Aggy!

Where will I go at this hour, Aggy?

Please, I'm sorry. I'll make it okay.

Seriously?

This cannot be happening.

This is just a bad dream.

My husband couldn't possibly have kicked me out.

In the middle of the night!

Who am I kidding?

This is as real as it gets.

You know, five minutes back, I had seven luxury cars, a chopper, and a private jet.

And now, I've become the poster girl for "Desperate Housewives of South Delhi".

The number you have dialed is currently busy.

Please try later.

Forget my husband, even my brother isn't picking up my calls.

This wasn't my plan.

But then, the only plan I've ever been "allowed" to make… is a diet plan.

Let me explain.

I was born with a golden spoon.

Thank God.

All I ever wanted was a good-looking family.

This is my Grandma.

My dad… And, oh, that's my mom.

-Hi. -Gayatri.

Let's call her Bella.

-It's Spanish, Italian, Greek, and Latin… -Right.

-For beautiful. -Yeah.

-She is. -Hi, Bella.

Bella is just for my parents, the paparazzi, and the trolls.

I prefer it when people… call me "Bae".

Hey, Bae!

Hey, Bae!

Hey, Bae!

Wherever you walk by You light up the world

With your words With your eyes

You light up every path

The world awaits you

Where have you been all this while?

Hey, Bae!

The way you slay The way you are

The way you talk

Hey, Bae!

Deep in your eyes Lies your dreams

It's gonna be your day

The world awaits you

Hey, Bae!

Hey, Bae!

This is my happy family! And that's me on my second birthday.

Confession.

There's no such thing as "too much bling" in my family.

In fact, our family's group chat is called… House of Gucci.

Four generations ago when we came to Delhi from Rajasthan,

we were among the richest families here.

As each generation passed, disputes grew, and with them, the wealth… shrunk.

-Raza belongs to me. -No, he is mine.

-He's mine. -Just leave it, he's mine.

Mom did a film as the heroine.

Dad watched it, fell in love, and within months…

Mom left everything and became Dad's beautiful second wife.

After all, she had to give him his good-looking heir.

Not me.

My older brother.

Samar.

Boys will be boys.

Son, you should focus on improving your aim.

Alright!

Yes!

Samar Bhai had Dad.

-And I had my… -Good looks.

Good looks.

And good looks.

Regardless, Samar Bhai and I are the closest.

He has always been by my side.

We both loved horse riding.

As we grew up, Samar got his riding helmet.

-And I got… -Bella.

But, Mom.

Horse riding will make you bowlegged.

See!

So pretty.

Mom pulled me out of horse racing and got me into the race to get married.

Eyes on the prize, Bella.

Agastya Chowdhary.

He is Dhanraj Chowdhary's only son.

He is going to Princeton.

And that's how Project Agastya began.

A series of courses that would make me the perfect trophy wife.

I don't know if I managed to become perfect, but I tried.

Flower arrangements.

I did it even though I had a pollen allergy.

At least I knew the difference between flower and flour!

How to pair red wine and blue cheese?

Your mama so ugly, she makes blind kids cry.

Quick woke jokes for dinner parties.

They were woke enough to be half asleep.

Then came my debut.

Not in a film, but in society.

Rich kids have to debut into society.

Basically, Mom became my "mom-ager",

and started training me to become Agastya's wife.

My perfect little girl.

When did you grow up so much?

Today, you and Agastya are debuting together.

I can't believe it.

You have no idea how I've winged this, Bella.

Okay, listen.

SEBI has been hounding your father.

If this goes on, we'll have to file for bankruptcy next year.

You're the only one who can save this family, Bella.

You understand?

Good.

You do know, right?

Before me, your father was married to someone else.

Here's a tip.

In a world full of fakes, be a Birkin.

Got it?

Be original.

No.

Be irreplaceable.

Ladies…

I wanted to study business after school.

So I did the next best thing.

I followed Aggy to New York, where he was studying business.

I did some other short courses including my favorite one.

Social media journalism.

How to do an in-depth story in 140 characters or less.

Aggy, I'm tired. Stop.

Bella.

Will you marry me?

Yes.

And one day…

just like that.

I actually fell in love.

-Wait! Just do it again, okay? -What?

-Just one more time. -What?

-You don't wanna marry me? -I need to post it online

Oh, okay.

Bella, will you marry me?

Oh, my God!

Oh, my God!

It's so perfect. I love you.

If I didn't post it it didn't happen, right?

We had a fairy-tale wedding.

At Lake Como.

We had, like, 15 events.

Including a royal princess -gone-goth-themed pre-sangeet party.

So, thanks to me, my family was not becoming middle-class anytime soon.

Ka-ching!

Oh, and those aren't fireworks.

That's just the sound of drones being shot down.

Never mind.

Samar and Agastya became business partners.

And I officially became Mrs. Bella Chowdhary.

And yes, we also got… the same celebrity pandit that cracks everyone up.

And, of course, we spent our honeymoon in the Lakshwadeep.

Not in the Maldives.

We are not junket-hungry influencers, are we?

The floating breakfast was just to confuse my followers.

It's been three years since we got married.

But, marriage was like a reverse fairy tale.

The happiest part was in the beginning, but later… it just went steadily downhill.

Every morning started off the same.

With loneliness.

Which I tried to overcome with some morning affirmations.

I am Bae.

I'm here to slay.

Eat, love, and pray.

Seize the day.

Good morning, Albert.

Later, some gratitude for the great staff we have.

Good morning, Sunny.

Good morning, Rita.

Good morning, Maya.

Guten Morgen, Trixie.

Guten Morgen, Bae.

Buongiorno, Bella.

Ciao, Marco.

And then it was time for breakfast.

Ma'am.

Your charcoal water, oat milk latte, acai bowl, and…

Which was always served with a side of…

baby pressure.

Did Mom send this?

So that I can get pregnant?

Thank you.

Breaking news for today.

The shopping season continues for Dhanraj Chowdhary

as he buys Toykea.

The decision to buy Toykea was not just a business deal.

It was for our dear Bella.

And I can't wait to be an uncle next year.

All the best, Bella.

My dear Bella,

this has been such a wonderful journey

and I can't wait to create more memories with you,

and more things in our life.

I have already added a little seat in our jet.

It could be two or three, that's up to you.

Every evening would end with a daily dose of Bae, and Bae's solitude.

But, Aggy, today is my birthday.

I know, Bae.

I really wish I could celebrate with you, but Tesla stocks are sinking.

And… he needs me.

I can't say no to Elon Musk, right?

But you can say no to me?

It's not that-- What are you doing, Dinesh?

-Strangling me? -Sorry, sir.

Just because you have an MBA doesn't mean I can't fire you.

-You want your pension fund, right? -Yes, sir.

So, be gentle.

It's work, Bae.

I really want to stay here with you, but what can I do?

Can I come with you?

No one is bringing their wives, you'll get bored.

How long will this go on, Aggy?

I'm so tired of this bread-crumbing.

We haven't even--

We haven't even…

we haven't even done burpees in over a year.

Burpees are not everything.

Yeah, but what if they are to me?

Sir, the chopper is ready.

I'll be there.

Here.

Go, buy the yacht. Birthday gift.

I don't want the yacht!

So what do you want?

Cricket team! I'll call Preity, she owes me one.

-I think Shah Rukh also-- -Money can't buy everything, Agastya.

Then go and do some charity work with Mom.

I can't go with Mom to distribute lemon meringue pies

in the name of charity, once again.

Why don't you get it?

I feel so lonely.

Happy birthday.

Come on, Dinesh.

To space.

Happy birthday to you!

Happy birthday to you!

Happy birthday, Bae ma'am!

-Happy birthday to you… -Good night, Kiki.

Good night, Patootie.

Good night, Lovebug.

You're all I really have.

And that's when I met… him!

Prince.

Hotshot celeb trainer.

Forty-eight.

Forty-nine.

Enough, I'm tired.

One more.

Let's do 50.

Promise, only 50.

-Promise? -Promise.

Fifty.

Good job.

That felt so good.

This calls for a flushed-face fitness goals selfie.

What the hell!

It's hung!

When you run multiple social media apps at the same time…

this is what happens.

Damn!

What now?

I know a trick.

Press the power button.

Slide this.

Now hold the volume button for exactly 3.5 seconds.

You're a magician.

Just a techie.

I look dumb, but I'm not.

I also look like a bimbo, but I'm not.

In this society, good-looking people are always…

-underestimated. -…underestimated.

Right?

You should change your last name to Charming.

#PrinceCharming.

What's this tattoo?

It's an owl.

My spirit animal.

Actually, spirit bird.

My spirit animal.

I wanted my tattoo to be poetic, so I got a roaring lion.

When you smile, you look even more beautiful.

Do you know how hot you are?

Really?

My husband doesn't think so.

Your husband doesn't realize how lucky he is.

Working with you is very distracting.

You should hire a female trainer.

-I have a friend from Australia-- -No, but I like you.

May I?

May I?

May I?

-Cheers! -Cheers!

Then came that fateful night.

The night that changed it all.

Oh, my God!

Hi.

How are you doing?

Beautiful!

Looks amazing!

Cheers!

My beautiful wife Bella.

Bella, this is Kim Ji Woo.

-The CEO of YoboSky. -Okay.

Chowdhary Multitech is signing a huge investment deal with him soon.

-Nice. -You definitely wooed us, Mr. Woo.

-Namaste. -Annyeonghaseyo.

We need a partner who will think just like us.

Traditional yet modern.

A company with good old-fashioned family values.

-One must never forget their roots. -I agree.

Roots must be touched up every 20 days.

You should be doing stand-up, madam.

Marvelous Mrs. Chowdhary.

That's a good one, that's a good one, but jokes apart.

We too as a family view our culture as a source of wisdom and spirituality.

And we believe especially in respecting women.

You gave us K-pop.

We raise you… Sheena Lakhani.

Ladies and gentlemen, straight from Bollywood, please welcome Sheena Lakhani

with her latest super hit song "My Deadly Kiss".

You know, we specially flew her in last night.

A lot of tantrums, but we handled it.

Enjoy.

Wherever I go They raise a storm around me

My kiss is as deadly as my booty

My kiss is as deadly as my booty

My kiss is as deadly as my booty

Let me show you around the property.

-Yeah? -Yes.

This can go on.

They all sway and make way For my deadly kiss

I burn the dance floor with my booty!

Before we diversified into real estate,

power, and technology… hospitality was our mainstay.

And where are we headed, gentlemen?

Why are you getting into this?

In three years, you haven't learned a thing from Mom.

I was telling her what a great hostess she has been all evening.

Everyone has been raving about the hors d'oeuvres.

This way.

This is our palace suite.

The doors are bulletproof.

The walls are soundproof.

And the staff…

is idiot-proof.

Nice.

We insist that you shift to our hotel tomorrow.

Just to understand us better.

You know, Mr. Kim, what you said was absolutely correct.

After all, money can never compensate for morality.

Oh, my God!

It's been a while since I did any burpees.

I made a monumental blunder,

and I'll feel the after-effects of this all my life.

And that's how I got kicked out.

I had to come back home.

Watchman!

Witch!

Ashok, it's me.

Bae Baby.

Are you okay?

Nothing's okay.

"Top business tycoon's bored housewife caught in the act, picking up dumbbells."

Thank God it's a blind article in the Delhi Mail.

But Pink Moon issued the article with a photo.

Distract them.

Pay them to run the hashtag, #SamarRajwanshtomarryJanhviKapoor.

But Samar and Janhvi have met only once, ma'am.

Once at the London airport.

But we have a photo of them together at the airport.

Make it seem like they went on a holiday together.

Come on, CP.

Fine.

We have your personal chats.

Listen to this, viewers.

"Hey, babes."

How many babes do you have?

Second, "I'm bouncing." Who are you bouncing on?

Third, "He is giving rizz." Who is rizz?

It's clear from your personal chats

-that you're cheating on your husband… -What the fuck!

Ms. Zenia Contractor.

This is a violation of my privacy!

Please, don't make me laugh, madam.

Privacy as a concept is so last century, viewers.

-Can we cut it? -We do not cut, we zoom in on the truth.

Close up.

Let India…

see the infidelity that drips from her--

There, shut up.

Thank your stars that the Chowdharys silenced the media.

If it's not on TRP, then it's nowhere!

Or else you'd be in her place, Bella.

What's this man's problem?

Was he not loved as a child?

Focus on your own issues.

You've got quite a few.

Mom.

Okay, I know I messed up.

But I will resolve this problem.

Where is Samar Bhai?

Why isn't he answering my calls?

Samar Bhai and I will go and talk to--

Samar flew to Seoul this morning to try and pacify Kim.

He is pulling out of the business deal because of you.

Because signing a deal with a scandalous family is not good for his reputation.

Samar's future, our future… you destroyed everything, Bella.

And you know the worst part?

People are going to judge me for raising a daughter like you.

Why couldn't you be perfect, Bella?

I tried so hard.

Mom, I can still get an MBA.

I can join the company.

I swear I'll make up for this, Mom.

MBA?

You mean, mascara, Botox, and abdominoplasty.

Please, Bella.

Where's Dad? I want to speak to him.

Your father had a panic attack this morning.

He spoke to your father-in-law.

You can't see him. You might trigger another one.

Please leave, Bella.

-But where will I go, Mom? -LA.

To the Malibu house.

But I hate LA.

I am more of a New York City kinda girl.

Mom, please give me another chance.

I swear, everything will be fine. I'll fix everything.

Bella.

Flight to LA, please be on it.

Trust me.

This is the best option for you.

I am your mother.

Mom, are you crying?

Of course not.

It's just the mascara in my eye.

Just go, Bella.

I am not going anywhere without meeting Samar Bhai.

And where will you go?

You are banned in the whole of South Delhi.

Mom… I can go to Taj Mansingh.

There's a presidential suite there for us.

Please, Mom.

Forget South Delhi, no hotel in the entire city will check you in, Bella.

Let me go.

Leave me!

The number you have dialed is currently busy.

No one's gonna help, Bella.

Who would want to mess with the Chowdharys?

Yoshna texted.

You're wrong.

Yoshna's saying, "Can't meet, I have pneumonia." What?

That means you're just like the "p" in "pneumonia".

Non-existent.

Don't create a fuss, Bella.

Go to LA.

Come back after a few months when everyone has calmed down.

I don't need to go anywhere.

Samar Bhai will fix everything.

Just drop me off at Tara's.

I am 100% sure that she'll let me live in one of her homes.

Please, Mom.

Let's go.

Yum.

The admin removed me from the Emporio Empresses group.

Seriously, Tara. You're my only true friend.

You're the admin of Khan Market Gang, right?

You too?

Chowdharys have issued strict orders that no one can stay in touch with you.

-Not even… -My own mother.

Listen. I would've given you the keys to my penthouse,

but I need the Chowdhary influence to get my daughter into an Ivy League.

You understand, right?

Your daughter is two.

It's never too early, babe.

You have no idea how competitive it gets.

At least I have my GramFam.

I just lost half a million followers.

They must be the ones paid for by the Chowdharys.

Listen, Bae.

You need to start afresh.

Go to a new city.

Someplace where you're not on page three.

Diya, say bye to Auntie Bae.

The number you have dialed is currently busy.

Please try later.

The number--

Hello?

Hello?

I've been calling you. Where are you?

Sorry, Prince.

I couldn't answer your calls.

Actually…

I have been disowned by my family.

What? Where are you? I'll come and get you.

Please don't do that.

Don't try to contact me again.

You don't know my family.

They'll boycott you

and you'll lose all your clients.

But where are you?

No ifs and buts.

The new gym you wanted to start.

How will you pay the monthly installments?

It's my fault, Prince.

I am the one who is married.

I should've thought it through.

And you?

What about you?

Samar Bhai is in Seoul right now.

As soon as he gets back,

everything will be fine.

Bye, Prince.

Since you walked away,

My heart hurts a little

I know I messed up,

But my heart hurts a little

Whatever I know

I hold on to

Hello, Tara.

-Please don't hang up. -Yeah?

Can you do me one last favor?

For old-time's sake.

Bae, this isn't a good time.

Please send me your car.

What?

I have nowhere to sleep tonight.

Okay.

My dreams, my desires

Remain unfulfilled

Why did distance creep in?

Tell me, my friend.

Your sadness is essential

But why did distance creep in?

Tell me, my friend

My dreams, my desires

Remain unfulfilled

Why did distance creep in?

Tell me, my friend.

Your sadness is essential

But why did distance creep in? Tell me, my friend

Roll down your window.

Step outside, madam.

Driver's license, madam?

It's a case of drinking and driving.

Only drinking, not driving.

Did you drink everything in the bar?

What are you saying?

Show me the papers for this car.

Actually, this isn't my car.

Come down to the station with us.

Do I get to stay there all night?

We can let you go after some time. Maybe.

Why? Why not all night?

What is wrong with the law and order of this country?

-Shameful. -Take her back to the station.

-Come on, ma'am. -Wait.

-I need to get my babies. -What?

Are there kids in the car?

My babies.

Dear immunity system,

I'm so sorry for this.

I still love you, okay?

Bae.

No! No, no. No.

No.

So? How's everything in the underworld?

Wow, you're already in orange.

Jail prep. Nice.

Oh, silly me. How can I forget?

The jails here have striped uniforms.

Thank God they're vertical.

Oh, man.

Dear, yes, I've had my dinner.

Do you know what time it is?

Okay. So, I'm feeling a bit chatty.

So, tell me.

How did you get here?

I was sick of eating my sister-in-law's food.

So I poisoned her.

A bit extreme, don't you think?

I mean, you could have learned how to cook instead.

Men, I tell you.

But she didn't die.

After that, I got into a scuffle with my brother.

-Oh. -Yes.

And he kicked me out of the house.

Wait.

You and I, we're both homeless.

That caused a lot of ruckus on the street.

Then the cops got there and brought me here.

Oh, my God! We're like twins.

Literally, the same thing happened to me.

Homelessness, followed by a disturbance on the street, followed by cops.

But you don't look homeless, Ms. Moneybags.

How did you wind up on the streets?

My husband kicked me out.

Then go to your parents' house.

I did, but…

they kicked me out too.

When my parents were alive,

no one could mess with me.

You have no idea how lucky you are.

-My left profile is better. -Sorry?

Won't you take a mugshot?

Madam, I really apologize.

Ms. Tara confirmed that the car belonged to her and it wasn't stolen.

But,

you will still have to pay a fine for drinking and driving.

You can leave after that.

-How much is it? -Ten thousand.

Just like a last-season designer wallet in an end-of-season online sale.

No problemo.

Sir, please help me out.

You can leave once you pay 5000 rupees.

Or I'll file a police report.

Sir, I'm a poor man. How will I pay 5000?

Should I file a police report?

Sir, you can take the 5000 rupees and let him go.

What about your ticket?

Keep the car with you. I'll send someone to pay and collect it tomorrow.

Toodles!

-Okay. -Go.

Go there.

Where it never gets dark.

Always among the stars.

Just by the sea.

And the fish are smelly.

Google translate?

Your future is waiting there.

Go!

Yeah, okay.

Tell me about my future too.

You don't have a future.

You'll rot here.

Come on.

Hey, Bae!

Bye.

Hey, Bae!

The world awaits you

Where have you been all this while?

Hey, Bae!

Hey, Bae!

Hey, Bae!

Prince, I told you not to call me.

Bae, I had to call you.

I traced Samar's SIM location. He's not in Seoul, he's in Mumbai.

What?

Oh, my God. An owl.

My spirit animal.

That means Mumbai.

Where it never gets dark.

Where it never gets dark.

Always among the stars.

Always among the stars.

Just by the sea.

Just by the sea, and the fish are smelly.

Are you having a nervous breakdown?

What are you saying?

Prince, I need to go to Mumbai.

To meet Samar Bhai.

Exactly! I sent you the ticket.

The flight's at 3:30 a.m. Don't miss it.

Thank you so much, Prince.

But promise me that you won't call me after this.

Bye.

Hello?

Taxi.

-Tax-- -Madam.

You won't get a taxi like this.

Hold on.

Airport.

The taxi will be here in a minute.

Thank you so much, brother.

I should be the one thanking you.

This…

Thank you for this too.

Kallumal?

You booked a taxi?

Domestic or international?

Domestic, terminal 1D.

You are Kallumal?

Just call me Bae.

My dreams and desires

Seem fulfilled…

Newer roads and journeys.

Don't scare me anymore.
