Please don't say anything to Rishabh, Shef.
We've gotten a house with great difficulty and we like it here.
Doofus, when you were with me, were you then also...
No, no, no! I swear.
After you, I was never the same.
That makes sense.
It's not easy to get over me.
Dodo, this has to be our secret.
Doofus!
Dodo, this has to be!
- Fine! - There you go.
Thank you.
Jia, the clock has struck 2pm. How can you still be sleeping?
What?
Why are you sleeping upside down?
Because everything in my life is upside down, D.
Just leave me alone.
What happened?
Have your followers lessened?
If that was so then I wouldn't be taking it so well, would I?
Okay, then...
Rocky did something again?
Adi kissed me.
Here.
Oh!
Oh! So much happened in my life
and you're saying oh?
- No! - No?
I mean, let's not overreact, Jia.
These things aren't so uncommon.
Oh really!
And how many times has this happened with you?
Any version?
Exactly.
See, that's not important.
What's important is that when Adi did that, how did you feel?
I mean, it was different.
Meaning?
[Phone ringing]
For how long won't you talk?
I don't know.
Avoiding it is going to do nothing, Jia.
Just think about it.
But I only know how to think about Jia.
Now how will I manage these two?
At least we're being honest here.
So, who does Jia enjoy spending time with more?
Adi or Rocky?
Well, Adi is my best friend and she takes the best
photographs of me so I like that.
I am more intelligent than Rocky, so I like that.
Adi and I have the same taste in music, which is great
but Rocky lets me play any song I want, which is also great.
I can talk for hours on end with Adi about my feelings
and she can also listen to me for hours.
But if I don't meet Rocky, he can wait hours on end for me.
So you see, Adi and Rocky are both great for Jia.
But there is only one Jia, right?
See, if we don't like some things, we immediately reject it.
I get it! Like non AC rooms, public transport, buffets...
Exactly!
And there are some things which we like with time.
Like...almond milk.
Yes. Like almond milk.
And like Adi kissing you.
And the confusion is back.
Hey Arjun, what kind of carrots are these?
How will I make dessert from these?
Simple, babes. First peel them.
Mom, you are here again?
Now this matter is getting out of hand.
What matter?
This. You hanging around my set, probably with another secret.
Unnecessary sharing.
You and I, that is, us, don't do this and I love it that way.
During papa ji's funeral you had
- only told me that... - Oh God, I remember mom
but what else could I have said to you at the funeral?
"Mummy, consider yourself alone from now onwards?"
Obviously not. I was following funeral protocol.
I was just being polite. And you took it so seriously.
Politeness isn't a seasonal thing, daughter-in-law.
I had an emergency issue so I came.
Okay, fine. What's the issue?
Hey, move aside. Get the lights.
Yes, taking.
Boyfriend issue.
What happened? He left you?
I wonder why?
Don't be silly.
He is very serious about our relationship.
And he wants me to tell Rishu everything.
Great idea! Tell him quickly.
Are you mad? I accept that I like him a lot
but not so much that I would tell Rishu.
I need time.
You don't have much time, mom.
I'm not that old, daughter-in-law!
Shef, the thing is that for the first time in my life
I have become someone's girlfriend.
This...this casual dating process is something I've begun to really enjoy.
I don't want to label our relationship and spoil the fun.
- You understand dear, don't you? - Right!
So you keep enjoying your forbidden romance
and I keep lying to my husband. Is that fair?
Don't lie. Just keep the truth hidden.
No no no no! This is too stressful. This is too stressful! I can't do it.
Before my next therapy session if you don't...
What?
Both of you have started therapy again?
No
Meaning, you go alone for therapy sessions?
Behind Rishu's back?
Wow, Shefali, amazing!
Oh God, what have I done?
Mom, please don't tell Rishabh, okay?
Oh! So now you want me to lie to Rishabh?
No, I don't want you to lie. Just do what you do best.
Just don't tell him the truth.
Yes. You keep my truth hidden and I will keep your truth hidden.
Fine.
New besties.
New secrets.
First, secret sessions with you.
Then mom and Roshan's romance.
And now Rishabh and Saurabh's truth.
This is just too much.
After all, how much can a beautiful well-meaning soul handle?
Shefali, what will happen if you tell Rishabh the truth?
All hell will break loose, Doc!
He's a child.
Sulking, tantrums, silent treatment, crying in the bathroom
these are just a few of his favourite things.
I understand.
But it's very important to tell the truth in relationships.
I think you need to tell Shefali the truth about your affair.
What?
Don't be ridiculous, Doc.
I can't handle one marriage and I will have an affair?
But you just said and I quote," I should tell Shefali the truth
especially about the affair."
Doc, I was talking about these sessions
and the TV show, The Affair of A Married Man.
Oh!
It's our favourite TV show and I had promised her
that I won't see any episode without her.
But I did.
I binged it all.
But why did you do that?
Because I discovered Japanese subtitles, Doc.
I couldn't stop myself.
Doc, I have a worrying question.
If such good looking couples with three children can have
affairs so easily
then should I be worried?
No, no.
Well...uh...maybe.
Maybe? Doc, I am not giving you 5000 plus GST for "maybe."
Be clear.
Rishabh. Till you and Shefali always tell each other the truth
till then, you don't need to worry.
I think you should tell her the truth.
I have a feeling she will understand.
And this is Roshan. My close friend.
Rishabh doesn't know that you have started coming to me again.
This has to be our secret.
You have started the sessions without Shef again.
Such a big deceit!?
I'm sorry!
Never again! Never again!
You are a liar!
You will burn in hell!
You are a liar!
Shef, janpu shinaide kudasai!
Janpu shinaide kudasai!
Huh?
Don't jump, man!
Too late.
Shef!
No!
What happened? What happened, Rish?
Oh Shef! Thank God! Thank God, you didn't jump from the balcony!
Why would I jump from the balcony?
Shef, I had a dream.
In it,you hid something from me
like a secret.
And then I learnt of it later, and because of the guilt, you...
I jumped from the balcony?
But don't worry, okay, it was just a dream.
In real life, if you have ever hidden anything from me, I will forgive you.
I will forgive everything. Okay remember. I forgave you.
- Sure? - Yes, yeah.
- Really? - Yeah.
Thank you, Rish. I love you.
I love you, I love you.
Shef?
Why is your heart pounding like that?
What happened?
It's not me.
[Phone ringing]
The phone...the phone's ringing.
Oh!
It's Jethmalani.
Oh my God!
Shall I put it on speaker?
Hello.
Mr. Malhotra.
Hello, Mr. Jethmalani.
What is your opinion about these sounds?
Jethmalani ji, is everything all right in your house?
What do you mean by that?
Hey, we aren't making these sounds!
Those two bachelor boys in the flat above us, they are making these sounds!
Whose guarantee you and your missus had taken!
I had already said that if you allow two bachelors to live here
then bachelor girls will also follow!
In all honesty Jethmalani ji, I had actually said that.
Mr. Malhotra, please put a stop to this racket,
or in the next meeting I will speak
against you! Again!
Ok. I'll do something.
Okay. Good night.
Come.
This is a strange predicament, Rish!
You shouldn't have become the chairman at all!
Are you mad?
You had only told me to become something in life.
Now that I have become something, you have a problem with that also.
[Doorbell rings]
Hey! Hi, guys.
Hi!
Everything okay, right?
- Hi! - Hi, Doofus!
Hey, matching. How sweet.
Guys, so basically, some kinds of sounds are coming from your house
and a small complaint has come in. So please just...
What do you mean "some kinds of sounds"?
The kind that don't come from our house.
I didn't understand.
I'll explain.
You know like in the beginning,
dhak- dhak, dhak-dhak then,
oh...baby really...
then, no no, wait a minute, I'm cold
switch on the fan, switch off the AC...
check the door, the kids might come in
and of course ooh, aah.
Ouch!
Oh, understood. I get it now. We were watching No More Shorts.
- Yes. - Yeah.
Guys, season two is very good. I liked it.
That lesbian scene was a little graphic, but not bad.
I didn't know you were so conservative.
Yeah, Rish, how can you be so regressive?
How am I regressive, man? I am submissive
- Shef. Life is submission. - Ha, you wish! Okay, can we leave now?
Yes, okay, bye guys.
See ya. Bye.
Rish, Rish
you have a zit.
Oh yes, he does.
It's just a blister. Let's go home and I'll pop it.
Listen, I have an amazing cream.
You won't need to pop it. I'll just get it and come.
Good. Thank you. Finally a non-violent option.
Wow man, I must say you have a really clean, neat house.
It doesn't look like men stay here.
Yeah Rish, men can also be very disciplined and house proud, you know?
Yeah, of course.
Here it is. Rish
- can you like... bend a little. - Of course. Yeah.
- Thanks. - How are you feeling?
Good. You have such soft hands.
Okay, now let's go.
Yes, lets. Guys, do whatever you want to do okay, but softly, man.
Jethmalani you know...
Absolutely. Completely understand.
Thanks.
Something is wrong, Shef.
No no, nothing is wrong. Everything is fine
Everything is straight and normal.
No, no.
I am convinced there's a girl in that house
and they both are 100% hiding this girl in the house.
- What? - What what?
Which men sit and watch
No More Shorts together?
Hey, even you watch it!
Yes, I do watch it. But I'm not normal. You had only said that.
Plus, no man can be so disciplined and house proud.
What rubbish! Stop stereotyping people, Rish.
And you stop defending your ex.
I am defending him?
You know what? Fine.
If you are so sure about it then prove it.
But I am telling you there is no girl in that house.
You're going to feel really silly about this, Rish, as usual.
You know what I think?
I think you are feeling bad that there can be another girl in Doofus's life.
Silly and stupid.
Let's say there is a girl living in that house.
That would create a new issue for you.
The society might remove them from the building
and your merger could be in trouble.
Doc, obviously I'm not going to risk the merger.
But I thought about this.
If there is a girl in that house, then I have
three specific advantages also.
A, my fear will be erased
that Doofus still has some interest in Shef today.
Out.
Number two, my leverage on Doofus for the merger.
And number three, my favourite
that I will be able to show and explain to Shef that
till date, no man has been born who, every morning
keeps fresh flowers on his centre table.
Interesting. Good analysis.
Thank you, sir.
So now how will you find out the truth?
I have a plan.
[Doorbell rings]
[Door opens]
Surprise!
Hi!
See!
I knew you'd get tired cleaning your house alone.
Oh no actually, it's also a good work out so...
I know. I understand but your place is in the gym, right Dumbbell?
I mean with the dumbbells, isn't it?
- Zoru? - Yes, brother.
Both of you go to the gym and build your bodies
and within two hours, I will find out all the dirt.
- There's really no need... - Please give it.
Please leave.
That's so sweet of you.
I mean neighbours should really be like you and Shef.
Don't think about it. It was my idea.
- Come, come, come. - Let's go.
Thanks, Zoru, thank you.
Obviously no girl was found.
But what if Zoru finds out about Rishabh and Saurabh's relationship?
He won't find out. I had informed Doofus about Rish's plan in advance.
Oh, that's clever.
Well done, Shefali.
You really are a good friend.
That I am. But I really hope that I can be
a good mother too now, Doc.
I didn't understand.
Some days ago, I needed to research
a lemon soufflé recipe for my show.
Jia's laptop was lying in front of me so I typed
the first two letters 'le'.
And the first word that came up on her recent search history
...lesbian.
What?
Jia is a lesbian?
When did I say that?
You just said it?
She might be doing research for some school project.
Okay. Jia, school project, research
is an unlikely threesome, right?
Yeah.
Now there's only one way to learn the truth.
Hi, Dia.
Are you studying?
We are really so proud of you, Dia. Really.
We really are.
What happened, guys? What do you want?
We don't want anything. Can't a mom say anything to her daughter, I mean...
Shef, it's two in the morning, let's come to the point.
Dear, we have a small tension which you can erase.
Is Jia a lesbian?
What? No!
There you go. Good. You study.
Come, let's get some sleep.
But I think she is bi-curious.
What? What are you saying, Dia?
Relax! It's not confirmed right now.
Adi kissed Jia and she's confused about it.
So I told her to go and explore.
Adi kissed Jia?
On the lips?
Yeah.
Oh boy! I think I should sit down.
You're already sitting down, Rish.
Now both of you please don't create a scene like parents in those Hindi TV serials.
Just know that your orientation is designed by birth.
And Jia is an adult.
At least give her a chance to think for herself.
Jia, adult and thinking. It's another threesome
that just doesn't go together, Dia.
Goodnight.
Shefali, do you have a problem with Jia being a lesbian?
Well, I thought about it.
And no, I have no problem.
But you know how society can be, right?
I don't think Jia will be able to handle all this
the way Rishabh and Saurabh have to handle it.
It's really so difficult for them.
And perhaps that's why Rish is also worried.
[Phone ringing]
Hi, Rish.
Hi, Shef. Did you buy Stressnil?
Yes Rish, I bought Stressnil.
Okay, so then can I have it for breakfast, lunch and dinner?
No, Rish, you can't have it for breakfast, lunch and dinner, okay?
Shef, I'm extremely stressed. Where are you right now?
I...I am going to the Blue Water Mall for shopping.
Should I also come? For window shopping?'
No, Rish, you can't come for window shopping. Now bye.
I deserve an award, Doc. Really!
Why aren't you saying anything?
I am thinking of how much times have changed.
Meaning?
I mean... we shouldn't be serious.
We should enjoy this dating phase.
We shouldn't pressurise this relationship with any kind of promises or commitments.
And as soon as possible, we should go to Goa
and enjoy Margaritas on the beach.
Darn! These should have been my lines.
Exactly! I want you to think exactly like this.
Telling children the truth is highly overrated.
They can be quite close-minded.
Rosh, trust me on this.
[Phone ringing]
Yes speak, Zoru.
Breaking news, brother! Breaking news!
I've found something which will bring Doofus's truth out in the open.
Finally, good news.
Tell me quickly, Zoru. Well done!
Listen. I was cleaning Doofus ji's window
and just then, I overheard him talking on the phone.
On the phone Doofus said, "I love you, I want you, I need you."
And made a plan to meet!
Wow!
Seems like a new love.
By the way, when and where is the plan to meet?
Today, 2pm, at the Blue Water Mall.
Blue Water Mall?
Hm.
I am going to the Blue Water Mall for shopping.
I guess they don't make them like me anymore.
They really don't.
What a fantastic body he has.
Where are you going?
To set up Rishabh's house.
There he is.
Come.
Ma?
