Masaba Masaba (2020) s02e03 Episode Script

1
What is this?
Now that you're married,
you just shake hands with exes?
Only with those who broke my heart.
Ouch!
Listen, I'm sorry
that I have to drag you along to this.
But I promise
it'll only take five minutes, so
It's all right. Work is work.
And this is work.
A normal, regular work meeting.
Yup, totally normal.
Do you like this track?
Yeah. It's cool.
-It's cool, right?
-Yeah.
Is he flirting?
I don't think he's flirting.
Wait, am I flirting?
No, I'm definitely not flirting.
Okay, this is stupid.
Talk about work. Talk about work.
Hey, listen, about your outfit.
So, do you have something in mind?
Honestly, if I had my way,
I'd turn up to that mandap in boxers. So
Make me wear what you feel is right.
And you look like you have good taste,
so I'm not worried.
Well, duh!
Thank you. But I do have
to show you some options.
How about I show you
my thing first, then you show me yours?
Cool?
Am I trying to be a king,
or enter his harem?
French toast, vanilla cheese soufflé
So, you do remember.
What?
That I liked you in purple the most.
Please. If I wore any other color,
you'd have made the same comment.
What can I do?
I think you look good in every color.
-How is it my fault?
-Shall we talk about the show?
-Yes. Okay.
-Okay.
The children have grown up.
They're all busy with their own lives.
So now, we, the parents,
can focus on our lives.
Last time we conveyed that you have
to make compromises in a marriage.
But now we want to convey
that it's okay to leave a bad marriage,
because times have changed.
Really?
Is this based on your personal life?
Sorry to disappoint you.
My marriage is rock solid.
I'm very happy in my marriage.
Okay. Why are you getting so touchy?
I'm just joking.
Actually, you've written my story.
Why? The third one also left you?
Yes.
But that does mean
that I'm available. Interested?
-No one is interested.
-Hey!
First tell me,
are you interested in the show?
Of course I am! It's an amazing idea.
Great! Thank you.
You want the truth?
I'd have said yes,
even if it was a terrible idea.
An opportunity to spend time with you
after all these years,
how can I pass that up?
Let's just order some food.
-Say cheers first.
-Cheers.
Yeah, so this is Dad's building.
He wanted some construction updates.
He has made me his slave.
This is the last place
I predicted I'd end up at tonight.
Yeah. But where's the fun
in a predictable life?
Come, I've got one more thing to do.
What now?
Listen, Fateh, where are you taking me?
Don't worry. I'll keep you safe.
Okay, that's what serial killers say
before they chop you up.
This is beautiful.
Fuck! It is, isn't it?
You know, I think
I'm noticing it for the first time.
Come on! How can you
notice this for the first time?
No, really. Perks of the job,
I didn't even know I had.
Hey.
Hey, listen.
I'm sorry that
we couldn't do your work today.
But you enjoyed it, right?
Yes.
Perks of the job I didn't even know I had.
But listen,
I will hound you for that outfit,
or you'll really end up
entering the mandap in boxers.
I still think it's the best idea.
Bye.
Trouble.
Yep. Full mess.
Ma'am, what about this look for Fateh?
Fuck! Pay attention to the work!
No. Guys, this is the first wedding
for the House of Shaadi, right?
-It has to have a Masaba stamp.
-Right.
Just think of
what a Masaba bride and groom would wear.
Ma'am, should we take out old prints
and create a mood board?
-Yeah, let's start with that.
-Okay.
-MG, can I see you for a sec?
-Yeah.
We need to figure these things out.
So first things first.
When can you take a few days off
to go to the Maldives?
I've cracked a free deal.
Thank you very much.
Sounds very tempting,
but where's the time for all this?
Yes, whenever you get time.
Good news, you're shooting
with your mom this Saturday.
Mom is never good news.
Bad news,
Alia has hired Qayanaat for her cover.
That bloody gecko, Qayanaat!
Thank God!
'Cause I was really stressed about
fitting it in my schedule, so it's fine.
Fantastic!
You anyway have bigger fish to fry.
Fried fish!
I'm sorry. Cravings. This one.
Yeah. Final thing.
Your House of Shaadi
announcement is ready.
How do you do it, man?
I mean, six months pregnant,
and you're always on top of it,
not taking a day off.
Isn't it hard?
There's nothing hard in it.
This just goes with me, wherever I go.
I was the same in my childhood.
I never took off my backpack.
The only difference is that it
used to be in the back, now it's in front.
And anyway, MG,
if I can handle my husband,
then this is just
a walk in the joggers park.
After seeing you,
I think I can also do it.
I've been thinking about freezing my eggs.
Oh, my God! You absolutely must.
I'll make an appointment.
I know a guy who's making
all the Bollywood babies.
No. Hang on.
I have a doctor. I'll make the call.
You're anyway handling all my work.
Don't take on more, please.
Okay, fine.
But what are you waiting for? Call now.
-Like, now?
-Yes, now!
If you keep on thinking, you'll never be
able to do it, MG. Do it now.
-Okay. Cool.
-Yeah. Do it.
Hi! I'd like to take an appointment
for an egg freezing consultation, please.
Yeah, Masaba Gupta.
Great, thanks.
-Thank you!
-Yeah!
What a great day!
Before we drown
in our sea of motherly love,
one last task for the day.
Announce about House of Shaadi.
It's pending.
Yeah! Of course.
Ma'am, as we are getting into
wedding designs, this is where it's at.
Excuse me, madam.
Anyway, all the designers buy fabric
from here and put their stamp on.
Okay, it has been years
since I came to such a market.
Let's see what
the real brides of India are wearing.
This is fine.
But show us something more subtle.
No. No.
I will tell you.
Show me something like this.
Hey, G. You won't believe where I am.
But anything urgent?
Otherwise I'll call you back.
God! These baking accounts are dangy.
I feel like eating a brownie now.
-Gia, you didn't go to work?
-Yeah, I'll go.
Oh, my God! What is this announcement?
The first bride and groom
of the House of Shaadi?
Fuck brownies! Send him to my house.
He is pretty good looking.
Do I sense a hint of PQ?
No, you don't, because
I'm a professional, remember?
I just hope I remember that.
Okay, fine.
And Ranaji? What's happening with him?
Nothing is going to happen!
I told you I'm not dating right now.
This is what always happens.
You can't find anyone when you're looking.
And when you're single,
you're suddenly drowning in dick.
Gia, I'll call you back. And please
get off Instagram and do some work, okay?
Bye.
Good morning, Mr. Jamal.
Good morning, Mr. Jaffar.
Please sit, Neenaji.
We read the synopsis of your show.
The story is good.
We just have to change a couple of things.
Of course.
In the beginning, you remove the funeral
And replace it with a wedding.
Cut down on Shekhar's and your roles
And increase the youngster's role.
-Get rid of the friend character.
-And bring back the mistress character.
Reduce the fight scenes.
And increase sex scenes.
-Not yours
-But your children's.
The rest is fine.
The pilot will be amazing.
And this kid will be the director.
And that one will be the writer.
When you've decided everything,
why do you need me?
We do need you, Neenaji.
You are the showrunner.
You'll run the whole show.
As long as you remember that, I'm okay.
We'll see you
at the pilot screening, Neenaji.
Big fan, Mrs. G.
I have so much to learn from you.
It's going to be a real trip, bro.
Honestly speaking,
I came to know of a new term today,
so I thought of sharing it with you all.
It's called "mansplaining."
This term is used when
men start explaining to women,
how to do this, how not to do this.
They feel like they are smarter
and know better than women.
So, please bear in mind
mansplaining can happen.
Hello.
Hey, Gia, where are you?
It's time for the appointment.
Babe, I am already here.
Very cool new office
you've made, uh, by the way.
I didn't know these
egg freezing guys came to offices too.
Fertility solutions at your doorstep!
Why did you go to my office Dhairya?
Hey!
I thought I'd come a little early to
check out your new House of Shaadi office
before our meeting.
But this looks like a House of Baby?
Next!
Why did you come here?
Who gave you this address?
You sent it to me.
"We have to check out Aisha's pitch."
Next!
Can't you hear me? Please hurry up.
The doctor doesn't have time to waste.
So you brought the sperm donor
with you? That's really smart.
-Excuse me?
-No. It's not like that.
He's just here.
But this is a good thing,
'cause now you can
freeze your embryo together.
Look! I just want to
freeze my eggs. That's it, okay?
Anyway, when was your last period?
Because we start this procedure
from the first day of your period.
Masaba, I'll give you some privacy.
Okay.
And what happens during this procedure?
First, we'll give you hormones
at the time of ovulation.
Basically this will
stimulate the ovaries, and
Doc, these hormone injections,
what kind of side effects do they have?
Dhairya, I got this.
Masaba, these injections are no joke.
I think we need to know
what kind of effects it could have
on you physically, on your state of mind.
You don't want to be caught off guard.
What?
Nothing.
You're very sweet, Dhairya.
But I can handle this.
Right. Of course. Sorry.
Sorry about that.
So, this procedure
won't affect my work, right?
-With all the injections and everything.
-Actually, your friend is right.
There are no major side effects,
but you can face nausea,
dizziness, headache.
And if you think any of this
is going to affect your work,
then you might need to take
a short break from work.
Hey! You're still here?
Yeah.
It seemed pretty important, so I thought
I'd stick around
in case you needed to talk.
Well, doesn't matter.
I don't think I can do it now anyway.
Don't have the time or the bandwidth.
I mean, that's valid.
But I think it's really cool
that you're even considering it.
And in case you ever need anything,
you can count on me.
Thanks.
When you constantly feel like you're being
pulled in a million different directions,
how do you balance life, work,
love, family and yourself?
Do you go with your instincts?
Do you go with your heart?
Or do you listen
to that voice in your head?
#headVsheart
It's okay.
One second.
Hello.
Shekhar's dates are working out?
Damn good. Bye. Thanks. Bye.
MG, Kat just reposted
the House of Shaadi announcement.
She's definitely
getting married next year.
-She might call you, I have a feeling.
-I hope so.
-Fingers crossed.
-Can we please clear?
-I'm gonna hold it for you.
-Good?
-Thank you, thank you.
-Yeah.
Let's go for a take. Action.
Hi! This is Neena Gupta, my mother.
Hi! This is Masaba Gupta, my daughter.
And we're here today
for the Queendom Mother's Day special Q&A.
Where we'll answer
your most searched questions.
-Let's start.
-Yes.
What is the meaning of Masaba?
So, Masaba means princess in Swahili.
My dad named me.
My mother wanted to name me Chanda.
Chanda is such a nice name.
It means "moon."
Mom, please!
Can you imagine "House of Chanda"?
It sounds like a dance bar.
Okay, your question.
Does Neena Gupta watch cricket?
Okay. I used to watch cricket a lot.
But now, I'm not watching it,
because matches go on for
the whole year. It's become quite boring.
-Okay, moving on.
-Please.
One sec.
Who's Masaba Gupta's boyfriend?
I also want to know.
No one.
And I don't intend on
having one for a long time either.
Let's see. Maybe, you'll find someone.
Moving on.
Were Neena Gupta
and Shekhar Mirza an item?
This is a good question, Mom.
I mean, instead of my dating life,
tell us about your dating life.
Yes, I'll surely tell you.
Shekhar Mirza and I
are making a comeback with Fursat.
So watch the show, see our chemistry,
and decide for yourself!
-Right?
-Nicely done.
Next question.
Does Masaba Gupta want to become an actor?
Yeah, I did. But Mom did not let me.
For your own good, right?
Yeah. But I haven't given up just yet.
I'll try acting at least once.
Yes, you must. Anyway,
you do as you like in any case.
Next question. Is Neena Gupta pregnant?
Oh, my God!
Who sent this question?
Hey, man, I was pregnant for my film.
Now, it's my daughter's age
to get pregnant.
Okay. Just to clarify,
I'm not pregnant either.
Thank God!
Yeah, Mom. I know
you're very happy that I'm not pregnant.
But, on a serious note,
motherhood is just very important to me.
And it doesn't really matter, in which
shape and form it enters your life.
And now, you have a lot of options.
There's IVF, there's you know,
you can freeze
your eggs, embryos. I'm open to it all.
She can't even light a stove,
and she talks of motherhood.
Can we cut?
Did she actually say cut?
Hey! I was just joking.
Masaba, I was just joking.
I need five minutes.
Yes, take five. Cut it now.
-You have enough I think.
-Yeah.
Reset.
-Everything okay?
-Yes, sir.
How can you leave the shoot in the middle?
Don't behave like a brat, Masaba.
Nicole spoke to the director.
They said we've got enough.
Hey, I was just joking.
Why are you so upset?
Because it's not a joke, Mom!
And just to let you know,
I had an appointment yesterday with the
fertility doctor about freezing my eggs.
This is something
I'm actually thinking about.
You took such a big decision
without telling me?
Why should I?
So that you can discourage me?
Or tell me how I'm incapable
of being a mother right now?
Please, I don't need this right now.
Can we at least talk about it?
Sorry, I have a meeting. Bye.
You're doomed if you speak,
doomed if you don't.
-Hi, Li'l Yummy.
-Hi!
Let's do some rap.
-Hello, Dada! How are you?
-Oh, my God! Neenaji. This is Li'l Yummy.
Nice to meet you, hello.
-How are you, Dada? After a long time.
-Good. How are you?
Absolutely fine.
-Did you ever watch my show Fursat?
-I never missed it.
-So, I'm reviving Fursat.
-Okay.
So I wanted you to do
its title song and music.
Very good.
Which style you want your title song in?
I want a little vintage feel.
Right now, I'm totally immersed
in techno and hip hop.
But for you, I think
deep house will be the best.
Young generation, they want to dance.
And dances their heart out.
So, that's what I was thinking.
Okay, let me see. I'll come to you
when I make something like that.
-Hundred percent. Thank you.
-Thank you!
-So nice to meet you. Good day, Dada.
-Thank you, Neenaji.
Okay. Right.
God, Mom, stop it!
Fateh, can you stop encouraging her?
Fuck! Fateh is also here.
Fine, no problem. I got this.
Do I have to stop flirting
after marriage too?
But, Aisha,
I can still sleep around, right?
In your dreams, buddy.
Hey!
-Hi, love!
-Hi!
Ignore them. I'm so excited
to see what you're gonna make for me.
I'll leave you guys to it then.
Hey, but I have your mood board as well.
I mean, up to you.
-Perfect! Babe, stay please.
-Okay.
First of all, thank you for trusting me
with such an important day in your life.
House of Masaba hasn't done
any weddings before this.
And we're so proud to have you
as our first House of Shaadi bride.
You wanted something different.
Something out of the box.
Here it is!
Bold, unique, vibrant.
A statement piece
in which you will stand apart.
Lehenga will be emerald green,
with pink lotuses.
And we'll do a contrasting fuchsia blouse,
with delicate hand embroidered work.
And the dupatta
won't be heavy or uncomfortable,
but just a free-flowing,
beautiful organza.
And you can pick between
the green and the pink.
I'm sorry. Are we talking about
my wedding or yours?
Excuse me?
I mean, were you only
thinking about House of Shaadi
or maybe, were you also thinking about me?
You know, your first bride?
You know, Masaba, I could've gone
with any top designer in this country,
but you know why I chose you?
Because when I look
at your designs, I see you in them.
Your brand captures
your essence so well, that I thought
maybe when you design
for a bride, you'll capture her essence.
But, no. This is all you, all over again.
Tell me something, Masaba.
Will all your brides look like you?
I'm sorry.
Maybe I misunderstood.
I have some more options.
I've seen enough, Masaba.
Thank you so much.
Gosh! This House of Shaadi
has turned into a House of Ruin.
Just let Mumma save the day.
Let's just wrap it up.
Hey! You think that was bad?
I'm the one who's marrying her.
Think about my plight.
I'll just clear this up
and I'll leave. Thanks.
-Hey.
-So?
How did the pitch go?
Can I give any good news to the board?
Don't ask!
These spoilt princesses, I tell you.
She said it looks like
any other House of Masaba outfit.
If you don't want it to look
like a House of Masaba outfit,
why the hell did you come to me?
She says, it needs to be a bit more "her."
Now, should I change
the entire aesthetic for her?
But, she's right, you know?
Excuse me?
Masaba, this is not
any regular client. She's the bride.
It's her day!
So, your approach to House of Shaadi
is gonna have to be different
from House of Masaba.
Okay, now you'll give me
lessons in designing?
If influencers and investors
know everything, why am I required?
I'll do one thing,
I'll send you Aisha's number.
You go and pitch it, right?
Okay, you know what?
Today has been quite stressful for you.
So, maybe we should catch up
for a drink and talk about it.
Turning a fight into a date? Guts!
Let me think about that for a second.
No!
I called you in the afternoon.
Why are you so late?
How does it matter? I'd have
drank this in the afternoon as well.
-Will you have some? Cheers.
-No, thanks.
-Have you read the script for the pilot?
-Yes.
Don't know
what sort of writers they've hired.
So much melodrama, fake dialogues.
It doesn't matter.
We'll improvise. We did it before.
Have you seen
the opening scene? Who talks like this?
No woman talks like that.
I'm sure this is written by a man.
I have to change it entirely.
You liked it?
I have a complaint.
What?
There's not a single
kissing scene between us.
No, I'm serious, man!
Isn't this ageist?
Do people our age not kiss?
This is nonsense, man!
Are you going to
behave like this the whole time?
What? How am I behaving?
-I've no idea what you mean?
-You know what I mean.
You know, these things were cute
20 years ago, but now they're irritating.
And you think by using a filmy dialogue,
I'll forget all that you did to me?
Can't you just forget the past?
-I can't forget, Shekhar.
-I mean
Can't we at least be friends?
You didn't just leave me.
You left our show.
Thinking you'll get better work?
Then what happened?
She left you, and you were
without work for so many years.
Till I offered you this job.
I can help you professionally, but don't
think we can be friends again, ever.
Okay.
Forget I said anything.
-Shall we rehearse lines?
-Please.
-Yes?
-Hello, ma'am. Myself Indu.
I'm here for your
Suburban Snap massage appointment.
I think you came to the wrong house.
I haven't booked any appointment.
It's the correct address, ma'am.
And there's a note also. See.
"Sorry. Didn't mean to
add to your stress. Hope this helps."
-Not required.
-But, ma'am.
But, ma'am
Hi, guys! This is Aisha Mehrauli.
And welcome toWhat's in my Bag?
So, let's see. Okay
What now? Why can't
they leave me alone? I am working.
So this phone cover I actually
Fuck!
Hi!
I'm sorry. I should've
warned you before video calling.
No, that's fine. I just wasn't
expecting a video call, so
No. I love a good avocado night suit.
Thanks.
You wanted to talk about your outfit?
I'm not worried about that.
I'm actually worried about you.
I mean, it's not so easy
to please Aisha. I should know.
I thought you could use an inside man.
I really could.
I don't know what I did wrong.
I thought Aisha
would like that design very much.
She's such a bright and extroverted girl.
I thought, she'd love to
stand out on her wedding day.
Well, that's where
you're wrong, Miss Gupta.
Aisha actually hates
anything that is too flashy,
or, you know, makes it seem
like she's trying too hard.
Ouch!
But, hey! I'd wear
that lehenga in a heartbeat.
But with Aisha, it's kinda like
you are giving her
Madonna vibes, when she is Madhubala.
Okay, I get it.
By the way, you too give Eminem vibes,
but turned out to be Gulzar, right?
You must really know her well, no?
We've known each other
since we were 12, so
So childhood sweethearts then.
Yeah. Our parents thought so,
that's why we're here, getting married.
What do you mean "families"?
Is this an arranged marriage?
Yeah. I suppose you could call it
an arranged marriage. Yeah.
I had no idea.
I mean, all marriages are
some sort of arrangements, aren't they?
Yeah.
Some start as arrangements
and some become them.
So are you happy with this arrangement?
You know what they say,
"If you play with fire,
you're gonna get burnt."
"Enough! Our marriage
is not a marriage, it has become a joke.
I'm tired of this, Abhimanyu."
"So what do you think?
Am I not tired of this?
But I'm willing to fight a war
to save this relationship.
-Won't you stand by me, Supriya?"
-"That's what I'm saying.
-If marriage is a"
-Don't say "a."
-"If marriage is war." Yes.
-Yes, we'll omit "a." Good idea.
"If the marriage seems like war,
what's the use of saving it?"
"So we just accept defeat?"
"I've been fighting
for 20 years to save this marriage.
What have you done?
Your lies, your anger, your infidelity
I tolerated all of it.
You did not just break my heart,
you stole my confidence from me.
What you term as a defeat,
it is freedom for me."
You remember all my shortcomings,
but forgot one thing.
My love.
