"Yes, Aunty...he just doesn't take care of himself." "You just keep quiet..." "I don't want to talk to you..." "Why?" " Why?" "What is Sayeeda saying?" "Oh!" "I wasn't serious at all." "I was just joking." "That's surprising..." "You have spoilt my two daughters..." "Aren't they like my children too?" "Anyway, leave all this aside."

"Some day all you girls have to leave." "No way am I leaving my father and going anywhere." "Even I'm not going." " So then should I leave?" "Why do you speak like this, father?" "Some day you have to get married, my child." "The only prayer I have to the Lord is that... the man you marry must love you even more than I do." "C'mon..." "I don't think such a man exists in this world..." "Am I not there?" "You did not eat, dance or even talk to anyone at the party tonight." "You didn't even tell me how beautiful I look tonight." "You look very beautiful, Naina." "Really?" "How sweet!" "I'm sweet and I also lie very well." "Just go..." " No." "Hey Naina, you look very beautiful." "Are you lying or telling the truth?" " What do you think?" "I think..." " What do you think?" "I think Rahul..." " What do you think?" "Rahul, I think you should go now." "In any case I wasn't planning to come with you." "But thanks for the offer." "Bye..." "I was lying to you." "What's happening, Mom?" "Nothing much except planning for Dad's surprise party." "Nothing stays in this child's stomach." "That's because there's already so much in there." "Rahul, How come you are back so early?" "Mom..." "These society parties are very boring." "Really?" "In that case you have not taken after your father in these matters." "He used to love such parties... because there used to be a lot of girls there..." "Nandini" "He used to get very happy watching those girls." "Nandiniji..." "If I hadn't watched those beautiful girls... how would I have found you?" " What did you do?" "Your father brought Nandini's proposal..." "When he saw her for the first time he was very pleased..." "And said, he approved other." "But he said we would have to ask for dowry." "He insisted that the girl should bring from her parents' house... lots of love and a long, long ladder." "It's a great tradition." "The elders of the house choose their daughter-in-law." "One can't trust these mad children." "No, Mataji..." "All that was then." "These days everything has changed." " Nothing has changed, Nandini." "But these days children make their choices themselves..." "Nothing has changed, Nandini." "What I meant was..." " Nothing has changed." "But..." " I said it... didn't I?" "That's it!" "Your beauty is going to steal his sleep in the nights..." "Shut up!" " You shut up!" "Where is your Ashfaque?" "I haven't even seen him yet." "Introduce him to me." "Let me see how he looks." "He is arriving from Lucknow today and... he will come to meet you as soon as he comes." "Tell me what you thought of him." "Stop this coy bride act now..." "By the way, what does he do in Lucknow?" "He is a poet." " A poet?" "Then I'll get along very well with him." "Really?" "Why?" "That's because I write a bit of poetry myself." "A ha..." "Ustad Anjali Ali Khan." "Let me say a few lines..." " Go on..." "Go on." "What heartache have I gone through for thee..." "What heartache have I gone through for thee..." "On one end is Rukhsar and the other is Aunteee..." "Shut up, you brat." "Do you know that the morning papers have carried a photograph..." " of my boss and his son?" " Really?" "Can I see?" "Wash your hands first..." " Oh God!" "Tomorrow is his fiftieth birthday." "There's going to be a big party." "There will be lot of people." "I made it very clear to Bhabhiji that the desserts will... come from Chandni Chowk." "That too specially made by dear Anjali." "Really?" "And what did she say?" " She agreed." "But now you make sure that you don't mess things up." "Both Rukhsar and you come to the party with the kulfi." "Yes we will." "Oh God, but tomorrow is Bauji's birthday too." "So what?" "Come a little late." "In any case their party is not going to start early." "Oh Allah!" "Oh Allah!" "Do I have it?" "No!" " You don't know anything." "Please dress appropriately for tomorrow." "Yes Ammi, I will wear my new shimmering, embroidered outfit." "Of course..." "You must." "After all everyone in the party will be dying to know... what Rukhsar is going to wear..." " Really?" "C'mon Rukhsar... the gang..." "Please." " No... not today." "Rukhsar please." " No..." "Ammi is not feeling well." "I'll return it." "Your groom is coming to visit us today, isn't he?" "Where have we come now?" "How tacky!" "You brat." "Mother has sent some medicines for Daijaan."

"Let me say a couplet." "So what if the evil wishes harm..." "nothing can happen" "The only will that triumphs is the will of the Lord." "Your turn..." "Eh, Look up there." "Eh, Laddoo..." "You can't enter Chandni Chowk." "Why?" " Just..." "And if you want to enter, you have to say this:" "Chandu's uncle fed Chandu's aunty on a moonlit night in Chandni Chowk in a silver spoon, some Chatni..." "Say it fast." "What exactly am I supposed to say?" "Never mind..." "You don't say..." "Can I say another one?" "Love is not an easy path, understand ye all..." "It's a trial by fire to be crossed bravely." "Chandu's... spoon's... uncle..." "You have come to meet me..." "haven't you?" "Not really..." "I came to meet Daijaan." "So you call her 'Daijaan' lovingly... eh?" "Of course..." "She has brought me up." "She has brought you up?" "In that case even I must have been your played in her lap." "Chandu's spoon... silver uncle..." "Look up there!" "Catch him." "When's the wedding?" " Who's?" "Of course yours and hers." "How can I marry Daijaan?" "You have a great sense of humour." "And you are cute too." "Bhaiyya... save me." "I'm going to tell Rukhsar that I liked her Ashfaque miya." "Who is Ashfaque miya?" "You are asking me who Ashfaque miya is?" "You have a great sense of humour..." "You have a great sense of humour..." "Do you know where Sayeeda begum lives?" "No?" "Do you know?" " What do I know?" "You seem to know everything." "Do you know my Aunty?" "Your would be mother-in-law..." "Sayeeda begum..." "Do you know where she works?" "Big businesses of the big people." "Have you heard of the Raichands?" "How could you have heard of them?" "Their photo has appeared in the newspaper today..." "Really?" " Yes..." "Have you seen it?" " No..." "Then come with me..." "I'll show you..." "I don't read the newspapers." " Here it is." "Yashvardhan Raichand..." "a big snob!" "And this is his son..." "God!" "He looks exactly like you." "Show me." "Ah Ashfaque miya." "I'm a dead duck..." " Not at all..." "You have a great sense of humour." "You have a great sense of humour." "Bhaiyya..." "I have some goons running after me." "My younger brother." "Listen..." "You really do have a great sense of humour." "Greetings..." "I'm Ashfaque." " And I'm the Queen of Jhansi." "Before I raise this toast to Papa..." "I want to say something to all of you." "I had a dream since childhood..." "A dream to be like Papa." "To walk like him, speak like him, sit like him..." "To do everything the way he does." "Like the way he is standing right now..." "Can't do it." "I know I can't do it." "And maybe I will never be able to do it because... there's no one in this world like my Papa." "I know that someone up there is happy with me to have bestowed on... me the right to say that I am Yashvardhan Raichand's son." "Say it proudly."

"You think all the girls in Delhi are dead... that he will be in love with me?" "No one loves me here in Chandni Chowk..." "Why would that Yashvardhan's son be interested in me?" "Don't joke it away now, I'm telling you." "Ya ya..." "you keep telling..." "Take her away." " What are you saying?" "It was a joke." " Stop it." "So you don't want to buy the sweetmeats?" "When did it shift?" "Red Fort shifted to Agra a long time ago and... the mental asylum from there has shifted here." "Not a dime in the pocket and wants to know the whereabouts of the Red Fort."

"Trying to be a great tiger before me!" "Let go of my hand." "Why has he held her hand?" " Let go of my hand." "I let go." "What if I tell them?" "Today in the presence of everyone... what if I tell them the truth, what will you do?" "I don't think you will be able to." "You are scared." "What if I do?" "Then I will tell everyone what's in my heart." "Really?" "Is that so?" " It's a bet." "Don't bet with me, you might regret." "Maybe that's what I want." "But looking at you..." "I wonder if all this is a dream." "Dream?" "Yes..." "How can anyone be so frightened?" "Your turn." ""My trinkets tinkle..." "they say I am yours"" ""I can't spend a minute without you, Oh I am yours"" ""Take me away..." "oh darling take me away"" ""My trinkets tinkle..."

"My son has turned into a complete Englishman." "No." "Not at all." "Really, Aunty..." "Sometimes I wish we were living in India." "And Krishi would sing the same songs that I grew up singing." "But we are here and I have become 'mummy' from a mother." "Why do you think so, Anjali?" "The culture is yours, isn't it?" "Still..." "It's not the same, Aunty..." "...Just see..." "Coming!" "Mad!" "By the way, D... j..." "Daijaan, What are these children doing?" "There's a function in Baba's school." "They are rehearsing for that." "All of us are going for it." "You will come with us, won't you?" "I'll just be back." "What do I do with this?" "What are you doing?" "I'll manage myself." "Leave it Daijaan, I'll manage myself." "I'll do it myself..." "Daijaan..." "Daijaan..." "DJ!" "My little child!" "My child!" "I knew it..." "My heart kept telling me that it was my Baba." "Oh Allah!" "How big you've grown up to be." "You hid it from your DJ too?" "You didn't even tell me?" "Why?" "My child, why?" "Didn't I keep telling you, Anjali?" "See, it's my little child!" "It's my child." "You have come back to me." "My child!" "Just coming!" "Just coming!" "Oh!" "Where is Didi?" "Where's she gone?" "Oh my God!" "Is this our table?" "They do this all the time." "Look at this, Aunty," "They give the front seats to the shining white army and seat us behind." "Why do they do it always?" "No..." "Aunty," "Where is that silly principle?" "She has arrived, the cunning vixen." "Is she the Queen of England that she's got the table in the front?" "Please go you silly woman..." "Hope your table starts shaking... hope your chair breaks to pieces." "Should we sit?" "Already there have been a lot of complaints." "Even last year at this function you had created a ruckus!" "Krishi is performing..." "Very nice..." "what's the big deal?" "You just shut up and stop this Englishwoman act of yours!" "Anjali, she's right!" " You keep quiet." "My son's on stage..." "I will at least whistle once." "No..." "No..." " Just one whistle..." "How sweet my son looks!" "He looks just like you, sweetoo!" "God, Please protect my son." "Eh!" "Your son is just performing..." "not fighting a war on the border." "Just see!" " Just see!" "My son!" "My son!" " Even mine." "Now sing your, 'Do Re Mi'." "Did you do this?" "Now tell me something..." "You must have been a little nervous?" "I was a little nervous." "But someone said something to me... and everything was alright." "What did the person say?" " Just a minute." "If you want to be someone in life..." "if you want to achieve something... if you want to win, always listen to your hear." "And if even that doesn't give you any answers... close your eyes and think of your parents." "And then you will cross all the hurdles... all your problems will vanish, victory will be yours... only yours." "Who said this?" "Papa?" " No." "He." "Did you take care of mother?" "Did you get selected in the cricket team?" "How did you manage to lose so much weight?" "Why didn't you tell me?" "Why didn't you tell me?" "Come back home, Bhaiyya." "Please come back home." "Come back home, Bhaiyya." "Has Papa sent you?" "Rohan, now this is my family." "These are my people." "This is my world!" "And the home you are talking about was never mine in the first place... and will never be." "You go back now... just go back." "You..." "I have seen you again, that's enough for me." "Go back." "Do you know Bhaiyya, you often said when I was a child" "That mother loved you more than me." "I never liked it then." "I used to get angry." "But today, I would like to tell you, that you were right." "Mother loves you more than me." "She loves you too much." "And she will always." "She will always" " I know." "He hasn't forgotten Dad's words." "He will never come back." "He will come Rohan." "He will definitely come back." "I know my brother-in-law well." "Just get him to meet mother and father." "Will you be able to do that?" "You know, dad..." "I had a strange dream last night." "I dreamt that you and Mom had come to London to surprise me." "Then?" " What then, dad?" "The alarm went off..." "I mean... why would you and Mom come to London to surprise me?" "I'll speak to you later" "The work's done." "Guess where we are." " Where, dad?" "Is it ever possible that my son dreams of something and I don't turn it true." "Tell me where you are right now, we want to meet you just now..." "You are meeting me after such a long time." "Present?" "Now..." "at this time... here..." "You meet me at 5 p.m. At the Blue water Shopping mall." "But tell me what you want, my child." "You will find what I want right there, Dad." "What's happening here?" " I'm looking for the receipts." "What receipts?" " To return the clothes." "If you have to return them, why do you buy them in the first place?" "The country best in the world is our India..." "Right Mom?" "Mother's stooge!" "Did you tape that?" "That Indian serial, Kyon Ki Saas Bhi kabhi bahu thi." "What a brilliant twist!" "The son dies." "Oh God!" "Really?" "Oh No..." "You have given away the suspense." "What are you doing?" " It's fine till the hugs" " but he keeps kissing me too." " You have never kissed me so much." "Come home, darling... and see." "Lies!" "You lied to me." "Yes..." "I lied to you, Dad." "What would I have achieved even if I had told truth." "I wouldn't be able to break your ego." "What else is it if not ego, Dad?" "That separates a mother from her child that takes away... a brother from his sibling... that throws a father away from his son...?" "He is not my son!" "I don't believe that he is my son." "Has he fulfilled the duties of a son?" "He didn't." "He did, Dad... he did." "He always fulfilled them." "He only made one mistake..." "Love." "If that is a crime according to your law, so be it." "But isn't it your duty as an elder to forgive him for his mistake?" "But you came down to punishing him." "What kind of punishment is this, Dad?" "What punishment is this?" "Just look into my eyes and say that... you don't feel the pain of parting with him." "Say that you don't remember him." "Say that you don't love him." "Say it, Dad." "Say it." "I don't love him." "I don't love him." "I said it, didn't I?" "God has blessed you with everything, Dad..." "Everything." "I just wish he had given you a heart!" " Shut up!" "You irreverent child!" "You love him." "You love him a lot." "You love him a lot." "I have got my answer." "You really love him." "Let's go back, Rahul." "It's too much now..." "This is not our country." "These are not our people." "We have set up a house here... but have you ever wondered what kind of a home is this... that doesn't have a mother's warmth or a father's blessings?" "Let's go back, Rahul." "Mother and Father are here..." "They are right here." "They are elders." "They are a little angry with us." "But we will ask for forgiveness." "Rahul..." "I know they are as incomplete without us... as we are without them." "We will ask for forgiveness, Rahul." "Let's go back." "You will never understand." "To turn a stranger into your own... and then to turn him back to a stranger... you can never understand the pain." "I agree they are elders... but even they don't have the right to break a heart." "Even they don't have a right to break a heart." "I think we should call him back." "Yash, It was her last wish to have Rahul..." "Just wait for a while..." "I know he will definitely come." "We don't need to wait for anyone..." "Rohan." "Rahul and Anjali are leaving." "They are leaving tomorrow from here." "They haven't even come home." "If you say to them..." "Do you know mother always says that... a husband is God." "No matter what he says..." "no matter what he thinks... he is always right." "You brought Rahul home one day..." "right." "We gave him lots of love... right." "He became a part of our family." "He became my life..." "right... absolutely right!" "Then... one day he left home and went away." "Wrong" "You let him leave... wrong" "You separated a mother from her child... wrong." "Our family shattered to pieces... wrong." "Then how does a husband become God?" "God can't do any wrong can he?" "My husband is just a husband..." "just a husband..." "Not God." "Not God." "Nandini!" "I said it..." "Didn't I?" "That's it!" "Ever since the day you left, Bhaiyya... mother has only seen you through His eyes." "He is the one who gave a mother... the strength to stay away from her son." "Please swear on Him, Bhaiyya... that you will come home at least once." "Just once, Bhaiyya." "Even if it is for a moment." "Even if it is for a day." "Let Bhabhi feel at least once that she is the daughter-in-law of this family." "She is a part of the family." "At least let your shadow fall on the photograph... that has kept your memory alive in mother's eyes for the last ten years." "Just once, Bhaiyya." "Then you can leave" "No one will stop you." "No one will stop you." "On the strength of that one memory... that one moment..." "Mother can lead her entire life." "Can't you do just this much for mother?" "You took my words so much to heart that you went away." "Didn't even look back once." "Didn't come back even once." "Didn't come back." "Where did you call me back, Papa?" "Did I have to call you back?" "Am I not elder?" "Do I have to call you back?" "Am I not elder?" "I thought you didn't love me." "I thought you didn't think of me as your son." "How could you think that?" "How could you?" "I brought you into this house for the first time with these hands." "You completed our family." "You fulfilled all our dreams." "How did you think...?" "I thought you didn't love me..." "didn't love me." "I love you very much, my son..." "love you very much." "Just... just couldn't say it." "In these ten years I have thought about you every moment every day." "I thought of you so much that, I felt like embracing you and... telling you how much I love you." "Just couldn't say it." "Elders' anger is a part of..." "their love, my son." "You took it so much to heart that you got angry and left home...?" "And I didn't even call you back." "Why would you call me?" "I should have come on my own." "Yes..." " I should have come on my own." "Why didn't you come?" "Why didn't you?" "This is your home..." "You are the elder son of the family..." "You are my son... my son." "And now I have grown old my son." "I have grown old." "At least forgive me now." "At least forgive me now..." "At least now." "Come here, son." "Son..." "At times the youngsters in the house show the right... path to the elders in the family." "I kept you away from your brother for years." "Please forgive me if you can." "Forgive me... forgive me."
