A screen test means nothing.
A filmmaker's eye is the camera.
As soon as you entered my office, I said to myself, "She is the one!
She is the one I have been looking for."
"Sona."
It's a perfect name for the screen.
You're tailor made... for my film's character.
You don't believe me?
Destiny has brought you from Kanpur to the Pinky Productions' office.
Everything... is predestined.
Henceforth, we should meet regularly.
Because...
it is important for an artiste and a maker to understand each other.
And for that we must spend time together.
You get it, don't you?
Kamla Devi, please wait.
Where is Roopa?
Roopa's gone, Anand.
Consider her a dream and forget about her.
Everyone dreams, Kamla Devi.
But only those dreams come true...
that we refuse to forget.
Roopa isn't my dream...
she is my reality.
Please tell her that.
Rewind it.
-How was that, Raju? -It was good.
Lunch break for half an hour!
How was my shot, Punit? Was it okay?
Please be back on the set in half an hour.
I hesitated a bit.
We'll fix it during the dubbing.
I wasn't going to play such a small role.
But Raju told me that I have two scenes with Aamir Khan.
So I agreed to do the film.
When will your film with Mr. Chowdhary begin?
By the end of the year.
I hate eating this way.
Let's go sit there.
She's been saying the same thing for years.
I wonder if she's fooling Chowdhary
or if it's the other way round.
I wish you would've turned me down the day we met.
But that wasn't the case.
You showed me delicious dreams...
and I made a fool out of myself, while you led me on...
Stop it!
What the hell are you doing?
She has broken your heart!
I have told you a hundred times, you have to feel it!
Who is an actor?
An actor is the one who lets his character consume him entirely.
And what do you mean by "delicious dreams"?
It's supposed to be "beautiful dreams."
I wish you would've turned me down the day we met.
But that wasn't the case.
You showed me beautiful dreams.
And I made a fool out of myself...
while you led me on.
But I finally came to the realization...
that your sweet words are poisonous!
And your eyes!
They are full of deceit!
But, Vikram, you underplay a lot.
Mainstream cinema calls for projection.
"I wish...
you would've turned me down the day we met."
It is easy to become a hero in Hollywood.
But not in Hindi films.
A Hindi film hero knows not only how to act...
but also sing, dance...
do comedy and excel at action.
Friends...
it takes a lot of talent to be a hero in Hindi films.
And to be a heroine?
Being a heroine also requires some talent.
So, your training starts tomorrow.
Watch out, ladies Here I come
An admirer of beauty or a foe...
My charm is unlike anyone you've known
Watch out, ladies Here I come
An admirer of beauty or a foe...
My charm is unlike anyone you've known
It's your last day at Nand Kishore School of Acting.
I have imparted all my knowledge to you.
But acting is a mystical ocean.
The deeper you dive, the deeper it gets.
-Right, Mr. Mac Mohan? -Absolutely.
But you must never forget...
that along with talent, luck is also an equally important factor.
-Right, sir? -Yes.
I am grateful to Mr. Mohan that he spared some time
to award certificates to our students.
But before that, I would request him to say a few words.
Sir, can you please recite your famous dialogue from Sholay?
"Fifty thousand rupees!"
Brilliant! Marvelous!
Sameer, did you talk to Mr. Mahesh Bhatt about me?
Currently, all his films are under production.
-There's no requirement as such. -I see.
Abhi, please get my internet connection done today.
Why are you wasting your time?
He's not gonna do anything for you.
He is an assistant with Mahesh Bhatt and Mukesh Bhatt.
They always cast newcomers in their films.
But he will focus on becoming a director with them, right?
And he has a problem with you.
What?
-Why? -There's no particular reason.
You should drop off your photos at production houses
and do theater in your spare time.
Theater helps keep the actor inside you alive.
But makes it difficult for its audience to survive.
Where have you been?
Right here.
I saw your show on TV yesterday.
Abhimanyu Gupta, the scene with your father was very good.
Meet Vikram.
He's come from Delhi to be a film star.
You are in queue.
Who is she?
After the success of his film Anjaana...
film producer Romy Rolly is busy preparing for his next film Dil Ki Aag.
The director of this film is his younger brother, Ranjit Rolly.
Ranjit couldn't make it as an actor.
Let's see how he fares as a director.
Let's go take a look at the inaugural shot of Dil Ki Aag.
Along with the director,
the heroine is also making a debut with this film.
Nikki Walia, daughter of the 70s superstar Neena Walia.
And as always, the hero of this Romy Rolly production is...
I have left everything for you, Rahul.
Tell me that you will never leave me.
The moon could part with its light.
A flower could part with its fragrance.
But you and I will never be apart, Priya.
Never.
"Ranjit, you should become a director."
Mr. Rolly has a unique style of working.
I cannot work without Zaffar.
I can't imagine my film without him.
It's not always about business.
Emotions are equally important.
Actually, I never thought I'd be an actor.
I wanted to be a vet and cure animals.
I just hope...
that the audience showers my daughter with the same love and affection,
that they have given me over the years.
I was so nervous!
Wear this ring on Tuesdays and Fridays.
-Thank you. -Thank you.
And...
always have this pearl ring on.
It will help you be calm.
Right now, he agrees with you. But later he will do as he pleases.
I told him, "Since five is your lucky number...
schedule the inaugural shot for the fifth--"
Don't be childish, Minty.
Zaffar was shooting with Mani Ratnam on the fifth.
He couldn't have made it.
It was very difficult for me to convince him for the shoot on the ninth.
Minty, he wouldn't have done it for anybody else.
Zaffar respects him a lot.
I understand the situation of the song.
But in the film the heroine just lost her sister.
How can she be dancing with me?
The death scene is extremely tragic.
The film cannot have any more tragedy.
But it's not logical.
Zaffar, it's impossible to make a mainstream film using logic.
Yet, I am justifying the song in the film.
The dead sister's friend takes the heroine to a club.
And the heroine imagines herself dancing with the hero.
And imagination knows no bounds, right?
Just take a look at the set. You'll love it!
Really?
What a jackass!
What a nutcase!
He's trying to outsmart me.
He's an actor, he should stick to his job.
I have also been an actor.
Is the lighting done?
Next thing you know, even the cameraman will find faults in the screenplay.
When did you start acting like a diva?
Don't act as if I made the whole crew wait!
-Where is the makeup room? -Back there.
Tell them to give you the dead sister's friend's costume.
The dead sister's friend has a name, right?
-Yes. Alka. -So refer to the character by its name.
-Alka's costume? -Just a second.
Here.
Do you have this in another color?
You need something to ward off the evil eye.
You look gorgeous.
Ratna, get me some kohl.
She looks beautiful!
Nikki, seek his blessings.
No, it's okay.
Are you crying?
I can't believe it!
I got a little emotional.
It's very overwhelming.
Romy, I wanted to talk to you about--
Your trailer is on its way.
But I wanted to discuss her costumes.
Why can't we get them from Gucci or Versace?
I mean, it's Nikki's first film.
Of course.
True.
You...
You've designed so many costumes already!
Why is she cribbing about them?
Her preferences are out of your budget.
Heroines these days wear such skimpy clothes.
How much fabric do you need, man?
It's all a bloody racket! I know it!
Laxmi, what the hell is this?
It's a dance not a parade.
Girls, add some grace.
Let's take it from the top.
Hold on.
This song is going to be the highlight of the film.
The shot will begin on an empty stage.
Then we'll pan the camera.
And in the frame... I'll have heroine and her dead sister's friend.
I'll go for the close-up shot of the heroine.
That's when the music will begin.
What do you think?
The drums beat on
There are festivities all over
There comes the magician
To put on a show
These are colorful times These are sparkling times
It is raining a million stars
These carefree bodies These agile bodies
One is bound to lose his heart
I lost my being I lost my soul
I lost my life I lost my world
I lost my mind I lost my fight
I lost it all I'm out of sight
I'm going crazy
Hear the rhythm Hear the beat
Listen up! Get off your seat
I'm going crazy
Some eat fire
Some walk the tightrope
Some juggle balls
Some can lift them all
Look out! Somebody is spinning like a wheel
Somebody is throwing himself Off the ceiling
Check out these daredevils
Feet up, head down, Yet so stable!
I lost my being I lost my soul
I lost my life I lost my world
I lost my mind I lost my fight
I lost it all I'm out of sight
I'm going crazy
Hear the rhythm Hear the beat
Listen up! Get off your seat
I'm going crazy
The evening has brought along color And with it, a new rapture
My lips can only whisper your name
My eyes are intoxicated by yours
I would die for you, give my life for you, That's all there is left to do
You are so lovely You are all mine
You are my soulmate You are my life
When your eyes flutter My heart follows
I can only sing your praises
I have lost my heart, There's nothing else I have
It's all done, nothing more to do
How do I say What I have been through?
I lost my being I lost my soul
I lost my life I lost my world
I lost my mind I lost my fight
I lost it all I'm out of sight
I'm going crazy
Hear the rhythm Hear the beat
Listen up! Get off your seat
I'm going crazy
Hurry up!
-Zaffar is amazing! -He is the best!
Did you notice something?
Even though Chitra is the choreographer,
he asked me to show him the steps.
-Tell me, did you? -Yes, I did.
You know, most of the actors ask me to teach them the steps.
This year, I have to make it as a dance director.
I've had enough of being an assistant.
-You think you'll get your big break? -Why not?
I will definitely think of something to make it happen.
And you'd still be waiting for Chowdhary's film to begin.
Hey!
Hi, Aunt Mohini.
Can you please lend me five hundred rupees?
I'll return the money once I get my allowance.
I'm sure you will return it, son.
But do you realize what you are doing?
Your father owns such a huge store in Delhi.
You should help him instead of wasting your time in this city.
I read about it in the papers.
Nepotism is quite prevalent in the film industry.
Nobody casts outsiders.
Listen, I don't mind that you're staying here.
I just need to know until when.
-Is Mr. Ramesh Taurani in his office? -Who are you?
He's in a meeting.
I just need a couple of minutes.
As I said, he's in a meeting.
Can I wait?
Okay.
What did she say?
She said that he is in a meeting...
and the meeting is in progress.
Trust me, just give her your photographs.
He won't meet you.
So, what are you waiting for?
I have an appointment for the second lead's role.
This is Raju, my manager.
I'm the supporting actress in Pinky Productions' next film.
It's Satish Chowdhary's. He is a well-known producer.
He's currently making Love Birds.
-The Akshay Khanna-Kareena Kapoor starrer. -Yeah.
My film will begin after that.
They haven't come up with a title yet.
Romy, we'll be done with the shooting in the next ten days.
It's a simple love story, but it has grandeur.
Its cinematography is going to amaze you.
Each frame will make you say, "Satish, this is money well spent."
We have invested all our money in this film.
His blood pressure has shot up as well.
Some more vodka, please.
My next project...
is fantastic.
I've signed a new director.
I shouldn't brag about it, but the script is very promising.
The first half is as gripping as the second.
The script is secondary. What about the cast?
And we'll need to cast a new girl as well.
Will John and Bipasha agree to do it?
I'm not exactly a babe in the woods.
The director is a very good friend of John.
No wonder you are giving him a break.
It's dashing, Minty!
Minty.
Please ask Romy to introduce Satish to some corporate financiers.
Satish feels a bit hesitant to do so.
Don't worry.
I will tell Romy to introduce Satish to the right people.
Mr. Chowdhary...
if a reputed producer like Mr. Romy Rolly is recommending you...
I am sure he must have mentioned
that John and Bipasha are being cast and the dates--
But our basic criteria is the property.
In Hollywood, the script is referred to as "property."
In our industry, "property" means nothing but property.
And we want to adapt their culture.
There needs to be a change in your mindset.
Change is indeed taking place, brother.
We haven't cast John and Bipasha just because they are stars.
They are stars, indeed.
But we've cast them because our script demands it.
And the other role demands a new girl.
And we will cast a new girl.
I met Ramesh the other day.
He said, "Raju, I loved Sona's screen test."
She can play the hero's sister--
-Hero's sister? -I told him I will get back to him.
I don't want to do such roles. Raju, I'll get typecast.
That's nonsense.
In Josh, Aishwarya played Shah Rukh's sister.
-Did she get typecast? -That's different.
You know, they've almost finished shooting Love Birds.
It's not wise for me to do such small roles right now.
Tell him no.
You're waiting here as well?
Is nobody ever interested in meeting you?
Abhi told me he would be home, but...
He'll be here soon.
Until then, you can make me some tea, you know.
Where were you?
My fridge isn't working, and I don't have the time to get it fixed.
So I keep everything in my neighbor, Mrs. Verma's fridge.
What a nice neighbor!
Indeed!
She charges me for it.
She has a house to run.
Her husband was a stuntman. He was shooting a car chase scene.
But the car capsized and he died on the spot.
Sugar?
One spoon.
She's been calling the producer for years.
But he hasn't compensated her.
Where do you reside?
In... Bandra.
Come.
I don't know when Abhi will be home.
Do you have any plans for the day?
Why?
I was the lead in two other films like Teer Aur Talwar.
But they didn't get me anywhere.
Such films are released only in small towns.
And you're sure that Satish Chowdhary
will produce a big film with you?
Why won't he?
I mean, people break their promises all the time.
He won't. I can trust Mr. Chowdhary.
You have someone who is willing to do so much for you.
He is married.
He has kids as well.
But he has helped me a lot.
So, I don't have any complaints.
You know someone once said...
that success and failure are only choices we make.
-Can I ask you something? -Yeah...
You want to eat some Bhel Puri?
No.
Koi Aane Wala Hai with Shah Rukh and Armaan.
You've made a commitment to Mr. Rolly.
You'll have to talk to him.
I can't, because whenever I say something, he always has the same response.
"Zaffar did his first film with me."
And my last one should also be with him, right?
He still owes me money!
He never pays me my price...
and then asks me to make an appearance in all his family functions!
What nonsense!
And now I have to deal with that idiot Ranjit as well!
I don't know why he wears that bloody hat all the time!
Look, it's Zaffar Khan!
Hi, Sona. How are you?
What's going on, Devraj? Your boss is still in the makeup room?
-Is there a problem? -I think so.
Tell me.
You read the entire script and said, "Fantastic, mind blowing!"
Those were your words, darling.
I knew that I'd be playing a negative role.
No, you're the antihero.
Alright, antihero.
And I am willing to do it.
But you're not getting it, sir.
I...
I am not Zaffar Khan.
Zaffar Khan is an image.
And he keeps asking me...
"Do you have the consent of my fans to play this kind of a character?"
I'll change the script.
I'll make it a positive role.
There, I spoke to him.
Have you read it? It's the latest issue of Glitter.
And I'll be writing a monthly column.
Really?
How is the title?
You want some gossip for your column? But don't quote me.
Zaffar doesn't want to work in Dil Ki Aag...
because of the script and the director.
How do you know?
Somebody told me.
-I can't disclose the name. -Come on, Sona.
Come on, Tanveer.
You want to make the character positive?
I don't have a problem, but... How do we do it, Mr. Rolly?
If I was supposed to tell you that
why did I hire you as a writer?
Let me think about it, but...
my script is based on the film Ranjit asked me to watch.
Really?
This film was a blockbuster in the US!
Ranjit, this is India. The audience here is different.
And I'm not saying this because Zaffar asked me to.
I always thought his character should have been positive.
Sir, how about this?
In the end, the cops don't catch him.
So?
Since he is in love, his conscience rebukes him.
We can also add a scene in a temple.
Or a monologue in front of the mirror.
Sir, I know it's a cliché but if done with conviction, it will work.
We'll cut to an empty frame.
In the empty frame, there will be a close-up of a noose.
In a flash, the hero appears in it.
He looks at the noose.
The noose is swinging, it's symbolic.
The hero contemplates if he should commit suicide.
Then he takes the noose, kisses it and puts it around his neck.
You moron!
I'm not making this film for the festivals.
I was just thinking out loud.
Romy...
Why are you buying that? Do you only eat packaged food?
I don't get the time to cook.
You should, you know.
Black lentils, butter chicken, roti...
Reminds me of home.
Then go back.
I make delicious chicken curry.
Should I buy some?
But where will you keep it?
Your fridge is no longer amongst us.
-Do you want a new fridge? -What do you mean?
I mean...
you won't even need to buy it.
GIVE US A CAPTION WIN A FRIDGE
You can win this contest.
Here.
Write a caption and if you win, the fridge will be yours.
You think if I take part in this contest,
I'll stand a chance of winning a fridge?
I think that if you won't do so,
you'll stand no chance of winning a fridge.
Sorry, I am not good at English.
-What do you think? -You're very smart.
I heard you and Sona went shopping!
-It's not what you think. -It could be.
Persistence pays!
Ignore him and just concentrate on the job at hand.
-When did you become so boring? -Hi, Shagun. Tell me.
-Three months after college. -I'll be at the location at six.
But I...
Listen, I'll call you back.
What's wrong?
We need a grandfather clock tomorrow, for the first shot.
The lead actor is going to New Zealand for a month
and the release date is near.
Where will you find a grandfather clock?
How about Chor Bazaar?
The shops don't open in the wee hours of the morning.
-Anyone at all? -Your grandfather.
Abhi, shut up. I'm serious.
Aunt Mohini, I am so grateful that you let me stay in your house.
I don't have anything to give you, but I wish to express my gratitude.
That's why I am getting your grandfather clock polished.
I know it's a souvenir from Uncle Arun and it is very dear to you.
But when this clock will come back polished...
I'll see the joy in your eyes, and feel blessed.
Your loving nephew, Vikram.
This is a miracle!
Rajan, take the clock inside.
-Let me know the charges-- -There are no charges.
Just get it polished.
The boys on the set will take care of it.
Come, let me introduce you to Emraan Hashmi.
We're filming another one of his trademark kissing scenes.
Hey, bring me two cups of tea. And add some ginger.
Is Mr. Mahesh Bhatt around?
No, he's out of town for a week.
By the way, what are you doing tonight?
Nothing.
Do you want to attend the premiere party of Pyar Hua Tumse?
I have two invites.
Looking good.
Let's go.
Why did he make such a bad film?
And he had the audacity to say, "Even though the reviews are bad
the film is a hit among the audience."
I said, "Sir, how is that possible when there is no audience?"
Some scotch?
Thanks for bringing me here.
To say another "hello"?
She is with her mother Neena. She'll kill you.
Good evening.
Good evening, ma'am.
Please say something...
so that I can tell my friends that Neena Walia spoke to me.
May I tell you something strange?
You see, my parents were in the same college.
And they became friends because they were your ardent fans.
I guess, they saw you at a party, a few years ago.
Well, I'll call him and tell him that...
Meet my daughter Nikki.
You know, when the kids of this generation say such things...
one really feels alive.
Shubna, you are the editor of Glitter.
You know Zaffar and I are very close.
-I consider him my son. -I know.
But a very reliable source of mine told me that...
He's working with Karan Johar now.
-Is this a joke? -Sir, why would I lie to you?
-I'm waiting for him in the office. -Secretaries always lie!
Shut up, you cheat! Bloody manipulator!
Sir, I swear I don't know where he is.
It's your job to know, isn't it?
Tell me, where is he?
Ask Zaffar's mother about him
and call me back in two minutes, you bloody idiot!
Are you wearing the pearl ring?
Why are you so upset?
Come on, let's eat while the parathas are hot.
I have lost faith in this industry, Minty.
You know how people in this industry are.
-Don't take these things to heart. -I can't help it.
He is not responding to my calls or my messages.
What kind of behavior is this?
Kids these days have no manners!
There was a time when filmmaking was a joy.
But it's not the same anymore.
Actors young enough to be our children make me chase them for dates.
You think it's appropriate?
After all these years... nobody respects me.
Don't say that, Romy.
Everyone respects you a lot.
Trust me, people really look up to you.
Everyone's gone.
And now, it's just these bare walls...
and the deafening silence dwelling within
which asks me, "Devdutt...
at this juncture of conscience and convenience,
which path will you choose?"
My heart asks me...
"What's your dilemma?
You'll have to make a choice at every step of your life.
You are only human and this your fate.
The twin paths of conscience...
and convenience."
Abhi is very talented.
And hard working as well.
You know, he's been rehearsing the same play for two months...
every day.
I'm sure he'll make it big.
Why did you say that?
He lacks the fire in his belly.
And what about you?
Hold still.
I don't want it.
Why not? Don't you want to make a wish?
Riding on the wings of the wind,
the eyelash shall descend, with your wish...
slowly towards the earth,
into the waiting arms of an...
open sewer.
My sister is in Chicago and...
There was a family emergency.
But now everything's okay, right?
Yes, and... no.
I'll do it.
Mr. Rolly, I've been thinking...
Do you need sugar in your tea?
No... I'm on a diet.
Okay.
I have been thinking...
I haven't taken a break in three years.
That's true. You've been working a lot.
His blessings are with you.
But I can't continue like this.
I mean, I'm working like a machine.
My performance is becoming mechanical.
Darling, even at your worst...
you're way better than the others.
I need a favor.
Tell me, son.
Please let me go.
You can't be serious.
You don't want to work with me anymore?
I can't even imagine doing so.
We aren't bound by one film, Mr. Rolly.
We'll do the next one together.
Perhaps, many more.
I'm genuinely sorry about your losses.
Don't worry about it.
He should have at least considered the fact that...
my daughter's future is dependent on this film.
What do I say, Neena?
He said, "The heroine has the better role.
What am I doing in the film?"
I said, "Darling, you might be a huge star
but I fancy this script.
There will be no changes in it."
So he said, "It won't work for me." And I said...
So whom will you cast now?
Don't worry, Neena.
Zaffar was going to do this role, right?
Uncle Romy, I recently played three dramatic roles.
I can't even use my schedule as an excuse.
Come on, Uncle Romy, you are embarrassing me.
Uncle Romy, I think that if I do this film,
things will get controversial.
I want to do something different.
I am really sorry.
I can start working with you in 2015.
You were the one who said, "Content is king, script is property.
Industry's culture should change."
And now you are asking me, "Who is the hero?"
Mr. Rolly, we are answerable to our shareholders.
Sir, we were thinking of going ahead with Mr. Chowdhary's project.
It was you who recommend him.
That doesn't mean you don't invest in my project!
This is unbelievable!
Romy, this is Mr. Dinyar Sadri, my old...
He's a well-wisher.
I won't tell you how long we've known each other.
Otherwise, you might guess my age.
How wonderful!
He felt very bad when I told him what happened.
"Neena, let me finance the film."
That's wonderful!
Neena is the only connection I have in the film industry.
Except that my grandfather and Sohrab Modi lived in the same building.
Oh, how wonderful!
I'll just sign the agreement.
After that, I want nothing to do with the film.
Wonderful!
Mr. Rolly, who's going to be the hero of the film?
Neena, I gave it a lot of thought and I realized...
that Zaffar's exit is a blessing in disguise.
This role demands a new face.
Sir, I won't cast a famous actor, even if he agrees to work for free.
A star's son would have been good.
Mr. Deol has only two sons, right? Bobby and Sunny?
You should've told him 20 years ago that you'd need another son.
I am sure he wouldn't have refused.
Guys, stop pulling her leg.
Your sister is a character. We just can't help ourselves.
Why don't you guys suggest someone?
I just read the news.
About what?
The announcement about John and Bipasha.
Yes, the news is out.
It's time you introduce me to the director.
I'm shooting at Filmistan Studio tomorrow.
Be there by 2:30 p.m.
My film's shoot starts tomorrow.
That's great!
Amazing pictures. Who is the photographer?
This guy called Abheet.
What's so funny?
Don't you know it?
What is this?
What do you mean?
I've been shot in various angles, with different expressions.
I am sure one of them would work.
Having a cheesy portfolio and attending premiere parties
is not going to get you a break.
Abhi, that was unnecessary.
I know you're upset with the fact that your friend took me to the party.
But that doesn't mean you bad-mouth my pictures.
I'm not doing anything of the sort.
I'm just giving you some advice.
Posing for pictures won't make you an actor.
It's not the right way.
Really?
And you know the right way, don't you?
Maybe that's why you're still stuck here.
Guys, stop it!
Who says I'm stuck?
I'm working in two soap operas
and I am a respected theater artiste.
By the way, neither do I ask my parents for money,
nor do I borrow it from my friends.
I'll return your money for sure.
And thanks for revealing your true side!
Well, there's something more you need to know.
You're not an actor and you will never be one.
You should go back to Delhi and manage your father's store.
You guys...
Where are you going? Wait!
Did you hear what he said?
Back in Delhi, he had no money!
I used to pay for him all the time!
Don't take him so seriously.
-He cannot say such things! -Let it go!
He was drunk.
So what if he was drunk? He's my friend.
He said that I'm not good enough, that I should go back to Delhi.
You don't need to go back.
I really liked your photographs. You have what it takes to be an actor.
Take me for instance.
I had to wait, but...
if I can get such a big break, I am sure you will succeed as well.
Sona, you were fast asleep and I didn't want to wake you up.
I am sorry I didn't congratulate you last night.
I wish your film turns out to be a huge hit.
The sun peeps in from my window
His rays seem to have found a way
They're laughing on their way in
I am wide awake
Hope took a turn And came back to stay
She's come back to me
I don't know what it is
But it feels brand-new
My astonished heart has lost its way
What is happening?
The world is going to change Life is going to get better
I don't know why I feel so
My heart takes a leap, Buds start to bloom
The wind gently whispers in my ear...
He's good!
Where do you find such guys?
-Can you get me one? -Shut up!
Give me the photos. I'll be right back.
Did you read Mid-day?
John's interview has been featured in it.
He confirmed he's going to work in your film.
Yes, I read it.
And did you speak to the director?
Yes, I spoke to him but there is a problem.
What?
He wants a new girl for the second role.
But I am new.
No, you're not.
You have acted in Teer Aur Talwar, two regional films,
and you've done countless insignificant roles.
But you asked me to do them.
Every time I asked you, you said, "Go ahead, it's not a problem."
Listen, I don't want to get into this pointless discussion!
You think it is a pointless discussion?
You promised me a big break and a role in this film.
And after wasting three years of my life,
you're saying it's a "pointless discussion"?
Don't blame me! It's not like you were the next big thing!
The industry has changed.
These days supermodels and beauty pageant winners
are cast as heroines.
-But I have talent, I can act! -Nobody wants that!
I don't want to hurt your feelings but let's be honest,
no established actor would want to work with you.
So, you won't make this film with me?
It's impossible.
Listen, Sona...
We should keep in touch. I will do whatever I can for you.
Please don't create a scene, I'm really stressed.
Satish, I've been looking all over for you.
What happened?
I mean, sorry...
What happened, Satish?
Nothing...
Don't you recognize her? She has worked in our films...
Teer Aur Talwar, Roma Darling. She's Sona Mishra.
I see.
But what happened?
It's personal.
I came here to give him these pictures.
Are they yours?
No, they are my cousin's.
If there is a role for him, please let him know.
Yes, of course. We will.
Why was she crying?
The same old story... "I need money."
She ruined my mood.
He's not bad. Here, take a look.
Your judgment is always right.
Oh, God! What are you doing?
Put the rejects over here and the good ones over there.
But there aren't any good ones.
Such bad faces!
There was a time when there were heroes like Dharmendra, Dev Anand...
and look at this bunch!
Pinky, come in.
What brings you here?
I had some pictures, so I thought maybe you could use them.
She has become a casting director!
Don't be silly.
At times like these, only the family cares.
Anyway, you're here at the right time!
I've ordered Chinese for lunch.
Babloo, set the table.
Then what about the food I cooked for you?
Don't worry, he'll eat that as well.
Yes? Who are you?
One moment.
Vikram, you have a call from Romy Rolly Productions.
Just a moment, Aunt Mohini. Tell them to hold the line.
There's water all over the floor.
No, it's fine. I'll be there.
May I know what the role is?
The other night... I was too drunk.
So, my place tonight?
A few more drinks?
I received a call from Romy Rolly Productions...
What's wrong?
That Satish Chowdhary film...
Has it been shelved?
No.
But I'm not in it.
Maybe I'm not destined for it.
"Not destined"?
Look at me.
What is destiny?
It's an excuse for those who don't have the courage to make it on their own.
I have always been courageous!
But what did I get in return?
After wasting three years of my life, he said I'm not good enough.
He's a bastard!
You cannot let that bastard decide if you're good enough!
Tell me something.
Did you come to Mumbai to star in Chowdhary's film,
or to be an actor?
Until now, you put your faith in someone else.
But it's time to have some faith in yourself.
Opportunities don't come to you, they have to be created.
Success doesn't come knocking...
we have to go after it.
Keep moving towards your goal. Do not waver.
Slowly the whole world will move with you.
The boy runs from one flower to another
But he will never make the butterfly His toy
Who will tell the little fool?
That whatever you look for In this world...
You can always find it within you
Eyes filled with dreams See no sleep, no peace...
Fill it out and wait for your turn.
Hello, my name is...
I'm from Jammu.
-Delhi. -Rishikesh.
-Lucknow. -Punjab.
-Banaras. -Nagpur.
-Shimla. -I'm from Calcutta.
In the last two years, I have done only one commercial.
When one chooses to go down this path
He'll reach the end Only to find another path
A sun-scorched road That will burn his feet
He may reach a bend But no refuge from the heat
Will you please help me with the form?
It's in English.
What's your name?
Eyes filled with dreams
See no sleep, no peace
Eyes filled with dreams
See no sleep, no peace
-The question is not... -Whether I live or die...
But the question is...
The question is...
Whether the creator of this world...
Exists or not.
And if not, then my life...
And my death...
It's all futile!
And if He does exist, then...
Thank you, that was good.
No, we're done.
Why doesn't He answer the prayers of His people?
What looks like an ocean from afar
Do you know if it's sand or truly the sea?
Just as the day is different From the night
Happiness is different from peace
But the ones who see this, understand...
Can I get a couple of minutes?
That peace is permanent And happiness, temporary
Eyes filled with dreams
See no sleep, no peace
Eyes filled with dreams
See no sleep, no peace
See no sleep, no peace...
No sleep, no peace...
Which role were you auditioning for?
They didn't tell me.
They just asked me for my name, age, height, and gave me some lines.
I just followed their instructions.
They must be looking for extras.
If Romy Rolly could help it
he would cast a star for a petty dialogue like "Run, there's a fire!"
What if they need some more extras?
And if He exists, then the question is...
Will He answer the prayers of His people?
He's good.
Among all these chimps, we've finally found our Tarzan.
So how many have been short-listed?
Two.
There's one more test.
Let's see it.
I am five feet nine inches tall.
I have a diploma from Nand Kishore Acting School and...
I used to do theater in Delhi.
I think theater has kept the actor inside me alive.
The question is not whether I live or die.
The question is, whether the creator of this world exists or not.
And if not, then my life and my death... It's all futile!
And if He does exist, then...
Why doesn't He answer the prayers of His people?
He seems pretty sincere.
That's okay.
But who is the better dancer?
Yes, make a note of it.
These days the hero dances more than the heroine.
I have seen him somewhere.
Yes?
We have received some more pictures.
But we have already short-listed three guys.
You're so annoying. Let me see them.
...in a 24mm lens, one can see the depth of the entire screen.
And then there will be a tight close-up.
Tomorrow you'll enact this scene with Nikki Walia.
Don't thank me just yet. Nothing's final.
-Got it? -Yes.
I have also been an actor.
Confidence is a good thing, but one shouldn't be overconfident.
Listen...
How do you know Neena Walia?
I hardly know her, sir. I have only met her once.
She thought she had seen you before...
She saw my screen test?
Her daughter is the heroine of this film.
Romy, Neena and I watched your screen test together.
We'll be taking the final decision.
Are you here for the test as well?
In that case, I shouldn't have come here.
Yesterday, I was here to pick up the sides...
and I overheard Ranjit talking about you.
Really?
What did he say?
He said...
He said Kunal has that confidence...
That aggression which is required for the role.
-Hello, ma'am. -Hello.
Hurry up.
Haven't we met before?
Yes, at the premiere party of Pyar Hua Tumse.
Oh, yes!
Ratna, we need her hair down for the test.
I told her that she should.
Hurry up.
She reminds me of you from that rain song in Do Pal.
Your sari was the same shade of pink, right?
You have a great memory!
Are you nervous?
A bit.
Don't be.
Do you want to go over the lines?
-It's so weird, Priya. -What?
Why is it that sometimes we feel so close to someone we have met only once?
This question can't be answered with mere words, Rahul.
But what can't be said with words...
can be said with flowers.
Here.
I didn't have any flowers, I thought I should give her something.
It's not that bad.
-It's so weird, Priya. -What?
Why is it that sometimes we feel so close to someone we have met only once?
He's so charming!
No, Neena! You can't be serious.
The other boy, Kunal... He looks exactly like Shammi Kapoor.
No, Vikram is better. Did you see Kunal's test?
He's overconfident.
That kind of aggression will irritate the audience.
Have you seen his body?
Shoot a few scenes with his shirt off. The audience will like it.
Minty, please help.
I prefer Vikram.
I like Vikram.
He will be the hero.
-Where have you been, Vikram? -Right here.
And what did they say about your screen test?
They said exactly what they should have.
Sona, I got the role.
I won't divulge any details.
A lot of people didn't want me to hire you.
But I said, "No...
I'm here only because of you.
God willing, you will sign a lot of films.
Zaffar was a nobody when I had signed him.
And now look at him.
Do you know how much I paid Zaffar for his first film?
How would I know, sir?
Oh, come on. Give me a ballpark figure.
50,000 rupees!
I have a connection with the number "5."
And this very number will take you from ground zero to the stars.
Vikram called. He said, "Ma'am, thank you so much.
I'm here only because of you."
I've asked him to come here for the rehearsals.
-You called him here? -Yes, it would be nice.
It would be great if we could click your picture with her.
I mean, just look at me.
Take a picture against the wall outside. It will look good.
Tell me something juicy about your boyfriend.
Why?
Romy Rolly and Shubna are very close.
And Vikram is the lead in his film.
I will have to write something, right?
Shubna won't do it for free.
You won't do it for free either. Then why should I?
If your boyfriend becomes a huge star...
You shall be... the “star wife.”
You'll be shopping in Rome, Milan and Paris.
And you'll make statements about your husband, like...
May God bless you with all the happiness and success.
I have to be there by 11:00.
Aunt Mohini...
I was thinking about asking Dad for a loan.
I need a new apartment.
Why? Is my house too small for you?
You can stay here for as long as you want.
I like having you around.
My sister would never commit suicide.
She was sh-tabbed!
One second, ma'am.
Not "sh-tabbed." It is "stabbed."
-Sh-tabbed. -Stabbed!
Sh-tabbed.
-Perhaps, murder. -Excuse me?
Ma'am, let's replace the word "stabbed" with "murder."
Now your line is...
"She was murdered."
-Shall we proceed? -Okay.
She was extremely happy. She was in love with somebody.
When a person falls in love, he's ready to die...
and he's ready to kill.
What is it?
Nikki mentioned that you're not feeling well.
It's just a cold.
Please have a seat.
So, how did the rehearsals go?
It's much better now.
Back then, we used to get our dialogues right before the scene.
And yet, you have given such amazing performances.
Have you signed your contract?
I have been called to the office tomorrow.
They said 50,000 rupees.
Really?
Mr. Rolly said something about five being his lucky number.
If Romy had his way, his lucky number would be zero.
I'll speak to him.
No, ma'am.
-He might get offended. -No way!
I have recommended you.
So now, they are paying me five lakhs.
And it's all because of Neena.
I am sure you worked your charm on her.
You know, my grandmother used to say...
"To make a dessert, one needs to add sugar."
You're such a rogue.
And what's Nikki like?
Nothing special.
She loves her "doggy" Gapoochie very, very much!
You'll be gone for a month.
I'll get bored.
Why?
You could sing some sad songs.
Never say...
Goodbye...
Earlier, all Hindi films were shot in India.
Well, this location is as good as Switzerland.
If you had a star in your film, this film would've been shot abroad.
You have a point.
Even though Vikram is a theater actor, he is very dashing.
Right, Satish?
Of course.
Nowadays, a lot of theater actors are working in Bollywood.
Please don't use the word "Bollywood."
I am tired already.
By the time you're done with the shooting, she'll drive you crazy!
Poor thing! She is...
The sequence begins with the heroine's horse getting out of control.
She is screaming, "Help! Help!" And all that...
And then the hero enters riding on a horse...
He jumps, grabs the girl, and falls down the slope.
Then I'll go into slow motion.
I have goose bumps!
You're not here on a picnic!
Did you work out today?
But that was necessary.
These young girls...
That's exactly why...
there is nobody like you.
Doctor, hurry up!
The patient on bed number seven is collapsing!
-Sir, was that okay? -Yes, thank you. You're done.
You're still here?
I can't leave until you tell me what your plan is.
You conveniently decided not to go for the outdoor shoot.
It doesn't work like that.
You've already shot a scene for that film.
You were in the song, right?
But that was with Zaffar Khan. It will have to be reshot.
Why do you care? You just have to play your part.
Raju, try and understand. Now, Vikram is the lead.
If I go and do a random role, it will be very awkward.
Oh, God!
I can't deal with this anymore.
First it was Chowdhary, now Vikram.
You're being too picky.
Wake up! Nobody is going to make another Mother India with you.
Fine, Raju! You're free to go, okay?
Fine!
I have plenty of offers!
Today's shoot got delayed because of me.
Actually, my designer forgot to bring my costume.
I am wearing blue, black and grey in all the serious scenes.
Color scheme is crucial for a good performance.
Where is Neena?
If she found out that I am here at this hour...
What about Tanya?
She's watching a movie.
Is it yours?
All the clothes in this room are mine.
Except the ones you are wearing.
Do you know what Tanya thinks about you?
No. Tell me.
I can tell her anything and...
Everyone believes that it's lucky to be a "star kid."
But it's not that easy.
So much is expected of us.
She might be a superstar...
but you're quite talented as well.
If the crew found out that I was in your room...
what do you think they would say?
People can be so narrow-minded, right?
Do you have a girlfriend?
Your eyes look so puffy.
Suresh.
Yes, ma'am?
Fix it.
You have to be more careful, Suresh.
I am going to Mumbai tomorrow.
And when will you be back?
In about two or three days.
I have a meeting with Dinyar.
Even Tanya wants to go back.
When the wind sings the tale of our love
The song is heard from the earth below To the sky above
When the wind sings the tale of our love
The song is heard from the earth below To the sky above
It's what gives the flowers Their fragrance
It's what gives the nature, its magic
It's the reason why
The valleys and the streets are alive
When the wind sings the tale of our love
The song is heard from the earth below To the sky above
There is a sweetness in this solitude
And the weather feels soothing
Every desire my heart has ever known
Longs to turn itself into a reality
Don't come so close to me
Why should this story be left incomplete?
Saying it all isn't necessary
It's why I yearn, even though I see you
It's why I long for another day To be with you
It's why even the distance
Seems beautiful
When the wind sings the tale of our love
The song is heard from the earth below To the sky above
It's the reason why
The valleys and the streets are alive
Rewind it.
Here you go.
Laxmi, where are you?
I'm glad you called. I was about to call you.
-Why? Is everything okay? -I don't think so.
What do you mean?
Is something going on between Vikram and Nikki?
Don't be silly. I speak to him all the time.
And he makes fun of her.
Anyway, don't overthink about it.
Guess where I am.
Where are you?
-At Vikram's hotel. -What?
Don't tell him. I want it to be a surprise.
-When did you arrive? -Right now.
You're completely crazy!
Call me in the evening, let's catch up.
Okay, I will.
You look shocked.
-I thought I would surprise you. -Yes, I am surprised.
What's the matter?
It's nothing. Come.
You shouldn't have come all this way.
I would've been back in a couple of days.
But I am glad to see you.
Where are you staying?
I'll have to figure it out. I thought I'd stay with you.
It might get a little awkward.
I'm here at the producers' expense.
After all, I'm a newcomer.
Don't worry.
My friend Laxmi, is staying at the other hotel so...
I'll stay with her.
How will you go?
Let me organize a car for you.
It's okay. The hotel is nearby.
Actually, we are rehearsing the song today.
Let's meet for dinner tomorrow.
Is something going on between you and Nikki?
Not at all.
Who told you?
I'm absolutely sure.
Do you know Nikki's hairstylist Ratna?
She told me.
The other day when she went into her bedroom
she saw that her bed wasn't slept in.
You know what I mean, right?
Neena is coming back tonight.
But that's not going to stop them.
One pill and Neena is out.
Then?
-Where are you going? -I need to talk to him.
Have you lost your mind?
Listen to me. It's about your self-respect.
Are you planning on fighting with him?
-Don't make a fool out of yourself-- -Really?
I'm his girlfriend!
It's a bizarre industry!
He is playing the lead in such a huge film!
Don't you get it?
He doesn't care about anybody else.
Come, sit here.
How many suitcases did you bring?
You know, major actresses take up to 20 suitcases on outdoor shoots.
Really?
So how many suitcases to go till you become a major actress?
What's going on between them?
They are just friends, ma'am.
They share a few laughs.
Do you want me to slap you?
You think I am a fool?
Why so serious?
Our film is the talk of the town.
Tomorrow, when you go back...
the media will be chasing you.
Because media thrives on sensation.
And if they suspect...
that there is something going on between the two of you...
You're just friends and you share a few laughs, right?
We have to create a scenario
where every girl fantasizes you as her boyfriend.
And every boy desires you as his girlfriend.
And if that doesn't happen...
I mean, why should anyone get the wrong impression?
He got it.
For instance, you shouldn't be sitting this close.
I know you are mad at me, but...
I really need to talk to you.
I came by your house but you weren't there.
I have got a new apartment.
Some friends are coming over tonight.
Join us, if you can.
I hope you're free.
I was working on a script, remember?
Would you be interested in a narration?
Take your time.
I have a fantastic role for you.
Lost in thought?
I was just thinking about how life changes in this city.
You've got a new house, a new car...
I had to take a loan from Dad.
A new girlfriend and new friends as well, right?
I present to you, the stars of my film.
Smile, my girl.
Earlier your debut was opposite Zaffar Khan
but now, it's with a newcomer.
How does it feel?
It's the artiste's talent that makes him tick.
It doesn't matter whom you're cast with.
And this man over here...
I am not exaggerating.
Hey, bring me some fritters!
I believe you know my friend Sona. Sona Mishra.
So you're Tanveer!
Who is Sona?
A mutual friend.
-Fritters? -No, sir.
How's it going?
Let's see.
I'm sure it will all be good.
-Did he thank you? -What for?
This is how outsiders enter the industry.
Someone writes an unconventional role, a major star refuses the part...
and a newcomer gets a break.
Give me an example.
A lot of stars turned down these films.
Seven stars turned it down.
Finally the role went to a struggling actor, whose name is...
Correct.
Why didn't you tell me this before?
Well, you never asked.
Have a seat, Tanveer.
Nikki and her co-star are having an affair.
Anyway, Nikki has a friend called Tanya.
She lives in Bandra.
And her place...
Sona, it's Tanveer.
Sona, I need to talk to you.
I know you are in there.
Open the door, Sona.
Why are you creating a ruckus?
You're disturbing everyone!
"He treats most people as stepping-stones.
Vikram practically lived in her house. In fact...
She supported him the most when he was a struggling actor.
On getting a break he turned his attention to both Neena and Nikki Walia.
The mother has had a colorful past.
And the daughter is following her footsteps.
A member of the unit told us...
That during the outdoor shoot...
Vikram would focus on Neena during the day...
And on Nikki during the lonely nights.
Because he knew that...
Being linked to an unknown starlet...
Won't be good for his image."
How dare you publish this kind of filth!
You frustrated bitch!
Shut up and listen.
If you don't publish an apology
for me and my daughter in your next edition...
I'll barge into your bloody office
and shove your magazine up your ass!
Stupid bitch!
I told you to stay away from him!
But, Mom, how is it Vikram's fault?
You're right. He's absolutely innocent!
Shubna must have had a vision!
If you meet that boy again, trust me, I'll break all your bones!
But you told me you don't have a girlfriend.
Sona is not my girlfriend.
She's just a friend.
Actually, she was a friend!
It was my first cover story!
But it worked in your favor.
You didn't care about me!
You think it worked for me?
...and you think it worked for me?
If the story about a newcomer's affair with a celebrity gets published
it is definitely going to benefit him.
Mom was right.
Instead of listening to her bullshit, you should work on your acting skills.
That will work in your favor!
I came over so many times!
Even tried calling you, but you didn't respond!
Can't you understand that I don't want to talk to you?
Yeah, right!
But you talked to the press about me, didn't you?
-What? -Take a look at this!
-Read the damn thing! -Is this why you are here?
You think I have something to do with this?
Who else could it be?
Read the byline. It's your friend, Tanveer.
So how am I responsible?
Let me be very clear.
My first film is about to release and I don't need this shit!
I have been through a lot to be here!
This is my one shot at success.
-And you're looking for your share in it? -What?
If you are so keen on seeing yourself in the press,
do something worthwhile!
Talking about me is not going to help you, Sona.
What is this?
-What the hell is this? -Sona, listen to me--
How could you?
Listen to me...
-What are you doing? -How dare you!
There she is. Sona, look at this.
Congratulations!
You took part in a contest, didn't you?
You won.
This refrigerator is yours.
He was right.
If you want something in life...
you'll have to work for it.
You'll have to take a step towards it.
He taught me that.
But I couldn't even thank him.
Because before I could understand this...
he was gone.
He was long gone.
Even Meena Kumari would've had tears in her eyes!
I should be the one thanking you.
Everything happens for the best.
We'll use this controversy to our advantage.
People know you now.
Raju, that was way out of line.
Just watch as I work my magic.
I'll make sure you become a sensation.
-Hello, sir. -How are you?
Good!
How is the audience reacting to the film?
Please watch the film and tell me, ma'am.
I'm so nervous. God help us.
First tell me about the collections!
Congratulations, Neena!
It wouldn't have been possible without your blessings.
You don't need to ask about it!
Nikki has set the screens on fire.
Absolutely...
Yes, I will meet you.
What was she saying?
Obviously...
Nikki's film is a hit and Neena's become the superstar.
Mark my words...
the next producer won't know what hit him.
Romy, somebody in Jabalpur stabbed a man for some tickets.
And the man died!
Oh, God!
Vikram is getting a great response.
Romy, I had got you his pictures. Remember?
Do you remember that girl Sona Mishra?
She had brought us his photos saying that he was her cousin.
Their story was published recently.
But I knew that something was going on between them.
Why didn't you tell me about it?
She was at the studio. Remember?
Life can be so unpredictable!
Receiving his photos was not a mere coincidence.
Vikram's fate was on his side.
That's the power of luck!
It's Zaffar.
Talk to him!
-It's Zaffar's call? -He must be so insecure right now.
Zaffar, my boy!
They are all the same!
It's a weird industry!
What's this, Mom?
Your admirers have sent you flowers.
Vikram had called. You should call him back.
What happened?
You spoke to Vikram?
Yes. The film is a huge hit.
A lot of producers will want to cast you together.
This is unbelievable!
You told me to stay away from him.
And now that he's become a star...
I just don't get you!
And you never will.
You've had a privileged and a luxurious life.
You never had to live in a slum with your whole family sleeping in one room.
At six, your drunken father did not beat you and force you to act in films.
I was 16 when my mother made me visit various producers to...
You will never understand what I've been through.
My man!
What's wrong?
I was thinking about something.
You're a star, you can think about anything you want.
Just don't forget to think about us.
And who are you?
Now is the time to prove yourself.
Fortunately, your first film chose you.
But you will choose what you do next.
Are they your friends?
Yes, that's Abhi in the waistcoat.
We were in the same school.
And that's Sameer.
You aren't going with them?
No, I'll meet them tomorrow.
Vikram... stardom is a cocktail.
It can be dangerously intoxicating.
But there's one thing I learned early in life.
Never forget the people who were with you when you were a nobody.
Because only they will be true to you.
For instance, Abhi, the one in the waistcoat...
The one who was in school with you.
Please listen to me...
I don't want to hear anything!
My decision is final!
I don't want Sulakshana in this house!
Please hear me out.
I know you are mad at her.
But I can assure you...
that Sulakshana has never crossed her limits.
Why is he here?
I met Tanveer.
I messed things up.
Nikki and I...
The whole thing was unnecessary...
I made a mistake.
And then you showed up...
and I didn't know how to face you.
One lie after another...
What do you want now?
I can't stop thinking about you.
You were the only one who supported me.
You believed in me...
more than my family ever did.
It was only you...
with whom I could be myself.
Without having the fear of being judged.
I need an anchor, a support and that's what you are.
You don't believe me, do you?
No, Vikram. I know that you're telling the truth.
Because you truly are this selfish.
I heard everything you said.
About how I was a part of your life, and that I supported you.
About how I can still be a support, an anchor...
for you.
It's all about you, Vikram!
But what about my life?
You're here because you are feeling guilty.
But tomorrow, something more exciting will come along
and you'll be gone again!
It's not your fault.
There's nothing you can do about it.
Some people are just born this way.
Your soap opera has become very popular.
And the audience loves your performance.
Our readers would like to know more about you.
-So, where is your family? -In Kanpur.
Actually, it's just my parents.
My sisters Tara and Megha are married.
One lives in Delhi and the other in Dehradun.
How did your parents react
when they found out that you wanted to work in films?
I left home.
For about two years, people gossiped about my scandalous escape.
Then came another scandal and people forgot about me.
But my parents haven't called me ever since.
Megha calls me sometimes.
Yesterday, she told me that my parents are a little less furious now.
Because they watch my show.
I think that slowly, everything will be alright.
Perhaps they realize that I'm the only one in the family
who has made it on her own.
They wanted me to marry someone.
He qualified because we belong to the same caste.
Such things don't matter in this city.
If you know how to do your job, you'll surely find a way.
Of course, nothing comes easy.
Sometimes I think, it would've been better if I hadn't chosen this path.
Sometimes I feel lonely and sad.
But I know this is where I belong.
Every morning, I don't just go to work...
I do something that makes me happy.
How many people in this world can claim that?
I could've chosen to be sad about not being a film star.
Or, I could've chosen to be happy about being an actress...
who does decent work and earns a good living.
And I chose to be happy.
Someone once told me that...
success and failure are only choices we make.
Now I know what it truly means. ices we make.
