[light music]

[Sophia] Do not overthink this, Sophia.

It's just a board meeting. You've done this a thousand times.

Our pitch is solid. Our numbers also make sense.

Sophia Kanmani Shekhar,

you're the CEO of the best hospitality start-up.

You've got this, Sophia.

[sighing] You've got this.

-Can I go, please? -No, you can't go in, ma'am.

Huh?

-There is a VIP shoot going on. -Yeah, so? Isn't it a public beach?

Yes, but the public is not allowed during VIP shoots.

-[man 1 on walkie] Ambuj, come in. -So sorry.

-Hello. Come in. -We are going for a take.

-[horse neighs] -[Ambuj] Copy that.

[upbeat music]

[woman 1] All right, let's make some beach magic happen.

Beautiful smile!

-[camera shutter clicks] -Keep your chin up.

[upbeat music continues]

[woman 1] Soften that, please.

You walk towards me.

Go to your left.

Let's play with the ocean breeze.

[woman 1 on walkie] Guys, where's the lockup?

[horse neighs]

-[Aviraaj] Calm down. -[woman 2] Oh, shit!

-Coffee. -[woman 1] Stand back!

-Everyone, stand back. -[Aviraaj] Okay.

Hey, calm down.

-Coffee! -[horse neighs]

-[Keertana] Sophia ma'am. -Huh?

Sophia ma'am!

I told you the wrong time for the meeting. The meeting is right now.

-What do you mean? The meeting is now? -I couldn't catch you when you sped up!

-Keertana! -I'm a bit slower than you, ma'am.

[computer beeps]

Hi.

Oh, come on, Sophia.

Don't tell me your cardio is more important than this meeting.

You know there's no better time than the time that I get with my board,

especially when it's about the future of my company.

So, let's get right into it.

The Royal B&B.

There's nothing like this in the market.

I'm sure we'll break even in three years. And just instinctively--

I'm saying four years at least.

Why start playing safe all of a sudden, Zubin?

That's not called playing safe.

[Zubin] I dream with my eyes open.

These numbers aren't a dream. They're a reality.

-12.5 million within quarter two and-- -No. One second, Sophia.

This business of yours, The Royal B&B, you're saying that customers

will go to a royal family's palace and enjoy a holiday there.

-Who's your target? -The common man.

The common man. Come on, guys. They can't afford this.

More importantly, the initial investments are high and the returns low.

-Exactly. -You should focus on WorkPotato for now.

He's absolutely right. And Kunal gets it. Kunal.

-Zubin, I hear all of you and trust me-- -You've always treated my judgement,

and of course, the fantastic judgement of Kunal,

as one hundred percent trustworthy.

And let's be real, we all have made a lot of profit of it.

So, to you, my board, I have a humble request

Please will you allow me to follow my instinct?

-[phone rings] -I know deep down,

this company is going to do really well here.

Myself and Sophia are confident that Royal B&B's hospitality

will put us into the most profitable league in the sector.

[Kunal] Here is our business plan and some projections.

Let's regroup tomorrow.

But for now, let our CEO enjoy her big award in Sri Lanka.

Good idea.

Sophia?

-Sure. -Cool.

[sighs]

[woman 2] And the Entrepreneur of the Year award goes to

Sophia Kanmani Shekhar,

CEO and co-founder of WorkPotato,

a successful start-up that has changed the B&B game in the hospitality business.

My co-founder, Kunal Mehta, my WorkPotato family,

and all my investors,

this is just the start.

[upbeat music]

-Sophia? -Cutie. Hmm?

-Oh my God. Stunning! -Sameera!

Congratulations and so well deserved.

Thank you. It's been a while.

So, Raghanis' and the fat paycheck life is working out for you, is it?

No complaints. It's amazing.

-You look great. -[laughs] Thank you.

Listen, what's this I hear? Something about your board blocking you?

Your brilliance needs a new address. Raghani's.

We're happy to invest in you.

Don't pamper me yet, Sameera.

Let me work as hard as you do.

All right. Enjoy your evening.

-You deserve it. Yeah? Okay, bye! -Thank you. I'll see you.

-[woman 3] Hey, Ms. Kashyap! -Hi. Coming!

-Sameera, hi. Can I speak to you quickly? -Seriously?

Sophia, hi. Quick question.

Can you confirm you're lacking support, specifically from your board members?

[hesitates]

-Can I get a comment on that? -Hi, Nandini ma'am. Such nice curls.

Ma'am is getting a very important phone call.

-Okay. -So, ma'am's really important.

I'm really important. You are important too.

But she's getting an important phone call. Importantly, we are leaving now.

It's a call from the Bombay Stock Exchange, ma'am. Markets are falling.

Ma'am, that is Nandini Jagtap. Top business journalist, ma'am.

-Really? -Saw you and Sameera talking

-and thought a scoop was on the cards. -No way!

Yes way, ma'am. It's just like I told you, ma'am.

The business of business journalism is a dirty business, ma'am.

[upbeat music]

[people hooting and cheering]

A toast in the name of the most enthusiastic member of the squad--

-Cheers! -No wait. One sec. No.

If your parents were still with you here today,

they would be so proud of you.

[background loud chatter]

What's the matter? What's made your smile go away?

What?

Relax. You worry too much.

Okay, Grandma.

Where is Grandpa? How is his knee pain?

[woman 4 in background] I know horses better than you.

-Can you speak up? -I don't need any medication.

[loud chatter]

-I can't hear you. -[man 3] Excuse me.

I said, I am super strong. Look at this.

I ran away? Excuse me, I…

-I can't hear you. It's loud-- -Ma'am.

-Yes? -No video calls allowed at the bar.

-Why? -It disturbs our customers.

I'm disturbing your customers?

And what about them?

-That's a VIP section, ma'am. -So?

I can't say anything to them. I'm sorry.

[loud hooting and cheering]

-Sweetheart? -Grandma, one second.

-[Aviraaj] Over here! -[Sophia] I'll call you back.

-A horse? -[man 4] Excuse me, ma'am.

-I'm sorry, you can't go there. -Because they're VIPs. Yeah, I'm aware.

But you can't actually stop me. You know that, right?

Hey, runner girl.

-Excuse me? -Horse guy.

[background chatter continues]

Hi.

I've just come over to tell you that everyone can totally hear your party,

and where I'm sitting, it's loud and clear.

And obviously, as you're VIPs,

your private party should remain private. That'd be great, right?

So, could you please just keep your volume…?

Yeah? Thanks.

[woman 5] Whatever!

-All right, we'll just sit. -Excuse me.

Yeah?

I didn't get your name, did I?

Runner girl. Hmm?

Fair play. Listen, I'm sorry.

Me and my friends can often be so noisy.

I mean, if it was me, I would also…

-So, I get it. -It's okay.

By the way, on the beach, when I saw you, Coffee and I argued because of you.

-Sorry? -Coffee, my horse.

-On the beach. -Hmm?

Coffee tried to tell me on the beach, about the err…

[playful music]

-Oh, so, you… -[whispers] I did.

I said there was no way you were doing that at us. Were you?

-Hmm. -His heart couldn't take it.

Ah!

I mean, I know you're a lot faster than him,

but his heart alone weighs four kilograms.

You can tell him,

"Coffee it wasn't aimed at you." And I'm sorry.

-Really? -Uh, huh.

Okay, hang on.

Coffee, I'm with runner girl.

She's sorry, apparently.

No, I can't say that. Okay, hold on.

He says he is happy to forget what you did

so long as you buy him a drink.

MOTHER

[phones ringing]

I think you should get it.

[Aviraaj] Hmm.

[phones continues ringing]

[sighs]

[grunts]

Yes, Maa?

Kunal, finding a scoop is Nandini's job.

And I didn't tell her anything about the board.

Kunal, do you think I am stupid?

[sighs] No. I'm not coming to Morpur.

What do you mean "why"? You know this.

And just because you keep calling me, that won't change.

Oh, it's my responsibility?

Kunal, remember who it is we're discussing here.

[sighs] Maa, I'm tired and I've said this to you,

I'm not interested in Motibagh anymore.

I'm not avoiding responsibility…

What? I'm out.

Somewhere important.

Of course, my life in New York is a big deal.

Maa, I'm a living, breathing adult.

I can make my own decisions. It's about time you made yours.

But maybe you shouldn't answer her calls.

I think you should be asleep by now, Maa. It's not good for your health.

Bye-bye.

[phone clatters]

[sighs]

[playful music]

Good night.

[phone bounces off the sofa and clatters]

Hi.

[playful music continues]

-So? -You okay?

Yeah.

[hesitates] Shall we?

[cries in pain]

-Sorry. You okay? -It's okay. Yeah.

Lights? I mean, whatever's your preference.

No, I'm cool.

-Yeah? -Yeah, I'm fine.

-I think, off, yeah? Okay. -Either way… Yeah.

This is it.

-[Sophia cries in pain] -Oh.

-[Sophia] My hair. -Sorry.

[Aviraaj] Just…

-[Aviraaj cries in pain] -[Sophia] Sorry.

[Aviraaj cries in pain]

-[Sophia] I'm so sorry! -Maybe this was a bad idea.

[Aviraaj hesitates] Do you just wanna chill for a bit?

[Sophia] Yeah. Okay.

[remote clatters]

I'm so sorry. I wasn't just feeling anything.

What do you mean, not feeling anything?

You're not really my type.

Yeah. Weird.

It's okay if you don't like perfection.

I actually don't like arrogance.

Yeah.

What arrogance do you mean?

You know the same arrogance that made you a "VIP" In the bar.

Okay. So you were not being a VIP is down to me, is it?

No.

But you being loud

and attention seeking is definitely your mistake.

Oh, sorry. I didn't realise. So you often go to bars for meditation, do you?

And I didn't realise I am dealing with someone as useless as you.

I'm with you now. You're an omniscient being.

-That's right. -Any other superpowers, tell me?

Hard work, focus, self-reliance. Are you keeping up with me?

-Always been this arrogant, have you? -Huh?

When was the last time you eased up?

Easing up is in the dictionary of the privileged.

My dictionary has responsibility in it.

You are fully responsible, by the way, for ruining my evening.

Go. Good luck changing the world.

I am changing the world on my own terms. But what about you?

How long are you going to run your father's fake entitlement outlet?

At least, I am not harbouring illusions in the same way as you.

I may be entitled, but I am definitely not as fake and stupid as you.

It's okay for one to be stupid, but not a spoiled brat like you.

You know what?

You've really ruined my mood.

And you've really fucked up my evening.

So, just leave.

-Gladly. -Good.

Tonight confirms what I've always been told. Money can't buy class.

Yeah, but it can definitely buy a VIP section.

[Aviraaj] Go fuck yourself.

-I'll do it better than you. -[Aviraaj] Well, you're gonna have to.

[whispers] Arsehole!

Why the fuck do you do this, Sophia?

[deep breath]

Just…

Nandini. Hi. Sophia.

I have something confidential to share with you.

Sameera has shown a lot of interest in my next venture,

and I'm actually considering it.

Pankaj, book me a flight tomorrow, will you?

And tell Maa, her responsible son is coming home.

[grandeur music]

[grandeur music continues]

Your Majesty. Your schedule for the week.

The lawyer is here, Your Majesty.

[man 5] Your Majesty.

-[Diggy] Namaste, Maa. -Good you are here.

Namaste.

-[Diggy] Let's start. -[Padmaja] Let us wait for a while.

He will soon be here as well.

-Pankaj? -Yes?

-His flight was boarded, wasn't it? -Yes, ma'am.

How long will you allow this, Maa?

And meanwhile you worry about his irresponsibility.

We've waited six months for him.

But Baba's will reading is very important. We must wait for your brother, Diggy.

Family is important.

Fine. What about Jinnie then?

[Jinnie] I have an announcement to make.

Thanks to Rousseau,

I am somebody who is totally vegan now.

Wasn't it just last month, that you both ate a lot of lamb curry together?

No! Ryan did that.

And I broke up with him years ago. So yeah, Rousseau.

Sounds like true love, Jinnie.

[peacocks hoot]

-[man 6] Your Majesty. -[man 7] Welcome.

-[Pankaj] Ma'am, he has arrived. -[man 8] His Majesty Aviraaj is here.

-Fizzy! [squeals] -[Aviraaj] How're you, Girdhari?

-Hey, Jinnie Bunny. -[kisses sounds]

-Namaste. I'm well. -How are you?

-Maa. -God bless you.

Can't you be on time sometimes, Fizzy?

[light music]

-Your Highness. -God bless you.

[sighs] Where's Auntie Maji?

Maji only needs to be thought about and immediately she's here!

-[Aviraaj] You look stunning. -[Maji] Godness.

Lovely to see you back here.

-Come have a seat. -Thank you.

[Aviraaj] Oh, and I almost forgot.

-Tell me. -Aha!

Voila!

Ooh! Edibles! Gummies!

-Wow! -[Aviraaj] It's the right one, right?

-This is so irresponsible. -Thank you so much!

-Customs could've arrested you. -Gummy bears are not getting you arrested.

I am surrounded by fools.

-Can we start, please? -Uh-huh.

[clears throat] The Maharaja passed away six months ago.

I will now read to you his current listed assets and property as compiled here.

Baba's assets are listed on Wikipedia already.

Go ahead and skip this part, please.

"I, Yuvanath Singh, of sound body and mind,

do command that my assets be distributed as follows,

Sheeth Mahal should be handed down to my daughter, Divyaranjini.

Sukoon Ghar to my wife, Padmaja.

Hmm.

Fateh Bhawan to my son, Aviraaj.

And Shikaar Baadi should be handed over to Digvijay.

[hums in agreement]

Auntie Maji should live in the northern wing of Motibagh for life.

and Padmaja should reside in the western wing.

My krishi sampatti should be divided equally,

between my three children."

What's krishi sampatti?

[lawyer 1] "My Rolex watches go to Girdhari.

The throne of Morpur and Motibagh Mahal's responsibility,

on the condition that it remains a part of the estate of the Morpur family,

should go to my eldest son, Aviraaj."

[tense trumpet music]

[music fades]

One second.

May I? I think you may have misunderstood something here.

[sighs]

There's a letter, if I may?

"Dear Fizzy,

-Diggy, and Jin--" -I'll read it. Pass it to me.

Here.

"Dear Fizzy, Diggy, and Jinnie,

maybe you don't understand my decisions.

But they were made because I love my family.

But if you still feel hurt, however,

I hope you can please forgive me.

Your loving Baba."

-[Diggy] Wow! -Oh, Pickles.

I mean, wow, this is fantastic.

Calm down, Diggy.

I have no interest in the palace. You can have it.

Well, what a big heart you have!

Keep going, will you?

Please go on.

[hesitates] Yes.

"My financial assets, I leave entirely to Maurice and nobody else."

-[gasps] -[dramatic music]

-Maurice? -[Diggy] Maurice?

Maurice?

-Maurice. -[Diggy] Maurice?

[dramatic music fades]

I need assets given to me. I have big, very big plans.

Hang on.

Who is this Maurice?

[nervous sigh] How am I supposed to know?

-I guess Baba knew him. -Ah, okay.

Baba, who is this Maurice?

-Strange? He's ignoring me? -[sternly] Fizzy!

Oh, that's right, he's dead!

-[both] Fizzy! -What's wrong with you?

-Stop it, Fizzy! -You're out of line, Fizzy!

Fine, I'll stop it. But what do we do about this?

[playful music]

Maurice will be identified. The courts will deal with him.

No one from our family will go to court over this.

If this is your Baba's final instruction,

then we will have to honour it.

And I will find out who this… this Maurice is.

[coughs]

It's just the question of money, isn't it?

We have the property,

the roof, the sky, the butterflies,

the wind, animals, birds all around us.

Everything!

Be grateful that no calamity has yet happened.

Please forgive me, I forgot to tell you all about the debts you have.

♪ Old money, blue blood Rolling out the red rug… ♪

-Debt? -[lawyer 1] Yes.

The Morpur family is heavily in debt.

-Debt? -[Aviraaj] Okay. I am out.

[Padmaja] Fizzy!

-Fizzy. -[Jinnie] Fizzy! He's gone.

-[Maji] Paddy! -Maji!

[Maji] Well, what's going on, Paddy?

[upbeat music]

♪ I am the woman, I'm the Goddess I'm going to get up to the top ♪

♪ I'm going to turn around the system I'm the force that you can't stop ♪

I think Zubin would have to accept what we are offering him.

-Is the shortlist ready? -What do you want? Minimum a year?

Ideally, but I think we can manage to do it in six months.

Come on, Sophia, not again. We're sticking to 12.

-That's the minimum we need. Okay? -Okay.

Just to clarify,

Sophia did get an informal offer.

But how this news got out, I've absolutely no clue.

When this informal offer becomes formalised, come back to us then.

Zubin, you started your first company with 20,000 rupees.

And today, it is an international market leader because of you.

Because of your vision. The same vision that he and I trust so much.

And now it's your turn, Zubin, to show trust in us.

Okay, I get it.

Come to the point. Timeline here?

Eighteen months.

Can we please be a little realistic?

Okay.

-Twelve. Twelve is fair. -Yeah.

A pilot test for 12 months?

You know it's not possible in less than twelve months, Zubin.

You know it better than anybody else in this--

Chill. Six months. Not a day more.

[playful music]

We'll do it.

Six months.

Yeah.

-Okay. -Okay.

-It'll be difficult but we'll do it. -[Zubin] All right.

-Okay. -[Zubin] And if it fails,

it's on the WorkPotato group.

They will be responsible for paying back all the seed money.

With interest.

-That's a little extreme, okay? -Deal.

[upbeat music]

-Deal. -Deal, Miss Shekhar.

[sighs]

[Sophia] Guys, I know we don't have much time.

But if anyone can pull it off, it's you. My team.

You know the drill.

Keertana, do you have a list of Royal palaces ready?

-[Keertana] Ready, ma'am. -With their family details?

-It'll be done, ma'am. -Okay, good.

[Sophia] Niki, our pitch has to be kickass.

-[Niki] Of course. On it, Soph. -We can't take any chances, guys.

[Sophia] Kunal, in the next week, we have to find a palace

-and lock in the deal with the family. -[Kunal] Yeah.

[Sophia] We only have five months until we launch, guys.

-[Kunal] Okay. -In these five months,

we have to lock in accommodation, renovations, design, staffing and testing.

Everything needs to be locked.

Once the rooms are ready, then we focus on our USP.

The thing that makes us different from all the other palace hotels.

Our exclusive royal experiences for the common people.

The Royal B&B.

-[Kunal] Sounds great, Soph. -That's it.

[Sophia] After that, we launch our pilot.

Okay, guys, step one. Let's select our royal palace.

Okay, Niki, you have cross-checked the pitch deck properly--

[Niki] Chill, Soph, everything is in place.

[Sophia] Okay, good.

I love it!

-What was the name of the horse guy? -What a stunning palace, ya, Niki!

Was he hot?

We're here for work. Can we concentrate, please?

Hmm, that hit a nerve. So he was hot.

No, he wasn't hot. [inhale] He was bloody annoying.

-What did the horse guy do? -Well, he couldn't do anything.

Thank you.

[Sophia] And that's why we're here.

We feel that our palaces have not been used properly until now.

The outside promises royalty,

but inside it's the same, regular hotel experience.

Maharani ji, Maharaja ji,

we understand that your USP here

is your art, culture, history and people.

In Royal B&B,

commoners and royalty will be drawn closer.

By coming here and staying with you,

they'll see what it means to be royalty.

Sounds wonderful to me. Ms. Shekhar, we are ready.

That's great.

We have just a couple of points, as I see it.

No, Kunal. This isn't going to be possible.

We have to find an alternative.

Soph, it's just a compromise, I'd say.

They aren't here, but the palace is,

and we have less than six months for our launch.

And there isn't a better palace than this out there.

Without a royal family,

what will be the difference between other palace hotels and us.

Royal B&B's entire ethos is that commoners stay with the royal family

and that's what we are promising them. How will we manage that?

We need an alternative. Okay?

[light music]

-Okay. -Okay!

-[playful music] -[peacocks hoot]

[Padmaja] The expenses of Motibagh are already so high,

and now we have to deal with the debts too.

Electricity cuts have caused this.

My weed babies have struggled to manage with this boiling heat.

Poor babies.

[Padmaja] How could this have happened?

Did he not question how I would manage his estate by myself?

Relax. Get this inside you.

And chill, Paddy.

[sighs]

Tell me what you'll do. Have you thought about it?

Your Pickles has left behind a right little pickle for me.

I'm wondering how we will manage to get food for everyone.

And before any of the three children abandon us again,

the Raja needs a coronation.

Paddy, you.

You must have fun as well.

Meaning?

I am not a romantic, Paddy.

But I do believe one thing, about woman's desires,

and there are those that continue to burn

aside from loving and nurturing her children

or mourning her late husband.

Live a little, Paddy.

You're a widow. You are not dead yet.

[light hopeful music]

[Young Aviraaj] Baba, you have to be there on my birthday.

[Yuvanath] Sorry, Fizzy, I won't be able to attend the party.

But I have a gift for you, son, and you will love him.

[Aviraaj] You're the only thing that Baba did right.

I've missed you a lot, my old friend.

[Rafiq] Your Majesty, you only missed Khan?

And not me?

Hey, Rafiq uncle.

How have you been?

Better now that you're here and back home.

Every day, I've missed you.

But I didn't get even a single hiccup.

-I'll make sure you get some then. -[Rafiq laughs]

We missed each other last time I was here.

It's because you left soon after the last rites were over.

[somber music]

-[Diggy] Onion, salt, duck, curd. -Yes, Majesty.

[music fades]

[sighs]

When he was off travelling the world, modelling and partying

and spending our money in the process,

me, I stayed here, handling all the responsibility alone.

-Yes, Majesty. -I am an idiot.

Yes, Majesty.

[playful music]

Sorry.

[Diggy] I do all the work in the palace,

-and he parties all over the world. -Yes, Majesty.

So why am I still hanging around? I should leave as well.

What do I get for my dedication? Nothing.

Instead of following Baba's orders,

I should've been off enjoying my life as well.

Definitely.

Should have. Then I would have been worthy enough.

Instead, I don't even know

if this duck curry is worth being served in this palace or not.

-[peacocks hoot] -[light music]

Duck curry, Your Majesty.

No, just the salmon for me, Girdhari. Thank you.

Maa…

I'm sorry.

I shouldn't have acted like that.

You needn't worry though.

Before I go back, we'll find a solution. Everybody's here.

You're not going to New York yet.

Try the duck curry, would you?

-Huh? -Duck curry.

No, thanks.

I have to return there, Maa? My life is in New York.

Your new life is here now, Fizzy.

And how long could I handle all this alone?

In fact, maybe I should go and live in New York.

It's a light preparation. Yeah? No extra fats.

-Try it. -I'm okay. Thank you. Thanks.

-Are you sure? -Yeah.

Maa, I'm serious.

That's it. Just go.

I can see that it's not important how I feel.

So all of you can go away now.

I'm here too. Can't everybody see me?

I see you. I also see that you're no longer vegan, huh?

Shall we concentrate on dealing with the problem we have in front of us

and address what has happened?

Any bright ideas about Baba's parting gift conundrum?

Motibagh has to go.

-What? -[both] What?

No, Motibagh is not up for sale.

Maa, the walls of Motibagh and the customs being followed here

are both falling apart together.

So, before they all collapse and take us down with them, let's sell it!

Huh? What you are making fun of, is also our home here.

And Baba loved this palace.

Baba loved his palace for sure, but everybody's future meant nothing at all.

And you care a whole lot about our future.

Thanks to you, we've been stuck here

for the last six months while waiting for you.

Baba's will couldn't be read without you.

Correct. That's the right approach.

The past has a sentimental glow. Future plans are clueless.

Huh. You're the one who's clueless.

Remain in the present please, everybody, alright.

-Hmm. -Absolutely. And presently,

this duck curry is unbelievable. It's delicious.

-Girdhari, compliments to the chef. -Yes.

Let him know that it always makes a big difference

when he cooks for us in a happy mood.

Let's consider how Motibagh can be saved instead.

This Maurice? Do we know anything about him yet?

[hesitates] No, I've been trying to find him.

I don't have a magic wand that I can wave about.

So, I've done everything that I can.

Stop pressurising me.

I believe I found someone.

That Maurice is connected to?

No. Who might be able to save us here.

-Oh. -[gasps]

A company.

-Then you might wanna contact them. -Hmm?

-Call them. -Diggy, call them. Now!

I'm at lunch.

-Oh, that is good. -I knew it!

[lively music]

[Kunal] Thank God, Soph,

that we found Motibagh Palace at such short notice.

I'm surprised though, they accepted our deal without us making a pitch.

Beautiful.

Soph?

[Sophia gasps] Wha… What?

Fuck.

-What… -[Niki] Whoa!

[Niki] This is worse than profile pics on dating apps.

[Kunal] The result of not moving on with the times.

We have to rework the entire budget, guys.

This is a disaster, Kunal.

Six months ago, the Maharaja of Morpur died here.

Apparently his son takes care of everything.

-What's the son's name? -Maharaja Digvijay Singh.

Hmm.

-Soph? -Hmm?

We'll do this together.

[nervous laughter]

This "we'll do it together" of yours, it's more complicated than necessary.

And I can't handle that again.

-Namaste. I'm Girdhari. -Namaste.

-The warmest welcome to Motibagh Palace. -[Sophia] Thank you.

Here we have the royal dining hall.

And yes, if we see the family,

only greet them with a Namaste for now

and extend your hand…

only if they do so first.

Madam! Don't touch the walls, please. They are very old.

-Not touching. -[Girdhari] Thank you.

[Girdhari] This is the royal Darbar Hall.

Morpur Kings have ruled from here, from this very throne.

Rulers have sat here for many generations.

She's so pretty.

[upbeat music]

Madam, please don't sit there.

[Sophia] I am so sorry.

Keertana, you can't sit there.

Look up, ma'am. That--

Girdhari, the palace is wonderful

but if the Maharaja is free, can we have a meeting?

[hesitates] Forgive me. His Majesty will be ready in good time.

Girdhari, it has already been an hour though.

It's okay.

-No problem, Girdhari ji. Let's go. -Certainly.

-[Sophia] Is that him? -[Kunal] Yes.

-Your Majesty. -Hello.

-Hello, Digvijay. How are you? -Welcome. Pleasure.

-Hi. -Sorry you had to wait for our meeting.

That's absolutely fine. Girdhari's palace knowledge is incredible.

Yes, I know. Motibagh and he share a history longer than mine.

[laughs] Your Majesty.

So, Digvijay, are you happy to discuss the terms of the deal?

Of course. I understand the terms and numbers that you've already given.

And I believe you'd like six months for the launch. Correct?

Yeah, but one thing we'd like to make clear

that this will not be a boutique hotel or a venue to hold a celebrity wedding.

We want complete…

[light music]

[upbeat music]

-[Sophia] We want… -Soph, you were saying.

Yeah… that umm…

We need complete creative control.

-Yeah. -[Diggy] That should be doable.

We can go inside and discuss the finer details. But, overall, that--

So, Your Highness? A done deal?

[Diggy] My brother, Aviraaj.

Kunal Mehta, CEO, WorkPotato.

Oh, looks like there may be some confusion.

-I'm CFO. Miss Shekhar is the boss. -Oh.

[Diggy] My apologies, Miss Shekhar.

The Maharaja is forgiven for his mistake.

Sophia Shekhar. CEO, WorkPotato.

[Diggy hesitates] There seems to be some misunderstanding. Umm…

-Slight mistake here as well. -The CEO is forgiven for her mistake.
