""Every man standing downstairs, every woman and every farmer..."" "wait in the hope that Dev will bring a ray of hope for them... and fill their lives with joy."

"Here's my resignation" "I only wanted to help you" "Don't ever try to help me again" "Mr Khanna?" "You?" "How're you feeling now?" " l'm okay" "Let me go!" "Leave me alone!" "Dad!" "Am I glad you're here!" "They just don't believe that I'm your son" "Tell them the truth!" ""Yes, he's my son." "Dev." " Hear that?" "Know who I am?"" ""Out of my way, please."

"By pressing enter" "Will you press exit and take the trouble of going out?" ""lf you don't like me coming here, I'll go away"" "I didn't know my driver would be offended so quickly" ""By the way, if you wish, you can stay here for 2 minutes"" "2 minutes?" "2 minutes will pass even as we discuss the weather" "Really?" "There are more interesting things to talk about... apart from the weather." " Such as?" "Such as what you said to me at the Town Hall yesterday I did?" "I can't remember anything" ""l'd even pluck the stars from the skies for you"" "Remember?" "I wasn't lying lt's 2 minutes already and I must leave" ""You can't leave this moment unfinished, Dev"" ""When did I ever want to leave, Shalu?""

"Let her know who she is, what's the truth about her"" "She must know the foul blood that runs in her veins" ""What's come over you?" "Why are you being so harsh with me, Mamma?"" "I told you I'm not your Mamma." "Why don't you understand that?" "Your mother was the one who poisoned my life and Nimmi's" "Enough!" "Please calm down" ""Come upstairs, Shalu. I'll explain." " Stop Nimmi!" "I'm not through"" ""Shalu, your father married me." "Nimmi is our daughter"" "And your mother..." "I never knew when they began living together" ""Imagine the character, the upbringing of a woman...""

"What I did for you, I did for her"" "But the very sight of her would never let my wound heal" ""Shalu, 20 years ago, your mother robbed me of the joys of life"" ""Today, will you do the same to my daughter?"" ""No..." " No Shalu, I'll never let you succeed"" "Never" "Done Mamma?" "Coughed up the venom of 20 years?" "Or is there any more left?" "Come Shalu" ""Shalu, tell me the truth!" "What were you doing with Dev in his house?"" "What is your relationship with Dev?" " Don't raise this topic" "Why must I not?" "I will." "Shut your ears if you don't want to hear" "But this will be decided today" "Nimmi!" "Go to your room" ""Shalu, what have I left undone for you?" "Why have you done this to your sister?"" ""The same sister who loves you, always takes your cause..."" "the sister who'd die for you!" "Why did you do this Shalu?" ""No Mamma!" "I can't imagine doing it!" "I love Nimmi, she is everything for me"" "Lies!" "White lies!" ""Get this clear Shalu, no one's stopping Dev from marrying Nimmi"" "You will never succeed!"

""then Dev is yours, everything I have is yours"" ""For a sister like you, I'd sacrifice a hundred Devs"" ""No Di, you're mistaken." " l always wanted you to be happy"" "Say nothing more." "Dev is yours." " No Di..." ""You know, you're the greatest sister in the world"" "You're also a fool" "How could I be in love with two guys?" " Two...?" ""You know, ever since I was a kid..."" "Sameer?" "That's why you went to see his shows at night?" "You made me spend so much money" "Then everything's fine." "I'll talk to Mamma. I promise" "And then everything will be like always ... all of us will be happy" "Yes Di" "You think you're smart?" "What you've been upto on the sly... I know." " What have I done?" ""Whatever it is, he is to blame"" "And I never got to know?" "Sit" "You turn out to be sly." " Not I... him" "You're caught out." "Shalu has told me everything" "Shalu told you?" " What...?"

" Not massage, message"" "What message?" " She's going to see you tonight" "How will I wait it out till tonight?" " There's no time!" "She's coming" ""Yes, clean the house, get a snack..." " First of all, a ring you fool"" ""Shalu, we must resolve your mother's misconception"" "Dad couldn't refuse her when she spoke of Nimmi" "And she thinks the wedding is final." "We must tell her the truth" "No Dev. I won't hurt Mamma or Di." "Try to understand me" ""You don't know, Di loves you dearly." " Nimmi may be a nice girl"" ""But I love you, not Nimmi." " Then nothing can be done"" "I'm not forcing you to marry Nimmi." "But I can't hurt Mamma or Nimmi" "And what about me?" "What about my love for you?" "is it of no value?" "Only your mother and Nimmi mean everything to you?" "Have you no place inside your heart for me?" "Dev i can imagine what you're going through." "Do you think I don't feel?" "But there's no other way!" "You don't know what my sister means to me" ""She loves you dearly." "Yet, for my sake she's willing to sacrifice her love"" "Then why... what dilemma is this?" "Why can't we say we're in love?" "No Dev!" "If Mamma gets to know everything will be destroyed" ""Our family is going to be ruined!" "Please, for Mamma's sake, don't..."" "Why not Shalu?" "She's your mother too." "Surely she loves you as much as Nimmi?" "She will be just as happy." "What destruction are you afraid of?" "She isn't my biological mother." "I'm her step daughter" ""She has done much for me, she has made many sacrifices"" "She wants to see you and Nimmi married." "I can't deny her this happiness" ""Please, understand my predicament"" ""Sameer, Shalu is here." " l'll be there in 2 minutes"" ""Sit, Sameer is coming"" ""Shalu, will you marry me?""

" Please, don't get me wrong"" ""The situation was such, I had to lie." " Lie...?"" "I shouldn't have done that." "But what could I do?" "My sister loves him dearly" ""And I want them to get married." "Sameer, will you help me?"" "Will you feign you're in love with me?" ""Sameer, why are you silent?"" ""Sameer, do you hear me?"" "Why not?" "Of course I'll pretend I'm in love with you" "And even you won't be able to make out it's an act" ""One minute, hold this"" "Give me your hand" ""Shalu, will you marry me?" "Tell me Shalu"" ""Shalu, I'm your childhood sweetheart." "Will you marry me?"" ""When I meet you, I'll tell you..."" "how dearly I love you" ""When I meet you, I'll tell you...""

"how dearly I love you" "But why do you want to marry Nimmi?" "Why do you want to ruin your life?" "And you love Shalu so dearly!" "Then why this suicide?" "It's my love that compels me I can't tell you what I've been through after Shalu refused to marry me" "It was too painful for me to bear and I knew Shalu was hurting too" "Shalu is doing this for her mother's sake. ln her place... maybe I'd do the same." "If I don't marry Nimmi..." ""Shalu will lose everything, her home, her sister, her mother"" "I'd never want that" ""Mr Khanna, have the horoscopes matched?" "Didn't I tell you?"" "May congratulations to you too." "Shall we proceed with the formalities?" ""Nimmi, tell us, what does Dev look like?"" "He's cross-eyed" "He's bald" "And he walks with a stick" ""He tells me, "Nimmi my love, want to go to the cinema?"" "is he really like that?" " You'll stare wide-eyed when you see" ""Congratulations Mr Mittal, one of your dreams is about to come true"" "All his dreams will come true and all our dreams too" "When did you break out of jail?" " Mr Khanna bailed me out... for the wedding." "He's magnanimous!" " Mr Dilani from Delhi" ""Yes, have you any news?" "Really?" "Very good"" "Fax me the birth certificate" "Now she is trapped" "Ms Sarita will have to step down from the Mayor's seat" ""Else, the wedding is over"" "Does your daughter work all day?" " Her name is Shalu" ""Lovely name." "Come, sit with us for a while"" ""Tomorrow, you will be bringing Dev over for the engagement"" "I hope the bridegroom doesn't fall for so pretty a sister-in-law" ""No, she won't be able to go." "There's much to do here"" "Mr Mittal is here." "Says it's important" "I'll be back" "Two daughters and a wedding" "Greetings." " What are you doing here?" "I thought I'd seize the opportunity to meet you I'll be back" "I wanted to know who Renu Verma is..." " l don't know any Renu Verma" "Renu Verma was related to your husband." " Let's go upstairs and talk" ""No matter how much you try to hide, but the filthy truth outs, no?"" "Your husband Shekhar had an illicit relationship with Renu Verma." "Not true?" "What nonsense!" "Get out of here!" " Raise your voice to your detriment" ""lf the guests hear, you will lose face." " Will you leave, or won't you?"" ""Ms Sarita, Shalu is your husband's illicit child. ls it not true?"" "Now no lies." "Here's Shalu's birth certificate lt mentions her mother's name clearly." "Which is Renu Verma" "What's written in a birth certificate makes no difference to me" ""lf it makes no difference, why have you concealed it?"" "Why give the impression that she is your daughter?" "Who are you to ask?" "I will not do what you wish" ""Do not be hasty, and think it over." "Do you want this wedding called off?"" "Would you have your daughter suffer for the sake of an illegitimate?" "How is Nimmi to blame?" "Would you rather that Nimmi remains a maid for life?" ""Whatever you say, I will not allow this city to be ruined"" ""For God's sake, leave me and my daughter alone"" "How can I let you be?" "I too want to become Mayor" "Here's the stepdaughter ls this a confrontation?" " You think you will scare us... with your empty threats?" "You cannot hurt us" "Shalu go away. I do not need your help" ""Mamma please, this man..." " What's this Mamma-Mamma?"" ""She isn't your mother." "Look, here's your original birth certificate"" "No piece of paper can change my mother" "She is my real Mamma." "That's what she stays" ""Shalu, you aren't my daughter, you can never be." "And if I suffer this day..."" "it's because of you!" "They're threatening to stop Nimmi's wedding" "No Mamma!" "Nimmi will surely marry." " But how Ms Shalu?" "Dev might be modern." "But will Mr Khanna wish to be related... to a family that is harbouring an illegitimate child?" ""Ms Sarita, think for yourself." "If this wedding is called off..."" "what standing are you left with?" " This wedding is happening I'll tell Mr Khanna everything" "Shalu!" "Stop!" "You tell him?" "So that he can call off this wedding?" "Just try" "Shalu!" "Stop" ""Stop I say..." "listen to me, Shalu"" ""Ms Sarita, what happened?"" "Tell the driver to get the car" ""Shalu, what happened?"" "Say something" "Shalu is here." "She looks worried." "Something's amiss" "She looks tense and she's saying nothing" ""Uncle, I'd like..."" "I'd like..." ""Uncle I..." " Yes, my child?"" "Speak" ""Tell me, my child"" ""Uncle, what's wrong with me?"" "Why is everyone worried because of me?" ""Why, particularly, my Mamma?"" "She isn't my Mamma lt was a saving grace that she lent me her name" ""l love her dearly, but she isn't my Mamma"" "My parents died 20 years ago in an accident" ""Tell me, if I am her stepdaughter is it Mamma's fault?"" "After knowing that Nimmi and I are step sisters... will you call off this wedding?" "Am I so wretched... that you will refuse to have any relationship with my family?" "Am I so evil that my Mamma and my Di must suffer for my existence?" "Uncle please..." "She loves me so dearly ls she the child I have despised all my life?" "How is she to blame for whatever happened?" "She loves me and Nimmi so dearly?" "I don't care what Mr Khanna decides I just want to hold this loving daughter to my bosom" ""Bless you, child"" ""For a stepdaughter like you, I'd give up a thousand of my offsprings"" ""Have no worry, this wedding will surely happen"" "But I must commend your courage" ""Before so many people, you spoke the truth about yourself?"" "Be happy" "I never knew my father." "But I think he must've been like you" ""lf you consider me to be like a father, will you answer a question?"" "Honestly... have you never loved Dev?" "No." "Only Nimmi loves Dev" "I want to give Mamma the good news right away" "Wonderful... such a selfless sacrifice" "Your mother is back" "Where is Shalu?" " Upstairs" ""Sarita, where have you been?"" "Give me a reply" "Mamma!" "I spoke to Uncle Khanna!" "He won't call off the wedding" ""l know, I heard everything"" ""Forgive me Shalu, I always thought ill of you"" ""You're my daughter, aren't you?" "My own, aren't you?"" ""My baby, forgive me"" ""Mamma, for the first time ever you embraced me"" "Don't let go of me so soon" ""My baby!" "I will always hold you in my arms, forever"" "Your mother must've been a great woman to have borne a daughter like you" ""Believe me Shalu, I never knew that you and Dev were in love"" "You needn't make such a great sacrifice" ""l'll talk to Nimmi, it'll all be fine." " No..."" ""She's ready for the wedding, tomorrow's the engagement"" ""She will have a heartbreak." "Di has her Dev, I have my mother"" "I want nothing more" "Look" ""l've given you my heart, I am in love with you"" ""l've stolen your heart, because you said yes"" ""My beloved, my sweetheart, I dance to your tune"" ""Hush, someone might hear"" ""l have loved you, I didn't rob you"" "I didn't force you" ""l've made you restless, because I make you pine"" ""l've given you my heart, I am in love with you"" "Never in midstream... leave me... never break my heart" ""How can I tell you how I suffer?""

""lt's nothing, Nimmi." " Surely it's something"" ""You're hiding something from me." " You see, the truth always outs"" ""What truth is Rangeela speaking of?" " Nimmi, whatever is happening is wrong"" ""Nimmi, I didn't mean to hurt you." " No, you saved me from doing..."" "what I'd never forgive myself for." "Shalu did all this for my happiness?" "Does she not understand?" ""lf she and Dev love each other, how can I be happy with Dev?"" "Not everyone is destined to find love." " But loving is everyone's lot..." ""no matter if it remains a dream." " As long as the dream was, it was fine"" ""lf it's no more, then so be it." " That's life"" ""Sameer, we've both been in love." "But we're still to do our duty"" ""You're right, not all is over"" ""To make this launch memorable, I'll share some news with you"" "My son Dev is marrying Ms Sarita's daughter" "What are you doing?" "He's talking about you and Dev" ""Shalu, how did you and Mamma imagine that I'd be happy if you are unhappy?"" "Silly." "Dev loves you." "Only you." "Then how can I marry him?" ""Luckily Sameer told me everything." "Or, I'd never be able to forgive myself"" "You're a darling and you deserve all the happiness in the world" ""You did the right thing, Nimmi""
