Meera, I called you here to talk about something important.
Sir, I know you want to say something to me.
Before you say something, I want to say something to you.
You must be quite upset about what happened at the party yesterday.
You must be thinking I changed the party's menu.
But that's not true, sir.
I have nothing to do with it.
I didn't even organise the party.
Mansi asked for my help.
So, I helped her.
I just took the follow-ups. Everything was pre-decided.
I just did what ma'am said.
I just passed on her instructions.
Sir, I had no idea how the contractor
messed up with the menu and gave an Indian menu to Anu.
I genuinely have no idea about it.
Meera, I didn't call you here to demand an explanation.
In fact, I want you to meet someone.
Whom?
Jhende.
Come on in.
'Sir, can I get a glass of water?'
'Of course.'
'A big fraud happened at the office.'
'And that is why we are here to search your house.'
'Hello, ma'am. You were right.'
'We found the cash at Anu's house.'
'You sold our company's quotation to the rival company for some money.'
Meera, you know him, don't you?
'Hide this cash at Anu Sharma's house. - Okay.'
'And this is your payment.'
'No one should doubt you.'
'Don't worry. I will get the work done.'
Meera, I am asking you something.
Do you know this man or not?
No... No, sir. I... I don't know him.
But, Meera, he claims that he knows you.
If I tell you why you met him,
then you might recall it.
He claims that you asked him to hide the cash at Anu's house.
Right?
I am a poor man, sir. I became greedy.
I did as ma'am said.
Ma'am has asked me to hide the cash at Anu's house.
Shut up!
Sir, he... He is lying, sir.
I wish he was lying.
Then, I would have been delighted.
But he isn't lying. You are lying.
You have been lying constantly.
I have evidence to prove your lies.
What evidence?
Look.
The CCTV footage doesn't prove anything.
You are trying to defend Anu.
Whenever something is against Anu, you think it's a conspiracy.
And today, you are believing this stranger and accusing me!
I am not accusing you.
I am stating the truth that got revealed post the investigation.
This man visited Anu's house before the inquiry team reached there.
I got all his information and inquired him.
That's when he revealed your name.
He doesn't have a personal enmity with you.
He won't accuse you for no reason.
But yes.
You do have a problem with Anu.
You have had a problem with her since the day
she came here to return the cheque.
'Your thought process is as cheap as your clothes.'
'Security!'
'Throw her out of here right away!'
'I will leave myself.'
'Sir, you had immense faith in Anu.'
'Look, she broke your trust within a moment.'
'Such a huge amount of money has been found from her house.'
'And this proves'
'that she has committed fraud with Vardhan Group of Companies.'
'She has cheated us.'
'Anu, you know what? You shouldn't be in this office'
'but a drama company.'
'You act really well.'
'But your drama won't last long.'
'Your act has been exposed in front of everyone.'
You may leave.
You didn't stop there.
You continued it even after Anu joined the office.
Most times, you assigned a task to Anu that was extremely difficult
and had a high probability of Anu to fail.
You tried to make sure that she failed.
All those last minute presentations, reports and surveys
were your attempts to make Anu fail.
But Anu didn't fail.
You badmouthed her in my presence many times.
And you badmouthed her in my absence as well.
When you didn't succeed in office politics,
you resorted to office conspiracy.
You purposefully asked Anu to submit the tender file
when someone else could have done it.
You did that so that you could accuse Anu of leaking the quotation.
Accusing her wouldn't have sufficed.
You needed evidence to prove it.
That's why you planted cash at Anu's house.
Here's the truth.
Anu didn't leak the quotations to the rival company.
You did.
You wanted to frame Anu.
You worked day and night towards this company's success.
Today, your hatred
compelled you to destroy the same company!
I heard people go to great lengths for love.
But today, I got to know
people go to great lengths out of hatred as well.
You didn't stop there.
You crossed another limit today.
You changed the list of the catering order.
You didn't want Anu's family to overcome their financial crisis.
You were ready to lodge a police complaint against Anu.
Tell me what I should do to you now.
Sir... - I don't want any explanation.
I gave you a chance to speak the truth and explain yourself.
But you didn't admit the truth.
There's no point of doing it now, Meera.
My doubt has been cleared.
I am shocked to see this girl standing before me.
What's the matter with you?
The Meera I knew
was someone I could trust blindly as she wished well for everyone.
You valued work ethics and team spirit.
You worked hard with utmost honesty.
You...
You have changed now.
Tell me what happened.
How did you lose yourself?
Meera, your silence indicates
that I have lost the old Meera.
It is the biggest loss of my life to lose that honest employee.
Meera, you haven't lost in this.
I have lost.
Meera, I lost a friend and a companion today.
I lost a partner and a confidant.
I have lost you, and you are to blame for it.
I don't know what to say to you.
I am both, angry and disappointed.
When I used to face a problem earlier,
I would rely on you to solve it.
But today...
Today, I feel really alone, Meera.
Sir... - Meera, I need time to process my emotions.
Please leave from here.
Please leave me alone for some time.
Hear me out for once.
I said leave!
Here you go. All in all...
After subtracting the expenses,
we have 500,300 rupees.
Give it to me. I will keep it in the cupboard. - Here you go.
May I come in?
Sir, come on in.
Come in.
Be seated.
No. I am not here to sit.
I am here to collect the compensation amount.
Is it ready?
Here. - Is it 500,000 rupees?
If you have a doubt, you can count it. - No. It's okay.
You have paid the compensation to me.
Now, I will withdraw the police complaint. Okay?
What is the compensation for?
One pays compensation when one causes losses.
Yes. My shop got burnt because of him.
All the goods got burnt. I incurred huge losses.
He will have to pay the compensation.
Or else, he will get jailed.
Are you really so naive? Or are you pretending to be naive?
As you know, my dad's shop didn't get burnt by accident.
It was planned by someone.
The one who planned it has been arrested.
Who is it?
Don't you know that?
Your partner-in-crime, Raghupati himself.
He didn't do this all by myself.
He was in cahoots with someone else. Do you know who it is?
Who is it? - Look into the mirror. You will find out.
And yes.
500,000 rupees isn't the compensation.
This is the first instalment to free our shop that we mortgaged.
And yes, quit the habit of being addressed as the boss.
From now on, Mr Sharma won't address you as boss.
That's because he will be the owner of the shop.
What did you say at the police station?
You said that you don't trust Mr Sharma.
The entire Chandni Chowk looks up to Mr Sharma for his honesty.
If there's anyone who is dishonest here, it's you!
You deceitful man!
You always go back on your word.
That's why you will sign the papers this time.
Give it in written
that we paid you the first deposit of 500,000 rupees.
Going forward, you have no rights to the shop.
We are the owners.
You better stop daydreaming.
I won't do anything as such.
Alright then. I have an idea.
We will inform the police
that you were in cahoots with Uncle Raghupati.
You must be missing him.
No problem. We will get you jailed so that you can give him company.
Think about it.
What if we inform the insurance company along with the police?
You won't get the compensation. But yes!
You will get a severe punishment.
Think about it. Do you want the first deposit for the shop?
Or do you want to get jailed?
Not like that.
We can't trust you.
What if you go back on your word?
You must give it in written.
After all, you are not as honest as Mr Sharma.
You are a shameless man.
Anu.
Go and bring the papers made by our lawyer.
Yes, ma'am.
Here are the papers.
They state that we have paid the first deposit of the shop to you.
From now on, you have no right to my dad's shop.
You want the money, right?
Here, sign the papers.
Think about it. Either you sign these papers.
Or you will have to sign the bail papers at the police station.
Well, I got to know
the police handed you the saris that were found at Raghupati's warehouse.
What saris are you talking about?
The saris that you and Uncle Raghupati had hidden from us.
But those saris belong to me. So, I should keep them.
Didn't you claim for those saris' money from the insurance company?
If we tell the truth to the insurance company,
you will land into trouble.
Mom, didn't we fetch the number of the insurance company?
What was the number? Hold on.
0124...
'Yes, ma'am. Tell us how we can help you.'
Look. They are asking me how they can help me.
In fact, I am going to help them.
Here's the thing.
I don't want the saris.
Keep it. You can keep everything.
Sir, wait a minute.
Sir, I used to respect you a lot.
But you shouldn't have joined hands with Raghupati
and destroyed the shop.
You not only burnt my shop,
but you also burnt the legacy of my dad.
You have committed a grave sin.
What are you waiting for?
Get out of here! And don't you dare step into our house again!
Why are you getting sad?
Since the time our shop got burnt, I haven't been able to forget it.
Dad.
Do you remember you once told me the story of a caterpillar?
Initially, the caterpillar faced a lot of hardships and difficulties
while trying to break through its cocoon.
But without the hardships,
it wouldn't have learnt to fly.
In the same way, dad, a problem was needed for our long-term betterment.
Dad, don't worry at all.
We will make sure the shop looks as good as new.
We will paint the shop.
We will install new curtains and new fans.
And if you insist, we will get an AC installed as well.
On the rack, we will place Dhoop Chhav Saris,
Bandhani saris, Kanjivaram saris,
and Rajnandini saris.
And we will place a new chair at the counter.
You sit on the chair and give orders.
'Kevalram, get the saris from the rack and show it to the customer.'
But how will that happen?
We gave all the money we had to my boss.
So what? We still have the saris.
We will sell them and make money.
It means that I will become the owner of my shop again.
Yes, sir. - No one will shout at me or scold me.
I had almost lost the legacy of my dad and my grandpa.
Now, I will be able to take it forward.
Now, I will be able to call the shop
as my own.
Pushpa. - Yes.
Anu. - Yes.
I would like to make tea for you as a gesture to thank you.
Make tea!
The two of you go to great lengths for me.
Can't I make tea for you?
Please make it. I can't wait to have it.
Be seated. I will be right back.
'I need to thank someone who made all of this possible.'
'And that's sir.'
I can't believe it. How can Meera stoop so low?
She has worked so hard for this company.
I don't understand why she hates Anu.
A person's mind is quite complicated, Arya.
At times, one doesn't understand their own actions.
You are right, mom.
But how do I tell the truth to Anu?
I don't want Anu to give in before Meera. But I also don't want
Anu to lose respect for Meera either.
Arya, you will have to tell her the truth.
Arya, Anu has every right to know who her culprit is.
You are right, mom.
And she also deserves
to be brought back to work with respect.
She should get her job
and her position back.
You are absolutely right, mom.
Anu has been wronged a lot.
But not anymore.
Wait and watch
how I bring her back to the office with utmost respect.
