Original subtitles

To suffer an accident at such a young age. What a tragedy.

They will take care of the child from now on. Poor thing.

Sweetheart, why don't you come back

with Grandpa and Grandma now?

I only want to go with Mumma and Papa.

I told you that this venture was risky. The media is laughing at us, Sophia.

After investing so much money,

when it's time for the main launch, your Maharaja is nowhere to be seen.

This is no more than a small setback, Zubin.

We're still very much in control.

Our pilot trended and this last one created a media frenzy.

It's called negative media frenzy, Kunal.

How long are you going to be your CEO's mouthpiece, by the way?

Please let her clarify.

I'm speaking for myself.

-Kunal, really? -And I speak for myself.

Whatever has happened so far, I take full responsibility for it, Zubin.

And I'll be the one to fix that too.

I understand that, Sophia.

But it's not so easy.

And I… well, I mean, all of us, can't risk losing more money.

And what if the main launch fails as well?

Then I'll resign as the CEO of the company.

What? Is she serious?

Niki…

The wall of the Yuvanath wing has been painted wrong.

- Niki… Niki! - And we don’t even… What?

I am going to pick you up at 6:00 a.m.

We're going to Alsipur.

I have a great plan to bring our launch back on track.

How are you, Salad?

When did you and this "wannabe royal" become friends?

You used to call him the "Lord of Nowhere."

The moment you left me and went to New York.

I was the one who left you?

Salad looked out for me, supported me.

He and his parties were a welcome distraction.

- It stopped me being lonely without you. - You were lonely?

No goodbye, no warning.

You just upped and left. Is that how you do break-ups?

-Oh, so now I broke up with you? -Do you have water in your ears right now?

Since when did you start writing fiction, Ayesha?

Fiction? Whatever. Come on.

Ignore Salad, if you can. And let's have some fun, okay?

I mean, I would have gladly done it, but he's dressed in a carpet right now.

Fizzy, don't be mean.

Should I?

No, I'm good, babe. I'm topped up.

I'm fine, babe.

What is she doing here?

♪ My baby, baby, don't you cry Come to Mama ♪

♪ Cause Daddy's gonna get you Diamonds and drama ♪

♪ Oh baby, baby We are the tycoons ♪

♪ Who rules the world Everyone dances to my tunes ♪

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

♪ Cause we coming at the scene Cause I got the genes ♪

♪ Coming from a long line Of kings and queens ♪

♪ Royal, sheen, royal Taking whatever we please, royal ♪

♪ Who rules the world ♪

♪ Who rules the world ♪

- Ms. Shekhar! - Mr. Salauddin!

-Salad, if you love me. -Sure.

I was sure you wouldn't refuse my invitation.

-Welcome. It's so great to see you here. -Well, one of our meetings got pushed.

So, here we are! By the way, that's my colleague, Niki.

Darling, Niki. We've met each other before.

-Really? -Hi, Salad. Nice dressing.

- You like it, huh? - She's clearly very funny.

-Welcome to Alsipur. Have a drink. -Sure.

I see it as a small house in this desert around us.

You're being humble, huh?

Are you calling this small?

Honestly, after the Royal B&B Morpur, the Royal B&B Alsipur will be something.

Ah! I'd really like that too.

But let's talk about work tomorrow. Today, let me show you what's on offer.

- No, unfortunately, we have to get back. - Sophia.

Alsipur is right here.

Alsipur is opening up. Look, I insist. It'll be worth your time.

-Sure. -Okay. Good.

-What happened? -Soph, let's go back.

If we knew he was here, we wouldn't have come.

We're here because he's here.

Why? Aviraaj hasn't been answering your calls.

There will be no launch without Aviraaj,

and Zubin has been trying so hard to take over the company.

And I'm not going to let that happen.

Yeah. Why are you torturing yourself by staring at them?

I'm okay. Trust me.

-Sophia, come. -Hmm?

ME I DIDN'T SEE YOU AFTER THE BALL

Just look at him.

A very sweet-talking in order to get a deal with Royal B&B.

Even rocks have more virtue than that guy.

Salad doesn't need to sweet-talk.

Salad is a charmer.

Looks like he's interested in her.

So, do you know her name?

Sophia.

But Salad isn't her type.

I think even she has better taste than that.

Anyway, screw them.

Soon, Papa's hospitality business will be mine to take over.

And then, if you behave yourself this time,

you'll be in the running for a partnership.

Partner?

What? You don't want to be my partner, is it?

Whatever Chef Clinton says, Girdhari, I really want to do this.

Today, I'm going to show everyone my true self, Girdhari

I have complete faith in you, Your Majesty. You show them!

I'm sure you'll do it.

- All the best. - Thank you.

- Where is he going? - Hey, what's he doing?

- Excuse me. Is Gastronautics in there? - Hey! Hello!

Why is he pushing in like that? What the hell?

Do you think it’s a bus line we are waiting in?

- But… - Come back in the queue.

Just go back.

Yeah…

-There's the back. -Yeah, I know.

Sir, you will have to stand here.

You all have probably worked really hard for many years to come here.

But in order to win our hearts and tastebuds today,

you only have 60 minutes.

What do people find so special about your food

that lasts long after they've tasted it?

To answer this question, your time starts now!

Hurry!

Pick up your best ingredients that suit your recipe.

Excuse me. Sorry.

Sorry. I need to pass.

Thank you.

Damn! We are running out of time.

Sir, can you pass that pan, please?

Only five minutes before we shut the pantry.

Oh!

If you forget any ingredient now,

you won't be able to beg, borrow or steal later.

Can't India's most royal couple leave their sun-bed and spend some time with us?

Sophia is my special guest today, and I'm giving her a tour of the Fort.

-Alsipur needs to be associated with her. -Uh-huh!

I will try to impress you by tomorrow a little bit more.

- I'm already quite impressed, Salad. - Ah, I love it!

Hi, Aviraaj.

Hi. Sophia.

Ayesha.

Sorry, at the Romeo and Juliet night, we didn't get to meet.

But it was fun.

Media went a little crazy seeing us back together.

- Right. - You know how it is.

History and all.

But the ball was awesome.

- Good job. - Well, I'm glad you had fun.

-I'll be right back. -Okay, baby.

- Brother Bilal! - Hi!

-Hey, Salad. -My broski! Hi!

- So good to see you. - After breathing fresh air in the Alps,

he's now chilling in Alsipur.

-And Jinnie! -Hi.

Who doesn't know you?

Jinnie, just a three-day viral infection or will it last longer?

Oh!

- What? - Bilal… Tissues!

Hey, are you okay?

So then? How about a tour? Come on.

Both of you carry on. I'll join you.

-You sure? -Hundred percent.

-C'mon, Niki. -I'll be right there.

Okay, let's go. Come on.

-Come on, Salad. -I'll introduce you to my giraffe.

Aviraaj, I need to talk to you. It's a little urgent.

Watch out.

No. No, Fizzy!

Race you to the other side.

Swim! Swim!

As beautiful as ever.

Namaste.

Namaste.

My dear Queen,

I have a deep belief that Yuvanath's soul is resting peacefully in heaven.

And I can only apologise that I was unable to see you sooner.

I'm sorry you weren't able to see me then.

But even now, you didn't think it appropriate to attend our ball?

Your disappointment is valid.

Invited.

Uninvited.

And then invited again.

So, no doubt you sympathise, and can surely see from my point of view.

One can be forgiven for being uncertain.

At least, Ayesha could be there.

I'm glad I could make something happen.

And I heard that my daughter's presence there

added some spice to the proceedings.

Yes, that's why I've come to see you today.

But also to apologise and hope

that you'll be able to forgive me this time.

What do you mean?

That evening at the ball,

Aviraaj embarrassed himself in front of all the media.

After all that happened,

I assumed that you wouldn't be prepared to talk to me.

Do you believe that I wouldn't?

My Queen, there seems to be a great misunderstanding.

I wouldn’t dare.

Plus, now happens to be the moment to move things forward.

How fortunate can Aviraaj be?

And bearing in mind everything that happened,

Ayesha and Aviraaj are currently in Alsipur spending time together.

Doing their best to hide from us out there like disobedient children.

Well then, we should try doing the same as them.

Playing a little hide-and-seek of our own.

-Hey, we gonna race. Down there. -Okay. Go.

Fuck it!

-How's your day going? -Superb.

Are you being ignored as well?

Is your Maharaja ignoring you?

He's in a special mood.

But I'll handle him.

-I need a drink. -Hmm.

The person you are calling is not--

The person you are calling is not answering.

Please call back later.

The person you are calling--

Ow!

Oh shit! Sorry, sorry! I'm going to fail.

Only twelve people will qualify for the next round in Mumbai.

Once there, you will be paired up making six teams competing against each other.

Oh, fuck!

-All the best. -Anyone got any saffron?

No one has it.

-Come on! -The next 15 minutes

could change your destiny.

So, start plating now.

Of course.

Listen, Kunal. Don't get me wrong.

-Yeah. -Okay? But…

you're really wasting your time at WorkPotato, buddy.

See, I know Sophia and me, we are competitors here, yeah--

Sameera, once the anecdotes about you and Sophia start, they're never gonna end.

For that, no more coffee. Only tequila.

I get it. Okay. Listen.

Nobody is denying her abilities,

but she does everything so impulsively without careful thought.

And you know it, Kunal, that a leader should be…

What's that word? Stable.

Stable, not impulsive, anyway.

What are you trying to say to me, Sameera?

Do whatever you want

once you become a CEO.

Lead your own team your way.

It's time to stop worrying about funding. You don't need to worry about that.

Leave that to me. I'll handle it.

Promise me you'll think about it. Hmm?

Trust me.

The projects that we are about to work on are really big.

All right, everyone.

In five, four, three, two, and one!

Time's up!

Please step away from your stations.

Ready for a surprise?

So, here to judge round 1 of Gastronautics,

India's most favourite chef,

please welcome Chef Clinton.

Thank you, sir.

Glad to be here.

-Thank you so much. Such a pleasure. -Welcome to the show.

Let's start!

- Contestant 512? - Yes, ma'am.

The presentation looks good. But there are too many flavours clashing.

Better luck next time.

Contestant 251.

Looks interesting.

When I got the call from Gastronautics, to be fair, I was skeptical.

I wondered if any of the contestants would bring anything new to the table.

So I am happy they have.

Molshri Mittal,

welcome to round two in Bombay!

-Well done! -Thank you!

-Thank you, Chef. -Congratulations

-It's our pleasure. She did well. -All the best.

Contestant 157.

So then, what have we here today, Dilip?

Saffron Shorba.

Can you tell us something about it?

Yep, it's a family recipe that I've made for you here today.

Hmm…

Only using ingredients that can withstand the heat of our region that it comes from.

Lentil flour, whole spices and saffron.

I often say to people,

the only difference between home-cooked or chef-made

is that inner fire.

Sure, it's cooked by the stove fire but that's not what elevates it.

Because that's the inner fire and chefs are made by that.

Yes, of course.

And today, in this dish you've made…

You have used both fires excellently!

It's pretty well done, Dilip.

As dreadful as it looks, the taste is on point.

Hmm.

But, Dilip, to be a Gastronaut one day,

you'll have to do lots more.

So, in the next round, work hard on your flaws and keep that fire burning.

Yes, Chef.

Congratulations.

-Congratulations. -Congratulations and all the best!

Ayesha is a perfect child in every way.

She's beautiful, and smart as well.

A daughter of yours after all.

Undoubtedly, she will receive many proposals.

There have been many proposals.

And by the way, out of all three of my children,

Ayesha is the smartest by far.

I assume that's the reason, she's picked your Aviraaj out of everyone.

I believe you're aware,

Morpur has lost some of its glory.

Don't worry, my dear Queen, I'm well aware of your debts.

And despite all that, Aviraaj has made quite a name for himself.

Morpur may no longer be well known,

but Aviraaj… everyone knows him.

I believe, what's destined to happen

is that soon after Ayesha and Aviraaj get married to each other,

my business, Dhondi Hospitality, will be known all over the world.

Aren't you afraid that you're dreaming too big?

If we turn this friendship into a relationship today,

this dream of mine will become destiny.

Are your dreams always this big?

You should share my dreams one day.

-Hi. -Hi.

-We really need to talk, Aviraaj. -Let it be, Sophia.

How can I let it be, Aviraaj?

You've been avoiding me because of a misunderstanding.

And I think it's time we talk.

You know, I think I overreacted a bit that night.

Anyway, Ayesha and I were bound to meet sooner than later.

So, you just made it happen sooner.

Well, I'm glad I could help.

Now, can we discuss the launch?

-Aviraaj, your presence there is very-- -No, that's impossible.

Now, I know I can't trust you anymore.

And you know you can't expect anything from me though. So…

Hey, Fizzy!

Are you ready for a wild night?

You look so good.

-Oh, hi. -Hi.

You look cute.

-So do you. -I know.

-Shall we? -Sure, let's go.

There you go. Come.

- Jinnie's coming, right? - Yeah, I suppose so.

Aviraaj still doesn't even know if he actually wants Morpur or not.

Ayesha also doesn't know

if she wants Aviraaj or not.

It seems like every minute, our children change their minds.

They say something today and then do something different. Huh!

Forget about them.

Hmm?

And how about…

you tell me what it is that…

you actually desire?

Lord Salauddin Khan welcomes you to another unforgettable party.

I assume you're all ready to rock.

Today, all of you will see Alsipur in its full glory.

It's a celebration of friendship, love and the desert!

Yeah, come on! Come on, everybody!

Get some. Try it. Take some. Come on.

-You can get some. Try it. Don’t feel shy. -I think I'll skip it.

Come on! Trust me, nothing's gonna happen.

It's all good. Just a little bit of fun.

Come on! Try it.

Ms. Shekhar is not exactly aware of the concept of fun and enjoyment.

So, maybe you should show her your ways.

Yeah, baby! Yeah!

Whoo!

Okay. One more. Go for it. Whoo!

Okay. Let's go!

Hey, do you know that girl?

She's been staring at me for a while now.

It looks like she's into me.

What do you think? She hasn't moved all night…

Do I know her?

No. No, you don't know her.

You don't know her.

Uh…

Jinnie!

Niki!

-Niki! Niki, wait. Wait. -I got the message.

That's not what's going on here, I promise.

I know what's going on.

What you're doing now, I already did it ten years ago.

It's difficult to accept reality. I know.

And I don't want to force you,

but that doesn't mean, Jinnie, that you're allowed to treat me like shit.

No. No, that's…

Okay. I'm sorry.

You know, what happened between us the other night,

has never happened to me, you see.

I mean, obviously, it's happened before but with a…

And I was completely terrified.

You're fearless and great, and more power to you.

But I don't know if I'm ready for this.

And I don't know why I kissed that stupid Bilal!

I'm really sorry--

I'm feeling sick, Fizzy.

- I can't walk. - Okay.

Here we go.

-Thank you. -Are you okay?

- Kiss me! - I love it here!

That's why I say, come to Alsipur because magic…

All right. Let's go.

Alsipur.

Come on, Sophia Shekhar.

It's not over.

-Come on. -Stop it.

Come on.

- Ayesha, what are you doing? - Hold me properly, Fizzy.

Just come.

Wow, Your Majesty!

This was great fun.

-Congratulations. -Thank you.

I appreciate you coming along, Girdhari.

One day, I'll come to your house and cook something special for your whole family.

Your Majesty, you're welcome to come, but it will only be me there.

Who else do I have in my family apart from you, Your Majesty?

Sometimes I feel…

like you're the only family I've got to.

Cheers!

Yeah.

Yeah, okay, Ash, you're good?

Okay, let it out.

Okay.

Just…

- Hold my hair. - I'm holding it. Okay?

You're spoiling it.

-Should I hold it? Okay. Just… -You're spoiling my hair.

Okay, let it out.

Again!

Take it off, Salad.

Take it off! Come on!

You like this, huh?

I love it.

I don't usually lose.

Neither do I.

Oh. This game I don't mind losing.

Your deal.

Come on.

Wait a second.

If I lose again this time…

then let the real games begin.

You know what?

I think we should call it a night.

Yeah.

Niki and I have to leave tomorrow,

and I'm very drunk.

I'm very tired.

And I had so much fun. Thank you, Salad.

I thought my dreams would come true

But He believes in waiting

I thought my dreams would come true

But He believes in waiting

I have been sitting On the bank of the river

But alas, my thirst is not abating

If I quench your thirst

Then you might drown

So put on your shirt

And go lie down

-I have a question for you. -Hmm?

Why are you in Alsipur?

To discuss our plans for the future.

With me or with Aviraaj?

Aviraaj and I, we keep having our discussions.

Anyway, our launch is coming up soon.

so I thought maybe it's a great time for us to discuss Royal B&B Alsipur. Hmm?

Do you know what we have in common?

-What, Salad? -Ambition.

Right.

Morpur doesn't value you.

But I do.

So, I'm offering you another option.

-What? -Meaning,

Dhondi Hospitality is now managed by Ayesha.

So?

If she and Aviraaj are together,

which company…

which company do you think Motibagh will do business with? Hmm?

Yeah, but,

Aviraaj has signed a contract with us.

And honestly, they don't have enough money to end this contract. So…

But the Dhondi Maharaja possibly could.

Yeah, but it…

it…

It just doesn't make any good business sense, so…

Business sense? Sophia, business sense?

Who cares about business here?

Our existence is defined by our image.

And for Morpur, which is it?

Dhondi's reputation or Sophia Shekhar?

Now you've seen into the world of royalty,

it's important you know the truth.

Beneath our gold and expensive clothing,

we wear torn and tattered garments.

-You okay? -Hmm.

Please don't go, Fizzy.

Look after me?

-Don't go. -Okay.

Sleep now.

I'm so glad we met again.

Imagine,

your mother might not have called me the other day,

and we'd never have met again.

Ma…

Maa called you?

-Hmm? -Ash, you said Maa called you?

Yeah.

She wants us to get married.

You and I know, right?

We deserve each other.

And our families deserve each other. So, lucky them.

And you still love me, I know it.

-Ash… -You love me, no?

Ash, it's okay. Go to sleep now.

It's okay. Just rest.

When did Maa call you?

Hmm? Can you tell me?

After we heard those stupid event people had dis-invited us.

You know it's crazy, right?

But it's okay

because Paddy aunty made a point of inviting us to the ball again.

So, it's all good.

Whatever has happened so far,

I take full responsibility for it, Zubin.

And I will be the one to fix that too.

I understand your wish.

But it's not so easy.

And I… well, I mean, all of us, can't risk losing more money.

And what if the main launch fails--

Then I'll resign as the CEO of the company.

Sophia, I am coming in.

Hang on, don't do that. Let me do it.

-Wait, I've got this. One second. -I'm okay.

-I'm okay, Aviraaj! I said I can do it! -I'll do it, Sophia.

I'll do it. Just… I'll do it.

It's okay. I'll take care of it.

It's fine.

Sophia, there's something I need to talk to you about.

Yeah, but I'm not interested in talking to you.

My patience level is running out.

My patience level is running out

to be fighting with everyone, especially with you.

Okay, no, I'm not here to fight. I just want to talk, that's it.

Oh, now you want to talk? Now you want to talk?!

How many days have I been calling you for?

Today, all day like a bloody stalker, I was running behind you.

And all you kept saying was, "Not now, Sophia!"

Now, I don't want to talk to you!

You know what? I feel like everyone's standing with a weapon to fight with me.

My board is trying to take over my company, Aviraaj.

My company! My company, for which I sacrificed everything!

I had no friends. I took no vacations.

I had no family. No personal life! Nothing at all!

And I've become so pathetic that nobody is even answering my calls.

Diggy isn't answering, neither is Kunal. And you!

-You aren't even talking to me, Aviraaj! -I'm here.

I'm here, Sophia.

Now you're here. Yeah? Really?

If you're here, then why do I keep feeling like

I have to do everything without you, Aviraaj?

I thought you were angry with me because of Ayesha.

Then what is Ayesha doing here with you?

Why is she here with you?

- Let me explain. - No!

I don't need an explanation, Aviraaj!

I'm so done with you treating me like a bloody hobby!

Today, you'll show interest. Tomorrow, you won't show interest.

Today, you'll dance. Tomorrow, you won't dance.

I'm done! And you know what? I get it.

-If Ayesha who is a princess, -I hear you.

-wants to be with you, -I understand.

then why would you be interested in a common girl like me.

-Okay, I'm listening. -You're not listening!

Okay, Sophia, just shut up! Shut up. Please.

I know that you dis-invited Ayesha.

Doesn't matter because you didn't believe me.

Sorry. I'm sorry.

I should've trusted you before. I didn't. I'm sorry.

I'm not interested in Ayesha at all.

I'm not interested in anyone else.

I've never met anyone like you.
