Masaba Masaba (2020) s02e02 Episode Script

1
It's time for a change.
It's time to think bigger.
It's time to be brave.
It's time to go for it.
Who says only boys can be kings?
It's time a girl became the king.
What makes someone a king?
We need a plan.
It's simple, madam.
Fame is all about T, T, T.
TikTok, TV show, Twitter.
Who brought Swara into politics? Me!
You just get hold of some actor.
I'll get the paps to make up rumors
that you guys are dating.
See, Masaba. Whatever we see right now,
we need to next level it. Masaba 2,0.
We need to really Beyoncé the situation.
You need to see yourself through my eyes.
There's a boss-ass-bitch behind
this sweet, wholesome, relatable persona.
My job is to activate that
and I'll do that with my PR wand.
But will you be able to handle it?
Yeah. I think I can.
Let me get back
to you in a couple of days.
Great.
This? Four months.
Whatever is happening here
is 100% CEO material.
Never gives me a day off!
Hey, you know what?
I don't need a couple of days.
You're hired.
On my way, set this trail ablaze
Came back like a kid never left the race
Take my place on the throne
That's center stage
If I've to become a household name.
I've to do more than clothes.
Why should Kimmy K. make all the money?
Are we any less talented?
I'm your king
I'm your king, you better kiss the ring
Putting money in the bank
While I do my thing
I'm your king, you better kiss the ring
Putting money in the bank
While I do my thing, I'm your king
I'm not happy with our profits.
We need to push our growth curve.
If we want to make the big bucks,
we have to expand.
Brand is stable, so why take the risk?
Let's start with a small amount first.
You have to agree, Masaba's
investment pitch is pretty impressive.
So I wanted
to get off the birth control pills.
-You're planning to have a baby?
-No. The opposite.
I'm stopping dating altogether.
I don't need these extra hormones.
Masaba, you're in your thirties.
So if you really want to have kids,
I suggest you do it soon.
I'll think about it when I've time,
but right now I've to focus on work.
Guys! Gather around.
I've something super exciting to show you.
Come. Sit.
Think of every designer in the big league.
How did they get there?
-Weddings, guys, weddings!
-Yes. Yeah!
-Yeah.
-So, I present to you
"House of Shaadi."
Amazing.
Okay, we need new designs,
new clientele, new office, everything.
Pammi Aunty of Jalandhar to Sobo House's
Shanaya, Sanya, Sonia.
Everyone has to be
a House of Masaba bride.
Like Venom, I came to play
The M-A-S to the A-B-A
This is legacy, concrete
Here to stay
Fashion, kerosene, matchstick
Pave the way
Bitch, I'm ready
I've a crown on my head
Bitch, I'm ready
Now it's my rule
Bitch, I'm ready
Lower your eyes and talk, darling
I'm your king
Cool, that's good connect.
Breaking news, MG! I found
the perfect catch for House of Shaadi.
Ma'am, Nicole,
we haven't designed the clothes yet.
Your opinion is so cute
and unnecessary. Here's how it'll go.
First, we find the big ticket client,
then we design their wedding.
We splash the media with their pictures,
then we design
the actual collection, ca-ching!
Makes complete sense.
I don't have the mind space
to design the whole collection anyway.
Who are these clients you found?
Aisha Mehrauli, dad's princess,
rich, influential,
the only heir to Mehrauli Hotels,
marrying the very aptful Fateh Sikandar,
son of big shot Rony Sikandar.
They're hot, they're sexy, fully into PDA.
They'll get us the right kind of traction.
-Sounds amazing!
-Great! I'm locking this.
Lower your eyes and talk, darling
I'm your king
I'm your king
I'm your king
You better kiss the ring
Putting money in the bank
While I do my thing
I'm your king
You better kiss the ring
Putting money in the bank
While I do my thing
I'm your king
I'm your king
Who is it? Masaba?
No, man, she's not even
talking to me properly.
What's happening?
Have you got a new lover?
No. Ever since I gave that interview,
I've been receiving a lot of messages.
I didn't know Fursat has so many fans.
They want the show to be back.
That's amazing, Neena.
Isn't that what you want too?
Of course, man. I'm fed up
of doing such bullshit cliché roles.
I want to be creative.
I want to be the boss.
But I announced it
without asking the channel.
They have the rights.
They're going to sue me.
Shit.
Why are you so tense? Take the call
and talk to them. Let's see what happens.
Oh, God! Save me. Okay.
Hello, Mr. Santosh!
So, ma'am, you got
the fursat to take the call?
You are so funny.
Look, it's going viral now.
People will forget it in a few days.
Mr. Jamal and Mr. Jaffar want to meet you.
When can you come to Sapna Office?
I'm telling you, everyone will forget it.
Don't worry about it.
That's exactly what we don't want.
The news is hot.
Let's meet and take this forward, madam.
So, you guys want to revive Fursat?
Yes. Mr. Jamal and Mr. Jaffar
are interested after seeing the traction.
And you must be
in touch with Shekhar Mirza, right?
You just talk to him. If he agrees,
we are also ready. We have no problem.
-Yes, of course.
-Right, then. We'll meet soon, madam.
Okay. Bye.
What did he say? Tell me.
He said that if Shekhar Mirza
is on, then they are on.
Shit!
-So, what? Are you gonna work with him?
-Never.
So glad, we're finally meeting.
It's just better to do this face to face.
Absolutely.
So, I know exactly
what I want for my wedding.
I need you to translate it for me.
Right. And what is the vibe
that you're going for?
Something that's fresh.
That's not done before.
Right.
Everything I'm looking at, it's so done,
it's so passé, it's tired, like
Babe, get me my iPad, please!
Babe?
Good morning!
Okay, look at this.
Yuck! Right? Hate it!
-Vomit. Hate it.
-Okay.
I wouldn't even use this as a mop,
you know? I don't understand.
It's your wedding!
Why would you wear something like this?
Take some notes.
So, all of this
is the stuff that you don't like.
Can I see pictures of things
that you actually like?
If I had those, why would I need you?
Right. Of course.
What's going on here?
Masaba!
Oh, my goodness!
Aisha, you're a bitch!
You didn't tell me that Masaba is here.
So, this is so much of fun.
What are you drinking?
Chai? Seriously?
-It's Bellini time. Neeta!
-Are you drunk already?
-Sunita her name is.
-One, two, three, three for me.
Sunita, bring six Bellinis, please!
So, my Aishu is getting married.
I'm so excited, but she's just 25.
I was telling her that marriage can wait.
Just enjoy your youth
and freedom at the moment.
Can you please
meet my mom and tell her that?
Call her. I'll fix everything
for you after a couple of drinks.
Come, girls, help yourselves.
No, we shouldn't be drinking.
There's a lot to do,
we have to take notes, and
Hopefully, we'll see the groom soon.
Yeah.
Fateh! You're meeting him?
Oh, my God! You're going to just love him.
-No, in fact, if I was 20 years younger
-Mom.
As if I would, Aishu!
You know, she's such
a fussy girl, my little Aisha.
When I got married to her dad,
I just got married in some old sari.
'Cause that was your third wedding.
I just need one wedding, one husband.
And one wedding dress,
so it has to be perfect.
Listen, don't worry about anything.
I will make sure the outfit is perfect.
It has to be perfect.
It's your first
wedding collection after all.
Everyone's gonna be watching.
Don't I know it!
My new client is hot.
She's sexy. And she's a diva.
Princess Millie Pie!
Good. Yes, more. Throw all of them in.
This is a circus.
Spin her.
Yeah, spin her.
Just pick her up, pick her up.
Kiss her. Like you're besties.
-Beautiful, yes.
-Okay, stop. Princess has to go 10-1.
What all we have to do these days!
Nicole, give my phone.
Here.
MOM: WHERE ARE YOU?
I SAID SORRY. AT LEAST TALK.
By the way, great news. I've set up
a Queendom segment with you and Neenaji.
They want
a Mother's Day special interview.
Nicole, you've to run these by me first.
It's nothing, MG.
You all have to just be yourselves.
Show the world
your real mother-daughter vibe.
That's what I'm afraid of.
Neenaji has confirmed also.
She's coming this afternoon
to go over everything.
-Wait, she's coming here?
-Yeah.
It's fine. It's nothing.
-God!
-You won't even get to know.
Ma'am, House of Masaba
is completing ten years.
We were thinking of having a small party.
Ten years? Really?
Hello, ladies! A small party?
Nowadays, nose jobs on actresses
don't last ten years.
A brand lasting ten years is huge!
We need a rager, a celebration!
I'll take care of this.
I'll get the guest list going.
We need some goodie bags.
I'm thinking Korean masks
and Lata's very good
organic sheep milk soaps, yeah?
Let's start wrapping up.
After this, Princess
has a shoot at Film City too.
Masaba's name also means princess,
actually. So, princess with Princess.
Ma'am? Nicole didn't inform me
that Neenaji is coming now.
We've a meeting lined up
with Dhairya sir already.
Shit! Everyone had to drop in today?
Sorry, ma'am.
-Hi!
-Hi!
Forgive me,
there's been a scheduling error.
I'm just completely swamped.
We've been trying to meet for weeks.
It's been manic. I'm sorry.
I have just shot with a dog.
I have Gia's birthday.
-There is this House of Shaadi pitch
-Masaba, just breathe. It's all good.
We'll meet tomorrow.
I could cancel cycling
and see you in the morning?
You're cycling? Sounds like fun.
You wanna come?
After a few rounds,
we can discuss the investor's notes.
-Then maybe have some chai or something.
-Yeah, why not?
And it'll be great to meet
outside the office for once.
Okay, done. I'll send you the details.
All right.
-Hi!
-Hello.
-Hello, Neenaji.
-Namaste.
Maybe you have forgotten me.
But I can never forget your scolding.
I'm Dhairya, your daughter's investor.
Of course.
And don't worry.
Now I never call Masaba
after office hours.
No, you can call once in a while.
You have my permission.
Okay then, Dhairya, I'll see you tomorrow.
Yes. Cycling. Exciting.
Until tomorrow.
-Lovely meeting you, Neenaji.
-Nice to see you.
Cycling? Very nice.
Nowadays, you must have fresh air.
Has she forgotten that we had a fight?
I quite like this guy, Dhairya.
Yeah, she's forgotten.
Seems like a nice guy.
Mom, it doesn't matter
whether you like him or not.
He's my investor.
So, what else am I saying?
I'm just saying that I
I think he's a nice guy.
He's good looking, well-to-do and polite.
That's it!
Look, Mom, I've decided
that I'm not gonna date anymore.
I'm just gonna focus on my work.
And he can be the politest man
in the world, but I'm not interested.
One second.
This means you're not going to date now.
You'll be single your whole life, right?
Yes. I will.
Okay, can we talk about the shoot now?
Do you know why I agreed to this shoot?
So that I can meet you.
I called you so many times, no answer.
Didn't come home either. Why?
Yes, you want me to come home.
So that you can start lecturing me again.
You came and started the Dhairya angle.
Why can't you understand
that I'm an adult now?
And I can make my own decisions.
Tell me, am I interfering
in your decisions?
And is this the way
to behave like an adult?
First you want to date everyone,
then you won't date anyone.
-There should be some balance
-Mom, stop it.
Shouldn't there be some balance in life?
Mom, let's do one thing.
Let's drop this shoot.
I'm too busy, as it is.
I'm also very busy.
And if you'd spoken to me,
you'd know that I'm reviving Fursat.
Yeah, I read about it, but I didn't know
it was actually happening.
It is happening.
I'm the showrunner, I'm the lead actress
and we're just searching for a male actor.
Why? What about Shekhar Mirza?
You two were a smashing couple.
I don't want to get into all this.
I'll find somebody.
But why?
Just because you had that affair?
Like, 30 years back.
And you tell me, "Be an adult."
How do you know?
Because, Mom,
I've googled you, like, a million times.
Okay, I have to go now. Bye.
Google is ruining
everyone's life, I swear!
Sorry, Mehta ji,
hope I haven't disturbed you.
No, Neenaji, tell me?
No, I wanted to know if Anil ji has read
the script of Fursat? Did he like it?
-Hi, Aarti, how are you?
-I'm fine ma'am. How are you?
Actually, I was trying
to contact Jaggu ji for so many days.
Can you connect us, please?
No, not the son's part.
I wanted to cast him
in the husband's role.
How can you say that, ma'am?
Sir is too young to play opposite you.
Isn't he two years older than me?
He's singing now?
Yes, he's now recording a religious album.
Prayers for Gangsters.
Okay!
That's nice!
Please say good luck from my side, right?
Not possible this time, Neenaji.
Next time, I promise.
Okay. Thank you so much. Thank you.
Hey, Kuks! How are you?
Hey, Neena? I was just thinking of you.
Really? Why?
The housekeeping lady
of my hotel looks exactly like you.
Shut up! You haven't changed, I see.
Where are you?
Mexico, babe, Mexico!
What are you doing there?
I came here as a contestant
on Fearful Factor: Seniors.
Why didn't they call me for it?
I want to go to Mexico!
They'd call you
if you weren't so busy accepting awards.
Good to have you back in the game, baby!
I want us to be in the game together.
I am rebooting Fursat.
So, I was thinking if we
make a comeback, the people will go mad.
Hey, Neena, why do you want to
bring in the pairing of Saans in Fursat?
People will not like it.
They'll get confused.
No, they won't get confused.
They'll be very happy, man.
My darling, if you ever produce
the remake of Saans, I'll be with you.
Hey, why don't you take that Shekhar,
yes, Shekhar, why don't you take him?
Are you still angry with him?
No! Anyway, leave it. Enjoy yourself. Bye!
Okay. You have a good time.
Shekhar!
Raju, take me to Club X.
Have you packed Gia's cake?
Yes, ma'am.
Hi, guys, I'm sorry,
but I have to cancel tonight.
Some stuff has come up.
But I promise we'll party
another day, okay? Love y'all, bye.
The number you have dialed is
Raju, take a U-turn.
We'll go to Gia's house.
Where is Gia?
-She hasn't left the room?
-It has been three days.
Why did you put on the lights?
I told you I'm sleeping!
Shit!
-What's up?
-Gia, what's going on?
Nothing.
Then why did you
cancel your birthday plans?
I was tired, man.
Catering, bar taxes It's quite hectic.
Wasn't in the mood to get all dressed up
and go out and talk non-stop.
I know what's happened.
What?
You're freaking out about turning 30!
Bitch, if I had to accept it,
you have to accept it too! Okay?
Come on, put on your big girl pants
and let's celebrate your thirsty 30.
No! I'm not thirsty.
I'm tired 30.
Please, I don't have the energy.
Okay, then I guess we'll have
to eat this cake all by ourselves.
'Cause I'm not
leaving you alone on your birthday.
Okay, let me admit, even I had
zero energy for this birthday plan.
I mean, screaming over loud music
is not my scene anymore.
Same! I think we should just accept
that we are not young anymore.
This is just the start. You have no idea
what happens after 30. Just wait.
Means?
Well, bloating, gas, farting.
There's knee pain,
back pain, can't lose weight.
Okay, please stop? You've come here
to cheer me up or depress me even further?
But you want to know the best part?
You just stop giving
any fucks anymore. It's amazing.
Then, by that logic,
I've been 30 for years.
Is this our life now?
You and me, sitting in our pajamas,
eating cake on our birthday.
Well chances are high.
I mean, since school
it's always just been the two of us.
I mean, lovers and friends
just come and go.
Hey, what about our retirement plan?
Neighboring villas in Goa.
You, your man, your two kids.
Me, hot paying guest, with my seven cats.
We should change the plan a little bit.
Forget the husband and kids.
I'll keep pets too.
Why like that?
Let's be practical, Gia.
This is another side effect of being 30.
Time is running out.
You'll be hot at any age.
You'll find a husband easily.
Fuck finding a husband!
I mean, becoming a mother.
Doesn't take that long to make a baby.
Please, Gia, I'm being serious.
Okay, I'll also be serious then.
If you're worried about time,
just give yourself more of it.
Freeze your eggs.
Then whenever you're ready
to have a baby, just have it.
Why give up so soon?
And then what?
Just be a single mom?
I'm here! We'll manage together.
I was anyway born
to be your kid's sassy Massy.
Sounds like a good plan.
But I think you'll find a man before that.
What rubbish! Who's there? Where?
Rana ji? You're meeting him
for a blast in the woods, right?
Listen, please, man,
I'm meeting him for work.
Who meets for work
on a bike trail in the morning?
He absolutely loves you.
Stop talking like my mother.
There's nothing between us.
Why? What's the probs?
-Doesn't give you PQ?
-What is PQ?
PQ.
Pussy Quiver.
It's when you see a guy
and you get a heartbeat down there like
And you just have to have him.
Oh, God! No!
I mean, I get what you're saying.
But Dhairya? Really?
You never know. Watch out for it.
Fuck you, Gia! I'll be thinking
about this the whole time now.
Cycling!
Is he PQ material?
This is like a new superhero costume.
I'm Cycling Man!
Nope!
Right?
-Cycling Man?
-Sure, why not?
Saving the world one puncture at a time?
Yeah?
-Shall we?
-Yeah.
This city is quite beautiful, right?
We just forget sometimes.
Are you okay?
Do you need to lie down or something?
No. I'm totally fine.
It's been a long time
since I went cycling.
You'll have tea or coffee?
Coffee is good.
Wow, you actually thought of everything.
Did you bring
the dining table and chairs, too?
Impressive.
Here.
GIA: DID YOU GET PQ?
What happened?
Just Gia being silly.
Yeah?
What's she saying?
I don't know from where she thought
that this is like a date or something.
Thank you.
Well
I was gonna ask you out
on the night of your fashion show.
But
You said that
you are focusing only on work.
Not on relationships.
So, I didn't.
Yeah.
Anyway, I was talking to the investors,
and they said
they need a little more time.
I think I need a little more time
to digest this information.
Yeah, sure. I can wait
a few more days. No problem.
I have made
a few changes in your proposal.
Just to make it seem
a little more appealing.
Question is, is your proposal appealing?
Whatever you think is right. I trust you.
But can I lust for you?
I'm gonna kill Gia!
NICOLE: BEST OF LUCK
FOR THE GROOM MEETING!
I wouldn't go there if I were you.
Sorry. Didn't see you sitting there.
-We're here to see
-Yeah, Fateh I know.
He's changing.
And he never closes the door.
Unless you want to see too much of him,
I would suggest just waiting right here.
Cool.
-Is that him?
-He wishes.
He's that dumpling on the left.
Don't listen to a word she says.
It's her job to badmouth me.
I see you've met my sister, Mehek.
So, what's up?
My heart rate?
I've been over-booked as usual.
My father has me handling
this bullshit task for him.
He'll come to his wedding
like this?
Errand boy, as always.
Oh, oh.
But how about we do this in my car?
What does he mean, "car"?
If you have somewhere to be,
I can drop you off.
Yes? No?
I mean, a girl's gotta work.
-Sure.
-Awesome.
Shall we?
You take the car
and go home. I'll figure this out.
One large whiskey with water.
How are you, Neena?
Is that
PQ?
