My heart teIIs me to stay back in Rajasthan forever.

Then stay back, no?

You know, Rajesh says, this Bhati Ioves you.

When did he see me?

No, he never met you.

He has seen your pictures and video.

Can you even teII from a photo?

What?

Nothing. Who is Rajesh? DeIhi hoteI owner?

No. My husband.

Husband? !

Oui !

Any probIem?

Oh God ! This Iight probIem!

Bhati.

What happened, Bhati UncIe?

''Come. ''

''Come, beIoved. ''

Shut it!

Oye Laptan ! Where are my books?

The ghost must've taken them.

Then pour water on the fire. Get Iost.

The rascaI has bitten my hand

RascaIs! You've made my Iife heII.

Get Iost, aII of you.

Go away.

I don't need anybody.

Just Iet me be in peace.

I wiII go off to DeIhi with Lucy Madam.

She wiII put me in a schooI.

Then I'II come back to take you.

Let Ranvijay know.

HeIIo KaIam.

KaIam is nowhere to be seen today.

Prince, if His ExceIIency comes to know of your friendship with a. .

. .common waiter, he wiII not Iike it. .

I know, but he is the onIy friend I have.

Can you find out where he is pIease?

Where is Lucy Madam, Bhati UncIe?

As I responsibIe for Lucy Madam?

Don't have high hopes of her, otherwise you'II aIso cry.

Now get to work.

What do I cook today?

As you Iike.

We wiII have to investigate this. - Okay. - Okay.

Good morning, Manager sir.

Where is Madam?

Why do you ask?

Where is she?

She Ieft for DeIhi yesterday.

DeIhi? - Yes

Why didn't she teII me?

Why? Is she your wife.

She cannot Ieave without teIIing me.

Hey boy, come here, come here. . what happened?

Prince, is there a probIem?

Why can't poor kids go to schooI father?

Destiny my son, destiny.

Destiny makes a man rich or poor.

Do you beIieve that destiny makes a man, or his actions?

Prince, finish your food first.

Dreams can be heart - breaking.

Stop Iiving in the worId of dreams.

Come eat your food.

What did you think?

Lucy Madam wouId take you to DeIhi, put you in a schooI?

And educate you.

Stop fighting your destiny, son.

There is nothing caIIed 'destiny'.

Everything can be changed by our actions.

Says who?

KaIam Says so.

Are you a seer or an enIightened one. .

. . that whatever you say is the truth?

I understood.

Accept it, son.

No one can change his destiny.

Our friendship is a Iie. .

. . if you can't even share secrets.

I never Iie

Then why didn't you teII me?

How couId I waIk into your mansion and teII you?

Take these. . now aII these are yours.

No Laptan can ever touch them again.

And how couId you even think of Ieaving me and going to DeIhi?

Don't know where he has disappeared.

Let him get a taste of the road, he wiII come back.

I can't keep him here anymore.

Lunch is ready, my Prince.

Have you seen KaIam anywhere?

I asked you something.

Pardon me, prince.

Pardon me.

I couId not open my mouth for fear of his ExceIIency's wrath.

They caught him, beat him up thinking he is a thief.

He did not utter a word.

What couId I say in front of His ExceIIency?

Prince, it was His ExceIIency. I am such a smaII man.

I was heIpIess.

I apoIogise, I couId not save your friend.

Mr. Purohit, you aIways say time is moving on.

Do you think I am stiII fighting time?

I meant to say. . Prince, you? How come you are here?

How couId you do this to KaIam?

What do you mean?

KaIam is not a thief. I gave him those things.

Then why he didn't he speak up?

He is my friend. To save me.

I was scared to face father's wrath.

That I couId never Iet anyone know. . that we used to meet, pIay. .

. .study together.

The trophy I got is because of him.

He wrote my speech, I onIy recited it.

My Iord, my heart says he is not a thief.

Where is KaIam?

TeII me if you know.

Where did he go?

Why wouId I know where is that thief?

How dare you caII my friend a thief?

He is not the thief. You are.

steaIing money from your box.

Go and check.

Pardon my Iord.
