0:16Oh, and another thing,
0:18you keep tabs on me, don't you?
0:20No, I...
0:21Oh no, no, it's a good thing.
0:25It's a very good thing, Noor.
0:26It's great for a wife like you to keep an eye on a husband like me.
0:34That's the problem with traditional wives like you.
0:37You won't even let your husbands breathe.
0:41Right, you want to go tell Mom, don't you?
0:44Go on then, go!
0:45Go and tell Mom! Go!
0:55Look,
0:59I did go to see Arooshma,
1:04and not just for tonight,
1:08from now on I'll spend every single night with her.
1:13Every day of mine will be hers only,
1:15and there's absolutely nothing you can do about it.
1:24Why don't you get it?
1:28I love Arooshma,
1:32and I'm going to marry her, come what may.
1:37Whether you can handle it or not.
1:45Do you understand?
1:49Oh, bloody hell.
1:51You've completely ruined my mood.
1:54Do you have any idea what you've done?
1:57You turn a perfectly happy and decent man into this,
2:02and then you start with the tears.
2:08What's this?
2:10What on earth are you wearing?
2:11What is this you're wearing?
2:12Are you crazy, you clown?
2:19Well, have a good night.
3:58Man, are you crazy, or do you just do this on purpose?
4:01I mean, did you really think I’d be scared just
4:05because you found out I was with Arooshma?
4:11I couldn’t care less.
4:14Salar doesn’t love me at all.
4:33Ever since you set foot in this house,
4:35I haven't wanted to come home at all.
4:40From now on,
4:42if you ever insist on going out with me in front of Mom,
4:45things will not end well for you.
4:46Not even if she asks.
4:48And if you still insist on coming,
4:51then what happened today will happen again.
4:53You'll be left wandering the streets alone.
5:30Oh God.
5:35Farah, what are you doing, dear?
5:37Work carefully.
5:39I can't do all this!
5:41I won't do any of it, Mom!
5:44You won't?
5:46If you don't do it, then who will?
5:50What possessed you to do this?
5:52I mean, who told you to bring us both to this tiny house in Hyderabad?
6:00Where else would we have gone?
6:02Mom.
6:03We were perfectly fine back in our home in Karachi.
6:06At least we didn't have to deal with all this drudgery.
6:09You two would have had to work there as well.
6:15Poor Noor used to do all the chores by herself before,
6:22and now she's at Sister's house.
6:27I see, Mom.
6:29You seem to have a lot of sympathy for your stepdaughter, don't you?
6:33It's not sympathy.
6:35I'm just stating the facts.
6:37Then don't state the facts! Just be quiet.
6:39She's right, Mom.
6:41Look at the state we're in by living in this shack!
6:44It's not easy living here.
6:46We can't stay.
6:47Well, you'll have to get used to it.
6:50Why should we get used to it?
6:51Because I'm not, Mom!
6:54I can't do this!
6:55I'm not doing another chore!
6:56Take us back to Karachi. I mean it!
7:01How are we supposed to live there?
7:06Your dad isn't around anymore.
7:14I have two grown daughters to look after.
7:16I can't live there all by myself.
7:20At least here, in my brother's home, we're safe.
7:24Safe?
7:26Can't you see
7:27how your sister-in-law works us to the bone?
7:32It's like we're just the hired help around here.
7:35Keep your voice down.
7:36Absolutely!
7:37You're absolutely right, Farah!
7:39Mom, the way Aunt treats us is awful.
7:42She makes us do so much work.
7:44If we're going to live here,
7:45you'll obviously have to take care of chores, dear.
7:49This is my brother and sister-in-law's house,
7:53so we have to live by Sister-in-law's rules.
7:59You can stay here.
8:01I'm not! I'm telling you,
8:04and that's final, Mom.
8:07So, get this straight.
8:09Don't you expect me
8:12to stay in this house and slave away like a servant?
8:15Keep your voice down!
8:18Why are you trying to get us into hot water?
8:22If she hears you, Sister-in-law will throw us out of here.
8:25So let her hear!
8:27At least then we'll be free of this place.
8:33Honestly, Mom,
8:34between you and me,
8:35she's absolutely right.
8:38It was only yesterday that Noor was doing all these chores
8:42to keep you and us happy,
8:46and look how far we've fallen.
8:48Now we're the ones doing all this just to please Aunt.
8:53Listen to me!
8:55Why are you two so obsessed with Noor?
8:58It was probably her fate to live like a servant.
9:02I'm not doing it!
9:04I want to go back, and I will, no matter what!
9:09Are you out of your mind?
9:11You think I'm going to let you go all the way to Karachi by yourself?
9:14What's the big deal if I go alone, Mom?
9:17Noor lives there, doesn't she?
9:19We're her nieces, aren't we?
9:21What's her problem with us?
9:23Hey, listen to me,
9:24why do you keep bringing up Aunt?
9:27You know exactly what's going on. You're just playing dumb.
9:31Noor is now married to Brother Salar,
9:34and listen up,
9:36you don't stand a chance anymore.
9:38Forget about him.
9:45And why wouldn't I have a chance?
9:48It was just the wedding ceremony.
9:50She hasn't started formally living as his wife yet,
9:53and even if she had,
9:55I would've made sure they got a divorce.
9:58The two of you have no idea who I am.
10:02Mom.
10:04Listen to me,
10:06it's not as easy as you think.
10:10It's not that difficult either.
10:12Mom, listen to me.
10:15You'd better start making up your mind to send me to Aunt's house.
10:19Otherwise, I'll just run away.
10:22I’m definitely going to Karachi.
10:24You know me, Mom.
10:26When I say something, I do it,
10:31and I am definitely going to Karachi.
10:36Then you'll see,
10:38Farah is going to be flying free while
10:41you all just sit there and watch.
10:43Mom, whether you send me or not, I'm going.
10:48Has she lost her mind?
10:51What am I going to do with this girl?
10:54Mom, you're the one who poisoned us against Noor,
11:02so why are you so worried about its outcome now?
11:06You made your bed, now you have to lie in it.
11:30Study hard,
11:32and if you need anything at all,
11:34just let me know, okay?
11:36Thank you, Uncle. I'll definitely let you know.
11:39Dad, let's be honest,
11:42our Noor went to government schools and colleges.
11:46To expect her to go to such a high-end university
11:50and pass everything, well, that's a long shot.
11:52I doubt she'll even clear the first semester.
11:54Salar, behave.
12:00If you don't have anything nice to say,
12:02don't say anything at all.
12:05My daughter is very intelligent.
12:06Just you watch, she'll graduate from this very university.
12:11I was only joking.
12:13You guys are taking it way too seriously.
12:17Are you dropping her off?
12:19Pardon me?
12:19Of course, he will.
12:22Her university is on his way to work,
12:25and the driver can pick Noor up on her way back.
12:28Look, this is just way too much now.
12:34You're always telling me how irresponsible I am,
12:38so I can't take on such a huge responsibility.
12:41Please, forgive me. I'm really sorry.
12:43Noor is your responsibility because she is your wife.
12:46Correction.
12:48Noor is my wife, and we are married.
12:51But Dad, until we formally start our life together,
12:54I’m not ready to take on this responsibility.
13:00Anyways,
13:01I'm done with breakfast.
13:03Thank you so much. Bye.
13:06Bye.
13:14Noor.
13:17Dear, don't be upset.
13:19I’ll drop you off today.
13:23Yeah,
13:23the driver can pick you up, dear. It won't be an issue.
13:55Hey, you?
13:58Yeah, it's me.
14:00So, did you get in?
14:02Yep.
14:04I knew you'd end up in my class.
14:07Um, so, what do you say? Want to be friends?
14:11Friends?
14:13Why? Is that a problem?
14:16No, it's not a problem at all.
14:17So why the hesitation?
14:19Well, it's just that I don't make friends with just anyone.
14:23But why?
14:24That's just how I've always been.
14:29Do you make friends with everyone you meet?
14:31I do!
14:32If I like someone, I become friends with them right away,
14:34and I got a really good vibe from you.
14:36-Thank you. -Come on.
14:45What's wrong? You look a little overwhelmed.
14:48I'm just not used to this kind of environment.
14:51What kind of environment?
14:52You know,
14:53guys and girls mingling like this.
14:56Oh, that's completely normal here.
14:58I'm guessing you didn't go to a co-ed school before, right?
15:02That's right.
15:03I've always been in all-girls schools and colleges,
15:06so this all feels a bit strange to me.
15:09Don't worry,
15:10you'll get used to it.
15:12How can you be so sure?
15:15Because you're friends with me now.
15:17Stick with me, and you'll get the hang of it.
15:20Shall we?
15:21So, tell me about your family.
15:23I mean, what's your family background?
15:26Look, it's a personal question,
15:28so if you'd rather not say, that's totally fine.
15:30There's nothing to hide.
15:34My mom passed away when I was just a baby,
15:36and my dad passed away a few days ago.
15:39I'm so sorry.
15:41I had no idea my question would upset you.
15:46There's no point in running from reality.
15:50So who's in your family now?
15:52I mean, who do you live with?
15:54While my dad was alive, I lived with my mom.
15:58Mom?
15:59You mean your stepmother?
16:02Then you must have half-siblings too.
16:05I have two sisters, but they've moved to Hyderabad.
16:09So, who do you live with?
16:11With my aunt.
16:13What? Your aunt?
16:15Oh boy, aunts can be a real handful!
16:17They're never happy with their nieces or nephews.
16:20No, it's not like that. My aunt is a very good person.
16:23Yeah, right.
16:23No matter how nice they seem,
16:24they always duck out when it comes to wedding duties and expenses.
16:28Actually, she's not just my aunt.
16:32She's my mother-in-law as well.
16:33What? Are you married?
16:36We’re officially married,
16:37but we haven’t started our life as a couple yet.
16:39Oh wow, congratulations!
16:41Well, you definitely owe me a treat!
16:45Let's go.
16:54How was your first day at university?
16:56It was great, Uncle.
16:58My daughter had a wonderful day.
17:00You know, your daughter-in-law even made a friend at university.
17:03-A girl named Aliya. -Okay, I'll call you back.
17:05That's good. It'll help her settle in more easily.
17:09It certainly will.
17:10You have Aliya to thank for that. She's such a lovely girl.
17:14I was so worried on admissions day,
17:16but she was a huge help.
17:20Why's that?
17:20Why were you worried?
17:22Salar was with you, wasn't he?
17:25Salar, you didn't help her?
17:29I did help.
17:29Noor, tell her. Didn't I help you?
17:32Yes, of course. Salar helped me, too.
17:34But Aliya knew her way around
17:37and was already familiar with the department.
17:41-Oh, I see. -The tea isn't here yet?
17:43-I'll go get it. -Let it be, dear. She'll bring it.
17:46But I enjoy doing it. I'll get it.
17:51Sajda did a fine job raising her.
17:54Please, let's not give Sajda any credit.
17:56If she'd been the one to raise her,
17:58Farah and Mehwish would've had the same manners.
18:01Noor is her mother's daughter, through and through.
18:03Just like Sania.
18:05Sajda put absolutely no effort into raising her.
18:09The only time she ever called on Noor was to get chores done.
18:13Oh.
18:17Oh, look, the tea's here.
18:20Here's your tea.
18:22Thank you, dear.
18:28May you live a long and happy life, dear.
18:34Here's your tea.
18:36You brought this for me?
18:38How sweet.
18:42What are you doing?
18:47What's wrong with you?
18:48If you don't even know how to do this,
18:49then why are you bothering?
18:50Hey, what happened?
18:53-Sweetie, did you get badly hurt? -No.
18:55Mom, my hand got burned.
18:56How about some concern for me? I'm your son, after all.
18:59And if she doesn't know how to work,
19:00then why is she doing all of this?
19:02What's the need for all this drama?
19:03Darling, she does it out of love.
19:05Out of love? Yeah, right! She burned my hand
19:07and completely ruined my suit. Look at this.
19:09Dad.
19:10Dad, you tell me.
19:11If this girl insists on doing chores,
19:14we have plenty of servants in the house.
19:15Couldn't she at least get some training from them?
19:16Learn the right way to do things? Is this how it's done?
19:19Son, watch your tone!
19:21I'm so sorry, Mom.
19:23My hand got burned, so I think I just overreacted,
19:26but this isn't right.
19:27Please, you guys just need to explain things to her.
19:30I'll apologize to her, too, Dad.
19:32I have a meeting. I'm leaving.
19:34Goodbye.
19:37Goodbye.
19:40How rude!
19:42Did you see that?
19:44The way he's talking to her?
19:47I didn't like it one bit.
19:50He only went through with this marriage because you were so insistent,
19:55but I don't think he's happy with it.
19:59No, no.
20:01Just a few days ago,
20:03they were both so happy coming back from that party.
20:07Something has definitely happened between them,
20:10and it's because of Salar.
20:13I know Noor well.
20:15She'd never say or do anything to upset him.
20:18There's no question that your choice of a girl for him is wonderful.
20:23I just hope that we haven't unintentionally wronged our son in the process.
20:30Please, Murtaza.
20:32Now you're scaring me.
20:36No, no, it's nothing like that.
20:39You need to talk to Salar.
20:41Noor is a very good girl.
20:43He needs to value her.
20:44He couldn't have found a better wife.
20:47I'll talk to him, but we should give him some time.
20:50We can't have it seem like we're forcing our wishes on him again.
20:53Please, you have to talk to Salar.
20:57Oh, speaking of which, isn't it his birthday tomorrow?
20:59Have you planned anything?
21:01Oh, I completely forgot.
21:04You should've reminded me since you remembered.
21:06We could've organized a party or something.
21:09We're always having parties.
21:12Besides, Salar's the one who's gone quiet this time.
21:14He's usually the one drumming up the excitement.
21:17It looks like he's even forgotten his own birthday.
21:20In that case, we'll celebrate at home.
21:26We'll have to do something special.
21:29Hmm.
22:22Okay, you go rest, alright?
22:24I’ll take care of everything else.
22:33Wow, the cake is ready!
22:38When Salar finds out you baked his birthday cake with your own hands,
22:43he’ll be over the moon.
22:45Let’s just pray it turns out good and that he likes it.
22:49Of course, he will.
22:50When you’ve put so much sincerity, effort, and love into it,
22:54he’s bound to like it.
22:57You know, Noor,
22:58when a wife puts her husband’s happiness first,
23:01with all her love and respect,
23:03a man will always give her double that in return.
23:09Oh, my sweet child.
23:10I just pray that you both always stay happy.
23:13Amen.
23:16Oh, and this time, I won’t be the first to wish him, you will be.
23:23-Understood? -Of course.
23:25Now, go on and make it.
23:26Did you get the candles?
23:27Yes, I already got them.
23:29Good.
23:32Happy birthday to you.
23:35Happy birthday to you.
23:38Happy birthday, happy birthday,
23:41happy birthday to you!
23:48Oh, thank you. Thank you so much.
23:53You know,
23:56you’re the first one who wished me.
23:59You’re spending the whole day with me tomorrow.
24:02Of course, baby.
24:04I’ll be with you all day. Who else would I be with?
24:14Who is it?
24:17Who’s there?
24:23I baked this cake for you.
24:27I came to give it to you.
24:29Who is it?
24:30It’s no one.
24:33If I showed you, you’d just get upset too.
24:37Show me.
24:39Who is it?
24:41Why is she in your room this late at night?
24:46I know you two are married,
24:47but that doesn’t mean
24:49she can just waltz into your room whenever she pleases.
24:55Arooshma. Arooshma, that’s not fair.
24:56Mom must have sent her.
24:58It’s not my fault.
25:00She just wants to celebrate my birthday with me.
25:02How is that my fault?
25:05Oh, I see exactly what she’s trying to do.
25:08She thinks she can win a place in your heart with these little acts.
25:14But you listen to me very carefully, Salar.
25:18I won’t let that happen, not while I’m breathing.
25:24Got it?
25:27Great.
25:28Then everything’s settled, right?
25:30So, do something for me.
25:33Prove it to me, right now,
25:35that you have no interest in spending time with her.
25:38Arooshma.
25:40Arooshma, don’t you hang up on me.
25:42Arooshma? Hello?
26:13Did you bake this?
26:14Yes.
26:15By yourself?
26:17For me?
26:20She's crazy.
26:22She gets upset over nothing.
26:26Come on in.
26:27Come on, let's cut the cake.
26:29Look, I've left the door wide open. I won't close it. Okay?
26:33You baked this cake with so much love.
26:36We have to cut it. Come here.
26:41What flavor is it?
26:43-Chocolate. -Chocolate.
26:45Do you like chocolate?
26:50So sweet.
26:52It's a beautiful cake.
26:56One second.
27:05You know,
27:07these candles,
27:11sometimes they're just like people.
27:17Most of them light up right away,
27:20but some take a little longer to ignite.
27:26Like this one on your side.
27:29See? It won't light.
27:31There we go. It's lit.
27:37Shall I cut it?
27:42Aren't you going to wish me?
27:44Happy birthday.
27:45Thank you.
27:47Happy birthday to me.
27:52Happy birthday to me.
27:57Happy birthday, King Salar.
28:03Happy birthday to me.
28:18No.
28:25Hey, don't move your face.
28:32Let's turn this into a smile.
28:46All set.
28:48Just one thing left.
28:55A stunning shot of our leading lady tonight, Noor.
29:05Don't worry. I'm shooting in portrait mode.
29:08Smile.
29:11Are you serious?
29:13I'm trying to take your picture,
29:15and you're bursting into tears? What are you even crying about?
29:19Arooshma?
29:20Baby, you wanted proof, didn't you?
29:22Just take a look at these pictures.
29:25Noor and I celebrated our first birthday as a married couple.
29:33I put her in her place
29:36and threw her right out of the room.
30:47I put her in her place
30:51and threw her right out of the room.
31:48Noor?
31:51Where are you off to, dear?
31:52To the university, Aunt.
31:56What's the matter?
31:57You look exhausted.
31:59Didn't you get any sleep last night?
32:00I was, uh,
32:02I was up all night studying.
32:04You never told me. How did the surprise go?
32:07What surprise are we talking about?
32:11Noor baked a cake for Salar.
32:16A cake?
32:18Noor, you didn't tell her, did you?
32:26Don't worry, I'll fill her in.
32:28Noor baked a fantastic cake, Mom.
32:30It was so delicious,
32:32I fed her a piece with my own two hands. Right, Noor?
32:35Aunt, I have to go. I'm heading to the university.
32:37But dear, at least have some breakfast.
32:40I'll grab a bite there, I'm running late.
32:42I will, I promise.
32:44Hey, make sure you eat something!
32:46She always skips her meals.
32:48-Salar. -Yes?
32:51You didn't say anything to upset her, did you?
32:53She looked completely devastated.
32:56Mom, that's so unfair.
32:59You know, when it comes to your niece,
33:01you always make me out to be the bad guy.
33:03Dad, you could stick up for me for once.
33:06She acts as if I'm some kind of villain who's out to get her niece.
33:08Like, I'm the one creating problems for her.
33:12I think you should stop hounding him about every little thing.
33:15He just needs some time.
33:18Please, have breakfast served.
33:20They both left without having breakfast.
33:30Why are your eyes so puffy?
33:32No, they aren't.
33:36It looks like you were up all night crying.
33:39No, not at all. Why would I be crying?
33:41It's obvious your eyes are swollen.
33:43Either you cried all night, or you didn't sleep a wink.
33:46You're right about the second part.
33:48I was awake.
33:49Everyone was chatting, so I joined them.
33:52Were you chatting with everyone, or just with Salar?
33:56You are his wife, after all. He has every right.
33:59I’m sure he dotes on you.
34:01I mean, he is madly in love with you.
34:09Hey, what happened? You’re miles away.
34:14Okay, my brother’s here, I’ve got to go.
34:16How are you getting home?
34:17Oh, my driver should be here any minute.
34:19I’ll wait.
34:21One of these days, you should ask Salar to pick you up.
34:24That way I could finally meet him, too.
34:25I want to see for myself if my cute friend’s husband
34:28is actually handsome or just all talk.
34:29I’ll make sure you two meet.
34:31Okay, sounds good. Bye.
34:43Hello?
34:45Hello?
34:46Hello?
34:48The reception here is awful.
34:53Hello?
34:54Hello?
34:56Yes, yes, I can hear you. Go on.
34:58Come down. I’m waiting for you.
35:00Sorry, the lecture ran a little late. I’m coming right now.
35:03Oh, wait, I left my notes. One second, Brother.
35:05Just hurry up.
35:26All good?
35:48Hello?
35:50Hello?
35:51Salar, how are you?
35:54Why are you calling me? Just get to the point.
35:58I was just missing you.
36:01Oh, for heaven’s sake.
36:03You miss me a lot, don’t you?
36:05Tell me why you called. I don’t have time for this.
36:08You have no idea.
36:11I can’t stop thinking about you.
36:15Don’t you three sisters have anything better to do than pester me?
36:19I’m standing here at the university to pick up one of your sisters,
36:23and here you are, harassing me with calls.
36:25Please don’t compare me to Noor.
36:28It’s not my fault I’ve fallen for you.
36:30The heart wants what it wants.
36:33You’re just forcing yourself on me.
36:36This is what you call being pushy, Farah.
36:38This is harassment, you know that?
36:40Anyway, Mom is calling me. Hang up now.
36:43Wait…
36:50I don’t know what she’s done there
36:53to make Salar think I’m just like her.
36:56Yes, Mom. I’ve been outside the university for a while now.
36:59I couldn’t get a hold of Noor,
37:01so I came inside to find her, but she’s not here either.
37:04Mom, I…
37:05No, Mom, I wasn’t late. I’m at her university.
37:08I can’t find Noor anywhere. What should I do?
37:11I can’t just go around looking for her in classrooms, can I?
37:15Alright, I’ll go look for her.
37:19Yes.
37:20Don’t worry, I’ll bring her home.
37:21Goodbye.
37:27Oh, I won’t spare her. Excuse me.
37:29Hi.
37:31Salar. Salar Murtaza.
37:34I must say, you have beautiful eyes.
37:37Bye.
