As the eldest son,...
..I would like to say...
...that I take it very personally that khushi is lost.
And we're doing nothing about it.
Khushi!
Come here, girl.
Dhruv, what are you doing?
That won't just bring it back!
Prerna, pass me the 'Gobhi' Manchurian.
Great. Khushi is missing because of you...
...and you're enjoying 'gobhi' Manchurian!
How can you speak like that to your dad?
Khushi!
Khushi, where are you?
I fell in love with him.
I knowingly fell in love with him!
Dad, Prerna is right.
Had you not come up with this is potluck idea, khushi wouldn't go missing!
I just...
Can we stop pointing fingers at each other all the time?
Khushi has gone missing.
Well, can we start eating?
Nidhi, Akanksha, what have you got for the potluck?
Khushi won't return.
Let's just please start this damn potluck.
If you still think khushi is some puppy or kitten, think again.
Thanks to this potluck, khushi...
And I mean real happiness was gone forever.
How difficult would it be to get some food from each house or so we thought!
And meet once a week like a nice, typical family.
Perhaps we forgot, in the Shastri family...
...nothing is as typical as it seems.
I mean look at us! We...
Oh god! What a horrible way to start a book, right?
Okay, let me start properly this time.
Chapter One.
God!
I hear this noise daily now!
Pammi, it's never too late to start new things in life.
Listen you're not a CEO anymore.
You don't have to give me motivational quotes in the morning.
Thanks to these quotes, your husband got the family to agree to a potluck.
Agreed! I forgot you are a heart patient.
Keep it low. Prerna is in the next room.
So? If you're scared, tell everyone the truth.
Pammi, don't keep saying that.
You know I lied...
...so our family would be together.
A family that eats together stays together.
If it's so much about togetherness, why don't you tell everyone the truth?
I'm telling you,...
...some day you'll get trapped in your lies.
Oh c'mon! Listen to a new raga.
This is called Raga Govind.
If it weren't for our kids,...
...I'd have left you long ago.
What a coincidence!
I too was thinking of giving up my worldy ways!
- Nisha, add black cardamom. - Yes.
Okay.
Sir, I know it's a new brand but...
...I mean we have to put in some money.
Even if it sinks, there will...
Add paprika...
...not red chilli powder.
Keep it al Dante, not over cooked. Okay?
Sorry, I'm... Can I call you back, sir?
Just 2 minutes.
Careful.
Why?
Baby, should we start again?
You know I work on Sundays too.
My promotion is due.
It's a new house.
It was our turn. We'll manage.
It's not about managing things, Dhruv.
I don't want to get reprimanded by my boss...
...and then sit and be judged by your mother that I don't cook!
Mom doesn't judge you.
That's not fair. She knows you since your childhood.
Okay we'll fight later.
Look what you made today!
What?
Learn this by heart...
...and blurt it out to mom. Okay?
- Miso Paneer. - Miso paneer.
Marinated in miso paste...
...with rice wine reduction.
Miso paneer...
...marinated in... - Miso paste.
With rice wine reduction.
I'm never going to get it.
You'll get it, promise. Have another bite.
It's good, right?
Miso paneer...
...marinated in... - Miso paste.
Okay. Miso paneer...
..marinated in miso...
- Rice wine reduction. - Rice wine reduction.
Zia...
Where are you going...
- Oh no! - Zia...
Don't do that.
Where are you going!
Come here.
I'm going for a shower now.
Zia, only English in the house from now on.
Mamma doesn't understand Telugu, right?
No.
Look a funny video. You like Babu bhaiya?
I've told you many times, Sunita,...
...don't speak to her in Telugu.
She didn't listen. I sorry...
I speak lovingly in Telugu to her.
Okay fine.
Just cook the rice for the pulao.
And please don't add coconut this time.
Zia, I want you ready in 10 minutes.
Yeah, comedy videos.
I want to go for dance class.
But grandma feeds me apple gourd perforce!
I don't like her food.
Hey Zia, you mustn't say that. It's not good.
- Here. - She's your grandma.
Have this, baby.
Vikrant, you better take a shower.
And stop watching that trash.
I've changed my T-shirt. I'll change pajamas later.
I'm almost ready.
We have only one bathroom.
I told you to go first.
If you want all these comforts, then maybe get a bigger house I guess.
Prerna!
Come, we've to cook.
I've loads to do.
Finish it later. We've to cook lots of food.
Mom, I've told you before...
...don't disturb when I'm working.
And what's this? You should at least unpack.
- I mean your cupboard is empty. - I'll do it later.
What are you doing? I'll do it later.
How can you live like this?
Very happily.
Can I not have any privacy in this house?
- Should I leave? - I just asked for help.
But you're just wanting to move everything.
I told you I'm working.
- Unbelievable! - Oh I'm unbelievable!
- Yes. - I am working.
And you're rearranging things here.
And I'm unbelievable!
Pramila, not now.
We've to get wine. Prerna, come with me.
- Get dressed. - Hey..
No, I've work to do.
Please come.
I've to do things myself despite having a daughter!
- Pramila... But we're going to get the wine! - Wasn't that sexist?
You were passing time playing a sitar, right?
Don't take advantage of the liberty I give you.
Let's go, hurry up.
May I get changed first?
That's what I said.
Quick.
"Twinkle twinkle little star"
Zia...
I don't think singing career would be ideal for her.
"Up the sky"
Why did Dhruv buy 3 BHK?
Nidhi neither likes nor wants kids.
What will they do with all that space?
- You okay? - Yeah, yeah, I'm just...
...tired all the time.
After Saisha and Naksh, it's been non-stop...
I know, Akanksha, please don't be tense.
Just relax, everything will be fine.
I'm with you.
- It was the previous left. - What?
- Previous left. Sorry, man. - Vikrant, what the hell man!
- Don't just stop... - Can't you bloody read...
...a map, Vikrant? You're always doing this.
I didn't recenter.
- We're already late. - Cheer you up and read the map too.
I've to boost your morale and read the map too.
Vikrant, we're taking the longest route possible.
We were to reach before your parents.
Enough, dad, please.
You have diabetes. Your heart ailment is recent.
C'mon, this ours. Don't spoil this.
No worries. Do I get a cigarette?
Sure.
Just come.
Oh! One second.
Hey...
Hello.
Yes.
Yes, the same address.
Well, it's a TV. Bring it carefully.
Deliver it by evening.
Okay? Thank you.
For who?
Well, a house warming gift for Dhruv and Nidhi's new home.
From senior Shastri.
No. Not a chance.
Yes, sir. I sent out the mail.
Okay, all right.
God!
Okay, miso paneer...
...marinated in miso paste...
What did we add then?
Vinegar...
We added vinegar then...
Baby,...
...isn't this TV from your dad a tad too big?
And then...
Miso paneer...
In miso paste...
...we added vinegar and then...
Oh god! Some rice wine reduction...
Then you bake the paneer at 200 degrees.
- Okay? - Okay.
And then, chef, taste.
You got this, okay?
I love you.
Sorry, I asked Akanksha to come early.
Hello. - Hello.
How are you? - Hello.
- How are you, son? - Good.
Wow! So nice house!
- Hi. - Wow.
Wow. Super nice, dude.
It's beautiful! - Welcome home.
Just close the door and come.
It's so nice.
How lovely is this!
Amazing!
Actually guys, why don't you spend the night here today?
The third room is ready.
Why don't we just shift here permanently, Vikrant?
- What do you think? - Please, but without the kids.
It's a plan.
- Hello. - Hi.
Hello, how's it going?
- Very well. - Wow.
Okay, good.
I'm just going to help Nidhi, guys.
I made some fusion food.
What was the problem? What was the emergency?
Why did you ask me to come early?
- I needed some help. - What's happening?
- I've figured it out though. - What are we making?
Promotion is due and phone calls and then this potluck...
- I know. - Cook... How's yours work going?
Work is good, kids are crazy.
I don't know I'm having it till up here. I don't know which end is up.
I don't know which end is up, really.
- We'll be fine. - Sunita's a god's gift.
- We'll be fine, yeah. - Yeah.
Really fine.
Let's try the paneer.
Honestly, I called you for support.
- I know that. - I was dying.
I know that. Don't worry about it, I'm sure you've got this....
- Hi. - Hello.
Hello, son.
- Congratulations. - Thank you, dad.
- Very nice. - Thank you.
- Looks great. - Nakshu!
Dude, insane.
Show us everything.
Oh my god!
So nice to see you'll.
Come with me.
Just one second.
Hi.
Don't break it.
Outstanding!
Zia, you want pizza?
Also, 10 points for the presentation.
Mummy, try the miso paneer.
I made it.
I mean I made it in miso paste. -Alright.
Then I added some vinegar and then ...
Then rice wine reduction.
Then I baked it in I mean at...
- ...200 degrees. - It's nice.
Yeah.
- Thank you. - Akanksha?
Yes.
You should learn miso paneer.
Good job, baby.
- Send me the recipe. - I will.
Yumm.
The home is looking gorgeous. Congratulations.
Thank you.
Cheers to that.
Come on.
What's wrong, bro? - What happened?
Tell me what's the process of buying a house.
Just run me by the whole thing.
Are you planning to buy a house?
After Saisha and Naksh,...
...our house seems a bit small.
I'm just thinking.
So just run me through it. You took a loan, then?
No, actually we got really lucky.
I sold some SIPs, mutual funds and stocks I had.
That fetched me 40-45 Lakhs.
You know the popular saying "Sell a Skoda, Buy a Ferrari!"
And Nidhi got that big bonus, remember?
Her dad chipped in and it was done.
That's really good, bro.
- Good for you both. - Thanks, bro.
I think I should've also become an IT professional, bro!
I didn't do anything.
Someone else must've done it.
My tiger Nakshu.
I'm Bored!
Zia, speak to grandma in Hindi.
No.
I can't tell you where the money goes every month!
- Bro, you have no idea how expenses... - What's happening?
- There she is. - Welcome, Prerna.
- Come, come. - Please sit.
- What's wrong with you? - Finally...
...at home with mom and dad! Must be fun.
I'm sure boys keep coming over everyday, right?
You too?
Get rid of the Telugu nanny. She's teaching wrong things.
She's a good nanny, mummy. It's hard to come by...
..someone nice and trustworthy.
You know, maybe you should take a break.
How will you bring up the twins and work, child?
What if we look after them?
- What do you say? - Right, Zia?
Will you play with grandma?
I'm sure mom asks 500 questions.
And dad must be over compensating, ofcourse.
You guys are loving this, right?
Actually, honestly I can't believe you came back home.
- Neither can I. - Dhruv,...
- What? - That's really rude!
- What? - Somebody lost in life...
...and came back to her parents' home...
- ...and you're making fun of her! - We're kidding!
I'll show you what Nidhi's parents gave us.
- I am sorry. - Prerna, I was saying you'll be their support in their old age.
Okay, okay, okay.
Dad also got you a TV.
Please don't tell him...
- ...I told you. - What...
Are you serious?
- This is huge! - Dad's going to flip!
Dude, dad's TV is surely smaller than this.
Nothing can be bigger than this.
What is this, a wall or what!
He got a 50 inch so proudly.
And you know in your case...
...dad takes things to his heart.
- Are you mad? - Are you mad?
He's been extra emotional about you forever, right?
Totally, dude. What are you saying? How many examples should we give?
Do you remember Jaggi uncle?
He got you Hot Wheels from America...
...for your birthday. - Correct. - For my birthday.
Yeah.
So what did dad buy you on the same day?
- He got you a cycle the same day. - Correct.
Oh his graduation gift!
That was a different story altogether.
- You're delusional, sir. - Oh s**t!
- You're his favourite child. - Yeah...
Hi, dad.
How's the stock market? How's it going?
Why are you showing unnecessary interest?
Pammi said you bought slippers worth 6,000!
Who does that?
You can buy them for 100 bucks in the market.
Such foolishness!
Dad, Dhruv has a new TV.
- Yes. - What a huge TV, wow!
Yeah look at it. It's huge.
Wow.
What happened?
Saishu, what happened? Poor thing!
Is her nappy clean?
- Yes. - Then?
Naksh!
Dhruv, listen...
Hey! Everyone's here.
Yes, we're looking at the TV.
Nice, right?
- Yeah wow. - Beautiful.
My parents got it for us.
- House warming gift. - So sweet.
Thanks.
(Naksh Crying on floor)
Pick up Naksh.
Take her. Give him to me.
Naksh... I'll change his diaper.
Okay.
Let's go, baba.
- It's really nice. - It's perfect.
What's going on here?
I mean when are we having dessert?
Actually dad was discussing...
...that JCL TV is the best.
No, it's not that.
But won't such a huge TV strain the eyes?
But everyone's on their screens these days.
So how does it matter?
Can you surf Internet on this?
Of course but who surfs the Internet on a TV?
- I mean it's just an added... - Nidhi...
Dad, you're right. It's too big.
It'll strain the eyes. You're right.
How long will you buy Chinese stuff?
It's not worth it. Use 'Make in India.'
Vocal for local.
Vocal for local is fine, dad,...
...but now that it's here we can't throw it out the window!
- Better use it. - Yeah.
- Right? - Try getting dad's point, Nidhi.
Dad, you're right.
If I'm right, why did you buy this?
Who gets so emotional over a TV, guys?
- Seriously. - Exactly.
Why are we getting so emotional?
Nothing...
Keep buying Chinese stuff if you want to.
Why are you even living here?
Shift there.
- I'll get it. - Somebody's at the door.
Fu***
You're such a coward.
Yeah, dad, you're so right.
Wait a minute. My money, my slippers.
Why will I wear slippers worth 100 bucks?
He's another kind of...
I am trying, right?
Nakshu,...
...if mummy quits her job and stays at home,...
...she'll get bored.
Can't I do both?
What's wrong in that?
She's doing a great job so I should sack her!
Because I feel bad I can't be with you both!
It's just...
Mumma....
What? What did you say?
What did you say? Did you just call me mumma?
Mumma...
Yes!
Yes, I'm your Mumma.
Yes?
There's a delivery on this address for this TV.
- TV? - Yes.
Well, actually...
He called me Mumma!
What?
He called me mamma. He said mamma!
Naksh said mamma. - Hi.
She's so...
Say papa.
Say Zia.
- No, say aunt. - No Zia.
Aunt.
- Aunt. - No, say uncle.
If you say aunt, I'll give you wine.
Papa, papa...
Isn't the TV a bit huge?
No.
The house is small.
