You see?
Prerna, why did Aalim have to send Jacob here?
First of all I don't understand how mom is taking part
in such a regressive competition anyhow.
Be honest, Pramila.
What is the need? Does this suit Pramila?
Please go to your room.
Oh, sorry.
You know, Prerna, I was saying.. Prerna, all this is..
- Vikrant. - Dad, just leave mom alone.
You're controlling her a lot. She's getting very bugged.
- Please. - Guys.
- What? - I just realized something.
What?
Nobody in the Shastri family goes to work.
- Excuse me. - Excuse me.
Hi, guys.
And I am going to work.
- Love you. - And listen, Dhruv,
which reminds me, will you please come help Vikrant with some nutritional food.
I'm a little nervous about what he's been ordering for the kids.
Babs, I don't know about brother but
I'll definitely cook someone healthy for the remaining three kids.
- Fantastic! - Thanks.
Akanksha, I was working all day long, okay.
I'm not idle like the two of them.
I was on phone calls the whole day
and that's why I had to order food from outside.
Yeah, okay. Whatever. Hello. Excuse me. I'm not sitting idle.
I am writing my book!
Like hell. You've been telling this lie to all for the past 2 years.
Why am I even talking to you guys?
Just go away!
But I'm still there.
Actually problem is this Jacob.
We have to do something about him.
- You have to.. - Dad! I have lots to do.
I have to send my draft to the publisher.
- Please go to your room, dad. - Listen.. Listen to me, guys. Listen...
My God! You're so bad, Jacob!
It just happened. I couldn't help it.
What.. What's going on? Tell me. What's going on?
I can't tell you what he said.
What do you mean?
Nothing. Gopal.
Gopal?
I was just telling Pams about this one time
I went to the Swiss Alps for skiing.
I was with Irina Shayk's friend
and it turns out that the Swiss really do love chocolate.
What's so funny?
Swiss are bound to love their chocolate.
Anyway, never mind that.
What will you teach her today?
Pams.
You don't mind me calling you Pams, right?
- No. Of course not. - Excuse me, sir.
Can we do this picking up nicknames later?
Can you tell me what you're going to teach my wife today?
Patience, Gopal.
- I.. - All about patience.
- What? - Pams.
Go on your mat.
Yeah.
Fold your legs. Now, deep breath. Inhale.
And breathe out.
Deep breath in.
And breathe out.
He's going to teach you breathing?
I'm feeling it.
Yeah. Relaxed, right?
Deep breath in.
Disgusting!
What are you doing? This is yesterday's Chinese.
Not chips.
You're kids are going to get diabetes from you.
And they'll be obese.
Well, at least I'm giving them something after I've gone.
Do you get Sunita to cook something or does she simply chill here?
She does cook but every day coconut and..
Monster Yushi, what will you and I eat today?
I want some chicken katsu and Bibimbap.
Oh, yes, yes, monster Yushi. Whatever you want.
No! No, monster Yushi!
Okay, Ziu, uncle Dhruv is going to cook some healthy and tasty for us.
Okay? So, all of us will eat that. Alright?
I hate your father, Zia.
Why is she behaving like a character from a horror film?
I don't know. She's very dominating.
It must be the diet. You become what you eat.
Let me check your fridge. I'll sort it out.
Dhruv, you should go back to work.
There's nothing but chocolate in the fridge.
Okay, let's wrap it up quickly.
- Akanksha. - Yeah.
I want you to give me the pitch for Mummy and Us by EOD.
- Got it. - And try and channel, you know,
what you'd want as a mother in the pitch please. Right?
And now, for my favorite clients - Pummba Bearr
Rasika. Sophia. You need to channel youth.
The meeting is tomorrow. We need to get everything today.
Right now we need all the help possible.
I want all the details, all the ideas everything
before I hit 5 K on this.
- Akanksha. - Yeah.
Can you call Armaan in for this one, please?
I think he'll be good for this meeting.
Yeah? Cheers!
Alright.
Hi.
- Hi, boss. - Hey, Armaan. Have a seat.
- Hi Guys. - Hey.
Alright, guys. Let's get to work.
I just don't get it. What is the need to do this?
I mean, dad is always doing such things, so I'm kinda used to it
but mom, it's just so unlike her.
And, O my God. Jacob. I mean, he's easy on the eyes,
but why is he there, Aalim?
Aunty asked for help, help I did.
You are so helpful, aren't you?!
Hi, mummy.
Where are you, son? You didn't call back only.
Yes, mummy. I got busy with work.
Anyway, have you thought about what I said?
Talk to Prerna.
You two are perfect for each other.
Mummy, I'm driving. I'll call you later.
- What was that? - Nothing.
It was something.
Just let it go. It was really nothing.
Aalim?
This is not from me. Mom said that about marriage..
What?
Mother said it. Not I.
Pams.
Such a good looking, beautiful woman.
And such a strong personality.
But what is up with your social media profile?
It's all over the place.
Why is my social media profile important?
Pams, it's all about building a brand.
Social media is now being used to create so much change.
It has so much impact.
You can literally chose to stand for anything online.
Anything.
Now look at Gopal's profile.
You can tell at first sight he likes anything and everything.
You know he's like..
He's like a potato.
Yeah. Right.
Pammi,
that means you should learn from me.
- Exactly. - Yeah.
- You should learn from him. - Yeah.
But don't be like him.
You focus on your personality and showcase it to the world.
They will love it.
See, not everyone appreciates a potato
but everybody loves an avacado.
- You like an avocado, right? - No.
Be an avocado, Pams.
Hello.
Are you making fun of me calling me a potato?
What is this man saying, Pammi?
- Gopal buddy.. - ??!
Govind. And I'm not your buddy.
He's still angry.
She's clearly thinking about it, right?
Yes, well, mummy is thinking about marriage.
Doesn't mean that I am.
- I can't do this right now. - Prerna? What the hell!
What? What?
So what if my mother wants me to get married?
Did I ever talk to you about it?
Because you know I'm not ready for it.
It's too much pressure, Aalim.
I have many things going on, including my book..
Oh, please shut up about that book of yours.
Excuse me.
You also know very well that tying the two ideas of
finishing your book and moving in together is so silly.
Write the book if you want to.
How is that remotely related with moving in together?
See, I knew. I knew this was bullshit
but I played along because I thought, okay,
- you're not ready for it. - I'm sorry.
No, one second. My book is bullshit now?
No, I did not say that.
I said you're using the book as an excuse not to move in together.
That is bullshit!
Why do you become so insecure on the subject of marriage?
I mean, are you even serious about us?
What?
I'm getting slightly tired and we're not getting any younger.
Prerna, I have always supported you,
been encouraging to you but please don't get
finishing your book and moving in together
in the same category, because they're not.
Okay..
I know you're scared
of moving in together, of getting married.
I understand that.
But will you ever be comfortable with the idea?
Look, if it's something else, please tell me or I..
Else?
Where are you going?
To write your book!
Nobody will take so much effort daily?
It's very simple, brother.
One-third protein, one-third carbs
and the last third is just lots of green vegetables.
Dad, monster Yushi wants to know, can we watch few episodes of Montimon.
You have an exam tomorrow.
But we can still read the whole night.
With some coffee.
Okay, Ziu, you're going to watch only one episode,
then you're going to study.
I don't hate your dad anymore.
Bro,
do you ever say no to her?
- Of course I do. - When?
Yesterday when she said I want coke, I said, no coke!
Then you suggested she have ice-tea.
What else could I do?
Just admit that you can't say no to her.
Today is the season finale of Montimon.
She will cry all night if she doesn't watch it.
Dad, I'm hungry.
Can you order us an ice cream?
It's so hot.
No. No, Ziu. I can't.
Remember, sugar is the enemy.
Sugar is the enemy.
You're the enemy.
Listen.
- Are you free? - For you, always.
What is it?
I need some advice. Can we meet?
It's just work related.
Actually Dhruv and I were supposed to have dinner.
Why don't we do this, Akanksha? You also join us.
I'll meet you a little early before that.
Yeah. Okay. Best.
Vikrant can come with Dhruv.
Fantastic! It'll be a double date.
So, I'll pick you up and I'll text the boys.
- Okay, see you soon. - Okay. Bye.
Look, Pams.
To win, you need to have that desire, that fire
which I'm not sure you have at this point.
Jacob, just give me a minute.
What shall I do?
- I.. - What's the matter with you?
I am fine.
No. Just tell me what's bothering you.
Pammi, why.. Why do you need to do this with him?
Can't I teach you all of that?
Govind, for heaven's sake, he's a pageant coach!
This is his job.
To make me look young, make me look fit.
Doing the makeup correctly.
I mean, do you even know the difference between eyeliner and eyeshadow?
Come on, Pammi. This is only a club contest.
Aren't you a bit too serious about it?
As long as it was you and me,
it was nice. Fun and games. Enjoyable.
But now..
what is the need for any of this? What's the reason?
- Reason? - What's the reason?
How much clearer can my reason be?
All my choices are made to make someone else's life comfortable.
No space is left for me after accommodating everyone else, Govind.
And I want my space back.
Seriously!
So even if it seems selfish, na.
I'm going to do this just for me.
This is Pramila's thing and I'm going to do it
as per Pramila's convenience.
That's why I want to win the pageant.
Because a new chapter has begun in the lives of everyone I love.
You know as much as I love reading your chapter,
it's now time for you to read mine.
That is it.
That is the next top model of Mrs. Meadows 2022.
That is the fire we need.
Whatever you told Gopal..
Govind. Whatever you told Govind
is what we position you as. So proud of you.
Good job. See you tomorrow.
Thanks.
- Listen, so plan is made. - Hmm.
We'll drop the kids off at dad's, then we'll all go for dinner.
Perfect!
But first, beetroot carpaccio.
And, of course, some fresh vegetables.
- Wow! - Wow!
- Come on, Ziu! - Yummy!
This is amazing, Dhruv. Why don't you report at 9 am tomorrow?
Starting tomorrow you chill, Sunita.
Look at this. Look at the food.
If the kids enjoy it, brother,
I shall teach Sunita each of these dishes.
- Don't worry. - Thanks.
Ziu, come on. Have a bite.
I only want to eat chicken. No veggies for me. Thank you.
Ziu, try the veggies. They're super yummy!
But I don't want to eat veggies.
Ziu, you have to eat veggies.
You can't always get what you want.
- I.. - Eat your vegetables. Come on.
They're tasty.
Huh?
Bro,
I know it was hard for you
but you did good.
Thank you, bro. Thank you for this amazing food.
Listen, but on a serious note, this looks amazing.
I mean, people would pay really good money for this.
This is excellent stuff!
I know not now but you never know when you could open a restaurant
If you make food like this.
Wow!
And as I'm walking out,
Armaan entered and as he passes me he goes, akoooo!
Nobody even reacts.
What the hell does this sound mean?
Akanksha, it's akrrrrr.
Why do you even know this sound?
Because it's a Cardeebee thing.
- Geez! - Okay, it's a Gen Z thing.
So what? What does Rohan think?
That just because I am older
that I can't handle all these cool beer brands?
These youth brands.
Is that what he thinks?
So I didn't know that no cap means not kidding.
Not everything in small case.
This slaps. This slaps means something is amazing!
I mean this one is so contradictory, no?
Yeah, it is. But, Akanksha,
what is your problem?
That you don't know these Gen Z terms
or that he's not giving you the clients you want?
Yeah. He's giving me only mommy related clients.
Do these people think that I'm defined by that?
Just because I'm a mother I can do nothing else?
Tell Rohan, diversify my clients.
It's weak one, Nidhi.
I can't just barge into his office and start demanding things.
Akanksha, either you talk to him
or show him that you can handle this.
I know you can do this. I know you can handle more clients.
You know you can handle more clients. Show it to him also.
Look, it's simple.
More than actually doing the job show them that you can do the job.
It always works.
Just.
Here. Excuse me.
- Please use a fork. - Please do us all a favor.
- Chopsticks is stupid. - I don't know why you try.
My God! The food is so amazing! I love this place.
- Yeah. - You're welcome, guys!
To a healthy, fulfilling and nutritious day!
Hear! Hear!
- ?? - What's up, brother?
And to the death of super dad!
Why? What happened to super dad?
He's just been through a bad time.
Please don't call me super dad. I'm only dad from now on.
And according to Dhruv I'm giving our kids diabetes.
How much sugar did you give them today?
It's sorted now, Akanksha. I'm a changed man.
Dhruv, you want to tell them something.
I've kinda decided something.
So I'm going to give this job hunt a break now.
- Really? - Yeah.
I've found a really cool French patisserie course online
so I'm thinking of applying for it.
Fancy.
Babs, you know what?
Everything is about choices.
In these different realms of existence I choose to be active.
And I don't wanna be passive anymore.
I wanna take control of my life. I wanna seize the day
- and I'm gonna make sure - Dhruv. Dhruv.
Basically you're trying to say
you won't be applying for any more jobs.
- You'll do your own thing. - Yes.
And you've been watching too many motivational videos
on Youtube every day.
We've noticed.
- You know what, Dhruv? - Hmm.
I think it's great. Follow your passion.
Thanks, Babs.
- Tell us about yourself, Nidhi. - What?
What life altering challenge is going on in your life?
I like my life the way it is.
There's nothing unpredictable. It's planned to the T.
And I love it like that.
I'm sure something is going on.
Little unpredictable.
Nidhi has always been on top of things.
Well, cheers to Nidhi and nothing unpredictable happening in her life.
- Cheers! - To Nidhi!
- To Nidhi!
Okay. Okay. I'm dead. I'm dead. I'm dead.
Good job, soldier! Good job!
Now the next mission is attack the ice cream.
- Ice cream? - Ice cream!
Sunita, take the kids with you. Treat them to a little ice cream.
Then put them in their beds.
Dad, you shouldn't feed them so much sugar.
It's not good for them.
Nothing will happen to them. I know.
Do you want some?
It's not too sweet now, right?
Very nice!
Yeah.
Dad, I think I'm done.
You know, I think I am also done for the day.
- Bad day? - You know how it is.
Lover's tiff.
Okay. It happens. Forget it.
Forget it. Take this.
All for you. - Sure? - Yes.
- Dhruv. - Hmm.
Do you see a problem in being predictable?
No.
Then why did Vikrant say that?
Brother is very bad at jokes these days.
Also I didn't like the fact that Hrithik and ZNMD had to change.
What was the problem in his life?
He was earning so well. He used to go for holidays.
What's the problem with planning everything to the T?
Nids, I would say you do you. You want something to change?
No.
I'm going to make some chamomile tea.
- Thank you, baby. - Love you.
Hi, sweetheart.
I was thinking of dropping on Sunday to your house.
Dhruv!
I think I need something stronger!
