0:26Alright, get out of the car now.
0:28Mom said I need to take you shopping.
0:31I'm going to see Arooshma.
0:33You can finish your shopping by the time I get back.
0:35But I don't know how to do this all by myself.
0:40What? Do you think I'm your tutor?
0:43Have you hired me for some sort of training?
0:47Ridiculous.
0:48What an ignorant girl.
0:50Look, I can't deal with this right now.
0:52I'm late. Get out. Come on.
0:55But I don't even need to buy anything.
0:57But I need to meet Arooshma,
0:59and that's a bit more important, right?
1:01I need to meet her and convince her
1:03that this marriage was forced on me, and I'll be leaving you very soon.
1:07Now, please don't waste my time and get out of the car.
1:10If I have to wait anyway, Salar, I can just wait in the car.
1:13Then where is Arooshma supposed to sit?
1:15On my head?
1:17Or should I hide her under the seat?
1:19Wait here. Now, go.
1:33Let me make one thing perfectly clear.
1:39Don't call me.
1:41If it's something really important, send me a message.
1:43Oh,
1:44and if you dare call Mom and tell her
1:48I left you here,
1:50it won't end well for you.
1:52I won't tell her.
1:54But Salar, at least listen to me...
2:09I'm almost there.
2:10Yeah, it'll take half an hour, tops.
2:12Yeah, yeah. No, no, don't worry, don't worry.
2:17That's why I came straight to the bank myself.
2:19No, if the client says they've transferred the payment,
2:21then it should be reflected in our account.
2:24I'm here. I'll check on it myself.
2:25Salar, could you please guide me on how to use this card?
2:27If it shows up on the...
2:29Sorry. Sorry.
2:33You?
2:36Sorry, I left in such a hurry the other day that I forgot to thank you.
2:40You have no idea how much trouble I'd have been in if you hadn't been there.
2:44Relax, it's okay.
2:46So, you're here all by yourself again?
2:50I have to say, it seems like your family isn't too concerned about you.
2:54Maybe you should tell them to take better care of you.
3:17Who was that?
3:19-I don't know. -You don't know?
3:22Funny, because you were laughing and smiling with him just fine.
3:24It's alright. Come on, tell me who he was.
3:26Are you doubting me?
3:28I'm not doubting you, I'm certain of it.
3:31I'm sure you knew him.
3:33The fact that you're hiding it is another matter entirely,
3:37and I'm also certain that you're not as naive as you look.
3:43You're just putting on an act,
3:45and I'll expose your little charade soon enough.
3:47Meanwhile, do me a favor.
3:51Here, take this money and go home.
3:53I came because I was worried about you.
3:56I thought you wouldn't know how to use the card,
3:59so I brought you some cash instead.
4:00But when I got here, I found a completely different scene playing out.
4:02-Pardon? -Yes.
4:05Go home now.
4:06Because if you just stand here, it'll be a weight on my mind,
4:08and I'll have to come all the way back just to fetch you.
4:10But Salar, I don't know the way from here.
4:12You have a phone, right?
4:14Don't you?
4:15It has Google Maps.
4:17Just put in your home address,
4:18and an auto-rickshaw driver will take you.
4:19Now, don't waste any more of my time.
4:20But what will I tell Aunt when she asks?
4:23If she asks, tell her I dropped you off right at the gate.
4:28Say that I had an important meeting I couldn't possibly miss, alright?
4:31Don't you dare mention that you came home alone.
4:34Not a word about Arooshma either. Understood?
4:37Good girl.
4:38Now go. Bye.
5:03That would be all.
5:05-Thank you. -Thank you.
5:11Arooshma, how else can I convince you?
5:14How do I make you understand that this was a forced marriage?
5:18I had absolutely no say in it.
5:24If it's a forced marriage,
5:25then what is she still doing in your home?
5:28This all happened because of Mom.
5:31She's the one who insisted I get her into university
5:35and that I had to be the one to take her.
5:37You called me just once, and I left her standing right there.
5:42She means nothing to me.
5:45She means nothing?
5:47Then why is she still in your house as your wife?
5:51I don't understand, Salar.
5:53When are you finally going to leave her?
5:54I will, okay?
5:56Just give me some time.
5:58We literally just got married.
6:03I don't get Auntie.
6:08She forced you to marry someone?
6:11She literally forced you.
6:13Who even does that these days?
6:15I can't believe it either.
6:19I never thought my mom would blackmail me
6:21into doing something like this.
6:24Do you really think she'll accept our relationship after her own niece's divorce?
6:29She'll have to.
6:33If she's my mom, then I'm her son.
6:37She knows better than anyone
6:41that when I set my mind to something,
6:45I see it through.
6:46And let me tell you something else.
6:49The same girl whose misfortune my mom used to ruin my life,
6:54she'll be the one to convince her to accept our marriage.
6:58But how's that even possible?
7:07Just trust me, Arooshma.
7:11I promise you,
7:16everything will be fine.
7:20Please, just give me a little more time.
8:14Where are we going?
8:18What are you looking at?
8:20Keep your eyes on the road.
8:22When there's a girl as beautiful as you right in front of me,
8:24why would I look at the road?
8:29Stop the auto-rickshaw!
8:30I said, stop this auto-rickshaw!
8:32Just sit quietly! I told you,
8:34who do you think is going to help you in a moving auto-rickshaw?
8:37No one helps anyone in this city.
8:39People get robbed at gunpoint,
8:41and girls get kidnapped here,
8:43but no one bats an eye.
8:45I said stop this auto-rickshaw right now!
8:47Stop it, or I'm jumping out!
8:49-Hey, don't you dare create a scene! -Is anyone there?
8:50-Somebody help! Help me! -Shut your mouth, and sit back down.
8:53-Please, help! -Shut up!
8:54Somebody, please!
9:00Get out!
9:01Get out now!
9:02Get out of the auto-rickshaw!
9:04How dare you?
9:05You think you can just harass a woman like that?
9:06You scoundrel, how dare you harass a woman!
9:07I'll kill you!
9:09Stay right there! I'll show you what happens to scoundrels like you!
9:10Don't move!
9:17If he had died, you would have been hanged for it!
9:20Oh, he could have died,
9:22and I would have been hanged for it?
9:23And you? What about you?
9:25If you can't handle yourself out here alone,
9:28then why did you leave the house in the first place?
9:30I didn't leave alone, he...
9:32What about him?
9:33Did you just get off the bus from some village?
9:34-Are you completely illiterate? -No.
9:36You're certainly acting like it!
9:38I wasn't alone.
9:40I needed to go to Clifton, but I just didn't know the way.
9:42Clifton is a huge place!
9:43Where exactly?
9:44Do you have an address, a street number,
9:45or a block? Anything?
9:50Fine.
9:51Call home.
9:52Call your family and find out where you're supposed to be going.
10:01Oh, my phone.
10:04Salar, I'm sending you my location.
10:06Please come pick me up.
10:07This auto-rickshaw driver just dropped me off in the middle of nowhere.
10:09I'm sending it now.
10:10Why the voice note?
10:12Are you scared of calling for some reason?
10:13Then what's the matter?
10:15Never mind. Just get the location on WhatsApp,
10:19and I'll drop you off.
10:21No, it's alright. You can go. I'll figure it out. It's fine.
10:24Look, you need to understand the situation.
10:26If another creep like that comes along,
10:27I won't be here to save you next time.
10:29Now, use your head and come on.
10:32I can't just trust you either.
10:33What if you turn out to be just like him?
10:35What?
10:36I just saved your life, and this is the thanks I get?
10:39Are you out of your mind?
10:41Get in the car!
10:43Let go of my hand!
10:45I'm not going anywhere with you.
10:47Forgive me if I offend you,
10:49but a fancy car and nice clothes don't automatically make someone a good person.
10:53Are you insane?
10:55I'm trying to help you, to make sure you get home safely,
10:59and you're giving me this attitude?
11:02You can't tell just by looking at someone
11:04if they're a gentleman or a lowlife...
11:06Quiet!
11:08That's enough.
11:11If you weren't a woman...
11:16You know what? You don't even deserve to be helped.
11:19Stand here and rot for all I care!
11:42Look, just wait here until her family gets here to pick her up. Got it?
11:44Got it.
11:45-Alright? -Of course.
12:22Salar!
12:23Yes, I'm coming!
12:25I'm coming to you, just stay put!
12:26Please hurry!
12:28Hello, guys.
12:30Hi.
12:31Salar.
12:32Noor, what's going on here?
12:33Why are these gunmen standing around you?
12:34That auto-rickshaw driver was harassing me,
12:37and then these guys just appeared out of nowhere to protect me.
12:39I see.
12:40Okay then.
12:42Alright, let's go. Come on, let's go.
12:43The car is over there. Come on now.
12:46You walk ahead, and I'll support you from behind.
12:49Watch your step, watch your step.
12:50I've got you. I'm holding you tight.
12:52I'm supporting you, see? Be careful as you walk.
12:55Bye. Thank you.
12:57What's wrong with you?
12:58Can't you stop making a scene on the streets?
13:02I've twisted my ankle.
13:03Right, I see.
13:05Come on, keep walking.
13:06Let's go, hurry up and get in the car.
13:10Just get in the car fast.
13:16Just get in already!
13:32Don't move!
13:35If he had died,
13:36you would have been hanged for it!
13:37Come with me.
13:38Forgive me if I offend you,
13:40but a fancy car and nice clothes don't automatically make someone a good person.
13:46I'm trying to help you,
13:48and you're giving me this attitude?
13:50You can't tell just by looking at someone
13:52if they're a gentleman or a lowlife...
13:54Quiet!
14:15Are you insane?
14:25Come on, get out. Go.
14:39Wait.
14:44What's your problem now?
14:45Why are you stopping me?
14:46Why don't you go inside?
14:48Aren't you coming in with me?
14:50No.
14:52Ever since you set foot in this house,
14:54I've had absolutely no desire to enter it.
14:57What am I supposed to tell Aunt about where you are?
15:00I don't care.
15:02Tell her whatever you want.
15:03Now go inside and stop pestering me.
15:06Okay.
15:09Hey, listen.
15:14Come close.
15:18From now on,
15:21if you ever insist on going out with me in front of Mom,
15:24things will not end well for you.
15:25Not even if she asks.
15:28And if you still insist on coming,
15:31then what happened today will happen again.
15:34You'll be left wandering the streets alone.
15:43Go now.
15:46Go!
16:01Slacker.
16:03I'll be back to deal with you, you fool.
16:17Madam.
16:20Are you okay? What happened?
16:22Nothing. I think I just sprained my ankle.
16:32Why are you limping?
16:34I'll go and tell Elder Madam right away.
16:35No, no.
16:36Just take this.
16:39There's no need to tell her, just help me to my room, alright?
16:52Careful now.
16:59Just leave this here.
17:01Okay, you can go now.
17:12Please, help!
17:13You think you can just harass a woman like that?
17:14You scoundrel, how dare you harass a woman!
17:15I’ll show you what happens to scoundrels like you!
17:17Don't move!
17:27Let go of my hand!
17:28I'm not going anywhere with you.
17:30You can't tell just by looking at someone
17:33if they're a gentleman or a lowlife...
17:35Quiet!
17:37You don't even deserve to be helped.
17:40Stand here and rot for all I care!
18:30Aunt,
18:31I've loaded the luggage in the car.
18:33Should we go?
18:34You go on, son, we're coming.
18:35-Alright. -Wait in the car, please.
18:37Okay.
18:42Farah.
18:44Get up, dear.
18:45Come on, let's go.
18:47Mom, are we just going to go and rot in that tiny house in Hyderabad?
18:52While Noor gets to live a life of luxury as Salar's wife in his grand palace?
19:02How is that fair, Mom?
19:07I tried my best, dear.
19:11What else could I do?
19:15It turns out Noor has all the luck.
19:19You know
19:22Salar didn't even want this marriage, right?
19:25You're right, the poor boy didn't.
19:29What could he do?
19:32Sister has him wrapped around her little finger.
19:35He had to obey his mother and go through with it.
19:42And now,
19:45they'll have a lavish ceremony to celebrate it.
19:49You have to accept the fact that Noor is Salar's wife now.
19:56I will never accept this,
19:58and I won't let anyone else either.
20:01If I don't make Noor's life a living hell,
20:04then my name isn't Farah.
21:07Noor, what's the matter? You seem very tired, dear.
21:11Greetings, Aunt.
21:13Greetings.
21:14I don't know how I dozed off.
21:18How's university going?
21:21Aunt,
21:23I don't think I can study here.
21:30Why, dear?
21:31Why do you feel that way?
21:34The people there are so strange.
21:39The whole atmosphere is odd.
21:44I don't think I'll be able to fit in.
21:47You create the atmosphere by mingling with people.
21:51Once you’re part of it, you’ll settle in.
21:56Besides, it's no big deal.
21:58You're there to focus on your education, so that's all that matters.
22:02I have no doubt
22:04you'll make a name for yourself as an excellent student in no time.
22:11I'll try my best not to disappoint you.
22:15I know you won't.
22:17Anyway, where's Salar?
22:21Salar just dropped me off outside and left.
22:25Alright then.
22:26Come on, I was waiting for you for lunch.
22:29Come and join me, love.
22:31Of course.
22:32Shakeela!
22:34Shakeela, please serve lunch.
22:36What happened?
22:38Nothing, Aunt,
22:39I just twisted my ankle on the stairs.
22:42You need to be more careful, dear.
22:44Come on, let's eat.
22:47Good heavens, what happened?
22:49Dear, I hope it isn't a fracture.
22:51Oh, no, Aunt, look.
22:52It's not a fracture, just a minor sprain.
22:55You call this minor?
22:56You can barely walk.
22:57We're going to the doctor. Shakeela!
22:59No, please, Aunt, there's no need for a doctor.
23:01It'll be fine on its own. It's nothing.
23:03How will it be fine on its own?
23:06You need to apply something, and get it checked by a doctor.
23:07Shakeela!
23:10Shakeela!
23:17Is the water too hot?
23:19No, it's fine.
23:21Gently now.
23:23Don't touch the sprain.
23:26Here.
23:27Apply this cream.
23:29Alright.
23:29Make sure to put on a bandage once it's absorbed,
23:30but don't make it too tight.
23:31Understood.
23:32You should take this medicine, dear.
23:34It'll ease the pain, alright?
23:39You love me very much, don't you, Aunt?
23:45You mean the world to me, dear.
23:49You're so precious to me.
23:51How could I not love you?
23:55I was just asking.
23:58I just wanted to hear you say it.
24:02I loved Ahmed so much,
24:05ever since we were children.
24:09I didn't like it when anyone even touched him.
24:13I would always say he is my brother.
24:16No one should lay a hand on him.
24:20Then, we both got married.
24:23I brought your mother,
24:25Sania, into our home as his bride.
24:30Ahmed was so happy,
24:33but then our happiness was jinxed,
24:41and your mother left you behind and went very far away from us.
24:50Now look...
24:59Ahmed is gone, too,
25:03and your loneliness has filled my heart with so much love for you.
25:11As much as I had for Ahmed,
25:16or maybe even more.
25:19You've become so dear to me.
25:21You're my everything now.
25:26I thought long and hard before bringing you into Salar's life.
25:33He's a little stubborn
25:37and quite spoiled,
25:41but I have complete faith
25:44that with you by his side,
25:48he'll come around again
25:53because you're so wise and patient.
25:59You know how to nurture relationships.
26:03You won't let me down, will you?
26:07You're the one who will look after my son and my family's legacy.
26:15My prayer for you is
26:19that you both find everlasting happiness.
26:25Of course.
26:48Hey,
26:49what are you doing coming up the stairs?
26:51If you needed something, you could have sent for Shakeela.
26:53Oh, Aunt, that's what I was coming to show you.
26:55Look, my foot is all better now.
26:58It doesn't even hurt when I walk anymore.
27:00You took such good care of me.
27:02Well, that's wonderful to hear.
27:04Speaking of which, look at you.
27:07Why are you wearing such dull clothes?
27:10Go on now, and get changed.
27:12You're a married woman now, with a husband in this house.
27:15You should try to dress up a little.
27:18But these clothes look fine.
27:20Do I not look good to you in them?
27:22They're not fine at all. Go and change.
27:25Why should I change? Are we going anywhere?
27:27Oh, you silly girl.
27:28My son won't like this color on you.
27:32I know him inside out.
27:34And what if I still don't look good, even after dressing up?
27:36That's impossible.
27:38My daughter is so beautiful.
27:40Besides, the girl I chose for my Salar,
27:43there's no way he wouldn't like her.
27:49What are you thinking?
27:53Aunt,
27:55I don't know why, but I feel like
27:58Salar and Arooshma should have been the ones to get married.
28:01Did Salar say something to you?
28:03No,
28:04he didn't say anything at all.
28:06Then why are you thinking about Arooshma?
28:09Well, she came to that party the other day,
28:14and I got the feeling that they liked each other.
28:18What if Salar marries her, too?
28:20What you're thinking will never happen.
28:24It was my wish to make you my daughter-in-law,
28:27and Salar can never go against my wishes.
28:32Now listen to me very carefully.
28:35A man can have a hundred affairs before he's married,
28:38but once he weds, he belongs only to his wife.
28:44So, go and get ready quickly.
28:47He'll be here soon.
28:48He'll be happy to see you.
28:52Go on now.
29:28Aunt is right.
29:30It doesn't take long for a man's heart to change.
30:52Oh, Noor, there you are.
30:54I was just looking for you inside.
30:57You look absolutely beautiful.
31:02Waiting for Salar, are you?
31:04Don't you worry, I'm sure he'll be home soon.
31:06Oh no, Aunt, I was just...
31:10I understand, dear.
31:12You've gotten all dressed up.
31:14I'm sure you're hoping
31:16he'll notice and tell you how lovely you look.
31:21It's nothing like that, Aunt.
31:24Well, even if your husband isn't here,
31:26your mother-in-law is, isn't she?
31:28My goodness, you look so lovely.
31:32When Salar finally gets here and sees you,
31:34he won't be able to take his eyes off you.
31:45What's wrong, Aunt? Is everything alright?
31:47The number you're trying to call is powered off.
31:50Oh, he’s a strange one.
31:51He texts me, and now when I try to call him,
31:54his phone is off.
31:57What did he say?
32:00It's nothing.
32:01He's with his friends.
32:03Apparently, one of them was in an accident.
32:06They're at the hospital.
32:08He said he's going to be late,
32:12but now when I call, his phone is switched off.
32:17It's alright, Aunt. I'm sure he'll be back.
32:19I just feel so bad for you.
32:22I know you were waiting for him.
32:25I was really hoping
32:27we could all have dinner together tonight when he got back.
32:32Aunt, dinner won't be for a little while.
32:34I'm sure he'll be back. Please don't upset yourself.
32:38Alright, come on. Let's go inside.
32:40There's no point waiting out here.
33:16Oh, Sweetheart,
33:18you've hardly touched your food.
33:20Eat something, please.
33:22No, Aunt. I'm full.
33:26You didn't like the food, did you?
33:29Alright, that's okay. You go to your room.
33:31I'll have Shakeela make you something else.
33:33Oh, no, please, Aunt.
33:34There's no need for that. I think I'm just going to go to bed.
33:37What did Salar say? Any idea when he'll be back?
33:41He messaged again.
33:43He said his friend's condition is very serious
33:47and that he's going to be late.
33:49Let's hope he'll be alright.
33:54Let's get these to the kitchen.
33:55Oh dear, leave all that.
33:56Shakeela will get it.
33:58Go on, you go get some rest.
34:01Alright, Aunt.
35:18Hello.
35:20Yeah, I just got home.
35:24What’s the matter? Why are you so worried?
35:26I’ve driven in this state a hundred times.
35:29Nothing’s going to happen to me.
35:33Alright, I’ll call you when I get to my room.
35:36Shall I serve dinner for you?
35:37I told you. I'll call you when I'm in my room.
35:39Salar, will you eat dinner?
35:40No, I already ate.
35:42Okay, tea or coffee then?
35:45Let me call you back.
35:48If you really want to do something for me,
35:50then please, stop nagging me right now.
35:53Besides, if I wanted tea, coffee, or anything else,
35:57there are servants in this house.
35:59I don’t need you to serve me.
36:01Go on, go to sleep.
36:03Why did you lie?
36:06Your friend wasn’t in an accident.
36:08You were with Arooshma.
36:11I saw her social media status.
36:22What?
36:25You knew?
36:31What are you saying?
36:36Are you serious?
36:40You know all of it? That I was with her and…
36:43Hey, listen. Listen to me, sit down.
36:46Please, just tell me you didn’t say anything to Mom, did you?
36:56What a relief.
37:00Thank you so much.
37:02Thank you so much, Noor.
37:07Man, are you crazy, or do you just do this on purpose?
37:12I mean, did you really think I’d be scared just
37:15because you found out I was with Arooshma?
37:19I couldn’t care less,
37:22and another thing,
37:23you keep tabs on me, don’t you?
37:26No, I…
37:27Oh no, no, it’s a good thing.
37:30It’s a very good thing, Noor.
37:32It’s great for a wife like you to keep an eye on a husband like me.
37:39That's the problem with traditional wives like you.
37:43You won't even let your husbands breathe.
37:47Right, you want to go tell Mom, don’t you?
37:49Go on then, go!
37:51Go and tell Mom! Go!
38:01Look,
38:05I did go to see Arooshma,
38:09and not just for tonight,
38:14from now on I’ll spend every single night with her.
38:18Every day of mine will be hers only,
38:20and there’s absolutely nothing you can do about it.
