Happy Anniversary dad! -Happy Anniversary!
Happy Anniversary! -Thank you! Thank you!
Okay. To the happy couple!
Yes!
Guys, I have felt this term was an oxymoron,
I mean, happily married?
But after looking at you two, I can say one thing for sure.
For all these years of service,
my friend truly deserves
a medal from the government!
To Loveleen and Nihal!
Cheers, guys! -Cheers!
Trust is the foundation of your marriage.
I think the foundation of a marriage
is big and small lies.
You know, lies.
Cheers to many more lies
and even more pretenses. Cheers! -Wow!
The ladies have
surely pulled my leg.
Now, it's time for my friend to give the toast.
My friend, Kunal.
Save me, and say something nice. -Absolutely!
In order to endure a fool like Nihal for 20 years,
you have my heartfelt congratulations!
You guys really have been the most wonderful friends for us.
And just because of you
Sakshi
always thinks I'm nice.
You traitor, cheat!
I've lost a friend today! -But,
we have to seriously accept the fact that
perfection in a relationship is a myth.
Both of you, even with your imperfections
have truly created magic.
So, congratulations! Really.
Happy.
It's such a simple word, right?
Just be happy.
It's easy to say it, but
doing it is not so easy.
After 20 years of marriage,
honesty is a little...
I mean, we need a little bit of honesty, right?
Honesty is very underrated.
You don't get it easily.
Wives pretend to like their husbands' haircut
and just smile it off.
While husbands never appreciate
their wives' wardrobe.
It's always you look beautiful baby.
You look wonderful, honey.
In this world of
mutually faked filters,
it's not easy to find the unfiltered version of marriage.
It's a perfectly timed double-fake...
Loveleen, your patience,
your love, I wish I had it.
You have.
Nihal, I wish everybody could be as open as you are.
You proudly make mistakes.
Everything is on your face. Nothing is hidden.
Respect. Really.
A few days ago I learned
how difficult balance is.
Loveleen and Nihal, you always considered me and Kunal
an ideal couple.
But it's not so.
I can't pretend to be perfect anymore.
The kids are here.
I'm sorry, Kunal.
I can't do this any more.
Kunal and I...
We're getting separated.
Mom, what happened?
We're getting a divorce.
I am sorry.
But with him,
it's like...
I found myself.
With him, Sakshi...
I think I found my soulmate.
Sakshi?
My God! What's wrong? Come inside.
Come.
Don't worry, the kids are out for breakfast.
Are you okay? You're cold!
He loves him.
What? -He loves...
He loves him, Rafia. -Okay.
Okay, come! Just breathe! Breathe! -He loves him.
I have spent
20 years.
My children.
My boring accountant
of a husband says he's gay.
Look, all gays
are not colorful cliche types.
Are you taking his side? -I'm not siding with anyone.
Since when?
Since how long? -Forever!
He was trying to say that
he was always...
He even try to deny it,
he said that
he's not a liar.
I even
suggested a threesome.
You've truly lost it.
I was trying to make sense of it all.
I was trying, I'm still trying,
Yes. -I thought it was
all about the sex part.
I didn't feel it.
Thanks.
I didn't feel anything. -Sakshi,
Just breathe. -Is this
what Kunal felt
as well
when he kisses me?
Come on. -Nothing?
All these years whatever that was going on in our bed,
it was all a lie?
Just a pretense!
F**k!
I even went...
I mean, we even for that pride march!
You remember? -Yeah.
I thought we were
very cool. I was open-minded.
I was really accepting, but...
I can't!
I'm not that open minded.
No, it's okay. You're hurt right now. That's all.
You don't have to be politically correct. It's okay.
And he was saying
that he loves me,
he loves the kids.
I mean,
is it all true?
I don't know, like...
Why did I see him?
It could've just continued the way it was.
Everything would have been the same, right?
Why did I see him?
He was pretending,
I could have done the same too, right?
Fucking!
No, no. Come.
Come. Come here.
Hey!
Did you call Mom?
Yes, she said we'll go to school.
F**k!
What's happening at your place?
I hope your Mom isn't leaving your dad and shifting with my Mom?
Very funny. Shut up.
You're always at home, you're becoming crazy.
Come to school with me. -I've been suspended, Shivi.
So what, dude? -You're a warrior.
How can I teacher or principal stop you?
You make your own fucking rules! -Okay.
You handle your parents. I'll be fine.
No, you won't be.
Dude, my parents are rock solid.
They'll manage it. But you
need my help. Come.
Come on!
Vishal, what is this?
Who signed for this? -It just came.
Who signed for this? Who took the delivery?
Why can't you concentrate
on minute issues! Do I have to do everything myself?
And please don't overcook the noodles!
You know we don't use this fish, Vishal!
He is taking it back. Relax.
It's a new supplier. He didn't know we don't use river fish.
Sakshi, everything is under control. Just relax. Please!
Everything is under control. -It's not under control, Kunal!
I have no idea where the fish was delivered from,
or where to return it.
Where should I pay the electricity bill?
How to renew the liquor license?
Where do we get the stalks and vegetables from?
I don't know anything, Kunal. -I know it.
I know.
I'm here. I'm not going anywhere. Trust me.
Yeah. Thanks.
Let's start today's class with the attendance.
Jhanvi?
Aren't you suspended?
Yes, ma'am. -So what are you doing in the school?
But why can't she come to school, ma'am?
How can you
punish her for Akshay's mistake?
Shivaay, you guys... -Ma'am!
Don't you teach us in Civics,
freedom of choice, freedom of expression?
Then how can you punish her for her choice?
Ma'am, I think Jhanvi's moral policing
is ruining her future and career.
Which is not acceptable.
If you rusticate Jhanvi
then you'll have to rusticate the entire senior class.
What say, guys? -Yeah!
You are so mad!
I was sick of you being at home.
Anyway, why should you be punished for something everyone does?
Everyone does it? -Yes, I have like
30 of these kinds of videos.
30?
I mean, I had them first. They're deleted now.
But I may still have a few.
I have to beg a little bit for that. -You boys
think sex is like some gift,
which girls give you.
Dude, it's a need. Why do you need to beg for it?
Really? -Really?
I did everything with full consent.
Even the video.
I didn't know he'll show everybody.
So basically, you're not against film making,
but you want the distribution rights to yourself.
Right?
Listen, you were telling something about
sex is a gift.
Take it easy, uncle Nihal.
I'm still young.
Still young?
Hi, boys! Guess what?
I've made your favourite lasagne!
I can smell the cheese, Saksh! Yum!
So, is your fight over?
Yeah. -Good.
I don't like it when you two fight.
I don't like it when you and Shivi fight.
Tit for tat.
So, no more fighting, right? All cool?
We won't fight.
Please have a quick shower and come back.
Guys, quickly. Come on.
Shivi? -Yeah? -Quick shower!
Like it? -It's too good, Mom. -Yeah.
By the way,
even I don't like it
when you guys fight.
Wow, Sakshi! Our son is expressing his feelings.
I feel like I'm going to cry.
No, I didn't mean that way.
You know, our son is like a coconut.
Soft from within,
but from out... -Hairy and brown.
Really? -Well said.
"My eyes well up."
"Dreams are non-existent."
"Withered."
"My eyes well up."
"Dreams are non-existent."
"Withered."
One!
Two! Three!
Four! Five! -Will you perform with me
for Mom and dads anniversary?
Yes, I promised.
But I have extra classes.
Now that Shivi got me back in school.
You and Shivi?
Don't hurt his other eye now.
Change! One! -You know
he's not the guy for you?
I know he messes with you
but he's not a bad guy.
First Akshay, now him?
Do you think he's different?
You think he's not as toxic as your ex?
Three! Four!
Come on. I thought you had better of you. -Five, six.
Ved, come on, be fair now! -Seven.
How does it matter to me? -Eight. Change one.
You want to date a prick... -And
two! -You go ahead.
So, do you want me to date you? -And three. Four!
No, thanks.
And five!
You're not my type.
I know that.
Move!
Ved!
Ved, what?
Girl's like getting heartbroken, right?
Cartoons for punishment.
Ved, I am not that delicate.
It's sweet that you think about me,
but think about yourself. You've got a lot to figure out anyway.
It's not a big deal.
There are many girls coming to the party.
I'll woo someone.
Okay. If that's what you want.
And you date Shivi
if that's what you want.
Sakshi? -Yes?
This.
Write something on the card. Please.
Yeah, sure. -Your handwriting is better.
What will it say?
Dear Loveleen and Nihal,
congratulations for being married
for 30 years.
You're a lucky dog to have a wife like Loveleen.
You're a lucky? -You're a lucky dog
to have a wife like Loveleen.
And Loveleen, you fell
in love with this fool and changed his life.
Here's to the next 20.
'And I found myself'
'with him, Sakshi.'
'I think I found my soulmate.'
'I didn't feel anything.'
'I'm here, I'm not going anywhere. Trust me.'
Mom, should I wear this jacket over the hoodie?
Mom?
Tell me, if I should wear it or not?
Yes. I'll just get the car.
By the way, Mom selects my clothes as well.
Mom, tell me!
It's looking good. Put it on.
Hey, Ananya! Can I steal your partner?
Come on? -You like her?
Didn't I didn't you, I can get a girl?
Why are you pretending?
At least be true to yourself.
Dude, I'm 16.
I don't know what's my truth is.
Is this how you'll find out?
Let her be with someone who she actually wants, right? -I don't know.
Hi, babes, give me some attention as well.
Don't be so testosterony.
Yeah, I can see. Nowadays,
you like hanging out with sturdy boys.
Shit! -Pardon!
You do you, okay?
You will learn your truth
when you face it.
You get me?
Shall we dance?
What are you doing?
Could I have a whiskey and cola, please?
Thank you. -Hi, Sonakshi.
Hey! How are you doing, Sakshi?
I thought you won't come.
Sometimes, we have to do the right thing
rather than what we want to do. Right?
Thank you.
Our parents call it fulfilling.
They weren't exactly wrong, you know.
I thought if I don't forgive Rahul,
it will be just my stupid ego, nothing else.
But he cheated on you? -So?
In so many years of marriage,
I must have made some mistake as well.
Not everything is black and white, Sakshi.
Nice heels, by the way.
Thanks. -Don't they hurt?
See. Exactly.
You know that wearing high heels
will hurt your back, yet you do it.
Just so that everything looks
pretty, perfect, beautiful.
Marriage is similar too, right?
Pretense, lies,
deceit. -They are tools
to cope.
Excuse me?
And at the end of the day, Sakshi,
don't we all just want that one man
who replaces our drink
before we're done with it?
Isn't it?
I'll see you around.
'God knows what it was.'
'Was it what Sonakshi said, or what I felt?'
'But in that moment, I realised'
'that something has changed within me.'
'So, here's to many more lies, and even more pretenses.'
'Both of you, even with your imperfections'
'have truly created magic.'
'I can't pretend to be perfect anymore.'
'Kunal and I, we're getting separated.'
'We're getting a divorce.'
I listened to you the other day, Kunal.
Now it's my turn.
Kunal, there is a possibility that our marriage,
our business, this home,
will run like usual.
It's possible
that I pretend for a few more days.
But I can't, Kunal.
And like you said,
since that
Preet has entered your life,
you have truly understood yourself.
It's the same for me!
I have understood myself.
If I wanted,
in order to save this marriage, the kids
I would've accepted this lie for a few more days,
but I can't, Kunal!
Yes, if I never found out
maybe matters would've been different.
But I know.
This is our truth.
Kunal,
I...
I think you should leave, Kunal.
Enough of these lies.
