Talk to the camera, dear.
-Madam. -Yes.
-Fine. Yes. -Ready? Smile.
-It's your marriage. -Rolling.
Hi, I am Pooja.
Pooja Reddy.
I'm a foodie.
Alexa, is honey vegan?
From insider.com,
Honey isn't vegan
because it is an animal product that sometimes
involves the mistreatment of bees.
-Pooja. -Yes, mother-in-law.
Check who's at the door, dear.
Ma'am, meat delivery.
You're at the wrong address.
-It's not for this apartment. -Is it the wrong address?
This is a vegetarian community.
If anyone finds you delivering chicken here, it'll be a big issue.
-This is not the right address. -Who is it, Pooja?
He's gone!
-Ma'am, meat delivery. -Meat delivery?
These guys are here to deliver unnecessary things.
-What's this? -Security, are you out of your mind?
How can you allow this person to deliver meat?
-He came in while I was having tea. -Hey.
Did you take a commission from the food delivery guy and allow him in?
-No, sir. -How many times should I warn you?
This is a vegetarian community.
Do you understand?
We should discuss this in the meeting tomorrow.
Sir, at least you tell him.
Security, this is a vegetarian community.
Why did you allow him in?
So, it's very clear now.
It's compulsory for you to add eggs to your diet. Got it?
You're weak, Pooja.
You don't have enough strength.
So, listen to me.
I'm prescribing supplements for temporary use.
But remember, instead of taking these artificial tablets,
I suggest you to have prescribed food.
It's not that simple, Doctor.
I really don't understand why it's so hard to eat eggs at home.
I'll see you next time, Doctor.
Thank you.
You're weak, Pooja.
It's been three years since you got married, right?
Three years and three months.
I think it's enough.
It's not because you like it, right?
It's for your health.
You're just following the doctor's orders. That's it.
Get some medicines if you feel sick.
Eat eggs to get rid of weakness.
It's not that simple, Leela.
You know about Rajeev.
I don't have to tell you about my mother-in-law, right?
We've had these discussions when we were newly married.
Those who eat meat are not dying, arenât they?
We're fine, arenât we?
You too ate meat before your marriage, didnât you?
Is she mad?
She won't change. So, tell me what to do?
You have to talk to him, Pooja.
Rajeev has to understand.
Tell him what the doctor told you.
Convince Rajeev to allow it for a few days.
I'm sure he will understand.
Wait.
Call him. Take it.
Pick up.
Go.
Talk to him.
-Hello. -Do you know what just happened?
What happened? Is everything fine?
Of course, it's okay since I didn't eat it.
-What if I had eaten it? -What?
For the first time, I ordered something to eat.
And they delivered me chicken instead of vegetarian food.
I checked it before eating. Otherwise, it would have been worse.
I turned the vegetarian filter on before ordering the food.
Still, I had to go through this.
Thank God I didn't eat it.
Rajeev, I have come to meet Leela.
-Shall I call you back? -Okay, done.
Tell her that I said hi.
Bye. Take care.
Whatever the doctor said was true.
You really are weak.
You have to do something about that.
Tell me if you have a solution.
I don't need a commentary.
There are many restaurants in Hyderabad.
Visit one restaurant per day and eat there.
Eat it and go home.
Who will know?
Ma'am.
Hey, Rajeev.
Rajeev, I forgot to tell you.
From tomorrow, the baking classes will start at 10 o'clock.
It's on the way. I'll drop you off.
Okay.
They've grown so quickly?
The more careful we are, the sooner the results will show.
Did you get it, madam?
So, the other day I went to meet Dr. Latha.
Why? All okay?
There's nothing to worry about. I just met her for a regular check-up.
But she said that I need to change the food that I eat.
She said that I'm following the wrong diet.
What did she suggest then?
Eggs.
Every day.
Did she suggest eggs even after knowing that we are vegetarians?
What kind of weakness can only be cured by eggs?
No. Even I looked it up on the Internet.
-Eggs will help me recover-- -Pooja, listen.
We don't have to take random advice and change ourselves,
first of all.
Is there only Allopathy?
We have other choices like Ayurveda and Homeopathy.
That's okay. You know--
Actually, I know a guy who can help.
No, no.
There's no disease which cannot be cured by Ayurveda.
Try this.
Take it.
It won't work if you just look at it.
Just have it.
Drink it.
That's it.
Done.
What happened? Pooja. Hey.
-I can't do it anymore, Rajeev. -A little bit is left.
-Finish it. Have some willpower. -Please, Rajeev. It's bitter.
-Forget about the taste. You lack willpower. -I'm feeling better now.
-Pooja, drink it. -stop drinking it.
Yeah, really.
Drink this.
-What's this? -It's the solution Rajeev gave me.
Drink.
Go ahead and drink it.
Did you ask Rajeev to drink this?
He must know how it tastes.
Eating outside because of fear
and drinking this crap are unbearable to me, Leela.
I'm done with these now.
What do you mean?
What about the doctor's suggestion?
I have a solution.
What's that?
What happened, Rajeev? Are you feeling shy?
He is my brother-in-law.
He always talks about unnecessary things.
Ignore him.
Hey, does anyone start with the pickle first?
Start with the rasam.
It will be good.
WHAT? WILL YOU EAT HERE, POOJA?!
If my uncle hears this joke, he will die laughing.
Okay?
Rajeev, paani puri.
Will you eat there?
-Yes. -It's so unhygienic. No way!
Hey, please, please, please! Paani puri.
-You want to eat paani puri. -Yes.
Come with me.
Wow! Look at this.
Looks like it's going to be delicious.
Break it.
A bit of this potato mix.
You can't stop once you try it.
You will want to come here again
This is the real paani puri.
Eat.
Need tissues?
Please give us some tissues.
POOJA, DON'T YOU KNOW WHEN IT'S THE RIGHT TIME TO EAT?
Hello, sir. This is your watchman.
There's a food delivery for you.
-He kept it here. I'll bring it? -Hey.
Who orders food at midnight and that too from my house?
Do we look like demons who eat at midnight?
What should I do with this parcel, sir?
If you feel hungry, you can eat it.
-Otherwise, just throw it. -Should I?
Did you heat it?
-Yes, sir. -Okay.
Wait. I'm coming.
Hey, where are you going?
-Have you had your lunch? -No.
Do you want sambhar?
I don't want it now.
-What about ice cream? -It's not ice cream. It's rice.
I asked you whether you would like to eat ice cream or not.
What about pooris?
Actually, we ran out.
How can we run out of pooris?
The head chef assured me
that there would be three pooris per head.
There are very few people here.
Exactly, sir. We brought a limited number of pooris.
But that madam took seven of them, sir.
-Is it the one in the green sari? -Yes, sir.
-Prepare more. -Okay, sir.
-Hello. -Hi.
-How is it, Bhoomika? -Very good.
-You stay in Bangalore, right? -Yes.
Did you take seven pooris, Pooja?
Yes, Rajeev.
Did you serve them to anyone?
No.
Were they smelling bad? Did you throw them?
No, Rajeev. What happened?
Well...
Are you eating them?
Cool. Carry on. Sorry.
Mahesh, prepare some more.
Hey, Auntie Pooja ate all the pooris!
Good morning. Is everyone here?
What happened, sir? Why are you holding this meeting suddenly?
I'll explain. Please take your seat. I'll tell you.
Look, I have turned 55 now.
I have stayed away from non-veg all my life.
We have some rules in this apartment.
Why? Because we believe in some ideologies.
We all decided to be vegetarian, and we diligently follow that lifestyle.
But I found out someone is eating non-vegetarian food here.
Yes, sir. I could smell something the other day.
That's why I'm warning you to stop it.
If needed, I can call out their name.
If I do that, they will feel embarrassed.
That's why I'm requesting you to stop it now, please.
Let us stop it here.
We're all grown-ups.
So, please don't create this kind of a situation again.
Is it clear?
You can leave now.
Was that about you, Pooja?
-What? -Was he talking about you?
No. It's not about me.
It's okay. You can tell me the truth.
How can you accuse me, Rajeev?
But he was looking at you.
Why was he looking at you?
-Who was looking at me? -What happened, Rajeev? What is it?
Just wait for a minute, Mother.
Tell me.
Okay, fine. Like the doctor said,
I started feeling weak.
So, I tried it once.
But only once.
Yes. I knew it.
She's eating eggs in this house.
What?
Did you really eat eggs, Pooja?
Mother, please try to understand.
-No. No. No. -I just ate it once.
It's not about the number of times you ate it, Pooja.
Did you really have it?
I never had it again, mother-in-law.
Why was it so necessary to consume eggs?
Please try to understand.
Oh, God!
What's this, Pooja?
Why did you lie?
Why are you embarrassing yourself?
What are you hiding from us?
I can't take it anymore, Rajeev.
I wanted to eat eggs, so I ate them.
It's not because of my weakness.
Or because of the doctor's suggestion.
It's my choice.
I knew you won't understand, so I ate them in secret.
We won't understand?
Do we do anything without asking for your opinion?
Did we bother you so much?
All of us sat down and decided to go vegetarian, right?
You remember that, right?
Where is this so-called "my choice" coming from suddenly?
You're hiding something from us, Pooja.
Tell me the real reason behind it.
This is the real reason, mother.
Why don't you understand?
How can you decide what I should or should not eat in my house?
Why are you being so foolish?
What? Foolish?
First of all, this is our house. Not just yours.
I don't understand why you're so selfish.
I didn't mean that, Rajeev.
I don't care what you meant, Pooja.
It's okay if you can't value the choices we made,
but you should have some basic respect for people, right?
I may sound harsh.
But, after a lot of thought, I have decided on our food.
No one should eat eggs in this house anymore.
You can take it as a compromise or a restriction. It doesn't matter.
I don't care.
Please dig out all the eggs you've hidden and throw them out.
Please go.
Go.
Hey, Pooja.
I'm reminding you again.
The event is set for today, though I know you won't participate.
At least, come and encourage me.
Okay?
You remember the venue is near Rajeev's office, right?
