"It's extremely kind of you." " Very magnanimous" "If the priest could give us the go ahead now" ""With Allah's wishes, the alliance is sealed"" "The fifteenth of this month is auspicious for the wedding" ""Priest, when you have given us your approval, why the delay?"" ""What say, Sadaqat Miyan?" " You're right"" "He's ready too" " Grandpa... grandma has sent for you" "Please excuse me." "I'll be back soon" "Isn't it nice...?" "First class" ""Before you fix a date, decide on the amount of the mehr (compensation)"" ""Wife, that can be decided even during the wedding"" "You're worried for no reason." " Things like this... can lead to complications." " All right." "I'll see" "So what have you been telling my brother?" ""Nawab saheb, what is the matter?" " My wife says..."" "it would be good if we decided on the amount of the mehr right now" ""Certainly, why not?" "Whatever the priest says"" ""Very well." "You can decide on 101,000 as the mehr"" "I agree." " Very well then" ""Congratulations, sir"" "Congratulations" "Please come" ""Welcome, Liyaqat"" ""May you be happy, son"" "Someone sweeten his tongue!" ""Congratulations, son"" ""Congratulations, Naseem"" ""Thank you, thank you"" ""Congratulations, sister-in-law"" ""Kamla, the wedding date of my daughter has been decided"" ""Why don't you think about yourself?" " I have, sister-in-law"" ""I swear, a dashing prince will come along..."" "and take me away as his bride!" "Praise be to Lord Rama..." ""Laxmi, the telephone"" "Can't you see I'm busy?" "Anjali dear... will you see whose call it is?" ""But, mother!" "I have only two hands!"" ""Aditya, pick up the phone." " But I'm getting ready"" "Neelima!" "See whose call it is!" ""I can't see anything, sister-in-law!"" "Where are you going?" "Stay here!" "God!" "I'm the one who's got to do everything in this house!" "Hello." "Who...?" ""Grandpa, call for you"" "The Pandit and the Nawab are such thick friends... they once went into the farm to steal sugar-cane... they were caught when the Pandit's plait came into sight" "The Pandit fled and the Nawab was beaten up with sticks" "Nawab!" "It's ages since I heard your voice... you didn't even send word or call in all these days" ""Forgive the misdeamonour, my friend"" "But I'm going to tell you something today that will..." ""One minute, one minute"" ""You have fixed Naseem's wedding, isn't it?"" "Hey!" "How did you get to know?" ""Your voice revealed it all, my friend"" "And who else would know?" "She's my daughter too" ""Give the telephone to her." " Sure, but listen to me"" "This marriage is a hurried affair." "The wedding's taking place in a week" "But all of you are going to be here tomorrow." "That's it" "Tomorrow?" " Why?" "Are you going to make excuses even for your daughter's wedding?" ""Here, talk to her"" ""Salutations, Uncle"" ""Congratulations, my child!" "Heartiest congratulations"" "Tell your father that we're all coming to Lucknow immediately" ""And one moment, dear." "Talk to my wife"" ""Naseem, my child!" "So you've grown up so much?"" ""Many congratulations, dear"" ""Thank you, aunt." "How are you?"" "I'm going to be angry if you don't attend my wedding" "No anger at all" "Just you wait and see how I'm going to dress you up as a bride" "Hello." "Anjali here" "Now tell me something." "Which moron has fallen for you...?" ""Even if he's a moron, he's far more handsome than brother Aditya"" "Give that to me!" "Nice to know that another man's going to hang in marriage!" "What happened to you...?" "Where are you going?" ""Where am I going?" "I'm right here." " No, not you"" "Could you give the phone to aunt?" "Mom wants to have a word with her" "One minute" "Why're you laughing?" "You can't be thrown out at any cost!" " Why?" "What have I done now?" "What do you wear with a shirt?" " Trousers" "Where are yours?" ""What's happening there?" " Nothing, just a bit of fun"" ""Do come soon." "With God's grace, the wedding will take place in style"" "Do bring Arjun along too." "It's years since I saw him" "Of course." "I will certainly bring Arjun along this time" "God bless you" "So you're taking Arjun along too?" " Absolutely" "It would be nice to see Arjun around at home too" "May I ask where the your pampered son was and is right now?" "He wasn't at home even last night." " Well..." ""Of course, he came home." "I fed him the food..."" ""he ate so much!" "I mean, he ate so little..."" "It's a favour that you don't forget your own meal every night" ""Does anyone else have anything to say?" " Father, I..."" ""No, not a word from you." "The two of you..."" "are the typical brother-in-law and sister-in-law from the movies" "Let me tell you something" "All this pampering from you is going to spoil him even more" "He loafs around all day" "Hey fatso!" ""Fatso, open the door!" "Has Hitler gone to bed?"" "I won't." "Grandpa has asked me not to" ""Open up, please!"" "All right." "But promise not to call me fatso again" "And you won't pull my shorts in everyone's presence" ""All right, I promise." "Now open the door"" "Not like that." "Make a request." "I'll consider it" ""Monty dear... will you be kind enough to open the door, please?"" "That's the way!" ""All right, son." "You have the upper hand today"" "Fatso!" " Grandpa!" ""Hi, Uncle"" ""What's happening here?" "This is no time for studies, is it?"" ""I'm going to bed, okay?"" "So you're back?" "At last you thought of us!" ""It's the cursed memory problem, sister-in-law"" "I was delayed finding the house" ""Really?" "Arjun, you're such a smooth talker"" "I'm fed up shielding you from your father" "Why else have I brought you home as my sister-in-law?" ""So that you cover up for me and I..." " Enough, enough"" "Why're you still awake?" "Isn't brother Akash at home?" ""No, he's out on official work"" "Official work...?" "On a Sunday?" ""That too, in the middle of the night?" " So?"" "Sister-in-law..." "there sure is something fishy!" "You mean Akash's upto something...?" "He's so shy even with me!" "What would he do outside the house?" "I see." "So that's what you think about my brother?" "All right." "Let him come." "I'll tell him everything" ""There's no point talking to him, Neelima"" "We must find a female monkey for him" "Aren't the two of you enough?" " What?" "You call us monkeys?" "What else?" " Wait there!" "I remember... how I shed tears quietly" "Uncle!" "Uncle..." ""stop it, please"" ""Know what?" "If you sing like that, we'll only have to shed tears"" ""Feelings, emotions..." "the strong point of music"" ""Once you hit the notes, you strike at the hearts!"" ""Tears flow from the eyes, love blossoms!"" "Looks like you haven't struck at anyone's heart with your notes" ""There were thousands of them, damn it!"" "But I'm the one who had a weak heart" "Liquor...?" " Liquor?" "What liquor?" "Who drinks here?" " What's this?" "That's a medicine to give hope and melody to my music" "Give that bottle to me!" " Uncle..." "I can only give you the medicines." "Not the liquor" "Hasn't the doctor forbidden you?" " What is it with the doctor?" "He has a certificate to deny people" ""In any case, I'm very upset"" "No liquor for ten days from tomorrow" "No liquor?" "What for?" "We've got to go to Lucknow to attend Usman's daughter's wedding" "You mean I'm going to be all alone for ten days from tomorrow?" ""Stop dreaming, laddie!" "You're going to Lucknow with us"" ""No, Uncle." "I'm not going." "This is my time for fun"" ""Have all the fun you want to, my son"" "But come back home on time every night" "I could spend my life without any medicines" ""But it's difficult to spend even a day without seeing you, my son"" "Uncle!" "Go on now." "Go" ""Sister-in-law, you're thinking about Arjun, aren't you?"" "Yes." " Just don't worry about him" "I've had a word with Suman." "She'll carry food for him every day" "I even gave Arjun 2000 rupees." " What?" ""Why?" "Is that less?" " Neelima, I gave him 3000 rupees too!"" "What 3000 rupees are you talking about?" ""Aditya, I didn't even know that Neelima gave him 2000 rupees"" "And I gave Arjun 3000 rupees too!" " So he fooled you again?" ""Where has he fooled me?" "He's my brother-in-law, after all"" "I'm talking about myself!" "He took 4000 rupees from me!" "Kids... this is for the small kids and this is for the grown up ones" ""It would have been fun to have Arjun with us, isn't it?"" "But he's going to have fun even here." "I gave him 5000 rupees" "What?" "The train from Mumbai to Lucknow is leaving from platform number 2" "Arjun's here!" "Get in!" "I knew you'd come" "It isn't easy to stay all alone without anyone" "You're getting it all wrong" "You perhaps think I'm going to the wedding with you" ""Not at all, sorry!" "You're getting it all wrong"" ""Actually, Teddy has gone to Lucknow with his friends"" "And I'm going to him." "Now that I've met you folks..." "I think I'll travel with you." " I didn't have your ticket cancelled" ""It's just another way of getting his hands on some money, father"" ""Hey!" "I can return everyone's money, okay?"" "All right." "Go ahead" "Enough." "Now skip the drama" "I knew he wouldn't ever come on time." "He's so late!" "Have patience." "The train could be late too" "Exactly!" "They're making us wait so much!" "We're the ones who are expecting the guests." "Why are you worried?" ""I swear, sister-in-law!" "Let's decide this once and for all"" "Am I just your neighbour or part of your family?" "Never mind!" "I know who you're waiting for" "Here's my friend!" "My dear friend!" ""Hello, Uncle"" ""Enough, enough"" ""The princely states are no more, but you haven't changed, my friend"" "The fragrance of Lucknow!" "As they used to say..." ""The fragrance of this city, its soft, delicate nights..."" ""I went all over the world." "But I didn't find another Lucknow"" ""How are you, Parveen?" " God is kind." "Everything is okay"" "But you said Arjun would surely come with you this time" "Where is he?" " He has come indeed" ""But he has gone to his friends, directly from the station"" "He'll join us later" ""Come to me, dear"" ""How's Anjali?" "You didn't forget her behind, did you?"" ""This is amazing, Uncle." "How can I forget Anjali?"" "Here she is" "What's happening here?" "Raj!" "My brother!" " Brother Usman!" ""How have you been?" " It's the heart, you see"" ""Blow hot, blow cold"" "Come on inside" ""I swear!" "So many years have passed by, while I waited for you to blow hot"" "You made me wait so much." " Kamal..." "I've told you so often to call me Simran." "Not Kamal" "Where is my dear Naseem?" ""Come to me, my child." "How are you?"" ""Greetings." " Greetings, dear"" "Now see what gaiety your uncle brings to your wedding" "That's something!" ""How are you, my child?" " I'm okay"" "Didn't I tell you there wouldn't be any anger?" "We're all here" ""Could you step aside, Naseem"" "Could you tell us how he is?" "Who?" " Don't pretend!" "Tell us about your groom." " I'll tell you how he is" "He's slightly fat." " Slightly short" ""No, he's quite tall." " Like a lamp-post?"" "Does he have red lips?" " Must be chewing betel-leaf!" ""Enough." "Don't tease her anymore." " Look at them, aunty!"" "I know." "He's the most lovable one" ""Teddy, you're a strange guy." "You came to Lucknow from Mumbai..."" "and all our plans..." " We'll have fun here!" "The name is Teddy and I make merry" "Find in Lucknow a lady." "Life will become steady" ""Are there any good-looking girls here in Lucknow, Teddy?"" "I haven't seen a single beautiful girl since I've arrived" ""You ought to possess the eye, my friend!"" ""Yes." "You ought to possess the eye, sir"" ""And in just five rupees, you'll get to see the whole of Lucknow"" "And what if we don't?" " You still keep your eye... and I get to keep the five rupees." "Take a look" ""Okay, okay"" "Give that to me" ""That's lmam Bagh." "It was build in 1784, by Akak-Ud-Daulah"" "There's something special about its strong structure" "And that's the famous maze palace" "It has more than a hundred doors." "Isn't it beautiful?" "Once you're lost in it... it's impossible to get out" ""So you've seen Lucknow, haven't you?" "Let me have the five rupees"" "Here I go!" "Pay him the money!" "Here you are" "Can I help you?" "This gentleman has been trying to cross the lane for a long time" "It appears that you are not from this city" ""No, I'm not." "I've come from Mumbai"" "Know what?" "Give me those bags" ""After you've helped him across, you can collect your bags"" ""If you really want to help, why don't you help him cross the road?"" "You're a strange girl!" "I want to help you... and you're asking me funny questions" "I was told that the people of Lucknow are very cultured" "Don't you start bad-mouthing Lucknow!" "You haven't landed from the skies either." "You're only from Mumbai" "I don't need your help" "Don't hurt the ego of someone from Mumbai!" "What are you going to do?" "What...?" "But..." " Keep fighting" "I'll be on my way" ""By the way, thanks for holding my hand!"" "So you can see...?" "The Lucknowi gentleman!" "Not his mistake either" "Who wouldn't want you to hold his hand?" "Can't help it." "This is how I've always been" ""Pandit, this hookah isn't meant for you"" ""It's ages since you left Lucknow." " You're right, my friend"" "One doesn't find these things in Mumbai" ""With just a cigarette, we are transported to the heavens"" ""Absolutely right, brother!"" ""I mean, that's what I've heard." "I don't smoke..."" ""What do you think, my child?" "I won't be able to recognise you?"" "It's Khushboo" "I'm very angry with you." " Why?" "It's so long since I arrived and I get to see you only now" "That's a grave injustice with me!" "I had gone to get a welcome gift for you" "And you say you're angry with me?" ""Where are the others?" " They're waiting for you, dear"" "I'll go and see them." "Bye" "Aunt..." " Where have you been?" "You've arrived and that takes care of all the problems" ""Oh yes, there won't be any problems"" "I've told Akash to get me the whole lot of Shahnaz Husain's products" ""Yes, I've got everything for you." "Here's your face-pack... take it"" "The moisturiser." "Everything" ""Brother, what are you doing here among the womenfolk?"" "I've also been wondering what I'm doing here" ""Well, Naseem is getting married now"" "It's time you got married too" "Allah!" "My marriage's not happening." "Only because of Neelima" ""Else, you were the one I wanted to marry"" "Shut up!" "You talk any nonsense!" "Hey!" "Where's your ear-ring?" "Must've fallen somewhere." " She can't take care of anything!" "Go and find it" "Why're you scolding her?" ""Not to worry, Khushboo." "I'll get you new ear-rings"" "I'm so hungry!" " So what would you like to eat?" "Anything you have cooked." " Really?" "Let's go then" "What...?" "I've got some kebabs for you" "I've been told not to eat." "I can't" "Liar!" "I know how you love kebabs." "Here you are" "But I love only kebabs..." ""What did you say?" "Have one, please"" "All right" "What's happening here?" ""So you're enjoying the kebabs, I see"" "Good for you." "But there could be an increase in the cholesterol" ""But when someone feeds you with so much of love, Raj Uncle..."" "Thanks for coming to my rescue!" "She was really stuffing me!" "The pot calling the kettle black?" ""Uncle, I can help you if you wish"" ""Now don't start that, please!"" ""Tell me something, Uncle"" "Who helps you in Mumbai when you do things on the sly?" ""I have my tiger, my prince!" "Arjun!"" "But where is he?" " He's a tiger... and you don't see a tiger just like that!" "He's the king of his world!" "Arjun!" "Hi... recognise me?" " You?" "Even here?" ""Can't help it." "Once I make up my mind, I go for it"" "That's how I've always been." " What did you say?" "Nothing" "Excuse me..." "I can really help you here" "Don't you know?" "This is modern art" "So what?" "I'm no antique either" ""Listen to me, Miss Modern Art!" "I know a bit about art too"" ""Whether the art is modern or traditional, you must learn to appreciate it"" "Look at this one." "It appears to be just a spray of colours... but there are so many stories hidden in it" "You do say interesting things" "Can't help it." "That's how I've always been" "What...?" " Nothing much" "Don't these paintings suggest they're part of a love-story?" "The love-story of a painter?" "And a girl as lovely as the roses" "Her mesmerising eyes... her enchanting smile... and then... the curls in her long hair..." "And...?" " And what else" "They must've fallen in love" "Are you really buying something or are you just killing time?" "I've got what I wanted anyway" "You're taking so much of time!" "You intend to buy the whole gallery?" "And who is he?" " He...?" "He's the new tourist guide in Lucknow." " I see" "Shall we...?" "Tourist guide!" "She has stolen my heart... my heart" "I swear... in just a meeting... she has given me all the ecstasy" "She has stolen my heart... my heart" "I swear... in just a meeting... she has given me all the ecstasy" "The first ever time... her eyes expressed the love" "Her eyes expressed her love" ""I can't ever forget her confession"" "that shower of love... my sweetheart's desires..." "God Almighty..." "She has stolen my heart... my heart" "Awake..." ""awake, on a sleepy night..."" ""on a sleepy night, awake..."" ""dreaming beautiful dreams, wide awake..."" "those heart-beats..." ""the tossing and turning, that ache..."" "God Almighty..." "He has stolen my heart... my heart" "I swear... in just a meeting... he has given me all the ecstasy" "I swear... in just a meeting... she has given me all the ecstasy" "If I could only find a Queen..." " Of hearts?" ""Of hearts, of course." " Here it is"" ""Give the telephone to Arjun, please." "This is his mother speaking"" ""Of course, auntie"" ""So what's happening, mother?" " What do you mean by what's happening?"" ""I mean, hasn't the marriage been solemnised yet?"" "There are 4 days to go for the wedding." "And you're coming here tomorrow" ""You get that?" " I'll be bored stiff, mother!"" ""I don't want to listen to anything!" " Give me the telephone, auntie"" ""I told you, I'm not interested in the marriage!"" "You're not getting married yourself" "Do you have any idea how angry father is with you?" "Who's this?" " This is Khushboo speaking" ""Khushboo...?" "Hi!" "Oh yes, I'll certainly come"" ""For a little while, okay?" " Do come here at least"" "I'll come for a little while!" ""Let him come here, aunt." "Leave the rest to me"" "Listen..." "Speak!" " Listen..." "Speak!" "Guess what I saw yesterday." " What?" "I saw a dream." "Of someone my own" ""Guess what else I saw." " A dream, of course!"" "I saw the clouds clearing" ""And from behind the clouds, I could clearly see the face..."" "of the one calling out to me" ""Did you see "Dilwale Dulhaniya..."" "Guess whose face it was." " Shah Rukh's" "Nut!" "It was your face." "Mine...?" "What is it with my face?" "Magic... the magic of your looks" "It's on my eyelids" "One little blow from my mouth and all your dreams will come true" "So go ahead..." "shut your eyes!" "Lord!" "If only we could unite and our dreams be fulfilled!" "Where has he gone...?" "Flown the coop!" "Flown!" "My son!" "I'm delighted to see you!" "Sit down" ""Salutations, aunt." " Bless you, son." "Sit down"" ""So you've found the time to come here, Prince?"" ""Forget it." "He's here after all, isn't he?"" "He was scared he'd have a lot of work to do at the wedding" ""Listen, you're going to stay here now, okay?"" "Go to your room." " Where?" "To the right or left?" ""Right or left, anywhere you want to." "Feel at home, my boy!"" ""Go and freshen up, son." "Dinner is about to be served"" "You...?" "You dare!" "How did you get here?" " From the door" "Have you gone mad?" " Ever since I've seen you" ""Go away!" "If father sees you, he'll kill you"" "First tell me what you're doing in Uncle Usman's house" "Allah!" "You've taken my father for your uncle!" "Father...?" "Are you Chutki?" "Haven't you freshened up yet?" "And your room's over there" ""Sister-in-law, do you know him?"" "Khushboo!" "Haven't you recognised Arjun?" ""Arjun, hurry up and get ready." "Everyone's waiting for you downstairs"" "Look how lovely this is" "Had someone told me earlier..." "I'd have brought some jewellery from my friend's shop" "We'd have got a fat discount of at least 20 or 25 per cent" ""Tell me something, young man"" "What shop in Lucknow that will give a discount to you and not to me?" ""Uncle Usman, my friend Teddy knows a friend who has a shop"" ""Oh no, he's talking rubbish." " Oh yes, plain rubbish"" "Uncle!" ""I think we must give Arjun a chance." " Oh yes, we must"" ""What...?" " No, we mustn't"" "We have so much to buy." "So what's the harm if we save some money?" ""Shall we go, Arjun?" " Why not?"" "We'll be back soon" "Thanks" ""Sister-in-law, come on"" "Where's the need to call sister-in-law?" "We must always take the opinion of our elders in such matters" ""I say, Arjun, I had no idea of your hidden talent"" "This is wonderful!" " So you're wiser now" "Shall we...?" "Driver..." ""shall we go?" " Let's go, Arjun"" "Hello... how are you?" " Very well." "Sit down" "We have a wedding in the family." "Show us something nice" ""There's no dearth of money." "Am I right, Khushboo?"" "What would you like to buy?" " Arjun... talk to him about the discount first." " Of course we'll have it!" "Treat it like your own shop" "Uncle...?" ""Show us some necklaces and arm-bands, please"" "Uncle Salim...?" " Salim?" "But I'm Yusuf Khan." " Greetings" ""Had my brother a son, he'd surely have called me uncle"" "Wonderful!" " Thank you" ""Had my brother a son, he'd surely have called me uncle"" "But I haven't even a brother." "So where comes this nephew from?" "Wonderful!" "Splendid!" " Thank you" "Go and get on with your work" ""Well?" "You're not looking for a discount, are you?"" "How did you get to know?" "I've met so many nephews like you." "You're not getting any discount" ""Don't ruin the show, Uncle!" "It has to do with a girl"" "Love and romance...?" " Yes" "So you want a discount?" " Yes" "You'll have to listen to my poetry." " Poetry?" ""If someone is in love, why must it bother me?"" "But who's going to pay for the holes in my pocket?" ""Uncle, I'll pay for the discount"" ""But give me a discount in their presence, please"" "Sure?" " Promise" "All right" ""Nice jewellery, isn't it?" " Yes, quite good"" ""Arjun, I hope you've talked to him about the discount"" ""What is all this worth?" " No tension, sister-in-law"" ""Everything is all right." " Will this bracelet be nice, Arjun?"" "Anything looks good on you" "Here's the bill." "Please make the payment over there" ""Here's the bill, Uncle"" ""With the discount, it comes to 40,000 rupees, mister"" "I'll settle the bill." "You can go ahead" "Here you are." "Thank you very much" "Where do you think you're going?" ""I'm a man of my word." "Thanks, Uncle"" "Extend your hand" "Why?" " Extend it" "What's this?" " The amount of the discount" ""By the way, that shop belongs to a friend of my father"" "But this money..." " Don't try to act too smart" "Keep the money" "As for your attempts to try and impress me..." "I'm already impressed." " What are you impressed with?" "Your madness!" "Will you cure the madness then?" "Let me think... the fee's going to be pretty expensive" "I agree" "Never mind." "There's no need to get very romantic" "I must leave now." " One moment!" "Why do you always refer to yourself in royal style and me as a commoner?" ""I'm a Nawab's daughter, after all"" "Uncle... a betel-leaf of Lucknow for you" ""Talk softly!" "If my brother overhears you, I'll have to face the music!"" "Give that to me And get going." "Very well" ""I swear, you are the one who goes into hiding"" ""Or else, I hate making you pine"" "It's okay." "We in Lucknow know what those chewing a betel-leaf want to say" "People chat for hours with betel-leaf in their mouths" "Go ahead and talk" "Forget about that and tell me..." "why do you keep running away from me?" "But I don't run away!" "Isn't that what you were saying?" "Didn't I get it?" ""There's so much to do at the wedding..."" ""that's what you said, right?"" "I got it right!" "But let me tell you something" ""I can't wait anymore." "Besides, what will my folks say?"" "What...?" "Next year?" ""I swear, in a year's time, I get no less than half a dozen proposals"" "But I know..." "you will never break my heart" ""How will he break your heart anyway?" "It's no cup of clay, is it?"" ""It isn't made of glass, is it?" " I won't make any mistake this time"" "I'll talk to father right now." "In any case... won't it be better to have two weddings instead of one?" ""Why aren't you applying any henna, Khushboo"" "I don't want any henna." "As if I'm dying to get married!" "But I do want to get married." "So let me have some henna applied" "Go!" "You womenfolk are applying henna and no one even tells me?" "Shouldn't you be taking the opinion of the expert in the family?" ""Don't tell me, Arjun!" "You know how to apply henna?"" "But of course!" "I haven't done a course in designing for nothing" ""Actually, sis-in-law, everything keeps changing with the times"" "Designs keep changing too." " Really?" "You're such an expert?" "Oh yes." "Every hand has an identity of its own" ""Some are lean, some are fat, some are straight, some twisted"" "Some that bind and some that break" ""One design on every palm isn't done, am I right?"" "Look at this palm" "The texture of the skin" "Look at this mound" ""The delicate, long fingers." "Wow!"" "Are you going to keep blabbering or even apply the henna?" "I'll apply the henna in such fantastic style... any girl would agree to marry me!" " I swear!" "Make sure the bridegroom takes the bride away!" "Where are you going?" "Apply the henna on my palm first!" "You will have to prove that you can apply the henna now" "Please!" "I've got to go." "Please!" "You apply it then." "Go on" ""Here you are, Khushboo." "And I've been looking for you"" "Why?" " Why...?" "Well... just like that" "Nut!" "Tell me that you were missing me" ""Yes, I remember." "Everyone's attending a dinner"" "So I wondered whether you and I could go to the zoo" "Allah!" "Couldn't he suggest a romantic dinner!" "Did you say something?" " No" "Let's go then." " Let's go" "Here's your juice" ""Not a very interesting place, is it?"" "Don't try to pretend!" "And there's no need to look helter-skelter!" "Pretend...?" "I'm the poor sucker!" "You're always surrounded by people at home" "How was I to know it was so difficult to take you out?" "So why did you bring me out?" " To show you the Lucknow zoo" ""When you talk such nonsense, you look very cute"" "Know what?" "I've begun to like all this now" ""The atmosphere, the folks here and the rituals of marriage"" ""All this fun and revelry..." " What do you mean "now"?"" "How did you feel earlier?" "I was only wandering around till now" "I always thought I was in search of someone" "That there was a dream I was chasing" "And now I think..." ""that dream, that face..."" "I can see it all very clearly" "Allah!" "So very romantic!" "Say something more then" ""All right, but I don't know whether you will be able to understand it"" "What?" "What were you saying?"

"I've prepared the breakfast." "There's no need for you to eat outside" "I hope you remember our programme of Haji Ali this evening" "But..." " No buts" "We're going out this evening." "And that's it" "I must leave now" ""At least wish me luck." " Oh yes, all the best"" "Khushboo... one moment" "Where have you been?" "I've been waiting for you" ""As far as I remember, you had promised to come to Haji Ali"" "Yes." "Everything is going wrong" ""How many more excuses will you make, Arjun?"" "Let's concede you hold something against me" "But I'm human too" "A girl waits for you in a city she doesn't know and you..." ""Ever since I have arrived, you have not even spoken properly with me"" "There has to be a reason." "I have every right to know" "There's nothing of the sort." "May we go now?" "It's so strange" ""Back in Lucknow, you didn't want to spend a moment without me"" "And our relationship has today reached a stage... where you don't even realise that the interview was just an excuse" ""I had actually come to meet you, Arjun"" ""When I prayed for our love today, I felt as if you..."" "There's no love or relationship between us" "Papa and Usman Uncle are very good friends" ""As their children, we know each other very well"" "That's it." "There's nothing more to it" "What's happening here?" "I'm going back to Lucknow." "Right now" "But you said you'd be staying for a few days" "Mumbai hasn't agreed with me" "Khushboo..." " Out of my way" "I'm the one you're angry with" "What will Uncle Usman think if you return suddenly like this?" "You care so much for Usman Uncle?" "All right then." "I'll speak another lie for your sake" "I'll tell him that you took very good care of me" "It at least won't break my father's heart" ""Please try to understand me, Khushboo..."" "I don't want to understand anything!" "It was my mistake!" "I had those rosy dreams!" "I thought I was close to every joy of life!" "But I was wrong." "Terribly wrong!" ""What madness is this...?" " Yes, this is madness!"" "Remember this ear-ring?" ""Return my ear-ring, please"" ""Return my ear-ring, please"" "I don't want to stay here anymore" ""Why did you come into my life, Arjun?" "Why?"" "Why did you come into my life?" "That's how I've always been." " That's how you've always been!" "I'm sick of hearing that!" "How was I to know that my love and I were only childishness for you?" "I'm the one who erred" "I'll drop you at the airport." " That is not necessary" "I'll find the way back on my own" "Mr Khan called again" "I've got to give him an answer" ""Aamir is a very nice boy, Khushboo." "It's a very nice family"" "But we want to know what you wish to do" ""Mother, I'm willing to get married." "You may convey that to Uncle Khan"" "Sister-in-law..." " Arjun?" "What happened?" "After Uncle's death..." ""I don't know why, but I feel as if I'm carrying a burden on my heart"" ""It's so lonely without him, isn't it?"" "What if one says something that breaks the heart of someone he loves... what should one do?" " He must immediately talk it over" "And if that person is indeed close to you..." ""and knows that it might hurt your feelings, he will understand"" "Now tell me." "What happened?" ""When we were in Lucknow, I don't know how..."" ""Laxmi!" "Anjali!" " Coming, father"" "Neelima... everyone start packing." "We're going to Lucknow" "All over again?" " Yes." "Lucknow all over again" "The fun and merry-making again" "The priest and the nawab are great friends" "There's another wedding in his family" ""Wedding?" " Yes, it's Khushboo's wedding"" ""Such is the tyranny of the heart"" ""Such are the wounds on my heart"" "Oh my heart... it's my heart" "The things it makes you do" "The dreams it gives you" "It makes you restless..." ""it's the heart." "Yes, it's the heart"" ""In moonlight, it scorches you..."" "it raises you to the skies" ""it then brings you down to earth"" ""it's the heart." "Yes, it's the heart"" ""It craves for love, this heart." "It wanders in quest of it"" "Every lane of your city... it looked for love" ""I pine for you, I miss you every moment"" ""I think of you, my eyes are moist..."" "I shed tears for you" ""It causes me anguish every time I breathe..."" ""it's the heart." "Yes, it's the heart"" ""In every picture, even in the mirror..."" "it's your face I see" "This tyranny in my destiny... my heart has writ" ""It singles out those in love"" ""It's the heart." "Yes, it's the heart"" "The things it makes you do" "The dreams it gives you" "It makes you restless..." ""it's the heart." "Yes, it's the heart"" "Get down." "And carry your bags" "When did you folks arrive?" " Right now" ""Who else has come?" " Grandpa, grandma..."" "Mummy and daddy are here too." " How about your Uncle Arjun?" "Must we call him?" "Uncle Arjun..." "I never imagined you would come here." "I find it hard to believe... that you could bear to see me belonging to someone else" ""I'd have waited even more for you to break your silence, Arjun"" ""But it wasn't upto me anymore." " That's enough, Khushboo"" "How I wish you could understand me." " Khushboo... what are you doing here?" "I've been entrusted the responsibility of getting the bride ready" "Let's go." "C'mon" ""Arjun, what are you doing?" "What are you burning...?"" ""Move away, sister-in-law!" " Let me see..."" ""What are you doing?" " Go away, sister-in-law!"" "Khushboo's in love with you and you didn't..." ""Nothing of the sort has happened." "Forget it, please"" ""Arjun, you're in love with Khushboo." "Aren't you?"" "So why did you hide the truth?" "You should at least have told me!" ""What would happen, even if I did?"" "It would break the hearts of my loved ones" "And what love is this because of which I've lost my dear uncle" "What?" " Yes" "He was going to Lucknow to talk for me" "And you kept cursing yourself for your uncle's death?" ""Don't tell anyone about it, sister-in-law"" "It isn't the time to..." " Arjun... who knows?" "Time might change its course" ""Khushboo, isn't this a nice gharara?"" ""What's wrong, Khushboo?"" ""You find it strange to be leaving your house so suddenly, isn't it?"" "I cried when I got married too" ""What is this, Khushboo?"" "You're in love with Arjun and you didn't even tell us?" ""What?" " It's true, Neelima"" "They are in love." "I got to know just now" ""Had I got to know earlier, maybe this wedding wouldn't be taking place"" ""What could I do, sister-in-law?" "Despite the best of my efforts..."" "Arjun never told me how he felt." " He must've had a reason." "Or else..." ""he loves you very much, Khushboo." "It's too late now"" "But we must break Arjun's silence" "What is the matter?" "What are you out to prove?" "Just that you will never be able to forget me?" "Why are you running away from the truth?" ""What truth, Khushboo?"" "The truth that Usman Uncle and my Papa are fast friends?" "Or the truth of the many favours Uncle Usman has done to us?" "Or the truth that I'm a Hindu and you're a Muslim?" "Had it broken Uncle Usman's heart to know that we're in love... what would I have done?" "We have no right to hurt our parents' feelings" "The truth is just that I tried to take the right path" "Everything else is false" ""Nothing is false, Arjun"" "Maybe we haven't been able to take our love to its logical conclusion" "But that doesn't mean our love is not true" "What is my misfortune is that I got to know from someone else... that you're in love with me" ""Just once, I want to hear it from you"" "I'll find my answer again" "It's time for the wedding." "The priest is waiting" "Get ready quickly" ""Now where are you going, Arjun?"" "I want to return home" "I feel stifled here" "What will everyone say if you go away from the wedding like this?" "I know what you're going through." "But you're not such a weakling" "Go and get ready" "Arjun... go and get ready." "Go on!" ""Aamir Khan, son of Haider Khan..."" "your wedding is being solemnised with Begum Khushboo... daughter of Mohammad Usman..." ""for a mehr of 101,151 rupees."" "Do you accept it?" "I do." " Do you accept it?" "I accept it." " Do you accept it?" "I do" "Congratulations" ""Khushboo Begum, daughter of Usman Khan..."" ""your wedding is being solemnised with Aamir Khan, son of Haider Khan..."" ""for a mehr of Rs.101,151"" "Do you accept it?" "Do you accept it?" "Do you accept it?" "Khushboo... speak up!" ""What is the matter, my child?" "Speak up, Khushboo"" "Why are you quiet?" "What is the matter?" "Tell me" "Speak up." "Why aren't you speaking up?" "What is it?" "At least tell me" "Father!" "Father!" "What happened?" "Uncle..." "Please stay here." "You can't come inside" ""This way, doctor"" ""Wait here, sister-in-law"" ""Don't cry, sister-in-law." "Everything will be all right"" "There's nothing to worry about" "Can we meet him?" " One of you can go inside" ""You go ahead, father"" "Usmaan... my friend... what happened?" "Don't be afraid." "Everything will be all right" "Thakur..." " What?" "Tell me" "Send Arjun inside." " Arjun?" "Right away" "What happened?" " He wants to see Arjun" "I'll look for him at once" "I've been looking for you and you are sitting here!" "Usman Uncle wants to see you." "C'mon" "Usman Uncle... please forgive me" "It wasn't my intention to hurt your feelings" "Please Usman Uncle..." "please forgive me" "What are you seeking forgiveness for?" "For being in love with Khushboo?" "Silly boy!" "That's something to celebrate" "But you..." " Mad boy" "I had to feign the heart attack to unite you with your love" ""Or else, someone else would have left with your bride"" ""You do love Khushboo, don't you?"" "But Khushboo's marriage..." " Marriage of course" ""You will marry her, won't you?"" "Yes" "I didn't hear that." "What did you say?" ""Yes, Uncle." " Didn't get you!" "Speak loudly!"" ""Yes, Uncle Usman!"" "You're going to get me killed!" ""What happened, Usman Uncle?"" "Why've you been shouting?" "What happened?" ""Listen..." " Open your eyes, brother"" "Tell me what happened" "Where has anything happened to anyone!" "What is he doing...?" "Call the doctor!" ""What doctor, Thakur...?" "I had to enact this drama"" "How else would I know that Arjun and Khushboo love each other?" "What?" "Oh yes." "Ask them!" ""You know why Arjun didn't express his love to her, Thakur?"" "It's because you are a Hindu and I'm a Muslim" "He thought it would drive a wedge in our relationship" ""Arjun, my son, when you were born..."" "did you know which religion you belonged to?" ""You didn't, did you?"" ""Religion is just an identity, my son." "As for relationships..."" ""they are so strong, nothing can break them"" ""Am I right, Thakur?" " Absolutely"" ""Arjun, Khushboo..." "I'm proud of you"" "I'm proud of our friendship too." " Thakur... have the two of them married now." " Very well" "I swear!" "No wonder Arjun was always following Khushboo around!" "He even got her a discount at the jewellery shop" ""Isn't it, Khushboo?"" ""There's no need to be so shy, Khushboo!"" "I'm not shy at all." "You're the ones who are doing all the talking" "You must find out whether I agree too" "What...?" ""Oh yes, Thakur." "Your son still hasn't proposed to her, you see"" "Looks like he hasn't taken after you in this respect!" "It's a question of your father's honour." "Say it" ""Hurry up and tell her, Arjun." "Khushboo's groom is ready"" ""Say it, or you'll miss the bus waiting like the folks in Lucknow!"" "All right." "Must I...?" " Go ahead!" "You got the wrong finger!" "Had you taken this one..." "I'd have said..." "I love you"
