Hello? Hello? Hello?
Hello? Hello? Yes, yes. Yeah.
Choice and Care. Yes, yes.
Hello? Hello?
Hello? Choice and Care.
10 days later ma'am, I told you...
-Please take a seat. -Ma'am.
Hello ma'am. I had an appointment with Dr. Vidushi.
The appointment was at 2 pm but it's still not my turn.
I am sorry ma'am, you will have to wait a bit longer.
There are 13 patient ahead of you in line.
-It will take at least 2 more hours. -That's unacceptable.
We travelled a long way to see her.
I came from Ratnagiri.
-I came from Rajasthan. -And I am from Russia.
Why? Don't they have doctors there?
Not like Dr. Vidushi... She is world famous in Russia.
Okay, okay, but you have to wait. Please.
Forget about her, let's talk to the doctor.
You have to wait your turn.
No we will talk to her directly.
Doctor? Doctor!
Yes? What happened?
You had an appointment.
They cancelled.
Hi! I am Dr. Vidushi Kothari.
MBBS, MD, OB-GYN.
OB stands for obstetrician. Child-birth doctors.
GYN stands for gynecologist.
Women's health doctor.
But there should be a few more short forms in front of my name.
Like NJ.
Non-Judgmental.
Or MP. Max Progressive.
Or empty.
That's not a short form.
It's how my clinic is doing.
Empty.
But I will do MA. Max attempt.
To make it MF. Max Full.
No problem.
All I need is a pregnancy case.
May I talk to Dr. Shalini JP?
I wanted to introduce myself. Hi! I am Dr. Vidushi.
You might be pregnant but don't worry I will take care of it.
Yes, I have an MD degree from Batatawala Chandimal college.
Yes of course it's a real college!
Lone tigress club of Dombivli?
Would your members be interested in free pap smears?
No?
You're Dr. Kothari, right? Ladies doctor.
Yes, I started a clinic in your area one month ago.
Actually my daughter and my son-in-law are trying to have a child.
So I needed a list of pre-natal vitamins from you.
Could I get a discount...
-30 percent... -30 percent?
Does that work? Yes, it's fine.
By the way, I have been experiencing hot flashes these days too.
So can you add the two and give us a 60% discount?
What are you saying mummy?
I am so sorry, we don't want to disturb you.
-Let's go mom. -Hey! Let me just...
We... can discuss the discount.
When I was young I dreamt of becoming a neurologist.
But my marks shot down all of my dreams.
And I became an OB-GYN.
But that was when I realized
that whatever happens
happens for a child.
And I don't have that.
A child.
I am an OB without a baby.
I have delivered 1,223 babies in my residency.
Under Dr. Sujata.
Who is under Dr. Nirali.
Who is under Dr. Suresh.
I don't know why people still think I am inexperienced.
Yes nurse Violet?
Doctor, I have scheduled an appointment for 3 pm tomorrow.
The issue is delayed periods.
Okay nurse. Thank you.
Good morning nurse Violet!
-Your 3 pm is here. -Okay Nurse.
Come.
Name?
Aksha...
Vag... Vajradanti.
Aksha Vajradanti?
That's right...
-Age? -21!
No, one second...
22!
No, wait. 21.
21 and a half.
Your complaint is for delayed periods, right?
Unmarried? Right?
What happened?
-No, I am so sorry... -Are you okay?
-I will clean it up. No, it's okay... -It's okay, I will clean it up.
-Don't worry. -No, I will clean it up.
That poor girl must have some problem.
Why would she come to the clinic and run away?
Don't worry man. People run away when they meet Swara too.
And they should run.
Now finish your food plate.
These are my best friends.
Swara and Meher. They're like my family.
Swara is the mother. The head of the house.
I am the daughter. The good girl.
-And Meher... -Sip?
Fuck, this has alcohol.
The family dog.
The cute dog.
Pre-game bro.
-For the party. -But the party is tomorrow!
That's why I called it "pre-game"
otherwise I would have called it game.
Don't bend I got it.
Hello?
Meher, I am too stressed about the clinic to attend this party.
Yes, this is Swara Jain!
Come on! Devika really wants to meet you both.
And apparently she knows you from before.
But you guys aren't even that serious.
Who said that?
I don't get it, what are you guys doing?
This is my third call today!
Vidushi.
I know why you're stressed, because you will be all alone.
I will bring Devika and Swara will bring Rahul.
You need to get over your ex.
And don't worry, I know you don't date doctors
so I won't bring a doctor.
I am over my ex!
And I don't need a date, I need a pregnant woman.
Yes, yes, perfect.
2 pm works for me. Great!
Thank you! Thank you!
Finally.
I got an appointment with celeb gynaec Seema Braganza.
Yes, Swara is pregnant. I am not her OB.
But this Seema Braganza is nothing special, okay?
Fine, I was 22nd in my graduating class...
but who could be better than her best friend to deliver her baby?
Tell me?
Tell me!
There were 21 people ahead of you, right?
Any one of them will do.
You...
You know you're the world's biggest asshole, right?
At least I am number one at something.
I will just be back.
I just have to convince her I am better than Seema Braganza.
Or... that Seema Braganza is worse than you.
I have been waiting for 45 minutes, what's wrong?
Sorry for the delay.
Um... ma'am she will assist you.
-Okay. -Swara!
What are you doing here?
Where is Rahul?
Sir, we don't have any medicine called "Fuckoffnil".
What do you mean?
This doctor is my wife's best friend.
And she said, "Fuckoffnil" is a must during pregnancy.
Look again. Please look again.
Never mind.
Quick.
Dr. Braganza?
Actually I wanted to ask some questions before--
Mrs. Swara Jain anomaly reports are doing good,
no markers showing. Come let's get you checked.
-Heels off. -Yeah.
Wow!
You delivered Anaya Kapoor's baby too, didn't you?
I heard she looks horrible without make-up.
I don't gossip about my patients Miss...
Vidushi!
You're affiliated with BH Hospital?
Isn't that the hospital which was selling opioids last year?
No, that's BP Hospital.
BH recently got the best multi-speciality Hospital in the city award.
And they also gave me the best OB gynaec award but not in the city.
In India.
Mrs. Swara Jain.
Let me just prescribe.
Don't you think she's not gaining enough weight?
We have a good Dietitian. She will look into it.
I don't need to do that.
-Her BP is low. -That's okay. Normal in pregnancy.
She's got a temperature!
That's what I figured out and I am recommending an antibiotic Monocef...
But... one minute.
Aha!
Swara is allergic to Monocef!
I knew you would miss something.
That's the problem with busy doctors.
What are you doing Vidushi? Don't--
What are you doing? I just figured out that she is allergic to Monocef.
I was going to prescribe Azithromycin before you finished your sentence.
Ma'am I am really sorry. She is my best friend
and she is an OB herself so she--
Oh really? She is an OB? Then what are you doing here?
You should be consulting her!
Don't waste my precious time!
Do you even know where you are?
Do you even know who I am?
Seema Braganza.
Dr. Seema Braganza.
If nepotism is still alive in Bollywood it's because of me.
I don't like anybody vouching or questioning my efforts and methods.
So you both can leave. Now!
Next patient please!
Listen, Swara. Listen.
-I am sorry, I just wanted to show-- -Show me what?
What did you want to show me Vidushi?
I know what she wanted to show me. I am not dumb.
But it's not like she opened a food stall
and it's the only place I can eat from.
This is about my baby.
And I want an experienced OB to deliver it.
Does that make me a bad person?
I don't think so.
Dr. Braganza's niece is my junior from college.
I will talk to her.
I will fix this I promise.
You will get another appointment Swara.
I will try my best.
You better! Let's go.
I know. It has to be her choice!
If I force her to do this and I make a mistake
then Swara will kill me.
And it's not like I didn't try.
I have been giving her hints for the last four months!
You know Swara...
If I had a heart problem...
and you were a cardiologist.
Then I would want you to deliver my heart.
What?
I don't have anything. My clinic is a flop!
Oh no, it's me the patient from yesterday.
I came here all the way from Dadar by taking a train, a bus and an auto.
I need your help. I don't want to talk to your nurse.
I want to talk to you. Please help me.
Okay, okay. Come, come.
Sit.
Name?
Akshata. Akshata Mesharam.
Tell me Akshata, what is the problem?
Actually... my periods have been delayed by two weeks.
Any other symptoms?
No doctor.
Any history of disease?
I had Chicken Pox in the 3rd std once.
Are you on any medication?
Sexually active?
But I have only done it once... with protection.
Okay. Let me examine you.
I will insert my fingers now.
You might experience some discomfort.
Just breathe in...
and breathe out.
Okay, okay, okay. I lied.
I have done it more than once. I have done it a lot!
But only a few times without protection and with a single partner.
Nurse can you come in please?
No please! Don't call her!
I will tell you the truth. I have done it with a few different people.
But the protection thing was completely true.
I was just going to ask for tea.
Would you like a cup?
Two cups of tea please.
Drink the tea Akshata.
When I am nervous it really soothes me.
Did you do a home pregnancy test? The one on a pee stick.
I don't know why but I just can't do it.
Then do it in a cup.
I can't do it in a cup either.
When I know that I am peeing to test it then I can't do it.
Otherwise I can.
Then go pee normally and get the test done.
But then I will know that I am peeing normally to test it.
Then it's a test pee and I get very--
Okay, Okay... Are you afraid of needles?
Okay, we will do a blood test then.
Swara, pass me the oregano.
Hey! I said I will fix it!
But till then this is how you get the oregano.
How much longer do I have to bear this?
Say something to her, help me out.
I went to 13 chemists to get "Fuckofflin".
If you don't want to help then just say that.
What up? What up? What up bitches?
We got drinks!
Who is 'We'?
Hi...
Hey...
Where is the kitchen?
Vidushi, that...
is your bedroom.
Our alcohol was delivered to his house.
So I thought we should deliver him to our house.
You know, one six-pack free with another.
-For you. -Stop it.
Vidushi chill.
Your luck is not that bad that he turns out to be a doctor.
Besides, have you heard of two doctors in one building?
Hi, I am Dr. Arth Ameja.
Pediatrician.
- Nice to meet you. - Same here.
Dr. Arth Ameja?
Dr. Vidushi Kothari.
Oh...
Batatawala Chandimal college?
-So, you're an OB? -Yeah.
-And I believe she's your-- -Eat some pizza man!
Stop talking so much. Sit and have some pizza.
Talk way too much... I will see who it is.
Eat some pizza.
Take a seat.
OMG!
I can't believe it!
Swadushi! Do you remember me?
Your junior from school? Deva?
-Yeah? Yeah! Right, right. -Yeah? Of course!
-Deva. -Deva! Oh my God...
You guys were so popular in school. I told Meher.
You? You're besties with Swadushi!
How lucky!
Man, I can't believe you guys still do everything together.
How cool...
By the way, congratulations.
-Thanks. -By the way...
I bet you waited didn't you Swara?
For Vidushi to become an OB.
Before getting pregnant? Right?
You did? Right?
Anyway, how cool is it that your bestie will deliver your baby?
What?
What did I do now?
Excuse me.
Vidushi, I think we should talk.
-Hello? -Dr. Vidushi!
A... Akshata?
The lab was like I will get the results by tomorrow.
What if someone at home finds out?
I might die worrying! I will die doctor, you have to help me.
-Okay, okay. Breathe. -Please doctor.
And don't worry. Just come to the clinic.
I am already standing outside!
I will be right there okay? You wait for 10 minutes.
-I will drop you. -There's no need.
-Are you angry? -No.
-Then let me drop you. -Fine!
Let's go. Take your bag.
Thanks for the drop.
-Now go back. -No, I will wait here.
Fine. Wait here.
But I don't know how long it will take.
It's a very complicated case.
The patient needs a gynaec like me.
Someone with medical expertise and smarts...
-Is it working? -No. Not yet.
Think about water.
A flowing river, a drizzling waterfall,
-a wandering spirit. -What?
I don't know, just go with it!
Akshata, we can never sort this problem as long as it stays here.
Bring it here.
We might not sort it but it will definitely be easier.
It's time to face your fears... Swara!
Come in.
It's all my fault!
This is punishment for my stupidity.
It was a random date!
What if it's positive?
I can't raise a kid! I am a kid!
Akshata... All of these issues go away if the test is negative.
Right? And if it's positive then you have options.
It's a very simple procedure.
You don't have to do anything you don't want to.
I am right here with you.
You won't tell my parents, right?
Are you over 18?
Then why would I tell them?
Thank you doctor.
I bet your life is very sorted.
Are you ready to try again?
Okay, wipe your tears now.
Dr. Braganza's tomorrow at 3. Here, take this.
How did you get this?
You forgot it there.
I have answered all of your questions.
And added a few of my own.
"Mom's should eat for two," is a myth. Ignore it.
Just focus on the quality of the food.
And once again I am sorry.
Vidushi...
No Swara. You're right.
Dr. Braganza is too impressive and I am too inexperienced.
It was unfair of me to expect you to do that.
Yes, it was.
But...
But?
Dr. Braganza ticks all the boxes for a perfect OB.
Except one.
Care.
I want a doctor who would leave a party in the middle of the night for me.
Not one that can't even give me 15 minutes.
Actually...
You're right Vidushi.
I don't think Dr. Braganza would care about me or this baby as much as...
As much as who?
Dr. Vidushi.
-Will you be my OB? -Yes, of course! Yes!
That is why I always say...
"Confidence is everything."
If you want something,
you just have to go get it.
You realize you still haven't asked me, right?
-I asked you-- -And fear is normal!
Totally normal.
And in my case,
my first pregnancy case.
Get it? My case. My first case.
