know if we'll
ever be able to beat it.
But we can try together?
We can do it.
Listen, I know Satyajit.
He's going to have a lot
of ammunition against you.
Be careful.
I have ammunition too.
And also I look better on camera.
I wish I had your confidence.
-Stop it!
-Sorry to break the moment
-but focus on the road, bro.
-Stop it.
Sorry.
I'll just park and come.
You guys go ahead.
Hey, Bae!
Hey, Bae!
Hey, Bae!
Hey, Bae!
Bae, shall we?
We have to get you ready.
Tammarrah.
-This is for you.
-Thanks.
Bae on location.
Okay. Just show him his place.
And this entire month,
no more house duties for you, I promise.
And I promise no more betting
for an entire month.
You'll survive a month without betting?
You bet I can.
Remember when I told you that you can't
do 100 jumping squats in one go?
What did you do then?
100 jumping squats in one go?
Exactly.
Just be yourself.
And remember.
Underwater keep breathing.
Guys, I have never received
so much support all my life.
Okay, okay, fine!
We go live in ten minutes.
Let's go.
-Kill it.
-Thank you.
Shall we?
Thank you.
Wow. Wearing pants today?
In my honor?
You've got them
on too, smarty pants!
Can't see our friendly
neighborhood predator?
This is going to be explosive.
Live in five

Hello,
and welcome to a very special episode
of The Confessional with Satyajit Sen.
Where truth always triumphs.
So that you're made aware of the deceit.
Viewers, friends, and patriots.
Today is our 100th episode.
We thought let's change
the format of the show a little.
So tonight, we won't be having
just one guest.
you will be hearing
confessions from two guests!
Who have both managed
to capture your imagination.
Our first guest, Mr. Mukul Sawla.
Welcome to the show, sir.
Round of applause.
CEO of Thought Telecom.
Soon to be a politician.
Self-proclaimed feminist.
And celebrated philanthropist.
-Good to see you, sir.
-Good to see you, too.
And on the other side,
we have someone
who's made scandalous
allegations against this man.
Our very own Bella Chowdhary.
Welcome to the show!
Actually, hold applause, please.
Before we start,
just wanted to confirm once.
You're still Chowdhary
or is it back to Rajwansh?
You can call me Bae.
Miss "Call me Bae".
Welcome to the show.
First question, viewers.
Because ladies first.
Are you a has-been socialite
pretending to be a journalist?
Better to be a has-been
than a never-will-be, I guess.
Funny.
Second question.
Is it true that your mother comes
from an ordinary middle-class home?
Middle-class, yes.
Ordinary, no.
Some people claim that your mother trapped
your father, who was already a married man
and then she trained you
to trap the most eligible bachelor,
the scion of the Chowdhary family,
Agastya Chowdhary.
This is not what a trap is. This is love.
Love
Love Thy Shakespearean love!
Yuck!
So tell me miss call me bae.
You are not a gold digger?
I actually prefer diamonds.
Ma'am, you're on the news.
Answer straight up, please.
If I were a gold digger,
wouldn't I still be rich?
Also, SS, you have called
two guests on the show.
Ask both of us questions, please.
And in case you are too afraid
to ask Mukul Sawla any questions
then I will.
Mr. Mukul Sawla.
Is it true that other than Madhulika Sahay
you also blackmailed other
women to sleep with you?
Since you have access
to their private data.
-I
-No, no!
Ma'am this is my show.
A show that I have built.
Only I hold the right
to ask questions here.
Satyajit.
I deny all these ridiculous
allegations against me.
I will sue you for defamation
and take you to court.
Let's talk a bit about
your credentials
Miss Bae?
Not looking very good.
Pull the graphic up, please.
Cue the video.
Yeah.
What the fuck?
Is that a shoe?
Slow hands. Wrong dress. That's rare.
Exactly why nobody's going
to the theaters anymore.
All the juicy content is online now!
Is that you, ma'am?
Yes.
And before this, you have been
caught shoplifting in New York?
Yes.
And you were almost arrested!
In fact, viewers,
Miss Bella Chowdhary Rajw
Who knows?
Had to serve time
with community service too.
Now you're silent.
Miss "Call me Bae"!
When we should be calling you a fraud!
A fake. A cheater.
A shoplifter. And a liar!
Miss Bae, do you work out?
Is it not true that you had an
affair with your gym trainer?
In fact, viewers,
her own family doesn't talk to her.
And in India, family is everything.
If they can't rely on you,
then how can you expect us to?
And then you attack a renowned citizen
and respected family man
like Mukul Sawla
and want to assassinate his character.
There is a limit to hypocrisy, ma'am.
Mukul. You've been so strong.
Do you want to say something?
All I can say is I know my truth.
This vendetta against me
for which I know she is
handsomely compensated for
will come to an abrupt end very quickly.
Yes.
This is all true.
I have made many mistakes in my life.
And I am paying the price for it.
My own family has disowned me.
Go closer.
I want to capture each and every tear.
But this is not about my story.
This is Madhulika's story.
This is Sabrina's story.
This is Shruti's story.
This is the story of every girl that
Mukul Sawla has sexually harassed.
You have no proof.
The dates that Madhulika mentioned
on her Live Stream.
When I apparently sexually harassed her
I was not even present in London.
I was with my family in the Andamans.
Learning to scuba dive!
You were not scuba diving!
There is absolutely no place
for violence
Verbal violence
is also violence!
Look at this, viewers.
Uncivilized behavior.
She threw the mic away
because she could not prove the truth.
Mr. Mukul Sawla,
why could you not catch the mic?
The other day you couldn't hold
your daughter from your left side either?
So?
So the reason is
you have a frozen shoulder.
You've had this injury
for about 2.5 years?
The team of doctors treating you
came on record and told me the same.
What does this have
to do with anything?
You cannot scuba dive
with a frozen shoulder.
I should know because I am a PADI
certified Master Scuba Diver!
And if you guys still haven't
gotten the gist of it.
Let me explain to you simply.
As the CEO of Thought Telecom,
Mukul Sawla has illegitimately benefited.
In complete violation
of International law.
He used the data of his victims
to blackmail them and harass them.
Shocking revelations coming in
on The Confessional tonight
against Mr. Mukul Sawla
who will have to answer.
See Mukul, I don't know you at all.
But if this really is the truth, then
One second.
If this really is the truth?
Yes.
Pretending like you don't know
what Mukul Sawla is doing?
Ladies and gentlemen!
When Satyajit Sen found out that
Mukul Sawla was indulging
in these illegal activities
then, instead of breaking the news,
instead of delivering the truth
to his audience
Satyajit Sen actually cracked
a deal with Mukul Sawla.
Mukul Sawla supplied data of
handpicked individuals to Satyajit Sen.
Satyajit would then go on to call these
people as guests on The Confessional.
And would use that data against them.
And this data is directly supplied
straight from Thought Telecom.
Through an ID called Centaurus.
Whatever happened with Madhulika,
whatever happened
with all the other women
This man is equally responsible for that.
Oh, my God!
Shocking!
What are you rambling about on this show?
How did you find out about
Yugandher's drugs?
Because you tracked
his Georgia E-Visa!
How did you know
Naina Khanna was pregnant?
It's because you had the data
from her period tracking app.
He's such a sellout!
In fact, since the day I installed a
Thought Telecom sim card,
this man has been
tracking my every move.
Oh, my God!
Harleen, cut.
Harleen, cut!
Ma'am, cut to a commercial break?
I am the producer of this show.
And I am saying no!
But, ma'am?
Behen-code.
Behen-code?
Harleen, cut it.
Satyajit, what the hell is going on here?
Nothing. We will take
-a short commercial break, viewers.
-Oh!
After this, your life will be
a short commercial break.
Viewers!
-What the hell!
-Shocking!
Unbelievable!
This is Satyajit Sen's computer screen.
There is a small folder in
this called The Confessional.
This contains the personal data
of every guest on the show.
This
This is
an invasion of my privacy!
You!
That is the funniest thing
I've heard in a long time.
Remind me.
Weren't you the one who said,
"Privacy" is so last century?
You have no right.
Thought Telecom's
latest SIM Izumi.
"Free for women!"
It was just a new hack for data mining.
Mukul Sawla used the SIM card
to manipulate the data of all these women.
So that when he runs for elections,
he can use it all to his advantage.
And that ladies and gentlemen,
is the truth!
Nobody wants the truth!
The news is not the truth!
Aw!
Why are you behaving like
a guest on your own show?
Fuck off.
All of you.
Abusing?
On National television!
Ohhhhhh!!!
How the mighty have fallen.
You are way more
shameless than I thought.
You still won't budge.
Oh, I got my bad girls with me
And we never move too slow
This is my time and
There's no room for two
Stay on Bae.
Let's go!
How dare you keep rolling?
This is my show!
No, it isn't.
This is my show.
A dream fulfilled
I owe this moment to you
Etched deep within my heart
A dream fulfilled
I owe this moment to you
-Etched deep within my heart.
-Wait for me!
Come!
No, no, don't want to break
your Behen-code moment.
You guys are also
honorary girl gang members!
-Just come!
-Get in here.
-Okay!
-I mean, yeah, yeah, come.
Go for it.
I'll just look away.
Go for it.
No, I couldn't, I was sitting here only.
Saira!
May I also get the honorary membership?
Honorary?
You're the General Secretary!
The Confessional
was a brilliant idea.
Congrats, Bae, well done!
That's Harleen.
Harleen, that's Saira!
And do I get a hug?
Mom!
You saw?
I saw everything.
And I'm so proud of you.
Does that mean you'll add me back
to the family group?
I could.
But they don't deserve you.
Her pain is her couture
It's her Gucci and her Dior
Who's that girl
Let me hear you say
Who's that girl?
You can call her Bae!
I'm your girl, you know!
Come what may!
Day or night
Yeah, you got me, girl!
-Unbelievable.
-Oh, my God.
Hi, girls. Is that botched-up botox or are
you just shocked to see her succeed?
The list is long
-But we gonna get through it!
-Okay!
Tag along with me
There's nothing we can't do
I'm your girl, you know!
Come what may!
Day or night
Yeah, you got me, girl!
I'm your girl, you know!
-Smell of the fish.
-Come what may!
I know her quite well.
She's reached
Mumbai because of me.
Yeah, you got me, girl!
Okay!
Yeah, you got me, girl!
Mom, really?
Samar.
I'm glad you're here.
I'm getting you a ticket to LA.
You need to lie low for a while.
But why?
Aggy doesn't want you around.
What rubbish.
I need to speak to Dad.
You can't speak to him.
He's gotten a panic attack
because of you today.
You will trigger another one.
Mom, are you serious?
It's only for a few days, Samar.
You have a flight
tomorrow at 03.30 a.m.
You better be on it.
But, Mom, this is not fair.
You're being unfair to me.
I didn't even do anything.
I was being unfair up till now.
But finally and for the first time,
I will do what is right.
Cheers.
Stephens, get the car.
Stephens?
Sorry, sir.
I work for TRP.
The Real People.
Abhay.
Since the last four weeks,
the ratings for In Depth with Neel
are constantly rising.
Would you like to move on
to the prime time slot, Neel?
Instead of The Confessional?
Our brand needs credibility.
And only you can bring us that.
Thanks, Tanmoy.
I actually think I might deserve this.
Very good!
Congratulations!
-Good job.
-Thank you.
You truly deserve this.
There is a color to my life
Since you are around
The closeness between us is increasing
Your increasing proximity is intoxicating
And driving me crazy
There is a color to my life
Since you are around
The closeness between us is increasing
Your increasing proximity is intoxicating
And driving me crazy
Don't forget me
Don't want any distance between us
I have got you
Guys!
Tamu and I are thinking
of going to Goa for a month.
We're not thinking,
we're actually going!
I stand corrected.
Tammarrah and a
one-month holiday?
-Impossible, impossible, impossible!
-Have you ever taken a holiday?
Workcations only.
But haven't ever done such a
successful operation on a 13th either
-So YOLO!
-YOLO!
You know, Tamu was planning
every minute detail of the trip.
But I said it's our first trip,
we'll go with the flow.
I'm going with the flow.
I also wanted to talk
to you about something.
I've been thinking
about it for a while.
I hope you accept it.
Holy ducking cow!
Neel is kneeling.
Oh, my God!
He's proposing?
Bae.
-Will you be my
-Your?
My Special
Special?
Correspondent!
What?
Oh, man! My God.
Come on!
I will be your
special many things.
But correspondent
is the perfect start.
Let's do a show.
Let's name it "Call Me Bae."
I'll produce it.
You can anchor it.
And it'll be your unique
take on the news of the week.
Let's do investigative stories.
I know our first story.
Where is this Centaurus?
And if it's a data mining center then
where do the operations take place?
Okay, done!
That means the chopper
story was actually true!
Captain Shastry.
Aggy!?
