Aalim.
I'm getting late, I have to go.
That's not my problem.
- Excuse me? - Yeah.
You will still have to make up to me for what you did.
I'll make it up to you tonight, huh?
We can do something.
But Nidhi really needs me right now.
Is she always like this after her mother leaves?
Usually, she is... actually she is very...
happy, when her mum leaves.
I don't know why...
she is over thinking at this time.
But you know actually, Sushma aunty has changed quite a lot.
And that's okay.
And that's why I think Nidhi wanted to talk to me today.
And she seemed to be in a hurry also.
So, I really have to go.
Aalim.
Okay. Okay.
- Yeah? Bye. Thank you. - Yeah!
- Now? - Yes, now.
Okay, bye. See you.
I feel like I have been played.
You totally haven't. Bye.
5 letters down, tasteless and fashionable,
often cheap looking.
No, that looks quite tacky.
- Tacky. - Yes.
Oh yeah, Pramila perfect fit.
As shown in Pinterest,
cut the neckline exactly that way.
Okay. Thank you.
Hear me, 9 letters across.
Clue is, getting smaller in size.
Which letters do you have?
S, H, 2 of I, N and G.
Shrinking.
Wow, you are on a roll.
- Shrinking. - Yeah, and now.
I forgot to mention Mangala,
the dress of my first-round has to be dry cleaned, or it will shrink.
Hey Pramila, take it easy.
Don't worry, it'll all be fine.
Eat you breakfast, listen to this.
Let's solve the crossword together.
Come here. Look.
Oh, that's my favorite.
I know. So now we go to 4 across.
Hello.
Hold on.
After all my outfits are sorted,
I promise to play all the word games with you.
Fine, go ahead. Dhruv is on his way.
He needs a little help in his business.
Why does he need help?
He wants to start a business, but I'll tell him which.
Wow. Now you have a new project. See.
Yeah, I have a new project.
Hello, Satish.
Hey kiddos. Hey.
Sunita, take the kids to bed. They are tired and sleepy.
So Zia, hope you are not missing your parents.
I am upset, I too wanted to go to ex....
- Oh, executive offsite. - Yes.
But it's for grown-ups, dear.
You know for us youngsters, grandpa and Zia.
We are going to have a blast at home.
Yes.
Can you hear it?
Noise from the bedroom?
No, you idiot.
The silence.
Just feels so amazing.
I can't believe we pulled it off, Vikrant.
Do you really think that nobody is going to find out?
Akanksha, you're stressing unnecessarily.
The plan is perfectly in place.
Mom and dad think, we are on your offsite.
Zia is anyways hanging with dad, and she loves doing that,
because they both are in the same head space.
Which is worrying and you need to talk about that.
There you go again!
Hope you remember the rules for today.
- Yes, I do. - And what are they?
To recreate the magic of 2012.
Our glory years.
No kids just Vikanksha.
That is correct.
And rule number 1,
- is not talking about kids at all. - Yeah.
Rule number 2, is that we'll
try and create some special moment from that time,
- for just the two of us. - Yes.
And rule number 3...
What the hell was rule number 3?
You forgot rule number 3?
That's my favorite rule.
That none of us gets to leave the bedroom
unless we both agree.
I don't remember it that way.
I remember it that way.
Okay fine.
We let this one go.
Dad, I want to serve food,
that has unique menus for each meal of the day.
- Okay. - And we are going to call it,
All day Deli'.
That's nice.
- Did you like the fonts. - Awesome.
Our brand colors will be yellow and red.
According to a market survey,
these two colors make people Hangry.
- Hangry? - Yeah. Hungry and angry.
It's a perfect combination.
That's quite deep research.
Yes, dad. So, here are some initial projections,
with a 10% cash burn.
But.
But what?
There is a major problem.
After minute details, what's the problem?
I don't know, what will be the USP?
There are numerous cooks
and various options in every cuisine.
It's a competitive market.
How to make mine special?
That's the problem.
Let's go.
- Where? - To research the market.
Mangala. Take the day off.
No need to cook today.
Just wait.
Just make filter coffee for us.
- Hi. - You are 10 minutes late.
- Okay. - Never mind, canvas is set.
Activities are sorted.
One second, what does activities mean?
I thought I came here to chat.
Why would I want to chat?
Didn't you say that?
Prerna, by 5.30 pm tomorrow.
Nidhi is going to have a mind-blowing hobby.
Listen, I am killing it at work.
So, excelling in a few hobbies shouldn't be difficult.
Two activities for today and 2 for tomorrow.
- So, we can wrap it up like that. - Wait. What?
Look, my mom thinks I just work.
- Vikrant finds me predictable. - Oh.
So, I want a hobby to prove to them, that my life is not all work.
Just a minute, Sunaina.
- Hi. - Meet Prerna,
my sister-in-law and my best friend.
- Hi. - This is Sunaina.
She is going to train us in the art of hand painting.
- Hand painting it is. - Okay.
- Please put this on. - Okay.
- So literally with hands. - Right.
You are supposed to express yourself with the hands.
Express what exactly?
Whatever you feel like.
Awesome.
You ready?
Are you ready?
AK47, discovered in 2012.
So, are you ready to break your own record?
Six shots in a row.
And after that, do you remember?
I thought, I was an ice-skating ballerina.
It was absolutely fine till then,
after that, you decided to start twirling in their house.
And you broke off everything.
Mirrors, glasses, and you broke your ankle.
Well. If you are ready,
then we are on. But there is no going back.
- Ready? - Ready.
Let's do it.
Come on, come on.
Come on, wife.
You better take care of me, Vikrant.
Cheers.
Oh my god.
Dad.
I can't eat anymore, I am stuffed.
How can you compete,
if you are not aware of the competition?
Success is never given.
It has to be taken.
I've stacked them into different categories.
This is like homecooked food,
- ...restaurant. - Okay.
I call it the 'Lunch box cuisine.' Right.
This is the regional cuisine.
This is the bakery, the sourdough,
you know all that kind of,
- the cheese that kind of cuisine. - Understood.
But the... where do I place you?
What?
Dad!
What are you doing?
You have to become this.
This.
Plastic container?
You know, to stand out,
you have to create your own category.
You have to create your own cuisine.
Your own style.
So, you create your own niche.
Dad, you are dramatically repeating my same problem.
This makes no sense.
No, it makes a lot of sense.
Focus. Creative focusing.
Creative focusing.
Create it. Create.
You have to create.
What's all this?
Govind!
You two, better have a proper explanation for this.
This.
- It's all him. - Mangala.
He gave her the day off.
No not me, he did.
Try this, it's very nice.
Nidhi.
Why are we doing this?
I had read an article which said,
hand painting and expressing,
whatever this is, connects you to your soul better.
Isn't it the best hobby?
Souls get connected and you learn a hobby too. 2 in 1.
Nidhi, you can't possibly think,
that you'll learn a hobby in a single day.
I had to start somewhere.
Hobby crash courses are futile.
Crazy girl.
Can you tell me what your problem is?
Nothing.
- Nidhi. - Fine.
Look at this.
Wow. That's a lot of money.
I know.
What do you mean. Having too much money is a problem now?
And your salary since long.
- It isn't salary. - Then?
It's a proof of being a workaholic.
I haven't taken a single off in 4 years.
Oh no, that's too bad.
Why do people work? Tell me?
They work so that they can go on a holiday.
I do the opposite.
I go on a holiday,
work hard and earn more money.
- That's all. - Oh no.
You poor old rich thing!
I know.
Dude, you are crazy.
Listen.
If you had so much of money
then I think you could've given me a different birthday gift.
You didn't like your gift?
I love my gift, I am just saying.
With that I can afford a trip to Spain,
or Italy or do like one...
Wow.
First eat and then clean up.
Isn't that life?
Yeah, that's life.
Okay.
Here.
I think, it looks pretty good.
But the problem still persists, dad.
My idea will still remain incomplete.
We have gorged so much and we haven't gotten anywhere.
That's not true.
I have a back up plan, first we are going to watch,
Chef movie of Jon Favreau, then Saif Ali's Chef.
Then Ratatouille, then Wolf on Wall Street.
Last but not the least, Shark Tank.
Dad, I don't need inspirations but answers.
How will a movie marathon help in creating my USP?
- It is possible. - Relax.
You want to start a food business, right?
Yeah.
So, tell me, what is that you want to eat,
that you are not getting?
I'll tell you'll, come along to the kitchen. Hurry.
Dhruv, listen to me.
Those moves really worked.
So did those AK47s.
Oh, wait.
What? Where?
What about rule number 3? Excuse me?
Oh yes.
So.
My lady.
May I now have the permission to show you, my recreation?
No.
Wow, Nidhs.
This is your soul, no wonder you turned hobbies into work.
Hobbies are supposed to be fun,
something that you enjoy.
- I can't just sit and do nothing. - Sure.
I have to take things into my own hands.
I have to go out there and explore and try new things.
And I doing these boring art classes
to bring some meaning in to my life.
No offence.
How will you get meaning so easily?
Will have to try a harder.
- Are you mad? - Please.
- Not me. - Prerna.
Ma'am.
I think we are done.
So, I really need to talk to her and not in a time sensitive manner,
where we are emoting, expressing.
As if you were expressing?
What?
I think you should do something very basic.
Like connect the dots.
No offence! I will see myself out.
But yours is genuinely nice.
Right. Just look at it.
I splattered on it too.
You're an artist too.
Where do you meet such people?
Forget that, I still don't know what I...
I know.
So, what if this didn't work.
I have another idea.
Basically, new age fusion.
This is what I want to cook.
- Indian Chicken Steak. - Yup.
Looks lovely.
Smells terrific.
Have a look.
- Nice flavors. - Yeah.
Food should be easy to cook,
light and as per trend healthy too.
- 'Miso Paneer.' - Yes.
Wait. Let me taste it.
Why don't you begin with this?
Yeah, but fusion food is abundantly available.
But nobody can cook this kind of 'Miso Paneer'.
- Like, pizza has hundred options too. - Right.
Yet a new pizza chain opens every day.
Yes, so true.
It is never the cuisine that's the USP.
It is the chef, my love.
That's what I was trying to drill since morning,
he just doesn't get it.
- It's the chef. - Wow.
You know what?
This really helped.
Love you, guys.
I think, I need to start thinking about, Dhruv's Deli.
- How does it sound? - Double D.
Very nice.
I think, the taste is a little okay.
- Are you Russian? - No, French.
Look, I know you find it weird with your mum leaving,
and 'my work is my life'.
But this is not a hobby, this is called alcoholism.
I have always wanted to do this.
What? Be drunk?
No. Be a wine connoisseur.
Oh fancy.
Now I'm going to try each and every wine.
- All? - Yes.
Then I will grade them.
Then I will write a review,
and I will upload it on a wine tasting website.
- Okay. - And I will become
the best wine critic, India has ever seen.
I think I might be on war with this hobby of yours.
Try it.
Okay, what did you want me to do?
- This, and then this. - Okay.
My god, Vik this is.
How did you manage this?
It is the same piece also.
No, it's like the one we saw at London at a thrift store in 2012.
Correct.
How did you do this, oh my god.
Care for a match?
It's been very long since I beat you in one of these.
- Double or nothing. - What does that mean?
Okay, so whoever scores
- the first goal wins. - Okay.
If I win then we do that thing we talked about.
No chance, we are not doing that tonight.
Hear me out at least.
And by chance, if you win.
I'll do Zia's homework straight for a month.
It is not a bad deal.
- Okay, you're on. - Okay.
Ready.
- Cheating. - Truth.
Roseau is the best.
Nidhi, why can't you rate at a normal level?
It's always extremes for you.
- Miss. Prerna. - Yes, Miss Nidhi.
You are sounding like Mrs. Sushma.
High five.
No.
Tell me something new.
You, are one of the most,
hard working, embarrassment that I know.
Yes, very nice, thank you.
This is for you.
Your dedication is so mind blasting.
- Babes. Stop complimenting me. - Okay.
And give me a solution.
I need my thinking juice.
Oh, I got it, give me your phone.
Give your phone.
Giving you.
Woah.
Your unused leaves, dude.
Just get out of this house.
Get out of this city.
You'll expose yourself to newer things.
Newer wines.
And then you will know yourself better.
- Vacation. - Yes.
- Nice. - Isn't it?
- I'll think about it. - Who is it?
Aalim.
Aalim miyan.
I love that guy.
Yeah, so do I.
Listen to me.
Aalim does not equal to Sagar.
Suraj. Kolkata boy.
- Yes, copy. - Got it.
And you aren't the old Prerna anymore.
- What? - I like the old Prerna.
She gave her best in everything,
and didn't do halfheartedly.
Stop booping me, what are you doing?
You are right.
Okay done. I am going.
I am going to be like 100% Prerna.
The complete Prerna with Aalim.
Okay bye.
Not like that.
Oh shit.
- Yeah. - Stop cheating Vikrant.
Just to be clear.
Zia's math homework this month,
includes BODMAS, fractions,
and areas of polygons.
- Have fun. - Akanksha, listen.
- Enjoy. - Let's take best of 3.
That's only fair.
- This isn't fun. - I am so hungry baby.
No, let's play one more.
- I am very hungry. - Play one more.
I going to the kitchen and getting something.
Let's play best of two. Akanksha, this is really uncool.
Let's play one more. Don't be that person.
I've got it from very far.
- What's with the happy look. - I am so drunk.
But I was very confused, baby.
Why? What happened?
Prerna said.
Drop everything, go for a vacation.
Figure it all out.
Should I?
You know what, I have never said this in my life.
But Prerna might be right.
You go on this vacation,
and be unpredictable.
- Really. - Yeah.
I can be unpredictable.
Please come along, it will be so much fun.
It is tempting.
But?
But I think, this is more of 'you' thing,
and not of 'us' thing.
You know what?
I can do this.
Good rooms with Wi-Fi.
Chinese restaurant too.
First night out, in case I get bored.
All of that.
- You know what? - What?
I think you'll be amazing.
You'll do it.
- Isn't it? - Of course.
Oh Dhruv, baby I am fine now.
Baby. You are always fine.
No.
It's full. I mean, done.
Wow.
Just. Please.
Don't read it in front of me, that's all.
I can't wait to read it.
Bye.
- Hey. - It is really late; I have to go.
