Original subtitles

But Ms. Sehar, according to his accusation,

Rohit hired you at the company.

He hired you as part of a premeditated plan,

and then, as part of that very plan,

he testified against Kamran in court.

Initially, Kamran's lawyer presented this in court

as a plan devised by my family and me.

Because at that time, Kamran assumed Rohit would testify in his favor.

And I want everyone to know

that Rohit's name was originally on Kamran's list of witnesses.

But later, when Rohit refused to testify against me,

his name was removed from the list.

Then, when the court summoned him as a witness,

Kamran and his lawyer claimed it was a conspiracy hatched by me,

Rohit, and Manisha.

But these lies from Kamran and his lawyer won't work anymore.

But that's exactly Kamran Haider's accusation.

That all of you were in on this from the start,

and it has only now come to light.

If that's true,

then why isn't his own wife, Kiran, standing by his side?

I can tell you for a fact

that if Kiran were to stand by the truth today,

Kamran would accuse her of being part of this plan, too.

Vile woman.

That's a valid point, Ms. Sehar. It really is.

But the issue is, Mrs. Kiran has never said a single word against Kamran.

But has she said anything in his defense either?

When you contacted Kiran, did she respond?

She didn't, right? I know.

Being a woman, it's incredibly difficult.

It isn't easy to face the entire world and speak out like this.

She's married to him.

He is her child's father. He is her husband.

Besides, you know the kind of problems women already face in our society.

How can a woman whose husband has committed such a terrible crime

be expected to come forward and speak so easily?

You had her pegged all wrong.

Look.

Just look at how confidently she's answering.

That's correct.

We'd like to inform our viewers

that we have repeatedly tried to contact Mrs. Kiran to get her side of the story,

but she has not responded.

Mrs. Kiran,

if you wish to present your side of the story,

you can do so on this program. This show is live.

You can give your statement whenever you wish.

Shahzeb, it's critical that Kiran speaks up.

She needs to say what she knows,

in her own words,

but she must say something.

I just want to see whether an educated, successful woman

who privately admits the truth will speak that truth in public,

or if she'll stick to a lie.

Privately, Ms. Sehar? What do you mean?

Shahzeb, instead of getting into the details of that,

I'll just say that

Kiran should come on your platform and state her point of view.

She knows I'm in the right.

She just needs to come out and stand with the truth.

If we let Kamran get away with this today,

he'll just do the same thing to someone else tomorrow.

Another innocent person's life will be ruined.

Only prison bars can stop Kamran, not Kiran's silence.

Viewers, this is a critical point.

We'd like to reiterate

that we are continuously trying to contact Mrs. Kiran

to get her side of the story.

Mrs. Kiran, you have an opportunity.

You have a chance to bring the truth to light.

The impact of your truth won't just be on this case,

but on future cases where only three percent of women get justice.

And these are the women

who find the courage to file a police report and deal with the courts.

Where is he going with this?

Our program is live.

The decision is yours, Mrs. Kiran.

We'll now take a short break.

Come on, Kiran. Pick up the call.

Hello.

Kiran, are you watching what Sehar's doing on TV?

She's dragging my name through the mud for the whole world to see.

She hasn't just put my future on the line, but yours, Zoe's, all of ours!

Kiran, please. Just for today, you have to back me up.

Make a statement in my favor. Please, Kiran.

If you think for a second that I'm going to sympathize with you

or give an interview in your defense, then you're delusional.

Because from now on, the only person who can feel sorry for you is yourself.

Kiran,

I know I made a mistake.

Please, just forgive me. Please.

A mistake? Is that what you call it?

Rape is not a mistake, damn it.

It's a crime! A heinous crime!

That wasn't a mistake. It was your choice.

And there is always a choice.

You made yours.

I only wish I'd understood that sooner.

Kiran, think of all the years we've had together.

I can't remember a single time you didn't have my back.

You were always there for me.

And I can't remember you ever raping a girl before, Kamran.

Give me one more chance, Kiran.

Just one more chance.

Save me, just this once.

I promise, I'll be an angel.

You can't even be a decent human being.

How are you going to become an angel, Kamran?

I'm not going to speak for you,

nor am I staying with you.

I want a divorce, and I want it before this case is over.

Hold on, just wait a minute. Just listen to me.

What are you going to tell our daughter when I get sentenced? Huh?

What are you going to tell her about who her father was?

I won't tell Zoe what her father was like.

I'll tell her what a father should be like.

Shut up, Kiran.

If you ever say anything like that about me again,

I'll make you regret it.

Don't you dare threaten me.

I'll do what I have to do.

What are you talking about?

You're my wife. The mother of my child.

You're my partner in the company.

If I go down, you're coming down with me!

Everything will be over, Kiran.

Fine.

Then so be it. But I'd still rather watch you lose.

Because right now, Kamran, what matters isn't my victory,

but your defeat.

Kamran, I sacrificed so much of my past for the sake of our future.

And now the future is here,

but instead of moving forward, we've gone backwards.

I'm not sacrificing my future or Zoe's for you anymore.

The damage you were going to do, you've already done.

No.

No, no, Kiran, you can't do this.

Oh, I can do everything you think I'm incapable of.

God will never forgive you for this, Kiran.

The universe will take its revenge on you for this injustice.

Humans are the ones who struggle to tell the difference

between the oppressor and the oppressed.

God sees everything.

But it's a law of nature that karma never loses an address.

And right now, it's knocking on your door.

I will hate you for this, Kiran!

I will hate you!

Uroosa, call Kamran's wife.

Who knows, she might come on the show.

Okay, I'll try calling.

Hello.

Greetings, Kiran.

My name is Uroosa, and I'm the assistant producer of the program

I believe you're watching right now.

Yes, I am.

Kiran, would you be willing to give us your point of view

regarding the program?

Kiran, please.

You've already seen that Sehar has mentioned you.

Do you believe your husband is guilty?

I can neither confirm nor deny that.

So, Kiran, can we run your statement on the program?

Yes, you can.

You can run it word for word.

Okay, Kiran. Thank you so much.

Bye.

Great.

Kiran has given us her statement.

Oh?

And what did she say?

She says she will neither confirm

nor deny Sehar's allegations against Kamran.

That's what she said? Verbatim?

Yes, that's what she said.

She also said to run her statement on the show, word for word.

That's a confession of sorts.

It means she believes Sehar's allegations against Kamran are true.

Uroosa, do me a favor.

Type out her statement word for word and text it to her.

Ask her to confirm the message, just so she can't back out of it later.

All right.

Okay, so where's her contact number?

Message.

What did Kiran say?

Kiran is saying that

she will neither confirm nor deny your allegations against Kamran.

So, how does that work in my favor and against him?

A wife is refusing to defend her husband

from such a major allegation, Ms. Sehar.

Especially after what you said,

that Kiran privately confessed to you

that Kamran committed this crime.

This works against Kamran in every way possible.

Then why won't she come and say it herself?

Because, just as you said, Ms. Sehar,

it probably isn't easy for her

to appear in the media and publicly level

such a serious accusation against her husband.

Shahzeb. We've got Kiran's response.

She has verified her statement.

Okay, perfect.

How long until we're on air?

There's a thirty-second break, then we're live.

Ms. Sehar, we're about to go on air.

Come on.

Oh my God.

Madam, the traffic is at a standstill.

Is there another route?

See if there’s a turn-off to the left.

-Let me see if we can go left. -Yes, take that.

-Please, step on it. -Yes, ma'am.

Five,

four,

three,

two,

one, cue.

Welcome back to the show.

We have Ms. Sehar still with us,

and we are about to break some huge news.

While Mr. Kamran Haider did not respond to our questions,

and we tried to contact him multiple times,

his wife, Kiran, has just given her response.

We asked her if she would confirm

that she believes Sehar Moazzam is in the right,

and that her husband Kamran Haider is in the wrong.

She responded that she would neither confirm nor deny it.

We want to repeat

that the main suspect in this case, Kamran Haider's wife, Kiran,

has refused to defend her husband against the allegations.

Moreover, she has neither confirmed nor denied Ms. Sehar's allegations.

What have you done, Kiran? What have you done?

You've absolutely destroyed me.

Let's get Ms. Sehar's thoughts on this.

Sehar, what do you have to say about this development?

I just want to say,

I know you're watching right now, Kiran.

Now that you've decided to stand up for the truth,

please, don't just go halfway.

Go all the way.

Tell the whole truth.

And you know

that even right now, Kamran must be planning his next move.

The man who couldn't be loyal to his own best friend

can't be loyal to anyone, Kiran.

Kiran,

why would you make a statement against Kamran?

Mom, I've done nothing compared to what I should have done.

Look, sweetheart, until the court has given its verdict,

don't do anything rash.

Why are you so determined to ruin your marriage

over what other people are saying?

Mom, please, just go.

Ms. Sehar, tell us,

throughout this entire case,

did Mr. Kamran Haider ever try to approach you

or attempt to reach a settlement?

He most certainly did.

He tried to settle and even offered me money.

He offered you the money himself?

No, he sent Rohit to my house with a cheque.

Mr. Rohit admitted to this in court.

He confirmed Mr. Kamran sent a cheque to you through him,

but he also testified that you tore it up.

Even if I hadn't torn up that cheque,

Kamran and his lawyer would have just cooked up another accusation.

They would have claimed he was a partner in the company

and that he had tricked Kamran into signing something.

That's all they do. It's just one lie after another.

But Ms. Sehar, despite everything

Kamran Haider and his lawyer have done,

in the end,

both Rohit and Kiran stood by you.

Does that make you hopeful you'll win this case?

Honestly, the only one who has truly supported me is Manisha.

Rohit only came clean at the eleventh hour,

which was the right thing to do.

Kiran might have stopped supporting her husband,

but that doesn't mean she supported me.

Refusing to speak up against a lie

isn't the same as speaking up for the truth, Shahzeb.

And as for being hopeful, yes.

I am hopeful. I will win this.

Because I know the truth is on my side.

While I may have lost faith in the system,

my faith in God is absolute.

So, for the benefit of our viewers,

could you explain how we got to this point?

Kamran Haider is now leveling accusations

against his own friend, Rohit, and his wife, Manisha.

Manisha was on your side, Rohit stood with Kamran,

and now, somehow, they're both standing with you.

You know, Shahzeb,

I think the reason people find it so hard to understand is that

in our society,

a woman having a mind of her own, an opinion separate from her husband's,

is seen as extraordinary.

For many, it's simply unacceptable.

But Manisha didn't care about any of that, and she stood by me.

That speaks volumes.

She didn't even stop to think that her own marriage could be on the line.

And for that, I will be eternally grateful to her.

Manisha proved

that being married means you stand by your partner when they're right,

not stand by them when they're wrong.

So, are you saying

that Manisha and Rohit were at odds over this case from the very beginning?

That Rohit stood by his friend,

while Manisha stood by you,

and when Rohit finally changed his stance,

Kamran accused them of conspiring with you?

Please. If this were some grand conspiracy,

it never would have come to this.

The whole matter would've been put to rest ages ago.

Who would willingly choose to go through this kind of agony?

Who would put their family through it?

What my family is enduring, what I am enduring,

who in their right mind would want this?

Ms. Sehar, you were mercilessly trolled on social media.

The whole country witnessed a vicious smear campaign against you.

Yet you maintain that Kamran Haider was the one pulling all the strings.

That's because he was.

I tried to do things the right way.

I took my complaint through the proper legal channels,

but just like countless others, I received no justice.

I've dealt with my own share of pain, and I continue to deal with it.

But Shahzeb, what my family was put through,

that is something I can never forget.

My parents. My brother.

Kamran turned them into a laughingstock.

My relationship to them has become a stain on their name.

They can't go anywhere, can't face anyone.

The way people have treated them,

I will never forget that.

To everyone who supported Kamran in his propaganda,

I just hope something like this never happens to anyone you love.

Because it's so easy to sit behind a screen and post a comment like that.

And in this age of social media,

you can't tell who's being truthful and who's lying,

what's right and what's wrong.

So I'm just begging all of you,

please, think long and hard before you write anything.

Because a single comment can destroy someone's life.

I don't have the words to explain my family's pain, and mine.

I'm sorry.

Your call has been forwarded to an automatic voice message system.

Pick up the phone, Mr. Bukhari.

Please, just pick up. I need you to answer.

Kiran has destroyed me in front of the entire world.

Tell me what I should do.

Please, answer your phone.

Please, just pick up. I need you to answer.

Kiran has destroyed me in front of the entire world.

Tell me what I should do.

Please, answer your phone.

Yes, Shafiq, what is it?

Mr. Kamran, you have to get on that show now.

Go and face Sehar, or it will be too late.

Shafiq, what are you talking about?

What am I supposed to do on there?

My own wife just dragged my name through the mud for the whole world to see.

She's not your wife anymore, Mr. Kamran.

You need to think about yourself now.

She's backed you into a corner,

so you need to do what's necessary.

What can I do?

Shafiq, tell me, what can I possibly do?

I can't even think straight right now.

If I go on TV in this state and say one wrong thing,

it'll be a disaster.

Listen to me,

I think Mr. Bukhari can handle all of this in court.

You know what I'm saying? Let him deal with it.

Mr. Kamran, you’re the one who started this trial by media.

So you need to see it through to the end.

Just park the car and wait here.

I'll go up and be right back. Okay? Thank you.

Shahbaz.

I just got a message from Kamran.

He wants to come on the show right now.

Tell him we're in the middle of Sehar's interview.

He can join us after the break.

Okay, I'll let him know.

Hello.

Yes, Mr. Kamran.

We can have you join via video call in about ten minutes.

Ten minutes? Why ten minutes?

I need to get on now.

We're live with Sehar's interview at the moment.

That's exactly my point.

Why wait?

I need to go on air with Sehar right now.

Okay, Mr. Kamran.

I'll see what I can do. Please hold.

Are you listening to me?

Put me on the live show. Right now!

Am I clear?

Okay, okay, I'll get back to you.

Alright?

Just...

What a foolish, ignorant man!

To hell with this.

She’s slamming the phone in my face.

Look, Shahbaz, Kamran keeps insisting on the same thing.

I've explained it to him so many times.

Look, he's calling again.

Let me talk to him.

Yes, Mr. Kamran, this is the show's executive producer speaking.

Please don't worry.

You will be given plenty of time.

Look, I've said this time and again, and I'm saying it one more time.

I need to go on air right now, and with Sehar.

Do you get it?

Then let me make something crystal clear.

This isn't your company,

where you can throw your weight around.

This is my show.

We cannot put a rape survivor on screen with her alleged assailant.

The interview is on the table, if you want it.

Otherwise, the choice is yours.

What do you mean by that?

Hello?

Beenish?

Manisha, I have a crucial piece of evidence.

We need to share this with Sehar immediately.

Where is the show's producer?

Right this way. Come with me.

Every point you're making is crucial, Ms. Sehar.

Of course, society needs to reflect on this.

We need to think about how posting anything on social media

or saying anything in the news can impact people's lives.

However, I do have a question for you regarding that very point.

Take a commercial break now.

I need to share something very important with you.

Alright, viewers, we need to take a quick break.

After we return, we will present some important facts about this case.

We also have some of our own findings to share.

But for now, we're going to a commercial.

Stay with us. We'll be right back.

What happened, Shahbaz? Why did we go to a commercial?

We have some crucial evidence for Sehar.

You should see this.

Okay, send the evidence to the studio.

What's all this?

Here, take a look. These are the call logs for all of Kamran's employees.

Go through them.

Who brought this?

Sehar's lawyer.

This just goes to show how corrupt Inspector Shafiq and Kamran really are.

Is this information authentic?

That's what Sehar's lawyer is saying.

We don't have time to verify it,

but there's no reason to doubt this information.

It's your call.

Alright,

I'll handle this information my way after the break.

But Kamran is still insisting on coming on the show now, while Sehar is live with us.

What are we going to do?

What do you mean by that?

We can’t put a rape survivor on air with her accused.

Shahbaz and I tried to make him understand,

but he just won’t listen.

He’s threatening to sue us if you don’t bring him on.

Then let him sue us.

We’ll interview him today, but not with Sehar.

He can come on after her segment is finished.

Okay.

I’m ready to face Kamran.

Are you sure, Ms. Sehar?

Yes, I’m sure.

No, no, Ms. Sehar.

I really don’t think that’s necessary at all.

How much longer is he going to keep lying?

I’m going to face him myself today.

Alright.

Get him on after the break, Uroosa.
