"Letme go home, beloved. Let me go home. "
"Let me go home, beloved. Let me go home. "
Dreams are sold differently in different cities.
Because the city and it's monotonous life needs the vision and color..
..of a beautiful dream to make itself big.
A city like this, where a dream of..
..becoming an international super model..
I, Meghna Mathur dreamt and lived.
The only difference was that my dream was bigger than the city.
Since you were tired of eating the potato pancakes for breakfast..
..so I made radish pancakes today.
Mother, this has a lot of butter. - Have it.
I told you I am on a diet.
Having one won't make a difference.
Of course, it will. I am trying to lose two kilos.
I got my portfolio done.
I was thinking of leaving for Mumbai on Monday.
Monday reminds me, I have spoken to Mehra Associates.
They have agreed on an internship with them..
..while you finish your chartered accountants course.
In fact, you can start with them from Monday.
Papa, you didn't hear me.
I want to go to Mumbai..
to become a model.
I don't want to do an internship.
Meghna, I've told you earlier also.
Never mind.
Listen, dreaming isn't bad but..
But what father?
Fulfill only your dreams?
Can't I have my own dream?
I have decided..
I am going to Mumbai.
In that case there is nothing left to discuss.
Do as you wish..
..but don't expect anything from me.
A little encouragement perhaps..
Encouragement for what?
You have lost your mind after winning a small beauty pageant.
It was my fault.
Wants to be a model!
Thoug h I have spoken to your uncle Baldev..
..call me as soon as you reach.
Father..
Don't worry. Everything will be alright
Love you..
You were much younger during cousin Kuldeep's wedding.
Divya is very happy ever since she learnt you were coming.
Sister..
Mother was mentioning that you want to model.
Itwill be great to watch her on television.
Divya..
Come Meghna, I will show you to your room.
Of course and be comfortable.
Thank you.
This is Divya's room..
You will have to share it with her.
Sure.
It's a little small..
..but you won't be here for long.
Maybe a month, until I get work.
Alright, freshen up, till then I will serve breakfast.
Thank you.
Okay, not today. Alright, I'll talk to you later.
Hi. - Hello gorgeous, welcome to Mumbai.
No, no, darling. Lesson number one..
..never kiss the cheeks, okay?
Sit.
I'm sorry I'm late but what could I do.
Vinay wouldn't let me go.
Now before you jump into any conclusions, Vinay Khosla is my boss.
You know the famous Bollywood designer.
This evening we have to do fittings for Duggu..
You know last minute changes. - Duggu?
Duggu.. Hrithik.
Anyway, enough of blabbering. You tell me how you are.
I'm okay.
When I saw you in that silly beauty contest in Chandigarh..
I just knew that you are going to be a star.
Thank you, Rohit.
I'm here because you showed confidence in me.
Now everything is in your hands.
Don't worry, darling. I am your man.
Do you have your pictures? - Yes, of course!
Okay, let me have a look.
What's the matter?
Nothing. Nothing. Fine. Interesting, I'll handle it, okay?
Who are you looking for?
Your casting agent.
Here?
Shomu, hot shot co-ordinator, a Godmother to the newcomers.
Don't be too fussy.
Have you ever travelled by plane before?
I'm sending you to a foreign location.
So what if the role is small?
You will suffer one day.
And Shweta, you have a two day job.
No one gives more than 25,000 rupees for a Punjabi dance number.
I would have done it, if I were taller.
Ma'am, you are being called inside.
Who is it?
Are you new?
Are you from the north? - Yes.
What size are you?
Small, medium, large?
Listen, I am not interested.
It's the client who wants to know.
I was just about to call you.
I'm sending a girl for the catalogue. Check her out.
What? What is your name?
Meghna.. Meghna Mathur.
Her name is Meghna Mathur.
Bye.
Okay, listen, You have an audition tomorrow.
B 409, Adarsh Nagar. Be there at eleven o'clock.
Take the number from this chick.
Chick?
An audition? Tomorrow?
Yes, and listen if it works..
..I take a twenty per cent cut. Is that clear?
Okay.
Stop here, I think this is the place.
How much is it?
Fifteen rupees.
Take this.
I recently did two advertisements.
What about you?
I'm an airhostess.
I got bored of serving people..
..so now I want to be a model.
Do you have a problem with that?
No. - Then stop bothering me.
It is a soap commercial, isn't it?
Alright, I will be there.
I am at Adarsh Nagar right now.
I will be at Famous studios in an hour.
Okay, pal, I'll be there, bye.
New?
Yes.
Auditioning for the first time?
How did you guess?
Only novices walk around with their portfolio.
Seasoned models, like us, send it in earlier or email it to them.
By the way, I'm Manav.. Manav Bhasin. - Hello.
A veteran struggler. Since nine months.
And you? - Who is Meghna Mathur?
That's me.
Please, come in. - Yes.
All the best. - Thank you.
Saira Khan.. give me your left profile..
Right profile..
Hi, I am Saira Khan. Age 22..
You can contact me on 98..
Hi.. my name is Meghna Mathur.
My mobile number is 9820131 139.
Have patience, darling.
You can't be tired in just three or four auditions.
It takes up to three hundred auditions at times..
to finally get a break
Now just relax, okay? Have your coffee. It's not easy, dear.
Okay. I'll call you later.
One week is over..
Will you do a lingerie advertisement?
Shomu..
I have told you a million times, It's lingerie not lin-guh-ree.
The same thing.
Will you do it?
Shomu, just behave yourself, okay? Meghna is a star.
Meghna won't do such degrading commercials.
Why are you getting angry?
What is so degrading in a lingerie advertisement?
Haven't you seen commercially successful models in calendars?
They wear whatever they are told.
Attitude walks in before stardom.
And you go to Bandra. I'll give you an address.
Don't take her seriously.
She just talks nonsense sometimes, okay?
Look, just relax, darling. I've got a surprise for you.
We are going for a fashion show tomorrow. - Fashion Show?
That too Rahul Arora's fashion show.
Rahul Arora! I have only seen him on television.
So tomorrow evening it is Rahul Arora's fashion show. Live!
Love, I have told you so many times not to keep your phone switched off.
Because I get worried.
You know, you are becoming impossible now.
Not the same thing again!
I am not being possessive.
I should at least know where you are..
..and what you're up to.
That's nonsense and you know it is not true.
We've been together since six months..
..and I know you quite well.
No, I don't want to discuss it?
Now what?
Behave..
Come on, Rahul, just once.
No.. - Please baby, say it. Please, darling.
Not right now. - Please, darling. Please say it, once.
Try to understand. - Darling, please.
Okay, I am hanging up the phone.
One minute. We are meeting tonight, aren't we? - Yes.
I'll see you soon. Okay? Okay. Bye. - Rahul..
Yes mother..
What can I say?
The whole world is talking.
Everyone is laughing at me.
They say I don't want you to get married.
Let them talk. How does it affect us?
How can I bear it?
We can't go against society.
It's high time you got married.
Your uncle Kishen from London had called.
He sent some pictures through email.
Mom! I don't want to see any pictures of girls.
At least look at them. - Mom, please..
At least don't bother me today.
Tomorrow is my show and l' m really nervous.
"l know baby that you need me. "
Oh Jassi, what are you doing?
Look straight. Yes.
That's good.
And turn.
Make a note. Third sequence. Dinaz is first.
Girls, walk faster, this isn't a garden.
Couturier, lets see it.
Now listen quickly get ready for it. We don't have much time.
And please, concentrate.
Couturier, what is this?
This is the show stopper outfit.
Increase the length of the slit.
There are only three hours left for the show.
Please leave. Don't stress me out.
Please, quickly.
Rahul, pay attention now okay? We have a run through, alright?
Yes, but where is Shonali?
When is she ever punctual that today will be an exception?
She is your show stopper and your favourite.
Why aren't we sitting in the front row? It's absolutely empty.
Are you nuts? That's reserved seating, darling.
Just watch what happens there in a while.
Hi.. come on, Jack.
Sir.. sir.. this is reserved, sir.
Are you mad? Listen, this is not the first row like this.
I am leaving, okay?
You know where? - Yes, sir.
Now come on, speak to Rahul and arrange for it fast.
Okay, sir. Give me two minutes. I'll arrange it.
Hello, J.P, I have a situation out here.
Relax, dude.
Sweetie, this is my number, call me.
Hi.
Meghna.. - Yes?
Look there.
There in the front row, that's my boss Vinay Khosla.
He is Rahul's biggest rival..
..and his most loyal audience.
He doesn't miss a single show.
That guy?
Don't you point! - I am sorry. - This is cheap.
There, right hand corner..
That's Ashish Suri.. Rahul's boyfriend.
He is so cute, isn't he?
I hate Rahul.
Look, front row center. That's the fashion power list.
She is Shelly Duggal, the editor of a famous fashion magazine.
Sitting to her left, there.. can you see the lady in the animal print?
Anisha Roy, the owner of Profiles Agency.
Every top model since the past six years is from their agency.
Oh, here come Mr. and Mrs. Abhijeet Sarin.
She is a hi-flying socialite, but he..
he is the big daddy of the fashion world.
The owner of Panache.
His brand is the biggest status symbol in the fashion world.
Everyone dances to his tunes. Everyone.
Ladies and gentlemen, can you take your seats?
The show is about to begin.
Charm, Charm,
Charm,
C'mon, sing with me "
Look my dear. - Shonali Gulral.
That's right. The Diva.
"Charm, "
"The charm is ofthe body. "
"This charm is famous. "
"This charm is also a goal. "
"Get lucky here, "
"Charm, Charm, "
You idiot!
I'm in the middle of the show..
I told you not to call me.
That was Mohsi n, isn't it?
God knows how many times you'll break up and patch up.
Shonali, your next change. - Yes, I know that.
"The fire in you."
That's Jassi, isn't she?
"She walks in style, "
"lt lights up fire in love. "
"Charm, Charm, "
"It's the charm..
..ofFashion. "
"Charm, Charm, "
"It's the charm of fashion. "
"This Charm, " - "Go, Go, " - "One 's sake, "
"Guess what? "
"Charm, Charm, "
Start di m ming the lights. Now ask them to stand back.
"It's the charm of fashion. "
Ladies and gentlemen, put your hands together for Rahul Arora!
"Charm. Charm."
"Charm, Charm, "
"Charm, "
"It's the charm of fashion. "
I would like to thank Mr. Abhijeet Sarin..
..and Panache lndia for showing so much of confidence in me.
And I look forward to this.
What about your next collection?
Well, you will have to wait for this.
Spoke to Manish, you're on for the Delhi show. Okay?
Hi, Christine. - Hi. - Hi.
The show was fantastic. - Yes.
We just loved the music. - Thank you.
Christine, this is Meghna. - Hi. - Hi.
She is here to be a model.
Isn't she gorgeous? - Yes, sure.
You know, you really must use her.
She'll dazzle the ramp.
Okay, send me your pictures.
No. No. it's okay. - So cute.. do it.
Excuse me, girls. Hi.
Hi, lmmi.. - Hi.
You are looking great. - Yes.
Can I show you my photographs?
I have them here with me.
Here. - Bye.
Okay. - Okay.
Excuse me.
I agree you may not like the pictures but you needn't throw them.
Attitude! Doesn't come through in your photographs.
You need a good photographer, baby.
Who would you go to if you were in my place?
Darling, I'd never be in your place!
Kartik Suri, he's your man.
You know Rohit, Kartik is very busy these days.
Traveling, international photo shoots, you know it.
Okay, Come on, Sonu, look at her. She is a star, you know it.
What difference will one photo shoot make?
I'm sure if you put in a word he will agree.
Look, please.
He charges 50,000 rupees, along with make up and styling.
And separate charges for costumes.
Can she afford it?
Of course.
But Meghna..
Wait. - Well then, 1 0,000 rupees advance.
Will 7,000 rupees do for now?
I only have that much with me right now.
But how did you..
I'm making an appointment for..
..the 20th of next month at eight in the morning.
If you cancel you forfeit the advance. Okay?
Yes. - Actually.. - That's fine.
Okay. - Seven.. here is the advance.
Manav, I told you earlier as well..
..ifyou want to progress in this industry..
..you have to compromise.
Come on, do you think that all the successful models..
..found work just like that?
They also had to compromise.
I can't do what others do.
I want to be successful on my own terms.
Not like this.
Well, suit yourself.
Anyway, thank you for your time. Have a good day.
Hi Amar, where are you?
Hi, Mrs. Agarwal..
Rohit here, from Vinay Khosla's office, ma'am.
Ma'am, l' m here with the outfits for the trial.
Yes, that's right. - Manav!
Yes. - Ma'am.. - Oh hi.
Hi, how are you? - Good, how are you? - Good.
What are you doing here? Did you have a meeting?
At lunch, ma'am? - Yes, a kind of.. - I didn't do it till now.
That's what I came here for, but it didn't work out.
Anyway. - I'll see you after lunch. - I'll see you later.
Okay, bye. - Okay.
Who is that? - Just a friend.. model.
You should have at least introduced me to him.
He's quite hot. - Rohit.
Now what? - Lunch.
Enjoy, Meghna. I only have mineral water.
Especially when someone else is paying the bill.
But how can we eat out here, it's so expensive.
Just relax, okay?
Mrs. Agarwal is an NRl. She is very rich.
She told me to have lunch and add the bill to her account.
Shomu called today. - What? - Yes.
She said there is a party at some hotel.
If I have to make contacts, I must go.
Should I go?
Of course, you should go Meghna!
Networking is very important.
What fun!
Lunch and dinner both at a five star hotel.
You are on a roll.
"Hey baby!"
Sorry. Hi, Janet here.
Stop fooling around.
The girls have been waiting in the lobby since long.
Listen, there are three girls..
..one ofthem is new.
Just explain it to them. Properly, okay?
Yes, I'll be there in five minutes.
Sorry, Sameer, I have to go.
Working, you know. Love doesn't provide food.
Sameer?
Not Sameer, honey, Sohail.
Oh, it's my fault. Sorry. Bye.
Stay together, okay? - Okay.
Where is Bajaj?
Hello Janet! - Hello!
Welcome to the party, how are you?
Very well. How are you doing? - Come. Come.
Come. Come. - Let me introduce you to my friends.
Sir.. Janet, meet Mr.. - Hi.
A young businessman from Oman.
Hi. - And sir, meet Ms. Janet.
She is a very well-known model from Mumbai.
Hi.. very nice meeting you. - Nice to meet you.
Nice meeting you.
Meet my friends, Shaheen. - Hi. - The music video queen.
The 'Kanta laga' type.
She is Meghna. - Hello.
The famous super hit Bollywood item girl.
She is Anita, the famous calendar girl. - Hello.
Hi!
One vodka with coconut water on it. Vodka?
No thank you, I don't drink.
Drink up. It's free and imported too.
Shomu said that I could make some contacts here.
Drink ma'am. - Contacts? And that too here?
Just smile and look pretty for the photographs.
And then our job is done. That's it!
Thank you. - Janet! - Yes Bajaj, coming.
Good party, isn't it? Mukesh Tyagi.
I run an ad agency. Talent Unlimited and you?
Meghna Mathur..
You are a model, right?
No, not as yet but hopefully..
Come on, you look professional.
Send me some of your photographs.
I suggest that you drop in to my office.
I have good contacts.. perhaps I can help you.
Sure.. - Do one thing, this is my card and..
call me up on my mobile. - Okay?
Janet, Meet Mr..
Mukesh Tyagi. He runs an ad agency. Yes.
Talent Unlimited.
"Send me your pictures, "
Or "drop into my office, "
He says he has a lot of contacts.
He has been doing the party rounds since the past five years.
Listen, fraud..
..with those old lines, you won't catch any fish. - Go from here.
What's the problem with you small town girls?
Anyone who speaks halfway decent English, can get anywhere with you.
Come on, let's go.
You want to make contacts.
Janet, Reema, Meghna.
Dolly, that's your 15,000. I've cut five for the advance.
There are 1 0,000 in the packet. - Okay, fine.
And here's your 1 8,000.
Don't ask for conveyance.
We've got a party like this after a month. Get it.
And Meghna..
It's your first time so I'm paying you 1 2,000.
What are you looking at? Here take it.
Don't want it?
No.. but.. money?
You're paid for the work you did.
Work?
Didn't you pose for the camera?
People like having girls at such parties.
Mr. Bajaj is an event manager..
..he contacts me for the models.
It's like this..
..pretty girls increase the glamour quotient for such parties.
High society calls this eye candy, understood?
Here take this.
Here.
And here, Reema.
What's this? Where have you been? - What do I do?
Don't you want your money? What should I do?
The world of glamour is strange..
..you are so desperate to achieve success..
..that the difference between what's right and wrong begins to blur.
To be honest, there's barely any time to think about it.
As the date for the portfolio got closer..
..my hopes began to diminish.
Meghna darling, why are you so tense?
Everything will work out, dear. I promise.
How is it possible, Rohit?
Only six days to go for the portfolio..
..and I still don't have the money.
You know what he said..
If I don't pay the entire amount..
..then I forfeit the advance.
And I still have 30,000 to go.
Meghna, if you don't mind..
Shomu's offer is still open.
I don't know.
You could give it a try.
It's worth a shot.
Lingerie?
"Beautiful lady. "
"Drive me crazy. "
"Beautiful lady. "
Janet, show some more skin.
I've shown enough for what I've been paid. Get it?
Fine, let's get on with it.
"Come on, "
"Beautiful lady. "
"You drive me crazy. "
Don't feel shy.
It's weird for the first ten seconds..
..after that, you will get used to it.
Come on madam. Take off your gown.
There are other models waiting for the shoot.
Quickly, there are three more to go.
Come on madam, make it quick.
Just feel free, do not stress.
Take this. - Meghna, relax.
Archana.. very good.
Have some tea, you will feel better. - No.
Okay, left profile now.
Janet, your cheque. - Thank you.
Meghna, that's yours. You remember my commission, right?
Yes, but Shomu are you sure this..
..advertisement won't be released here?
I told you that it won't get released here.
This advertisement is only for Sri Lanka and Bangladesh. Is that clear?
Don't worry.
You've done the advertisement now, so..
Now chin up. - Just have a smoke and chill.
Thanks. I don't smoke.
Meghna, don't think so much.
The lesser you think, the more you will make.
Thanks Janet.
Oh yes. Tomorrow is your portfolio shoot, isn't it?
Yes. - All the best. I know you'll rock. - Thanks.
Okay guys, let's get this done.
Alright.. just look up a bit. Relax, yes. Okay.
Now look at me. Smile.
Yes, nice. That's good.
Look at me and chin down. Chin down.
- Chin slightly down. Relax now.
Okay. Do it again! - Sorry.
Smile.. yes. Much better.
Okay, great.
Look at me. That's a nice smile. Hold that.
Hold that pose.
Superb!
Anisha, didn't I mention that..
I haven't seen a striking impressive face recently.
And I finally found one. She is unbelievable.
Irene. - Yes, ma'am.
Send in the Kartik girl, please. - Okay.
Meghna Mathur! That's me!
So you want to be a model?
No ma'am.
A super model.
Ambitious.
Do you know the city gets two hundred girls everyday..
..who aspire to be a model.
I know.
But.. how many of them..
..get a chance to sit across you?
Kartik was right, you have spunk. - Thank you.
But that will not suffice.
What did you tell me your name was?
Meghna.. - Yes, Meghna.
Meghna, in the fashion industry..
..even a little talent will do.
But if you have the wrong attitude..
..nothing will work.
You have attitude.
Use it with prudence or it will be mistaken for arrogance.
That won't happen.
Really!
Yes.
Won't you be there to guide me?
I like your confidence.
What are you doing tomorrow?
Nothing yet.
Not good?
Oh, horrible.
Actually, I don't know a lot about wines.
Don't worry there are very few over here who do.
At least you are honest.
Ross, two glasses of Merlot, please.
Try this, you'll like it. - Okay.
Still the same.
You've either tried wine for..
..the first time or had a lot of it.
That's why you can't tell the difference.
By the way, I am Abhijeet Sarin. - I know you, everybody knows you.
I am Meghna Mathur. - Now I know you.
Want to try something more interesting?
Yes.. - Come, let's go. - Okay. Come.
Cheers.
These models are so thin.
I've heard they do drugs?
I don't know. Not all of them, maybe a few.
And guess what, Sheetal..
I heard that designer Varun Ramani's wife is..
having an affair with her gym instructor.
Then you know the latest.
Rajan Sodhi has hidden cameras in his wife's bedroom.
And? - And guess what, she got caught.
What are you saying?
I just don't understand. How can people get into such situations?
Does she know this?
You seem quite intelligent. so what's this craze for modelling?
You too are intelligent and are also in the same business.
So the comparison is with me..
It's not like that..
It doesn't matter.
I judge people by their ambition.
Really, so what do you think of me?
You've hardly told me anything about yourself..
What can I say? Like thousands of girls..
I too want to be a successful model.
But there's a small difference. - What's that?
That l' m better than the rest.
That you are.
Come, let's go. - Yes.
You know you're very lucky, Meghna.. What?
You've been meeting these people.. Kartik.. Sarin.
The formula to this business is..
the right timing, knowing the right people and the right publicity.
I've thought about it.
I will feature you in Leena Mehta's show.
Really? - It is a big show. - Yeah.
Everything is happening so quickly..
..don't get overconfident.
This is just the first step.
Everything depends on what you make of this opportunity.
And, where you want to go from here.
I know where I want to reach.
Shona.. - Ritu? Why is she calling you?
Shona my phone.. -You told me she doesn't call you.
Shona, give me my phone..
-Why did you lie to me? - Leave my phone.
Why is she calling you? You fool! You lied to me? - She needs help.
Shona, give me my phone. - Why? - What are you doing?
Are you the only one who can help her?
Shona.. - You fool, you are doing it again. You are lying to me.
Let me talk to her. I need to talk to her. - Shona, leave it.
Shona!
You fool! I have a show tomorrow.
Come on, Shona. I told you there is nothing like that.
She just needs help.
This is my Avant-garde collection.
It's completely different from my earlier work.
I mean, this collection is inspired by my childhood memories.
My mother, my grandmother!
You will see influences of those images.
I don't know how it is going to be..
..accepted, but it is very special to me.
What's this? Made in Bangkok.
At least she should have taken off the label before the show.
She gets it from the lndra market in Bangkok..
and calls it her Avant-garde collection.
Some designer.
Darling, you are looking beautiful.
Look here..
Slowly, it hurts. - Sorry.
Salim, darling. I am the show stopper.
Come over for my make-up or should I stop the show?
Can you just finish it by yourself? - It is okay.
Thank you.
Yes, darling.
You look sad. -Not at all.
Would you like to go back?
No. Let's just do your make-up.
Please, show me. Show me.
Next.. next.
This? - Yes. Print this.
Okay. - Thank you, bye.
Okay, ma'am. No problem.
Chandu, why are you clicking a nobody?
Fool, do you know how big a socialite she is?
Socialite? Once upon a time she was a B-grade actress.
Today she is a self proclaimed socialite and designer.
Are you kidding me?
She is at every function - weddings, parties, awards..
She doesn't even spare baby showers.
Are you kidding me?
Baby shower?
Yes, even baby showers.
Delete her pictures. Terrible!
Oh hi! - How are you?
I am fine. What brings you here?
Well, I came to meet Leena. Networking, you know.
I got to know that it is your first show so..
I came to wish you luck. - Thanks.
All the best. - Thanks. Thank you. - And.. - Thanks.
Don't be nervous, you'll be just fine, okay?
Pooja.. isn't that Madhur Bhandarkar?
What's he doing with Rita?
He's probably doing his research.
He's making a movie on fashion.
He makes realistic films.
He won't even spare the world of fashion.
Now remember, I want a lot of drama.
Is that clear? - Look at the clothes. They are so dramatic.
No expression. I just want you to look straight, look strong..
..no smiles. Am I clear?
Binal, walk tall and beautiful.
Meghna. - Yes. - This is a huge show for you.
I want lots of attitude. Do you understand that?
Yes.. yes, ma'am. - And Shonali.. Shonali.
Yes, yes. I know, I am listening.
Alright. Great. Okay girls, let's go out there and kill them.
Are you ready? Come on. Let's go.
Okay girls, come on. Stand in a line.
Come on, we are ready to start the show. Come on.
Yes, okay. Okay, she is on. She is on.
Get out! - Go Shonali, go.
Please, go.
"l shall give up my life."
"Foryour love, I shall give up my life. "
"l shall give up my life. "
"For your love, I shall give up my life. "
"Your Kohl enchants me. "
"It's the time to fall in love. "
"l shall give up my life. "
"For your love, I shall give up my life. "
"l shall give up my life. "
"For your love, I shall give up my life. "
That was such an i m pressive show.
You were fantastic as always, Shonali.
Thank you so m uch.
Panache is extremely proud of you.
You are the face of Panache.
We'll have to extend your contract.
Oh, come on Abhi, stop discussing work.
Shonali, join us for a drink.
Come on.. - Yes, come on.
Come on, let's go. - Okay.
No. Really. Really.
Wasn't that amazing?
She just walked on. - Thank you.
And beyond looked at..
You were fantastic, fabulous. - Really?
Really. - Thank you. Thank you so much.
What grace.. what poise.. oh my God.
I was so nervous. Janet Sequeira!
Rahul Arora! - Oh my God.
How long it has been? - Six years.
Look at you.
How much weight have you lost since college?
I had to diet to become a model.
And dieting made me like this.
You and diet?
You know.. Rohit, right? - Yes.
You know.. when we were in college.. - Yes.
During college she used to carry a box of sugar candy.
Sugar! Calories!
We all used laugh at her.
Should I reveal your secrets?
Oh.. no secrets, okay? - Okay.
Besides I am very upset with you. - Why?
You are a model now and you didn't even bother to call.
Rahul, you know this business.
You are an A list designer and I'm a struggling B list model.
How could I call?
You know it is not like that with me, right? - Yes, I know..
Give me a call. - I will.
Okay, by the way meet my friend, Meghna.
Hi.. - Nice meeting you. - Rahul Arora.
Yes, of course. I've heard.. - You were great on the ramp.
Good confidence. Good presence. Right?
Thank you. Thank you so much. - I will. Bye. - Bye.
You know him? - Yes. - You never told us. - Well..
Hi Christine. - Hi, Christine.
Well done, Meghna.
Such good confidence in your first show..
..I'm really impressed. - Really?
I am sure, you'll go a long way. Bye.
Did you hear that Meghna darling? You will go a long way.
Very well done. Very well done.
I told you so. - lmagine.
After many trials and troubles I reached a place..
..where I could see my dream taking shape clearly.
But my journey ahead went through strange phases.
Old relationships though near seemed far away.
And new relationships started growing closer.
This restaurant is really posh, Meghna.
We are going to get a huge bill.
Just relax and order.
It's very.. - lts okay.
Hey Rahul! Hi! - Hi! - How are you?
How are you doing? - Very well.
Do you know, Meghna.. Manav.. - Hi.
Rohit.. - Hi.
Hi.. this is Ashish. - Hi. - Hi. - Nice meeting you.
Why don't you guys join us?
Yes, sure. Sure.
Sure. - Okay.
Excuse me. - Yes. - Two chairs, please.
Yes. - Sure, sir.
You haven't changed a bit. -Why do you say that?
I was just being polite and you actually joined us.
How rude. - I can't believe this.
You know, throughout college, I used to foot her canteen bills.
So I thoug ht it was payback time today.
To say.. - By the way..
Unfortunately, it's Meghna's treat.
Oh, I am sorry. - Yes, this is my treat.
Come on, let's order starters guys.
Hi.. - Hi.
Can I ask you something? -Sure
Do you have a brother or cousin who looks..
..just like you do.
Sorry, bad luck. - No.. - Oh no!
Listen, you do know that..
the venue for tomorrows rehearsal has changed, don't you? - Really?
It's Four Seasons now.
Anyways, thanks for telling me. - Oh no, not at all.
Bye. - Bye, take care.
Bye. - See you. Bye.
Santosh..
It's two in the morning, Meghna.
You've been coming in late every night.
You should be a little more responsible.
Even the neighbours are complaining.
This can't continue here.
I'm sorry, aunt, but my job keeps me..
I know what it keeps you at.
Divya brought this to show us from the neighbors.
What influence will it have on her?
Meghna, we can't let your career be..
..a negative influence on Divya.
I suggest you..
..Iook for alternate accommodation.
Santosh, it's so late in the night..
She doesn't need to leave immediately.
She can leave after a couple of days.
It's okay aunt..
I'll leave right away.
Janet. - Hi, how are you?
Hi.. sorry to call you so late. - What?
I'm on my way to Goa. Is everything all right?
Anything urgent, message me, darling.
No. Nothing at all.
Okay, yes. - Okay. Bye. - Bye. - See you.
I left home in a huff but I didn't know where to go.
Janet is in Goa and Rohit stays with his parents.
I don't know anyone else in Mumbai.
I'm really sorry but..
There is no need for an explanation.
I'm glad that you called.
It's only for tonight.
I'll look for another place tomorrow.
Meghna, this is Mumbai.
You may find God but not accommodation.
That too, a single woman..
..a model, no way.
Yes, there is one place though..
..where you can share an apartment.
Where? - Here.
Actually, I was looking for a room mate.
I don't have regular work..
..and the rent is too high.
So, if you don't mind. We can share this apartment.
But Manav, both of us..
..in the same apartment..
..won't it be awkward?
Come on Meghna, this isn't Chandigarh.
I mean, no one cares.
Rent, provisions.. we'll share the expenses.
We can share everything..
..but the bedrooms will be separate, right?
Of course! They will be separate, you can be sure of that.
Okay. - Okay.
Okay, great! Welcome home.
Anisha, I'm sorry I had to call you.
Where is Shonali?
The entire unit has been waiting for two hours..
..there is no sign of her.
This has become a habit.
Please, help me. Please do something now. - Oh no!
Tony, give me two minutes.
Shonali.. - She is in there.
Shonali.. come out of there.
Come out, right now!
What's your problem Anisha?
The entire unit has been waiting for two hours..
It's a big ad film shoot, for heaven sake.
And you are back to this awful habit.
You better buck up, Shonali.
This is the third complaint.
Our clients pay a lot of money for your time.
It's only because of my agency and my reputation..
..that's the reason you stand here today.
Ifyou don' take control of yourself..
..then there are several others who are eager to replace you. Got it?
Don't worry.. - Megha, Gauri..
If she misbehaves, call me up again.
"Temptation next"
"Temptation next "
No.. don't argue Koko. I know exactly..
..what's going to be good on you, okay? Trust me.
Vinay, isn't this a bit over the top?
I mean.. just look at this.
You are about to do Bobby Chopra's film in Europe.
And today everything is about looking glamorous. Okay? - Yes, but.
You guys do very realistic films and..
Yes, I mean, this is mainstream cinema and you have to look hot.
I am the only one who can make you look hot. Okay? Period.
I don't know, Vinay.
According to my character graph, I mean.. - Dear, no..
Ranveer, just help me. Just look.
Koko, the amount the producer is spending on your clothes..
exceeds the total budget of this film production.
So if you're done arguing, can we rehearse?
The entire unit has been waiting for two hours..
..and a lot of people work on daily wages.
Wages. - Okay, Vinay, whatever.
Come on, roll the camera.
Its fine, I surrender. - Baby, trust me. You'll rock.
Really? - You doubt Vinay Khosla? Come on, baby.
Come on, take it.
Hey Manav, whom are you paired with in Anamika's show?
I have been paired with Rajneesh.
Not anymore.
What do you mean?
Now your entry is along with me.
We open the show together now.
Really? But how come?
Because our choreographer believes..
..that we make a great pair.
And I agree.
"It's special. "
"It's an unusual feeling. "
"Some distance, closeness,,
..keeps my loneliness away. "
"ls it love?"
"ls it trust? Maybe it's love. "
"This is blossoms. This waiting.. "
"Maybe it's love. "
"It's special. "
"It's an unusual feeling. "
"Some distance, closeness,,
..keeps my loneliness away. "
"ls it love?"
"ls it trust? Maybe it's love. "
"This is blossoms. This waiting.. "
"Maybe it's love. "
"What to say?"
"Show your heart someone close to you, "
"l had a condition. "
"l feel I have won this lost round. "
"This is impatient waiting.. "
"Maybe it's love. "
"It's magic. "
"Maybe it's love. "
"Something is special, "
"It's an unusual feeling. "
"Maybe it's love. "
Just see.. - Let me read.
Forget what you are reading. Just look at that.
Please give me the phone. -No.
Give me the phone. - No way, please.
Forget your phone.
Oh hi, Anisha.
Where are you?
At home.
Sarin wants to see you immediately.
Right now?
No questions Meghna. Please go over right now.
Okay, I'll go. Bye.
Meghna, please come. - Oh.. come.
Anisha told me.. I had to rush.. to come to see you.. in the office.
I've brought my portfolio along. I also have it on CD.
Ifyou want to have a look.
There's no need for this.
Would you like to be a show stopper?
It's for Vinay Khosla.
The show is in four days.
You think you'll be able to do it?
Vinay Khosla? - Yes.
Oh my God, you mean 'The Vinay Khosla?' - That's right.
Yes, of course. Thank you.
For the first time,
I don't have a single Bollywood starlet in the front row. - So sad.
Half ofthem are doing shows and..
..the other half are abroad. - Oh what a pity?
What's happening with the new girl? Is she ready?
Just two minutes. - No, no. you go and check. Go. Go! - Okay.
I've got a very huge offer.
Ladies and gentlemen, kindly take your seat.
The show is about to begin.
Darling, you look gorgeous.
And you are biased.
No, no Meghna. It goes over.
But it looks so much cooler here.
She is an absolute new girl. And a show stopper?
And handsome looks. Handsome looks, okay? - Okay.
I just hope she is good. I just hope. - Okay.
I am so stressed. I am so stressed. This is not funny. - Relax.
Sarin's recommendation and all that.
Anyway, I'll just.. where is Rohit?
Just you know.. - Where is Rohit?
Meghna, you should.. because..
Meghna, I was telling you.. - Rohit.
Oh what the.. who the hell has done it like this?
It is supposed to go above the head, no?
Rohit.. - Yes.. - Duffer..
You know how particular I am.
Actually.. It's not his fault. I told him.
You?
I thought that if..
Hold it. You thought? Darling, you are a model.
You don't need to use your brains, okay?
Spare me the horror.
Fix the lousy thing, Rohit. - Yes, sir. - Yes, sir.
It's such an insignificant thing..
What did you say? An insignificant thing?
This is the show stopper outfit.
Do you understand that?
The media will be watching. All of them.
And even ifyou sell yourself,
you can't afford this dress. Alright?
And listen, I really don't care about..
..your relationship with Sarin.
I don't want supermodel nonsense.
My relationship with Sarin?
You have no right to say that. - Oh yeah? Really?
I don't have a right? In my show?
Do you even know, who I am?
Vinay Khosla.. and nobody talks to me like that.
Rohit, tell Christina I am replacing this girl right now.
Change the whole thing.
Send four girls in the end. Change the finale. I don't care.
And you! Out ofthis outfit and leave! Out!
But sir.. No.. no.. -What! - Nothing, sir.
Come on, now all of you get on with it.
Come on, back to work.
No wonder we models are treated like hangers.
Okay girls, listen. Quickly listen. There's been a change, alright?
I want the last four girls to end the sequence.
The last four girls being Geeta.. you right?
What about that young girl? - Don't know about her.
Thank you. Excuse me.
Sir, there is a problem backstage. I think you should come.
Okay. Excuse me.
What the hell. She has ruined the whole show.
What's the problem, Vinay? - She's arrogant.
Why don't you ask him?
Don't believe me, then.. - Alright. - Sarin..
Meghna!
Meghna, you still have those bangles.. We need them back..
I am sorry. I am sorry.
I am really sorry about this. - It's okay.
How could he think that l..
Calm down, Meghna.
People say stuff when they're angry.
You could've controlled yourself.
So it was my fault?
Do you even know what he said?
- Listen, I know it wasn't your fault.
Besides he is a veteran designer and you are new to modelling.
Does that mean he can say whatever he wants?
So what if he is a reputed designer?
I'm no average model either.
Come on, I know, Meghna.
You'll never understand.
Tell me Anisha..
..when is Shonali's contract up for renewal?
There is time yet.
Five months I think, why?
Terminate her contract.
Right now!
But Sarin, we can't do that.
Why not?
Panache is my company and I can do whatever I want.
But.. it's a contract.
I mean..
..it hasn't expired as yet.
Give Shonali full compensation..
..in fact give her a little more..
..so that there are no complaints.
But.. - No questions. Just do it.
But on what grounds?
Come on, Anisha. You are smart.
You'll think of something. I am sure.
I don't understand, why, Anisha? Why?
I warned you a couple of times earlier..
..but you didn't listen.
Three official complaints!
Ultimately professionalism counts.
Come on Anisha, I know this profession.
Three complaints and I am out?
It's not just that, Shonali.
Your lifestyle..
..your boyfriends..
..your addiction and misbehaviour at parties.
It's affecting the brands, especially Panache.
This was bound to happen someday.
Anyway.. I didn't want to be unfair.
The compensation is higher.
Ifthere is anything that
you want to add to the termination clause, go ahead.
Just one question.
Who has replaced me?
Meghna Mathur.
Good evening, ladies and gentlemen and my friends from the media.
This is the moment we've all been waiting for.
Allow me to introduce to you,
the sensational new face of Panache.. Meghna Mathur.
So glamorous. So nervous. - I know.
But he was so good.. - Excuse me.
I am going to take her away for a minute.
Yes, sure. Sure. - I'll just be back. - Yes, sure.
Hi. - I want to introduce you to..
Avantika.. - Yes. - Meet Meghna Mathur.
This is Avantika Sarin. - Oh hi.
Hello. Nice to meet you. - Lovely to meet you Meghna.
All the very best and welcome to Panache.
Thank you so much.
In no time my dreams turned into reality..
..and they reached the sky.
My new image as a super model everywhere..
..gave me a new high.
I felt like the whole world was interested in no one but me.
I got lost in myself.
Knowing what I wear.. what I eat.. what I think..
possibly made people think that they know me.
I too was lost in myself.
But l.. I just had one obsession.
What would be my next move to attain more success..
What's so different in the soup? - I have no idea.
On the salad.
Hey guys. - Hi. - I am really sorry.
Hi.. - Hi.
You are so late, baby. You knew this dinner was planned, right?
Yes, but the campaign is about to begin and you know how it is.
I am sorry guys, I'll be right back from the loo in five minutes.
There she goes.
Come, come. Sit, sit.
We'll be here.
Hi Shonali.
Congratulations.. for Panache.
Thanks, Shonali.
Look, I hope you understand, there's nothing personal.
I didn't knowthat, its going to.. - Don't worry.
Neither did l..
It's this industry..
..you never know when the designs are outdated.
No thanks. - Smart, but be careful.
You're still new.
Everything feels good in the beginning..
..the novelty eventually wears out.
I can see it in your eyes.
You will neither recognise yourself nor anyone else.
Be very careful.
Thanks Shonali, but I recognise..
Myself..
and others as well.
We'll see.
It's really taking.. - As I told you, Meghna, this is just the beginning.
Yes.. - See, how things go.
Hi, Mr. Sarin.. - Nice to meet you.
Our new face of Panache, Meghna Mathur.
Meghna, that is Manohar Grover. - Hello.
Hi. - Hello.
Meet Mr. Stevens. - Hello. - That's his beautiful wife.
Hello. - Hi. - Mrs. Chang, Meghna Mathur.
Pleased to meet you. - How are you doing?
That's Mr. Harper. - Hi. - Hello.
Nice to meet you. - He's a whiz kid.
Oh!
Cheers.
Alright, then.
Ifwe wait any longer..
I'll have to head to office from here only.
Let's go. - Yes. Come.
No, that's it. You can stop here.
Thank you. - You are welcome.
I'll get down.
Thank you, good night. - Good night, bye. - Bye.
Bye.
I know.. I know.
Even I know the time.
Meghna.. - Look Manav not now, I am really tired, okay?
Meghna, I was worried.
I tried calling you all night.
The phone was on silent and in the bag.
I don't know. Oh God, Manav..
You knew I was with Mr. Sarin at a party.
Listen, but you could have sent me a text message.
I would have if I could have. - You are right.
Meghna, this is the fourth time.
I am a model too. I know.
Exactly! You're a model too, so I thought you would understand..
but obviously not.
There were so many people at the party..
Sarin was introducing me to the media, so I was.. I couldn't.
And you forgot that someone's waiting for you..
Manav, these are really important people.
You won't understand the pressures.
Really? So make me. -How do l?
You aren't in that league. You are still struggling.
Meghna, I am really happy that you are in the big league.
But have you thought about the price you're paying for that?
A lecture at four in the morning!
I am lecturing you because not everybody can handle success.
Is that so?
Then tell me..
..why are those who preach about success..
..only those who haven't tasted it yet?
Because they don't run after it insanely.
And what if Mr. Sarin were promoting you?
Why would he?
He's promoting you, isn't he?
Who knows what he is getting in return..
I can't believe you just said that. How typical, Manav.
I don't know why, but I thought you were different.
I'd also thought the same about you.
"Something is special, It's close to me, "
"It's an unusual feeling. "
"This closeness has a distance. "
"There is loneliness in the air. "
"The love we have, the trust.. "
"Maybe it was love. "
"lt was blossom. "
