Avoid the highway, ask Ghanshyam to take the service road.

No Ghanshyam. I'm driving.

Hey!

Late again, huh?

Hi, hubby!

Don't call me that.

Where were you all this time?

Board meetings, Office work.

I've been very, very busy.

Hmm.

Why, you missed me?

What do you think?

I don't know. Did you?

You didn't even call me once.

I texted you.

"I'm busy." That was very sweet of you.

You're looking cute today.

You're looking so cute!

We should take a selfie. Come on.

Come closer. Come on.

Yes, Lata.

Yeah, Ram. Where did you reach?

Yeah, I've reached the airport

Oh, good.

Stop it!

Listen, uh, Lata, my battery is dying. I'll have to call you when I land, okay?

Yeah, yeah, okay. Have a safe flight.

Okay, bye-bye!

That was really childish.

Wear your seatbelt.

Ram

Hmm?

If you don't mind, can I ask you one thing about Lata ji?

Ask away.

If she's such an expert at delivering babies,

Why couldn't she do it for herself?

Ram?

That was really heartless.

Sorry, I didn't mean it that way.

Nowadays, there are so many ways one could conceive.

We tried everything.

Ram

Do you love Lata ji?

We've been married 20 years.

20 years of arranged marriage.

20 years of arranged marriage.

Sure, you married her.

But did you ever love her?

Of course, I loved her. I told you.

"Loved?" As in, past tense.

Slip of tongue, babe. I meant; I love her.

Are you trying to convince me or yourself?

Nothing like that, Niru.

Lata is different, you're different.

As in, she's your true love and I'm just your side chick, right?

Or maybe I'm just a fantasy, Something that Lata couldn't give you in bed.

That's such nonsense, Niru. You know that I love you.

My little dumbo.

I'm putting this off.

These songs feel as old as you are.

Very boring.

Oh, really?

Oh, really?

You want me to prove it to you right now?

No! Ram, no.

Oh, come on, Niru.

- The weather's so good. - No.

We don't want to waste this opportunity.

You're right.

It's beautiful outside.

Yeah.

Perfect for a selfie.

What?

What are you doing, Niru?

I'll take your selfie.

I'll take your selfie, come here.

Take your selfie. Go on, take it, take it.

This side.

You know, Sometimes I feel like I'm in a dream.

I've made him blind.

You're so sly.

Yeah.

What did you think?

I thought you'd be upset.

Upset?

Niru, I'm going to be a father. For the first time.

Finally!

You look cute when you're like this.

I just want to be happy.

Are you not scared?

Are you not scared?

Of what?

Of what others would say. Your colleagues.

Lata ji.

Why do we have to tell anyone? This is our baby.

Our world.

We don't need to tell anyone. We'll just be happy among ourselves.

So, you'll meet my baby Only when you're not busy

With your normal life and Lata ji.

Right, Ram?

Sorry, Ram.

This won't work.

What do you mean?

I mean; I want a simple, normal life.

One which I can live without hiding from anyone.

Niru, this baby is the most Important thing in the world for me.

This baby will end your marriage.

Why?

What would happen? Everything is fine as it is.

Ram, I will have to live a lie forever.

Ram, I will have to live a lie forever.

You're complicating things.

No, I'm simplifying them.

How?

Just answer this question.

What?

Do you want this baby or not?

Such a silly question, Niru.

Obviously, the answer is yes.

Then you have to say this in front of everyone.

In front of the whole world.

Even Lata ji.

That's not possible.

Then, I'm ready for an abortion.

You have no right to say that, Niru!

This is my child too.

What exactly do you want?

As in?

If you need more money, let me know. How much do you want?

Just tell me.

Niru! Stop it!

I shouldn't have said it. I'm sorry!

I shouldn't have said it, I'm sorry. Okay?

I'm sorry.

No more questions, Niru.

No more questions.

No, Ram. Please be honest.

You'll marry me, right?

Exactly my point.

At least give me some time!

It is complicated.

Just give me a date.

No, Lata ji, please.

You stay here.

Ram needs you.

Can you drive?

We have to let him rest.

We'll have to wait

until we get some network Or till Govind gets back.

Lata ji

I'm sorry.

Sorry for what?

For all that happened.

Why should you be sorry?

You just did what girls like you do for money.

I want to ask Ram that

I want to ask Ram that

How could he bring someone like you in my house?

What was going on here?

How did Ram fall from there?

Up there, Ram just lost his balance.

He couldn't hold himself.

What were you doing up there?

What were you doing up there?

He was trying to catch me.

Why don't you just say that

You and Ram were having wild and lusty sex all over the house?

Lata ji,

this is not how you think it is.

Ram and I weren't having a casual affair.

This is not an affair.

This is just Ram's lust

And your jackpot.

But why?

He couldn't find someone or...

Lata ji

I'm not a call girl.

That's the word.

I just didn't want to say it.

You're wrong.

You're wrong.

I am wrong?

And you're not at fault?

I said sorry to you.

Keep that to yourself.

I'm just trying to understand What did he see in you that he...

Love.

Really?

Look at yourself.

What do you have?

Looks? Class? Style?

Sexy body?

What would make Ram fall in love with you?

What's so special in you?

I don't know.

But Ram really loves me.

He loves me a lot.

He loves me a lot.

Does Govind know?

And Ram's colleagues?

No.

Who's calling? At this hour?

Do you have other lovers?

It's my mother.

Does your mother know about all this?

No.

Then let's tell her now.

Lata ji, please.

Lata ji, please.

- Give me the phone. - Please, please.

Please.

Please.

Is your mother involved in all this?

My mother doesn't know about any of this.

You must be thinking that I'm angry at you, right?

I'm not angry.

Actually, I feel sorry for you.

You know why?

I see a lot of girls like you in my clinic.

Some even younger than you.

Some even younger than you.

You know the tragedy of us women?

Each of us thinks, "My husband isn't like this."

We never learn. Do we?

That, men

will be men.

You're an idiot.

You thought that now your life is set.

Ram Varma proposed you.

But you know what the truth is?

Ram trapped you.

Just to fulfil his damn fantasies.

Do you still think that Ram truly loves you?

Yes.

Ram loves me.

More than me?

Ram likes you a lot.

He keeps complimenting you. He respects you, Lata ji.

I know that.

But he doesn't love you.

How dare you comment on our life?

Just because a man slept with you

You think he loves you?

That's not love, you fool.

That's not love, you fool.

That's called lust.

I know the difference between love and lust.

If this weren't love, it wouldn't have lasted so long.

How long has it been?

Six months?

Four.

You think four months is a long time?

Ram and I have been married for 20 years.

20 years!

That was marriage.

This is love.

I'm amazed at your audacity.

If someday, Ram finds someone else

And he throws you away, What then?

I don't know about the future.

But I am his present.

And no one else.

Not even you.

Not even you.

You're saying that to me?

In my house?

Be grateful That I've been kind to you.

Anyone else in my place, would've killed you by now.

If I were in your place,

I wouldn't stay with a man who loves someone else

And not me.

Give me your phone.

- Your mother should know what you're doing. - Ma'am, no.

Ma'am, please.

Now she will decide. Give me your phone!

No ma'am, please! Please don't drag my mother into this!

I'll just go away! I'll go away.

What happened now?

Your love disappeared?

As per convenience?

If Ram really loves me,

he'll call me for sure.

And if this was his lust,

He wouldn't have to worry about me.

You've got 10 minutes.

Pack your bags and leave.

Don't ever come here again.

Ease your head.

Easy, easy, Ram.

Lata...

Why...

Why did you do this, Ram?

Why?

I'm sorry, Lata.

I'm sorry.

Didn't expect this from you, Ram.

What did I do wrong, Ram?

Did I make a mistake? Somewhere in our marriage?

No, Lata. This is not your fault.

What do you see in that girl, Ram?

I don't know.

It's just...

When I'm with her, I...

I'm so happy.

So happy.

Ma'am.

My bag.

Don't let her go, Lata, please.

Don't let her go.

Don't let her go, Lata, please.

Please. Wait.

You're not in your senses.

You need sleep.

Take some rest, okay?

Lata, Niru...

Niru is pregnant.

It's my child.

I'm going to be a father.

You're not in your senses.

I want...

I want Niru to be...

The mother of my baby.

I want her to be my...

To be my... my wife.

Ma'am! Ma'am, please!

Ma'am!

Ma'am, please, ma'am.

Please don't hurt him.

I'll leave him for good.

Please. Please don't hurt him.

I promise.

Ram will never see me again.

Niru

Please, don't be angry at Lata ji.

All this is too difficult for her.

Lata ma'am, really loves you.

Niru...

So, I'm leaving. I'm sorry.

Don't go.

I need you.

Lata, please.

Please let Niru stay.

I beg of you, Lata.

I'm so sorry, Lata.

Please forgive me.

Forgive me.

How many months?

Two months.

Who is your doctor?

You.

Relax, relax.

Are you okay? Keep it straight. Keep it straight.

Just two minutes. That's it.

I examined you?

I examined you?

For a pregnancy test?

Actually...

I wanted an abortion.

Then?

What did I say?

After a month, come for a scan.

And bring the baby'sfather with you.

I'll talk to him.

I'll try to convince him to keep the baby. Hmm?

Next!

You're carrying...

My husband's baby.

And I...

Stopped you from getting an abortion.

All of this that happened.

All of this...

...was actually my own fault?

You stay here Nirosha.

Ram is yours.

Ram and I...

We'll mutually file for divorce.

Ma'am.

Ma'am.

I'm sorry, ma'am.

It's- It's okay.

Ma'am, can I get you some water?

I'm fine.

I'll get it for you, ma'am.

I don't mind some coffee, please.

Okay.

Yes, Mom.

Yes, Niru, you called?

No, it was a mistake.

Okay, okay. No problem.

I'll be back home next week...

Our life is about to change.

How?

Ma'am, your coffee.

Where are you going?

We have to take Ram to the hospital, right?

Govind will come. He'll bring an ambulance.

If you get network, call an ambulance yourself.

At least wait till Govind bhai is back.

You said it yourself.

"If I were in your place, I wouldn't stay with a man

who loves someone else and not me."

Then why should I wait?

But ma'am, you're also a doctor.

Gynaecologist.

Not an orthopaedic surgeon.

Ma'am, please.

Ma'am, please.

Please stay back.

Please.

We'll meet next month. In my clinic.

Bring the baby's father with you.

I'll advise him on marriage.

Sir told me to go to the city, late at night.

I reached here in the morning.

This Niru...

Uh, Niru madam was telling him...

That she's pregnant.

Sir, look at this.

I don't know how all of this...

I think they had a big fight last night.

I came back and saw...

...That the plates were broken, everything was a mess.

I was in the kitchen, talking to my mother.

Lata Varma was alone here.

Lata Varma talked to me on the phone as well.

Lata Varma talked to me on the phone as well.

Niru madam had her bags packed.

Seemed like she was about to leave.

She looked scared when she saw me.

Started saying Lata madam was here.

You can check the call records.

You can listen to my conversation with Lata Varma.

Calls aren't recorded in Call Records.

Calls are recorded, only when you turn on the recording app.

Did you record the call you are talking about?

No.

Sir, It's been a week since I saw Lata madam here.

Hello?

Mrs. Lata Varma?

Yes. Who's this?

I'm sub-inspector Patil, from Red hills police station.

Police station? Is everything alright?

Where are you right now, Madam?

I'm at my home. But why?

When was the last time, you talked to your husband, Ram Varma?

That was last night. He's in Nagpur.

I just woke up to 14 missed calls.

But now he isn't answering his phone.

What's the matter?

You own a bungalow in Red Hills, right?

Yes, we own a villa in Red Hills.

But why are you asking all this?

- Morning, madam. - Madam, - Should I set breakfast?

- You need to come here.

But what happened?

Just reach here as soon as possible.

Sir, I can't come there. But, what's the matter?

Sir, I can't come there. But, what's the matter?

My car hasn't been working since yesterday.

And taxis don't go there, the road is bad as well.

Madam, you'll have to come here.

Your husband, Ram Varma has been found dead here.

What? Is this a joke?

Is this a prank? Hello?

You can talk to the caretaker here.

He has been trying to call you.

Yes, yes. I was sleeping, but... Hello?

Investigation is under way. Just come here.

You'll find Lata Varma's finger prints.

This is her house, that's obvious.

I talked to his wife.

I talked to his wife.

Her car hasn't been working since yesterday.

Caretaker is saying that this girl did it.

Arrest her.

Sir, sir no.

- Don't resist. - No, please!

Ma'am, no!

Ma'am!

Please!

Please!

Please!

Yes, mom.

I'll come back next week...

Our life is about to change.

Ma'am, your coffee.

You said it yourself

"If I were in your place, I wouldn't stay with such a man."

Please... can I just call my mother once?

Please... can I just call my mother once?

Why? Was she the one who taught you all this?
