Masaba Masaba (2020) s02e07 Episode Script

1
I've been chasing the wrong things.
And running away from right things.
Listening to my head
and ignoring the voice in my heart.
But it's time I went after
what I really want.
I don't want to be the king anymore.
I want to be me.
I want to be happy.
I want to be creative. I want to have fun.
And I admit, I want love.
-Oh, my God. The one in the black suit?
-Did you see it?
Hey, guys! Haven't got ready yet?
Yes, I just need to go get my jewelry.
Can you fix that?
Is Fateh ready?
Yes, ma'am. I've given him his clothes.
He'll get ready in his room.
He should be locked up in his room.
-Pull that up.
-Anyway, where is Mehek?
She's here.
Okay, you take care of these guys.
I'll go talk to her.
Mehek, get up. Go try this.
Can't I just wear this and go.
Who's going to look at me, anyway?
I'll look at you.
Listen, I've worked
damn hard on this outfit.
So I'd love to see it. Please try it.
Fine!
What is it? You don't like it?
Thank you.
I love it.
-I can't believe only, this is me.
-Why?
-Because I look beautiful.
-But you are beautiful.
I guess I'll have to get married now.
No, you still have time.
Tell me, if you want to run.
I'll get you out from the back exit.
And what about poor Fateh?
Don't worry about him. What do you want?
I want to get married.
So, what? Anyone will do.
No. I want to get married to Fateh.
We have it all planned.
Get married now.
In one year, we'll have a baby.
One baby is fine.
Buy a house in the hills.
Open a digital marketing agency.
Get nice and fat and happy.
And what if things don't go as per plan?
Masaba, I'm not naive.
I know life does not go
according to plans.
But unless you make plans,
you can't fulfill them.
We always need something to look
forward to, to work towards. Right?
We can't achieve anything
in life by being afraid.
And you know what? It's okay.
If it doesn't work out,
I'll make other plans.
You've met my mom, right?
I've learnt that much from her.
I think you'll be just fine.
I know.
Gehna, call a taxi
for the airport. I'm leaving.
-You can pack everything up and come.
-Yes, ma'am.
Excuse me, we've to get a photo
with the bride and groom.
House of Shaadi's big launch. Come on.
I think the clothes can speak
for themselves, Nicole. I'm leaving.
No MG, you cannot leave.
We've been hustling
for this day for months.
We've to really milk this,
if we want people talking about this.
I've done the work, no?
Now, I need to do something for myself.
But what is more important than this?
You wanted to be king?
Today's coronation day.
I don't want to be
this type of a king anymore.
Sir, that Masaba has come.
Should I send her in,
or say that you're busy?
-Ask her to come in.
-Okay.
-Hi!
-Hey!
I'm sorry. Did we have
an appointment scheduled for today?
No. We hadn't.
But I wanted to talk to you.
And I've been calling you all morning.
Actually, it's fine.
Better to do this in person, no?
Yeah. Actually, it's good that you came.
I've been wanting to tell you something.
I just want to say
that the last couple of months
have been fantastic for you.
Your brand has grown
from strength to strength.
And I just think, it's all you.
Kudos. Congratulations to you.
Thank you.
I myself have been hoping to diversify.
Expand my investments.
And I believe that now
is the right time for me
to pull out of House of Masaba.
What?
I've been talking
to a few firms in New York
and I think now is the right time
to make a move over there.
So I've got this
list of investors for you.
If you wish, I could start initial
conversations with them,
because you don't really need me.
You have a line of people
waiting to invest in you.
Dhairya, why are you talking to me
like you don't know me?
What's the matter?
The matter is that, Masaba, that I
got a little too invested.
In your company and in you.
And
I was hoping that somewhere
you'd feel the same.
-But I
-But I don't want to make this awkward
between us.
I just feel it's best
if we don't work together anymore.
Look, I know things
have been shaky between us.
But I just needed some time.
We can figure this out.
I came here to say sorry.
Yeah, Masaba,
I don't want to be the consolation prize.
Okay?
Why are you saying this?
I guess you don't realize
that you called me last night.
When?
When Fateh came to your room,
to kiss you.
Okay. And?
And nothing. I had to cut the call,
because I had seen enough.
So, what? You just assumed
that we slept together?
I know you guys kissed.
I heard him say that.
Look, I made a mistake, okay?
I'm not perfect like you.
I fuck up. And I fuck up a lot.
But, are you just gonna keep accusing me,
without knowing what really happened?
I'm not accusing you, Masaba,
I just wanna know if
Look, you know what?
It's not like we're a thing.
You don't owe me anything.
It's none of my business.
And this, this
I mean, I can't. I don't want, I can't
No, I can't do this.
Best to just
You know
Okay. Got it.
Good call.
And I don't need this list.
I can find investors on my own.
Thanks for everything.
Yes, Thursday's perfect.
I'm so excited to get a chance
on your platform.
Because you people are taking risks.
You are making very good content.
And I think our wavelength
will match perfectly.
Yeah! Great. Okay,
see you on Thursday. Bye, Lohita.
Thursday's meeting is fixed. Come with me,
the two of us will make a better impact.
Are you sure we can trust
these new networks?
I mean, they take three-four months
just to greenlight a project.
And sometimes just shelve it.
Hey, the meeting is fixed. Be positive.
Everything will be done quickly. Trust me.
I don't know, man. I'm not sure.
I think we should talk once more
with Mr. Jamal and Mr. Jaffar.
Everyone will fall in line
after your scolding.
We've already talked about it.
Nothing is going to happen there.
Trust me.
Just a minute.
Yes, Mr. Santosh. How are you?
I'm fine, madam.
You just disappeared
after your show got greenlit.
No, no, I was just developing
the story for the latter episodes.
We'll start the work after that, right?
I heard that you're holding
meetings with other channels?
So, I can't even have meetings
with other channels?
I'm planning other shows.
Madam, don't try to act smart with me.
I know that you're meeting
other channels regarding Fursat.
But you must know,
we hold all the rights for Fursat.
What do you think, we won't sue you
if you change the name of the program?
What's this talk of suing?
What you're making and
what we're making is entirely different.
If Shekhar and me are working in it,
it doesn't mean that we're making Fursat.
Madam, Mr. Shekhar is not available.
Just this morning, he signed a contract
with us for season one of Fursat.
And we'll send your exclusive contract
to your home with due respect.
And what if I don't sign it?
Then we'll see you in court.
Let's see which tune the other channels
sing after hearing about the case.
Neena, listen.
It's 100% my fault.
I should have known better.
You did this 30 years ago.
And you're doing the same thing now.
I I knew about you.
I knew about the channel.
Still, I went along.
Got swayed by your smooth talk.
Now, I'm done.
With you and with the channel.
Neena, look, I really, really
I know. You "really tried"?
Keep trying your whole life.
Do this show! It suits your level.
You never rose above this, and never will.
Because to rise above it, you need guts
and courage. You need balls.
And thanks for reminding me,
that I have balls. Now, please, go!
Fucking asshole.
Hey, glam-puss.
Wow! Your greetings just get
better and better, Micks.
Oh, honey, you should see my DM game.
But listen, babe. First of all,
congratulations on House of Shaadi.
Everyone is talking about it.
Fabulous. Fabulous. Fabulous!
Honey, I hope
you're sitting down for this.
Because I have decided
to give you the grand finale
at Flair Fashion Week, Miss Gupta.
Oh, my God! What?
Wow! I
I don't know what to say.
Just say that you'll debut your entire
House of Shaadi collection on my stage.
That's all that Mickey wants.
Masu
Babe, are you there?
Yes, of course, I'm there.
Listen, thank you so much for this.
It means a lot.
I won't let you down.
This is so good! I love that review!
Phenomenal.
Hi, guys!
Wow! Ma'am, congratulations.
You have taken social media by storm.
Thank you. But congratulations to us all.
So, should we start
designing the actual collection?
Is it the same color palette?
Or do you have something else in mind?
Actually, I do have
something else in mind.
Okay. What?
I've realized that House of Shaadi
is not what I want to do.
I know, guys.
We've worked very hard on this collection.
But, to be honest,
my heart wasn't in it
from the beginning itself.
I felt that this would be the logical step
in taking things to the next level.
So I decided to do it.
But I did not enjoy it.
You know, in the entire wedding, which was
the one outfit I was super proud of?
Mehek's.
I made a young girl feel beautiful.
And that's why I became a designer.
Not just for the fame and money.
Definitely for the money, ma'am.
I'm your accountant, so I know this.
You know, seeing Mehek
reminded me of my childhood.
When I was 13 or 14 years old.
And I wanted to look cool
and wear all these outfits.
Nothing would fit me.
I would wear loose shirts and baggy jeans.
There was nothing in the market
for my body-type.
So, I thought of designing it myself.
And nothing has changed.
Even today, the market has
very limited options for teenage girls.
Yeah.
Especially for those who don't fit
into normal beauty standards.
Yeah!
I want to change that.
So I've decided to change direction.
And launch a collection for teenage girls.
Wait for it!
It's going to be affordable,
it's gonna cater to all shapes and sizes.
But, most importantly,
it's gonna make them feel beautiful.
-Wow!
-Good!
Ma'am, can I give you a hug?
-Yeah! Of course.
-Hey! Yeah!
A proud day for me.
But contrary to what
everybody expects of me,
I will not be doing
House of Shaadi for the grand finale.
But something much more personal
and true to my voice.
Following your true path
is the toughest decision,
but it's always worth it in the end.
Ma'am, Mickey sir has called many times.
He is asking
why you changed the collection.
Just tell him to chill and trust me. Okay?
Also, Ma'am,
Dhairya sir's office sent some documents.
We need your signature
to terminate the investment.
Leave them here, I'll see it later.
Ma'am, can I help you?
Do you need anything?
No, my childhood photos are enough
for this collection.
Are you sure you don't need
the design team for referencing?
Not this time. If you want to do
referencing, do it for your own wedding.
We can revive
House of Shaadi for you one more time.
Ma'am, the wedding plans
are on pause right now.
-Why? I thought you found someone.
-Ma'am
He didn't turn out to be what I thought.
Universal problem.
Ma'am, at first he said
he's okay with a working wife.
Then a couple of times he casually asked,
"Would you be able to manage
home and work together?"
I mean, why would I
have to manage that alone?
So I told him that we'll do it together.
Yeah, obviously.
So what did he say?
Then he said, "Yes, it's okay for now,
but what will happen after a child?"
I felt a little off after hearing this.
I had a suffocating feeling.
Ma'am, I feel like backing out.
But, then, Mom and Dad will be very upset.
So I haven't told it to anyone.
How are you taking it all?
I'm fine only, ma'am.
To be honest,
since I thought of saying no,
I feel much lighter.
Like I got away.
No, then it must be
the right decision only.
Women always know when something is off.
Just take some time in taking action.
-Should always trust your gut.
-Exactly, ma'am.
And to be honest, ma'am,
I want an all-round type life.
Marriage, career,
children, success, all of them.
I don't want to give up on anything.
I mean, that's pretty basic, right?
Of course. Absolutely.
We can have it all.
And we should have it all.
-Hello, ma'am.
-Hello, dear. How are you?
Very well, ma'am.
Ma'am, I'll take your leave?
Hey, Mom, you didn't tell me
you were coming? Sit, sit.
You want some tea?
No, I won't have tea today.
Today, I'll have something else.
Here's a bottle for you.
And here's my bottle.
I tore up Fursat's contract.
Okay.
So are we drinking in sorrow
or celebration?
Celebration, it's in celebration.
I'm free now!
I always keep advising you, right?
-But, today, I followed your advice.
-How?
I thought, when my daughter
can follow her heart,
why can't I?
What's the worst that could happen?
I'll be jobless for a few days? So be it.
But I'll only take up work
that excites me.
Agreed. Correct.
-Cheers.
-Cheers.
You look very happy.
It feels good to see you happy.
Yes, now the only happiness
I can get is from work.
There's no scope for anything else.
What happened to that investor?
He's going to New York.
It's okay.
If you're destined to meet a perfect guy
I mean,
there's no such thing as a perfect guy.
But you'll meet him when it's meant to be.
I just feel like,
by keeping on waiting like this,
what if I miss out
on a chance to have a child and a family?
So that's why
you wanted to freeze your eggs.
Go for it!
So, suddenly you are okay with this idea?
I'm not okay-okay with it,
but I know more and more
young women are doing it.
And, at least, you'll be at peace.
There will be no tension.
You won't rush into marriage
with the wrong person,
just because you're getting older.
But let me tell you,
whether you get married,
remain single, double or triple,
I know one thing. You'll be a good mother.
And when did you get to know this?
Intuition.
After all, you're my daughter.
And your situation
is far better than mine.
You're independent.
You earn, have your own business.
And I
I haven't told you, I even got your
head-shaving ceremony done for free.
Hey, I think I was just
looking at that photo.
-One second.
-Show me.
Yes, my friend was going to get the
head-shaving ceremony done for her son.
So, I took you along
and got yours done for free.
At least you got it done,
one way or another.
And your mind has become sharp ever since.
Here, this is your sharp-minded daughter.
You were born so adorable.
What happened now?
Mom, see this one.
So cute!
As they say, to survive in this world,
you need hard work,
destiny and connections.
But to tell you the truth,
to survive in this world,
you need courage, guts.
Courage to follow
unconventional paths in life.
Courage to be vulnerable.
Courage to let go
of what doesn't feel right.
Courage to put yourself
out there and take chances.
Courage to settle for
nothing less than you deserve.
Courage to always go after
what you really, really want.
We have just one life to live.
And like the saying goes,
"To live in fear, is to not live at all!"
Feeling better now?
-Take.
-Want some tea?
-Tea.
-No. Guys, chill. I'm fine.
You're not fine. How can you be?
Things have gone inside of you,
and come out of you and not in a fun way.
You're nuts.
Gia, they've just taken my eggs out,
not an actual baby. Okay?
My period is much worse.
I'm very proud of you, Masaba.
Gia, you also get it done.
I was thinking about it.
But then my therapist said that
I should focus on one thing at a time.
So, for now,
I am going to focus on myself.
And, anyway,
eggs can wait for a few years.
All this egg talk
is making me crave an omelette.
-Should I make one?
-Yes, please. With extra cheese.
I'll bring it.
Who's calling now?
Why is Lohita calling me?
I'll be right back.
Then?
You'll be okay before the show?
I could do it right now.
Everything is ready.
That's nuts.
I've never seen you
so chill before any show.
Yeah, I guess, this time I'm just
not worried about comments, and reviews.
I just love the collection so much.
That's awesome.
Is Ranaji coming?
No.
He has a flight.
Acting pricey.
Fuck him! Lame.
We'll find another
baby daddy for your eggs.
You've already got
an extension of ten years.
-I did it! I did it!
-What?
-What?
-I did it!
-What?
-Ask what I did?
-What?
-What you did?
Lohita just told me,
I've just got my own talk-show
To Be Honest.
What?
To Be Honest went viral.
So they have given me a talk-show.
To Be Honest by Neena Gupta.
Yes! Yes!
Congratulations!
-Oh, my God!
-Thank you.
I can't believe this.
Amazing, Mom.
-It's all happening.
-Really!
We did it.
Hey!
Are you leaving? Are you actually leaving?
I thought it was an excuse
to ditch the fashion show.
I always mean what I say.
I know.
So, do you need anything from me?
Yeah. Just couple of minutes of your time.
But, if you're busy, then another time.
Actually, no. I need to talk right now.
-Let's go sit over there.
-Okay.
Okay, so
-I have one problem since childhood.
-Just one problem?
Okay. I've a lot of problems,
but I have one main problem.
I'm listening.
It's just that I'm scared.
I'm scared
'cause people are always leaving.
I get close to them,
I start to open up to them.
I start depending on them.
And then they just leave.
Maybe, it started with my dad
in my childhood. I don't know.
But
It has happened so many times,
that I'm now used to it.
So, now, when someone stays,
I get freaked out.
And I feel like I'll get attached
and they'll also leave me.
So I started pushing people away.
No one gets close, no one gets hurt.
And before someone leaves me,
I leave them.
But lately, I've been thinking that
"What's the use of living such a life?"
I don't want to live in fear.
And what's the worst that could happen?
I'll be alone again.
Sure, I can handle that.
But what I can't handle
is this running around in fear anymore.
But then, I realized that if things
have to change, then I have to change.
I have to stay.
And
I want to stay with you.
Look, of course, it doesn't mean
that you have to stay with me.
I can't force you. And it's okay.
It happens. It does.
I guess you're busy. So
It's cool, I'll
My problem is quite the opposite.
I just don't leave only.
What?
I cancelled my flight ticket.
What is it?
-PQ.
-PQ?
I'll tell you later.
Sorry.
Your father?
Can I take this?
I think you must.
Good timing.
-Dad?
-Hi, Masaba.
Hi.
