Our family honor has been dragged out onto the streets.
It's been like a circus for the past five days.
People are talking all kinds of nonsense about us.
And it's not just outsiders.
People in this house are getting offers to sell information about the family.
Who's discussing family matters outside?
If someone badmouths my mother, I'll throw them out on the street.
We didn't have enough drama out there yesterday?
We don't need any more foolishness.
Nobody will step out of this house. And no one will speak to any outsider.
Not the press… not even the police.
Back to work.
You can shut the mouths of the servants.
But we should at least tell the truth to the police.
I will do what I deem fit.
As you've done for the past 30 years.
There's nothing to worry about.
Sheila, he's fine.
Why aren't you at home? He's just a kid!
The fever's gone. I dropped him off at school.
He's fine.
You sent him to school?! He should've stayed home.
You gave him his medicine, right? Did he eat?
I'm damn stressed here right now. Will you be able to take care of him?
I handle criminals everyday.
You think I can't handle a five-year-old kid?
-But, Shobha-- -Bye.
-Sir. -What's the update, Trivedi?
The media's been hounding me.
Turns out the Chief Minister's a fan of Anamika Anand too.
My phone's ringing off the hook.
Sir, I can't ignore protocol just because of this fan craze.
We're following every lead, sir. Our investigation is thorough.
Saxena has a lot of experience handling high-profile cases like this.
I can ask him to supervise.
If you're distracted by matters at home, or kids--
Sir, Saxena has two kids. He must be under double the pressure, right?
I have it under control.
Madam.
No one is working alone here.
You are all part of the same team.
Anyone who has any new information will share it here with this team.
Without any lags.
Now tell me. What's the progress?
Ma'am, we got the assessment from the forensic psychologist.
Someone close to Anamika Anand had a hand in this.
Meaning, ma'am… Friends, family, or someone she works with.
Ma'am, we've identified everyone of importance in Anamika Anand's life.
Who she's close to, who has conflicts with her… almost everything.
We have to find out the facts behind all these faces.
There's one reality in front of the camera and another behind it.
And we need to know what's true.
Okay. Thank you.
Hi! Oh, my God! It's so good to see you.
Thank you for inviting me.
You look beautiful.
Please, I'm standing in front of royalty myself.
-Thank you so much. -Dad!
Congratulations on your store.
And this is a little something from me.
-What is it? -Hands off, it's for me.
I don't know if you remember,
when we last met, you were five or six years old.
We were shooting in London, for Geet.
And I was obsessed with those chocolates from Harrods.
Whenever we'd meet, you would ask, "Auntie, chocolate?"
Pretty soon, you started stealing them directly from my purse.
-Oh, God! I was little thief. -No, no, you were my best friend.
That's why I thought…
It's really sweet. Thank you so much.
And I still love chocolates.
I mean, I would steal them from your purse today too.
Oh, no.
Hi! I'm so sorry, please excuse me.
-You please enjoy. -Sure.
No date?
I wanted to keep my options open.
Madam, everyone knows they were having an affair.
They were 20 years ago. Maybe they started back up again.
-But for a married woman, out in public-- -So it's okay for a married man?
Affairs are fine, but there are families involved too.
Kids, husbands, wives…
Ex-wives.
-Hello, Anamika. -Hi, Sneha.
-How are you? -I'm good. How are you?
Good.
-These clothes are beautiful. -Aren't they?
You must be so proud of Tabitha.
Yes, I am.
She used to spend hours in my closet.
I didn't know we would end up here.
I told her she has to keep me fashionable in my old age. As payback.
How is your family?
Good, good. Amara is in college, and Avi is still figuring out what to do.
Wow, all grown up, huh? Thank God.
Otherwise, those early years were really tough on all of us. Right?
To be honest, Manish and I were never compatible.
But there was something between Manish and you which was missing in our marriage.
I think that's why I got so crazy with you.
Sorry.
When you are young, you don't know life has its own plans.
Manish was just diagnosed five years ago.
He's bipolar.
When we found out, all the dots got connected.
His mood swings, those bursts of energy, sudden depression.
You were good for him. You soothed him.
If things had been different,
maybe all our lives could have been better.
Right.
Hi, Amu. Still studying?
The boutique was fab.
Gorgeous clothes.
You should have come.
-Should I bring something for you? -No.
Since when has Tabitha Khanna been a fashion designer?
She's been interested since she was a kid. At least that's what her mom said.
Must be nice, when your family supports you.
-Hey, what happened? -Nothing.
Did you enjoy yourself?
With Manish Khanna?
There were other people there too.
-They sell new clothes there? -It's a boutique, Mom.
I thought it was… what do they call it? A vintage shop.
You seem to be interested in old, used clothing these days.
Don't worry, Mom.
Since when have I had permission to choose my own clothes anyway?
Come on, let's have dinner somewhere.
Actually, I was going to grab a few drinks with my friends.
You can come with us.
That's so stupid of me.
It was a huge success, you have to celebrate with your friends.
-Please, sorry. -Are you sure?
Of course. I mean, I should get home.
Thank you, Dad.
This wouldn't have been possible without you.
Don't say thanks. You deserve this and much more.
-Go and have fun. I love you. -I love you too. See you.
-Sir, would you like to have dinner? -No.
We should be out there looking for her.
This is insane.
Why are we under house arrest?
As if we are the fucking criminals.
Like Nani said, maybe it's for the best.
At least we're safe here.
Yeah.
Avi, what was all that, last night?
Why were those hijras saying such crazy things about you?
How should I know?
We're hiding so much from the police, Avi.
At least we can be honest with each other.
I tell you everything.
As if you have something to tell.
I found something! Let's meet and I'll show you.
What?
Should I come over??
Hurry I'm leaving
The entire family survives on the earnings of this woman.
They're all dependent on her.
I don't get it.
How do these senior Bollywood stars live in luxury for so many years?
Their kids in top private schools, huge bungalows, staff…
The films are just a cover-up. The real money comes from illegal sources.
Call that PK Sharma for interrogation.
Let's find out how Anamika's film is being financed.
Yes, ma'am.
Nikhil More…
Calls himself a producer.
What kind of man is he? Living large off his wife's earnings?
Can I have your attention, please?
You may not know, but today is a very important day for me.
Twenty years ago, on this day,
I married the woman of my dreams.
The whole world is crazy about her. But she's mine… only mine.
In these 20 years,
we made a beautiful house, a loving family.
So here's to us.
To the best damn team this town has ever seen.
Cheers.
The marriage is a sham.
Looks great on the outside, but underneath, it's a mess.
Mark my words, Anamika's mother was behind all this.
She wanted to end the affair with Manish Khanna
so she got her nephew, Nikhil.
A middle-class guy from Nagpur marries Anamika…
Who was already the number one star in Bollywood.
He's living in his wife's shadow, and controlled by his mother-in-law.
If that was me, I would've killed myself.
Or killed your wife.
I'm heading out. I'll meet Nikhil at the restaurant.
You look so pretty. Even more beautiful than your wedding day.
Vijju, whatever the circumstances of this marriage, you've made the best of it.
At least you've had some happiness in all these years.
I'm an actor, aren't I?
Have you heard from Avi?
I keep calling him. He isn't replying to my messages either.
He's been gone all day. I don't know where that boy spends his time these days.
Hello?
I need a favor.
Avi, this is so shady. Why are we here?
Come on, let's go back to the party.
You don't know what type of people hang out here.
-This isn't our world. -That's the point.
Avi, don't be an idiot.
Avi?
You're on your own then!
Good luck getting home!
Fuck.
Avi.
What happened? Not leaving anymore.
Fuck, come on, man. Look at them.
This looks very respectable.
Well, 50% of the movie is complete. And it's really looking great.
Well, you are Mr. Nikhil More.
There she is. Come.
-That's PK. PK Sharma. -Ma'am, big, big fan.
I know it's your anniversary dinner.
I'm an asshole for crashing it.
Just five minutes. We were wrapping up.
I insisted on meeting you. Please don't punish Nikhil for it.
No, not at all.
PK is considering financing the rest of our film.
I used to have a poster of you over my bed.
Just don't ask what happened there.
You produce films?
No, I'm in nightlife.
I have a few clubs.
Before you arrived, I was telling PK that we're making a fabulous film.
And fans are dying to see it.
Speaking of fans, I have a friend in Macau. Crazy for you.
He's a Chinese dude, doesn't even know a word of Hindi,
but he loves you.
When he visited India last time, he was telling me,
"PK, you must get me one night with her."
"One night with Anamika Anand."
Listen. How about I invest in this film,
and to celebrate, we go to Macau.
Show this guy a good time.
I don't do private functions.
You don't do award shows? You don't do weddings?
People invite me to dance.
I share my art with them.
Oh, you're getting upset… But films are a business. Not art.
Everything has a price. Everything.
Change the song. Please.
Why? This doesn't put you in the mood?
-It's my mother's song. -What?
Just change the song please!
What? What are you doing?
Look at this video. People have so much time--
I don't want to see it!
What's your problem? Just relax.
You think I don't get it?
You're not here to do anything.
Just proving to your friends that you're a player.
I don't need to prove anything to anyone.
Then what's your story?
Are you getting married?
You want to practice before the big day?
No.
Good boy.
Don't ever get married. Married guys are the biggest motherfuckers.
I think this whole idea of marriage is stupid.
But weddings are the best.
My favorite wedding? Was in my village.
My cousin Reshma's.
My mom, my sisters, all my aunties… We had the best time.
Hey, listen…
If you're not married, then… why don't you marry me?
I'll keep you happy.
I'll go to college in the day… Cook dinner for you at night…
We'll go to the movies together…
And this little problem of yours? I'll even fix that.
Wait.
What? Where was he?
What was he doing there?
What do you think?
Don't worry. I took care of it.
I made sure he got out safely.
Thanks for keeping an eye on him.
If you want me to, I could talk to him?
No.
-Good morning. -I need a coffee. Anyone for coffee?
-Nope. -No. Okay.
I heard you and Sneha had a conversation?
Anu…
When you found out about my condition,
you must've had a million questions.
And I don't want to hide anything from you.
Are you on medications?
Yes. They're not perfect, but they help.
-Are you better now? -I mean, you can say that.
Much better than I used to be.
How bad was it?
Bad.
Really bad.
For the last 20 years, I have hated you…
because you left me.
Mom forced me to get married. But you never came.
You never fought for me.
Anu, I'm truly, truly sorry.
I was wasted in some hotel room in London.
And the way I treated you,
the way I screwed up everything between us…
That's my biggest regret.
You know, being bipolar,
it's a swing.
When you're going up, doing three movies at a time,
busy shooting, doing endorsements…
Making everyone happy day and night. Winning hearts. Everything is… perfect.
But when the swing goes the other way?
Anu… there's nothing but darkness.
People think, "He's a star."
"He lives in the spotlight. He's got nothing to complain about."
But it's just darkness.
I'm here.
They're probably ready for us.
We shouldn't be meeting like this.
The police said it's safest to stay at home in these situations.
What else is the police gonna say?
They'll look for a crime in everything.
Yeah, but that's their job. Right?
Yeah, that's correct,
but it's also possible that a person could be missing and not kidnapped.
-What do you mean? -I mean, just hold this.
I collect all of Anamika ma'am's articles, press releases, interviews…
Look at this.
A couple months ago? She gave this interview.
Check it out.
"When people come to see me on-screen,
I want them to see the character I'm playing, not to see me."
"As much as possible, I would like to disappear."
"Disappear."
See, it's possible, right? That she ran away.
No. That just doesn't make any sense.
Her phone, her purse, everything was at home. Who leaves like that?
If she had her phone, they would've tracked her location.
No, my mother would never do that.
She would never abandon Avi and me.
But she might have wanted to take you with her.
What?
No, I know my mother.
-But look at what she said. -It was just a figure of speech.
But how can you be so sure?
Because she gave everything to us!
And I was so mean to her.
I said so many things to her.
Everything she ever did, she did for us.
And now she's just not there.
And everyone at home…
Avi is so angry.
Dad is all alone. Nobody's talking to each other, and I…
I just really miss her.
Don't worry. We'll find her.
I'll reunite you with her.
Promise.
My client has no involvement in Anamika Anand's disappearance.
Such nonsense allegations will reflect badly on your performance sheet.
This is all just routine, sir. We have pressure too, from higher up.
Anyway,
by now someone's probably chopped up Anamika Anand and thrown away the pieces.
Are you trying to get a reaction out of me?
No, why?
I'll look into it.
I had nothing to do with this.
Ma'am, it'll be back soon.
-What? -Tell me.
I didn't even know her. I had dinner with her once.
You had dinner with her once, and you decided to invest in her film?
I thought it'd be good for business.
I thought you are a good businessman, Mr. Sharma.
Don't you know that films are a terrible investment?
Madam, I don't invest in films, I invest in people.
I buy stars.
Manish Khanna, Anamika Anand. They owe me.
And I like collecting favors.
But you only met Anamika Anand once.
So she must've refused to do you any favors.
What did you do then? How did you take it out on her?
Miss Trivedi, tell me,
how is Sheila doing?
She's your…
What do you call it?
Girlfriend? Wife?
Husband?
I mean, I'm cool with all that.
But these terms, they get pretty damn confusing, don't they?
Sheila is my partner.
We have a son too.
Everyone knows about it. There's nothing to hide.
Our story isn't that juicy, Prathamesh.
Let's talk about something juicy.
I heard your club is amazing.
Turquoise, right?
Is it still open?
Some friends of mine were asking for a place to hang out.
They're from the Narcotics Bureau.
Should I send them over?
Let's come to a win-win solution.
As a show of good faith, this is my client's account ledger.
It has Anamika's movie accounts.
It is down to the last rupee.
But I have just one request.
These discussions should focus only on the case.
There are two different stories going on here. Get the film's budget file.
The film's expenses and accounting details don't match.
Fake expenses. Money laundering?
But if PK was involved in money laundering,
he would've given us the same ledger.
But the accounts ledger is different. Where did this come from?
From the production office, madam.
-But who gave it to us? -Mukherjee, the film accountant.
He's Nikhil More's guy.
All this time, we thought Nikhil was getting help from PK Sharma.
But Nikhil is double-crossing him.
PK has no idea that Nikhil is taking him for a ride.
It's like everyone around this woman is lying to each other.
-What was her name? -Whose?
That girl. Whom you were with.
I'm sorry?
Last night.
What the hell, Ma? Have you been following me?
I don't have time for that. I have people for that.
You've gone crazy. You can't do this.
I'm not a child.
You aren't a child, which is why I'm asking. What was her name?
What's it to you?
She's a professional. What she does, that's her job.
In case you're looking at her in a different way.
For you, it's two minutes of fun.
But this is her life.
It's hard-earned money.
She's trying to carve a place for herself.
You can give her basic respect, can't you?
The least I can expect from my son
is that he has the decency to ask what was her name.
Avi, this isn't who you are.
What do you know about who I am, Ma?
Madam, this came for you.
I refuse to work with PK Sharma.
He apologized, right?
Misbehaving at night and then sending flowers the next day…
He is a typical, cheap, low-class man.
Well, that low-class man is saving our movie.
We can get money from someplace else.
What do you think? I haven't tried?
I don't know. You'll have to work it out.
I won't work with a man like him, and I won't take his money.
The film's being made with loans.
We're maxed out.
That's why we need PK.
But, Nikhil, why do we need so many loans?
Because we don't have money.
-What do you mean, we don't have money? -Meaning, there isn't any.
-Mom? Mom! -Anamika!
What is it? Why are you yelling?
Nikhil is saying that we are out of money. All the accounts are empty.
Ask him. He's the one making all the investments.
Ever since I was 16, you're the one who's kept track of every cent I earn.
Tell her. That you gambled half the money away.
I don't gamble. This is how I pass the time.
Nobody has two minutes to talk to me. Everyone's caught up in their own lives.
All I do is sit in the corner like a servant.
How much money have you two blown through?
Blown through?
Just relax.
Everything will be fine after the film release.
I have it under control.
This was your plan, right?
Marry a boy from the family. Who you could control.
Someone who would listen to everything you say!
Shut up! Don't shout like an idiot!
I did what was right. Or you would have ruined everything.
You married me off to a boy that was like a brother to me.
You think that was right? Now look what happened to your plan!
-What happened? -Whatever you are now, it's because of me.
Yeah, I had nothing to do with it, right?
You haven't had a single hit film in years.
And yet here you are, living in luxury. I'm the one managing all this!
What are you managing? The money?
Who earned it? You? Or you?
This is all from my hard work, my talent.
This money is mine! This house is mine too!
You mean… the house too?
Vijju…
There are so many women like Anamika Anand.
They may not be as glamorous or famous as her.
But they project a perfect picture to the world.
Smiling.
They hide their truth, their sadness, pain…
But the question is, is she lying to the world
or to herself too?
I've spent my whole life performing for others.
I got nothing.
Today, I want to do something for me.
We have the sample.
We'll call you as soon as we get the DNA test results.
My mom is very famous.
