I still can't believe that I got a heart attack.
Sorry.
Why are you apologising? Shush it!
It wasn't a heart attack. It's called a broken heart syndrome.
The doctor just told us…
I have a broken heart?
Dad, your heart muscles got weak because of stress.
We’re both under stress.
I thought I was a goner.
Don’t say that!
Huh young boys these days seem physically fit.
But mentally, not so much.
Look at me. I'm strong both ways.
Enough!
I’m going to whack the heck out of this stress.
Anxiety, panic attacks, all this bullshit... What is this f!@# culture ?
Uh...
Fine. We'll all go somewhere to just chill and relax.
And we’ll come back only when we’re happy. - Okay?
Tell me, where do you want to go?
Shunya.
It's a great place to meditate.
Okay…Perfect!
It feels like we are in heaven.
Be careful. - Dad, hold my bag.
Where are you? - Let's go.
Oh, man!
Come. - This one?
Wow! It's lovely!
Huh, nobody cares. Come!
Wow! This is all that's left for us.

We were supposed to be happy ‘together’...
It’s okay...
I'm glad to see Vishnu healthy.
You have reached the final week of your compulsory therapy.
And I'm so proud of all of you!
You've shown up every time.
Hmm!
This week, We’ll do all the sessions together.
It's time to be completely,
And fully vulnerable.
Vulnerable..?
Vulnerable means sharing your true feelings,
Without any fear. - Okay.
No matter what you say, your family,
will fully accept you for who you are.
And based on these sessions, I'll be able to give you your
Mentally Healthy Family Certificate for the school.
Megha, we are unshakeable now.
Great!
'Good morning. The yoga session will begin in five minutes.'
Hey sis, when will the results of your photography club elections be out?
In a week.
I think Tanya will win.
I've even placed a bet on it.
Why do you think Tanya’ll win?
Because Tanya is pretty.
It's okay! It’s okay!
Daani dear, don't worry.
It's called Pawanmuktasana for a reason.
Yes, continue.
Ma'am, here you go.
‘Kamla?’
You’re going to wash this and give it to another Kamla.
No, ma'am. This is custom-made only for you.
For me? - Yes.
Please change into it. - Okay.
Ma'am, there's swelling in your foot joints, too.
Hmm…
How long will this take?
It's time for my son's protein shake.
I’m the one who has to give it...
Relax your body. Only then you’ll feel better.
Relax.
Sir.
Shunya has given you this private workspace…
Without any noise or disturbance, away from everyone.
What do you mean?
Won’t there be other people, like there are in the other activities?
No Sir. Everyone has their own three-hour time slot.
I'll have to stay here alone for three hours?
Creativity flows freely in solitude.
Creativity is fine,
but it's not fun to create alone.
That's the challenge, sir.
Oh!
Are you challenging me?
Fine then.
Okay. Challenge accepted.
Enjoy, sir.
Hey!
Oh, oh oh!
Sir, there’s still time left.
I forgot my spectacles. - Sir...
I can't see anything.
Welcome to Shunya, sir. How may I help you?
Where's Kamla?
Kamla Karkaria.
Sir, please let me check. - Check?
Sir, please have a seat. Let me check.
It's urgent!
Kamla?
Where are you? Kamla?
Where are you?
Kamla?
Coming!...
Kamla? - Oh!
Kamla? - Be careful, ma'am. It's oily.
You could slip, ma'am. - Yes, I'll be careful.
Kamla?
Sir, you can't shout like that. - Kamla, where are you?
Sir... - Yes!
Good heavens!
Where did you keep my spectacles?
They were on the dressing table. I told you.
I can't find them. I've searched the whole room. Come with me.
Come. Look. Where are they?
Where are my...
I told you. It’s right there.
What the hell woman...
Can't you such small things of mine with you?
“Kept them here, kept them there” God knows where. Give it to me!
That's too much.
For so many years,
You've been living your life according to others.
You adjust yourself according to whatever anyone says.
Amidst all of this, you forgot about yourself.
You couldn't create your own identity.
Dear,
All this, what you’re saying…
Doesn’t feel good to listen...
Okay, tell me, What's the date today?
Hmm...
Which day is it?
Uh...
All days are the same. What difference does it make?
Kamlaji, you're in despair.
Every person has a hope to start their day.
And this hope comes from their personal desires.
Not having that hope is called despair.
For so many years,
You've been ignoring your personal feelings so much
that you've gone numb from the inside.
Your day goes on, in the same way, everyday.
Cooking, drinking tea, sorting laundry...
Amidst all this, you became a wife,
a mother, a mother-in-law, and even a grandmother.
But you couldn't be Kamla…
Dear,
if everyone at home starts to feel
and speak out,
Then, who’ll protect the peace in the house?
And by you, not doing this,
Did peace prevail in the house after all?
Welcome to Shunya.
We’ll start the cycling activity from this point.
We’ll follow the nature trail
in front of you
and enjoy the wilderness.
And yes, after every half a kilometre,
There’ll be drinking water available.
Pooja!
Ashok! Careful! Hey easy!
Don't worry. I know how to ride a cycle.
Let's go.
- Come on.
Oh!
Oh, no!
No!
I'm good, I’m good!
That’ll do…
The place is serene, isn’t it?
Hmm.
I feel lucky to have married you, Pooja.
I feel like, I…
An average guy from Agra stumbled upon the Kohinoor diamond from Delhi.
But I'm sorry…
I couldn't keep you happy.
I'm not a diamond Ashok...
I'm just a normal girl.
We are very different.
But that doesn't mean,
There should be any pressure to change for each other.
I'm fine the way I am.
And you’re also a good guy.
It’s just that...
But, maybe I'm not good enough for you…
I feel very lonely.
And I'm not happy in my marriage, either.
Actually, Ashok is not happy either.
We’re not made for each other.
Pooja my dear, a husband is meant to soothe your loneliness–
- I want to divorce Ashok.
And run our shop.
It looks stunning. - Thank you.
What have you thought of?
Flowers.
Flowers on the whole vase.
Okay. Wow!
Now everyone, slowly open your eyes.
Relax!
Hi.
You are Vishnu? - Yes.
I'm sorry…
I came to know that you got a heart attack?
Yes.
I call it ‘the kiss of death.'
How did you feel seeing death so closely?
I felt it like a nightmare, when I was dying.
I felt as if I was confronting a dark black cloud.
Like a raging storm.
As if it had come to take me…
And I was thinking...
I should run away from it as fast as I can.
You were thinking in your dreams?
I over thought about things and put too much pressure on myself.
That's why I got stressed.
But I meditate. That saved me.
Wow, how long can you meditate for?
About three hours. Fully focused, with zero thoughts.
Impossible…
You can't meditate that long in everyday life.
Do you work here?
You could say that.
I've been meditating for fifteen years.
But how long can you focus without having any thoughts?
It's not about time or focus.
Thoughts will come no matter how hard you try. You can't stop them.
Meditation means facing your thoughts,
and emotions for clarity.
Like, love, jealousy, etc…
And being able to face yourself after feeling them.
That’s meditation.
I don't know what does he think of himself.
I got a heart attack, man. Only I know how I held myself together.
And I'm a meditation master.
Ask my chanting group if you want. Damn baldy!
Everything is not always about you.
Are you crazy?
You've been mumbling nonsense, ever since we got here.
Did you eat bad food or what?
“In our family, there’s no 'mental illness’…
“If anyone needs a mental doctor, it's your family... not ours!”
“You trapped my son!”
“I know it’s you who doesn't want to live here.”
“In their family, everybody lives separately, right?”
“She's trying to copy-paste the same thing here.”
“And you're leaving us because of her!”
“Stop it now! You had to pick today of all days for such drama, eh?”
“Why, Neeti? Do you think I can't even buy a house now?”
“Neeti, what do you want?!”
“What more do you want?” “Girls from broken homes…
“Never build happy families…”
“I'll go alone first as I’ll get family accommodation only after I'm settled…”
“I'll take you after…”
Sometimes I get so angry that I can't take it.
Why?
For thirteen years, I have done everything for this family.
To keep them happy.
And it's never enough.
“She feeds the kids noodles,”
“Causes ruckus, and talks back.'
They have enough love to share amongst everyone…
Except me.
Neeti, we really love you.
Whatever you want, we get it.
Designer bags...
And I have been trying for that house for so long…
Just because you wanted it...
If you were there for me,
I wouldn't need any of these things.
For me, there’s no love or happiness in this house.
Huh, and then they preach about 'family values'.
So you're saying that,
your happiness depends on them?
Yes.
But why did you give them the right over it?
Because once you’re married and go live in someone else's home...
One has to hand over that right.
That's just how it works.
Neeti, are you not happy in this marriage?
I married happily out of my own choice...
This painting you have... That girl in it…
Full of possibility, light, love…
I wanted to be like her.
I don't even know how I ended up here.
“Nam-myoho-renge-kyo”
Are you okay?
Calm down, Vishnu.
I’m calm. I’m calm.
Why are you punishing yourself like this?
How would you know what I'm doing?
Because, once, I was exactly in your place.
Spiritual meditation is meant to awaken.
But, you're using it to block.
You're forcing yourself to focus.
You need to let go, Vishnu.
Let go…
“Nam-myoho-renge-kyo”
“Say hello to your new manager. Sandra Thomas.”
“You’ve been an expert at embarrassing me…”
I think I'm miserable.
Now, what does that mean?
It means someone who is dejected… Sorrowful...
Useless... No, I'm not useless...
But I sure do feel useless.
I feel like I'm just wasting time at the office.
I don't really care much about my job.
It's not my passion.
And at every gathering, you just have to constantly prove,
How you're the most charming,
and the most interesting person on the whole planet…
Constantly fighting for attention…
Goddamn it!
It's too much.
Then why did you take up this job, Vishnu?
Because I wanted to prove that I could achieve something on my own.
“Creativity flows in solitude”
‘Flows’, my foot!
Trying to fool me!
Damn it!
One, two,
three,
four.
And relax…
Daanu…Daanu,
What’s happening? What are you doing?
Here you go.
What kind of house are you making, Daani?
It's so tall... Like a tower.
It’ll collapse in a jiffy… - But, Grandpa–
Sweetheart, a house needs a strong foundation.
Look, this is like Grandpa's childhood home.
It's solid. No one can shake it, right?
No problem, here's what you should do…
Make windows for Grandpa's house.
We'll put them here, in this house.
Make the window.
Good girl.
That thing...
Give it to me.
Daani, why did you… make a round window?
Windows are supposed to be square or rectangular. That’s too much.
We'll need it slightly bigger. Let's remove it from here…
Like this, like this.
What happened, Daanu?
You can build your own house and stay in it alone.
Umm…
After hearing everyone,
I've begun to understand a little.
That there were so many feelings…
Which I never even noticed…
I think I was trapped in my own fear.
There’s a fear that creeps in my heart…
That my kids’ll leave me one day and I'll be all alone…
Again.
You know, when I was six,
my parents sent me
to live with my aunt because she couldn't bear children of her own.
I didn't want to go but… I was a kid, what could I do?
Still, I kept wondering…
Out of the seven siblings,
why was I the one to be abandoned?
Then I thought maybe…
I was the useless one, that’s why.
So, I started my own business.
To show the world that Somnath is not useless.
Then I made my own family…
Thinking that, even if there is no one behind me,
Somnath's family will begin with Somnath himself.
And when Vishnu and Pooja came into my life.
That's when I swore that,
I would never let my children be away from me.
I tried everything… Every trick in the book…
I became selfish, didn't I?
That...
For me,
My family is everything.
I don't even know what I'd do without them…
Where I'd go…
So...
I'm sorry…my children…
What else…can I say?
All I can say is…I’m sorry...
I’m sorry, dear.
I apologize to everyone.
Good evening, everyone...
Welcome to the last day of your Shunya journey...
To make this day special, we've put together a little something for all of you.
I hope we'll meet again. Thank you.
*burp* Dear Lord Almighty!
So beautiful!
Come here.
You should have brought him.
It looks beautiful.
This one.
Come on.
That’s...
My granddaughter’s.
Thank you so much for attending our annual photography competition.
A round of applause for our young photographers.
Like every year, we'll use this occasion for a special announcement.
The President of the Photography Club for this year is…
Daani Karkaria!
Yay! - That's my granddaughter!
She’s a Karkaria product!
Congratulations, Daani! - Thank you!
Daani!
Wow!
Hey!
Look here, let’s take a photo!
And, there you go.
Thank you. - Thank you!
Congratulations, young lady! - Thank you!
I'm so proud of you Daani.
And...
Honestly, I appreciate everyone’s efforts.
I told you, son,
We can do anything for the family.
And we did it. - You said,
‘I’ can do anything for the family.
You’ve said, ‘we’ only today.
It's one and the same!
I'll be back. - Okay.
Thank you for everything you did for Daani,
at school.
We just wish her success.
Thank you! - Bye!
So, how are all of you?
Things must have gotten a bit tough…
After our last session…? - Not at all.
In fact, since Daani became president,
We're all delighted. - Yes!
Neeti…?
It’ll take some time to…
Process.
Yes! So take your time…
No big deal.
Absolutely!
Take your time. Because therapy
is a journey.
And you've all just reached halfway.
Now it's time to heal.
There's no right or wrong in therapy.
Nor there's any good or bad.
Everything is okay.
To struggle with loneliness is okay.
Sometimes,
to do what the heart desires, is okay.
Not being able to identify
…your happiness is also okay.
Not being able to,
prove yourself, is okay.
To choose love over reputation…
Is definitely okay.
Hmm.
I want to tell you all, that things can go anywhere from here.
Life is tricky. What happens here
is mostly talking…
The real test is,
whether one can alter
their everyday life.
Kamla, hand me that dosa.
It's right in front of you… Take it yourself.
Mm-hmm.
It's right in front of me. Yes...
Teji is on leave tomorrow.
And…I have filed my divorce.
She’ll stay here…In her house...
It’s alright…
Everyone's happiness lies in different things.
What can we do?
Do whatever you feel like.
It’s alright…
I'm quitting my job.
What?
Yeah, I just can't do it anymore. You already know that.
It's okay, son…
Do whatever feels right.
No…But we had plans…
The house…
Dubai…What about all that?
Are you taking a new job?
No, I'll figure something out…
Depending on what I like,
after taking some time off.
Hmm.
So, as I was saying...
A few months ago you both asked for money.
to buy your own house, right?
I'm ready to give you that money, happily.
Get your own house.
Yes.
No, Dad, we don't want to live separately.
Even after taking such rigorous therapy,
if we still can't live together, then what's the point, right?
Daksh, do you want to live in a different house?
Daani?
What…?
You want a different house…? - Can we at least
discuss this first?
Neeti, whatever problems we had earlier…We don't have them now.
And where will the money come from?
Pooja just settled the debt on the shop.
Bro, we'll manage if Neeti wants… - I don't want it.
- Excuse me…
Neeti... Come on…
We're above this…
Why is it always that the moment it's about my happiness…
Suddenly your conscience awakens… “We’re above this”.
And you know it yourself.
You genuinely don’t want a separate–
I DO want my own house!
We can let this go, Neeti.
You have no idea what all I've let go.
What are you saying? What have you let go?
Your affair!
Huh, What affair!?
I've read your texts to Sandra.
You cheated on me!
She's getting married.
It’s corporate. This is how it works…
You don't understand the corporate culture…
Cheating is a “culture”?
Are you crazy? - Who THE HELL are you calling crazy?!
Who are you calling crazy?
You’re the one who is crazy!!
Stop it!
What are you doing!?
Nothing is happening to you!
Stop this!
Exasperating all the time...
The whole world is not here just to pat you on the back.
Everything is not about YOU, Vishnu Karkaria!
About me? - Yes.
‘Vishnu needs his protein shake every morning.’
‘Vishnu needs perfectly ironed shirts.’
‘Vishnu didn't get his promotion… Oh God! Poor Vishnu!’
'Vishnu danced with Daani “Ooh praise him in a ballad!”
Now applaud for him!
Now Vishnu wants sex!
Have you ever seen me… When you go down on me?
Have you ever REALLY seen me?
Should I tell you something?
The truth is,
you’ll always be a GOOD FOR NOTHING!
If you were hurting so much…
Why did you take your sweet time to confront me eh?
You were waiting to get the house, right?
Weren't you?
If you’d gotten the house first,
you would’ve never brought this up, right?
I didn't bring it up
because I didn't want to give ‘his holiness’ any stress.
You have turned me into my own mother.
She ruined her whole life running after my father.
And I've already ruined half of mine.
Respected Principal,
This is to ascertain that the Karkarias
have completed their full term of mandatory family therapy
as directed by the school counsellor.
I found them mentally healthy and fit.
Look at this, dear.
How’s it looking?
Looking good…
What’s worrying you now?
Isn’t it a happy thing that,
our son is going to stay with us.
Yes, yes, I'm thrilled.
Our son might be a wimp,
but at least he understands matters of the heart.
He's not a wimp. He's just different.
One and the same thing.
“Their progress has been steady,”
“and I hope they can create a safe family environment,”
“for Daani Karkaria, their daughter.”
I hereby declare that Daani Karkaria not be evicted from school,
as all guidelines have been followed.
Yes!!
Which brings me to my final question…
Until now, you all took therapy for Daani.
From hereon,
Would you like to,
continue therapy for yourselves?
