01x03 - Episode 3

[bunniefuu]

[theme music]

[upbeat music]

[in English]
Can we start the video call, Meet Cute,

with Sushi Sandy?

I was very excited about this video call.

[in Hindi]
Because the story was going further.

[Chiragg in English]
Let's see how this chapter unfolds.

"Quite the 'Madonna' aesthetic
that dress has."

Send.

[chimes]

"No worries. Even we'll use it
for strictly professional purposes."

Send.

[chimes]

Message… "Ohhh, you have no idea."

Wink… Send.

[line calling]

[chimes]

-Hi!
-Hi!

Nice to finally put a face

to a profile name.
[laughs]

Actually, my name is Chiragg.

Chiragg.

[in Hindi]
Yes, and Caesar is my dog's name.

Aww! Sweet!

[in English] What do I call you?

You can call my Syssi.

[in Hindi] My name is Syscila.

How've you been, Syssi?

I've been good!
It's so nice to finally see you!

I know, right?

[in Hindi] You've got a great accent.

[in English] Glad you like it.
[giggles]

It's very… It's so…

[in Hindi] Really refined of sorts.

[in English] So nice… So nice to hear.

Glad! Gratzi!
[chuckles]

I think much better looking in person

over a video call
than the pictures that I saw.

Do you, by any chance, secretly…

also have a Catwoman suit?

Okay.

So, not a Catwoman suit.

But I did, I think
for one of the Halloween parties in Dubai,

I did go with, like, tights

and a leotard and horns.

But I didn't intend to be Catwoman.

I just walked in there saying

I was the Devil's girlfriend,
you know, something like that.

I would love to invest in a Batman suit.

And we should go
to a Halloween bash together.

I like… I like the proposition.

Very, very interesting.

Nice! It's a plan.

[Ananya]
It was my first video call with them

and I've already seen their faces,

but they haven't seen mine,

which is kind of exciting
'cause they don't know how I look.

Hey, Meet Cute.

[clears throat]
Video call…

Junglee Gentleman.

[light romantic music]

Animal shelter…

[Ananya] Not dog shelter.

[chuckling]
Yeah! Exactly!

[line calling]

-Hello!
-Hi, what's up?

-Tokyo.
-Yes.

What's your real name by the way?

-Faisal Khan.
-Nice meeting you.

He kind of looked like a boy

and I don't know how old he was

but he was cute.

-What's your name?
-Ananya.

-I have so many questions.
-Please ask.

Firstly, why is your room yellow?

It goes with my personality.

-It's bright. It's…
-Okay.

It's colorful, full of life.

You know, we spoke so much though

on text,

and then I had this entire perception
of how you would be.

But I'll be honest,
you are cuter in person.

I mean, at least virtually.
[chuckles]

Thank you!

[upbeat music]

What was the image in your head?
Please explain…

So you spoke well, right? So I'm like…

That's what's important to me,
like, you know, if we clicked.

Attraction, however, to me, is like,

it also has to be, like,
a certain sense of physical attraction.

Like, after I look at you and be like,
"Wow, she's cute."

And you have to like… like, likewise…

And so, well, that happened today, so…

[both chuckle]

When was the last time you dated somebody?

A year ago or so.

Yeah, a year ago or so.

Before that, I was like, always, like,
in a relationship, like, in my life.

I just needed my own space
to do my own thing

and figure myself out.

I went on that trip for a bit.

And well, I guess here I am, on Meet Cute.

And I've "Met Cute."

[laughs]

Meet Cute, call Monae.

[Rohan in English] I've never met her.

[in Hindi]
We've never spoken on video call.

We had just had a chat.

[in English] "You look exactly

like my guitar…" Send.

"It is black, it has got

red spots on it."

"And trust me,
I make it scream quite often."

[chimes]

String called G.

I chose Monae
for the video call because, uh,

talking to her was fun.

The way I flirt and the way she flirts
is also similar

and it was not boring at all.

[line ringing]

[chimes]

Hi.

-[Rohan] How are you?
-I'm good. How are you?

What is happening?

I was just waiting for you.
Can you see me?

Yeah, I can. You look very pretty.

Thank you! You look super cute.

Thank you, so much! It means a lot.

[in Hindi]
I've a question. Last time we spoke…

[in English]
I said, "Okay, fine. Bye! Miss me!"

You said, "I'm already missing you."

-Uh-huh!
-Did you honestly miss me?

[in Hindi] I did miss you.

[in English]
I miss talking to you, I mean…

I think you were the naughtiest one,
to be very honest.

Yeah, you were, too.

I mean, I'm not really outgoing

and that kind of a person

who would just say naughty stuff
on the first chat itself.

But with you, I don't know,
somehow I connected more.

I really hope to meet you soon.
I mean, it'll be…

[in Hindi] …I think, very interesting.

[in English] You're like a package.

I mean, you know how to talk.

[in Hindi] You have a way with words…

[in English] …and you're very hot also
and you're pretty.

-Thank you!
-So yeah! That's very interesting.

I saw that you have a good sense of humour

which is something I find
the most attractive

in any man.

And I just felt, you know,
by chatting with you

that you're like a complete package.

You play guitar, you are a rockstar,
you have a rocking body…

Everything is there in the box.

I think I'm… I don't know how to…

respond to that. It's like very…

I'm a very shy person, otherwise.
I'm very, you know…

When I get compliments,
I don't know how to react.

[chuckles]

Please make a video call

to Loverboy 365.

Show his pictures.

♪ Sexy! ♪

[in Hindi] He does look good.

[Sakshi] Now I'll make a video call.

We often edit a lot in pictures.

So video call gives you

a clear understanding
of how a person looks.

[line ringing]

[chimes]

-[in English] Hello!
-Hello!

-Hi!
-Hi!

I'm so sorry to keep you waiting.
[chuckles]

How are you?

Someone's looking super pretty.

-I'm good. I'm good.
-Thank you! Thank you!

-What's your name?
-My name is Pratham.

[in Hindi] I wanted to see him all over.

I could only see this far.

[in English] But… He was cute.

[in Hindi] So what were you doing so far?

[in English]
So yeah, I've been thinking about you.

If I actually ate a chocolate
for every time I thought about you,

I'd be so fat right now.

Okay.
[chuckles]

So what was there in your mind?

[in Hindi] I mean, before we spoke

what were you imagining

about how I'd be?
[laughs]

-Sorry…
-[in English] The thing is that

I had no clue how you look like.

-But I was definitely excited…
-So is it better?

Obviously, it is much better
than my expectations.

[in Hindi] You had asked me…

[in English] …what if I'm not beautiful,
and you know,

-all those dodgy questions.
-[both laugh]

-Yeah. Yeah.
-No. You are definitely…

-very pretty…
-Thank you, thank you so much!

I am excited to meet you.

[light music]

Actually waiting to meet you,
in person, I mean.

Nice talking to you. I'll see you soon.

-You take care.
-Bye!

♪ Look
Tonight all the stars are twinkling ♪

With that, I shall take your leave, Syssi.

-See you.
-[Chiragg mutters]

I'm sure we're gonna meet soon and…

I don't know.
And hopefully, we can go for a drive.

For sure.

I would love to see you in person,
of course.

Definitely.

[in Hindi]
On one hand, I like a person.

Everything about him is good.

I could not see any flaws.

On the other hand,

I'm also liking the one I'm talking to.

I see no flaws in him, either.

But after meeting…

[in English] …what if… what if…

[in Hindi] I end up liking that one?

If I like this one, too,

what happens then?

♪ Look, how tonight ♪

♪ All of them ♪

[Dhruv in English]
Good job, guys! Good job!

Let's see, like, some nice reps. Let's go.

Did you guys go on dates

-last night? Yesterday?
-Probably yes.

-Yep.
-[Sakshi S] Yeah, both of them did.

Both of you went, right? Yeah,
I met you in the car. I said hi, yeah.

You guys… you had fun yesterday, though?

Yeah. Where was your date?

I went to Dilli Haat.

I went to the gym.

-That's crazy, man.
-[Sahib] Wow!

-I saw a puppet show.
-Oh! Okay.

Why don't you call them here?

[Dhruv]
At some point, we can all hang out, right?

I hope so.

I'm gonna go in.
I'm gonna get tanned as f*ck.

Okay, see you guys.

[in Hindi] I and Sahib had
wide smiles on our faces…

[in English] …thinking about

the beautiful date that we just had.

[in Hindi] So again, in the morning,
we were hanging out and chilling

and we suddenly got
a notification on the TV.

-[TV chimes]
-[chuckles]

[chimes]

[Vidushi in English]
Who wants to go on a date today?

-Me!
-Of course, me. I'm left.

[chimes]

-That's Chiragg and me.
-Oh! See! Your pictures!

-From yesterday! It's so nice!
-See, I look fat.

-No you don't look fat.
-Okay. It's fine.

[chuckles]
That's not…

-You look cool!
-Oh, this is so cute!

-[Ashita] Yeah!
-[Jagriti] So adorable!

[Sakshi S] In my opinion,
Ashita was feeling very insecure.

[in English] She was like,
"Probably Chiragg is more into Vidushi."

[chimes]

-Oh!
-Okay, brother. Okay, brother…

-Oh!
-Okay, brother… Okay, okay.

-[laughter]
-[Dhruv] When is the wedding?

This is like…
this is a wedding picture, man.

-[Dhruv] This is a wedding picture.
-[Yatin] Pre-wedding.

Dude, this is the place! So f*cking good!

-[Virendra in Hindi] ♪ When I saw you… ♪
-[Yatin] Oh, wow!

[in English] Bro, these are actually like

-really good pictures, man.
-[Yatin] Really good.

[Virendra in Hindi]
Looked like he enjoyed a lot.

I mean, he must've felt so good.

[in English] You guys look like
you've been married,

-like at least, couple of years.
-[laughter]

-[chimes]
-[all exclaiming]

-Okay! Oh, my God, man!
-Look at the kitchen, guys.

-This guy, huh! This guy!
-[laughs]

[Yatin in Hindi] His face looks red here.

No wonder… No wonder
he's been f*cking smiling after 6:00 p.m.

-Obviously.
-My God!

[Virendra in Hindi] The strange part was,
I wasn't feeling at all

that I'd missed out something,

and I was at a loss.

I knew that no matter what

she will be mine if she's meant to be.

[in Hindi]
I did not expect them to show it.

[Yatin in English]
Bro, but the photos are so lovely, man.

If… I hope they show

-the picture that guy drew of me.
-[TV chimes]

-Whoa! Oh, yeah!
-Okay, brother, okay!

-[Yatin] Oh, my God!
-[Dhruv laughs]

[in Hindi]
Looking like an Israeli drug peddler.

[laughter]

[in Hindi] I was so glad
because I don't look so good in real life.

I looked better in the photos,
but we also looked good together.

[chimes]

-People are watching you, man.
-Oh, people are… All are behind, huh?

-She's having Chhole Bhature, right?
-Yeah.

f*ck, you ate
some good f*cking food, guys.

Love it.

-[all exclaim]
-Oh, my God!

[Sakshi S] Wow! Jagirit, that's so hot!

-Look at both of them.
-Yeah, your dress looks just perfect.

I knew it. I knew it was gonna look good.

[Sakshi S]
So the first time I saw the pictures,

It was a little jealousy, obviously.

You can say…

insecurity.

[chimes]

[all] Wow!

-So flowing, so nice.
-[Vidushi] Yeah.

Yeah, it's nice.
[chuckles]

[Vidushi] And Rohan looks like
he's actually, like…

-So much into you.
-[all exclaiming]

[all giggling, muttering]

Please don't!

-Guys, wow!
-Wow, guys!

[Sakshi S in Hindi] I was like…

…this was a different level of closeness.

[in English] I know. But we were doing
so good, right? We were k*lling it.

-We were so good.
-Is he a professional or something?

[all] Wow!

You look so beautiful.

-[Sakshi S] Yeah.
-[Ashita] So beautiful.

[in Hindi] I felt like he loves everyone.

He romances everyone.

It's nothing special with me I guess.

He's distributing himself equally.

[TV chimes]

"…to strengthen a connection
is by focusing on each other?"

Okay, yes. We are doing it.

[Virendra in Hindi]
We're hyper-focused in fact.

[chuckles]
Among ourselves.

[laughter]

[chimes]

[all in English]
"Those who have yet to go out, get ready."

-"Your chariot awaits."
-All right, brothers!

Your time is now. Congratulations!

That means us, right?

-Yeah, that's you two.
-Obviously we both…

-Is there an actual chariot or something?
-I wish.

-[laughs]
-Wow! Okay.

Oh, my God! That's gonna be funny.

[in Hindi] I was like, finally…

[in English]
Finally, I get to go out with him,

you know, I get to know him more.

♪ I didn't see ♪

♪ The world ain't just blue ♪

♪ 'Cause I only dream ♪

♪ In color with you ♪

♪ Straight out of my dreams ♪

♪ You are my journey ♪

♪ Beauty in all the flaws but… ♪

I'm so happy.

-[Ananya] What's going on your mind?
-[in Hindi] Let me get it all out first!

-[in English] Hi!
-You look great tonight.

You look like the belle of the ball!

-Thank you so much!
-As always!

-My lady.
-[chuckles]

-Very, very happy birthday!
-Thank you so much!

I'm glad that I'm spending
my birthday with you.

[Sakshi S chuckles]

Here is the cake! Wow!
So we're going to cut it.

-Cool.
-[Sakshi S] Before that, uh…

So I wrote something.

I'm not someone who writes.

-So I read this book first.
-Which book?

Uh, 40 rules of love.

-Okay.
-Yeah. And then, I wrote something.

But I don't know if you'll like it or not.

I mean, you wrote… I like the fact

-that you've written something.
-[giggles]

"Dear Rohan…

a man with the quiet manner,

a generous heart,

and the patience of a saint.

The more I get to know you

-the more I admire you for what you are."
-[glasses clinking]

[Sakshi S] "The first time I saw you,

I felt the need to know you more."

[whispers]
It's okay, just leave it.

Yeah, I'm listening.

[in normal voice]
"The second time I met you,

there was a vibe."

"The third time I met you,

there was this feeling of…

jealousy and excitement.

Maybe because…

-I get it.
-…I like you."

Aw, I get it.

"A very happy birthday to you."

It's the most beautiful thing
somebody's ever written for me.

Thank you so much!

I always wanted to go to Paris…

-Okay.
-…with a partner.

And I had always imagined…

[in Hindi] …that I'd have a boyfriend

who will propose to me there
and I'll be wearing red.

And it wasn't happening so I thought…

[in English] "Why am I waiting for someone

to validate my life?"

So I went alone.

-I bought a beautiful red dress.
-Mm-hm.

[in Hindi] And while on the way there,

I was just wondering…

[in English]
…is this sad, or is this happy?

[in Hindi] And when I saw the Eiffel Tower

and when its lights came on…

[in English] …that was the most magical
and beautiful moment of my life

and I was standing alone and…

-Wow!
-What did you feel after that?

I felt

[in Hindi] I do not need
someone else to fulfill my wishes.

[in English] To self-sufficiency.

Cheers!
[chuckles]

You never, like,
found any guy where you stay?

-Like, where you live?
-I did.

-I have been with a few people.
-Okay, okay.

[in Hindi]
What happens is after three months…

-[in English] That excitement… Okay.
-They don't want me anymore.

[Ananya] That's it. I don't know.
They go on their different path.

So maybe I don't even know

if they really wanted it
in the first place.

Or they were just playing with me
or my feelings?

And I've been hurt a lot.

It's not like one or two times.
It's so many times

in the past five years.

-[in Hindi] Which fools were you dating?
-[laughs]

You should have come to Delhi earlier.

What was even I done for six years?
I was idle.

-I was doing nothing.
-[chuckling]

We were sharing talks
and trying to recall some good memories.

We had a lovely moment on the pool.

I reminded her of that.

[in English]
Were you in your senses at the pool?

Yeah, you were like, "Yes!"

[in English] "Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!"

-You were like, "Are you okay?"
-I almost…

-Almost instinctively…
-Hmm.

I came closer and gave you

a small peck on your neck.
Do you remember?

You don't remember that?
[chuckles softly]

-What did you do?
-You don't remember, right?

No! What are you talking?

And I got the shock of my life.

I was kind of a little drunk,
and I just put your hair aside

-and I just gave you a very gentle…
-[Sakshi] No! I swear!

-[in Hindi] You really don't?
-[in English] I have no idea.

-What are you talking about?
-[in English] I swear on my mom!

Oh, please!
[chuckles awkwardly]

[in Hindi] I don't even know this.

Had I known, I would never

-allow you to do that.
-But I…

[quirky suspenseful music]

[in Hindi] Well, literally…

[in English] …I was taken aback.

[Yatin in Hindi]
We arrived in a Mercedes for our date.

So obviously you'd think that maybe
it's a five-star hotel or something.

[light music]

[Ananya in English]
There was this very cute rickshaw there.

It is called e-rickshaw.

The moment I saw it, I was so excited

to get on it and have a…
you know, a drive around.

[upbeat music]

[Sakshi S in Hindi] We went to Old Delhi.

There's a place called
"Paranthe Wali Gali."

[in English]
This was so different and I loved it!

I love Old Delhi.

That place feels like India, you know.

[in Hindi]
What's better than this? There was food.

[upbeat music continues]

[in English] I love this place!

[Sakshi S in Hindi]
What's on the menu, mister?

[in Hindi] Potatoes, cauliflower, lentils,
radish, green peas

Paneer, Papad, tomato, Rabri…

-cashew nut, bitter gourd, lemon, pudina…
-[chuckles]

…fenugreek, cheese, jaggery…

-Which stuffing would you like?
-[chuckles]

We're even more confused now.

[chuckles]

-I think I better read it out.
-Yes, exactly.

[chuckles]

-[Yatin in English] Which one do you want?
-[in Hindi] Just one is enough for me.

Let's see.

[in English]
But you're going to love this.

[in Hindi] I'm having Parathas
after a long time.

I don't even remember when I last ate it.

I'd never imagined I'd come here at night

and have Parathas on a date! This is…

My dream date is fulfilled!
If there were an ideal date…

[in English] …this is my f*cking
ideal date, man! Loving it!

-[upbeat music]
-[sizzling]

-[waiter] Aloo Paratha.
-Yay!

Try it. I want to see
your reaction. Have it.

[relaxing music]

Yummy!

I couldn't decide if it was a pizza

if it was a pasta, or if it was a Paratha.

Like, it was like, a mix of all.

[in Hindi] I got the feeling
of the Bollywoood movie 2 States.

[relaxing music continues]

Yummy, right?

♪ I feel, I feel it all ♪

♪ I feel it all ♪

♪ I feel like fallin' in love ♪

♪ Fallin' in love ♪

♪ Fallin' in love ♪

Should we start? Bon Appétit.

Not a fan of bananas.

But I like this one.
[laughs]

-That's what she said!
-That's what she said.

-That's what she said.
-[laughs]

[sizzling]

[in Hindi] What's the point of life
without good food?

[in English]
It is a necessity for the soul.

[in Hindi]
How else would creative juices flow?

-No juices will flow.
-No juices will flow. Exactly!

[in English] My flirting with Chiragg
just comes so natural.

[Chiragg in English] I'm a non-vegetarian,
but Paneer is my weakness.

Mm-hm. I wish I was Paneer.

[laughing]

I'm so satisfied.

Are you now?

Is it too early?

[laughter]

[in Hindi] He thinks I'm very flirtatious.

But I barely make an effort.

It happens on its own.

[in English]
Genuinely, it happens though.

When you walked in on the speed date

and you have those big eyes and I'm like…

[in Hindi] …okay, what's happening.
We just met. We hardly spoke.

[in English] It's not just the eyes.

[laughter]

I noticed.

[laughter continues]

-[jazz music]
-[sizzling]

-[in Hindi] Is this Paratha, right?
-[in English] Looks like a Samosa.

-[in Hindi] Let's share it half.
-[in English] Looks also…

-[in Hindi] Your choice is really good.
-Right?

[chuckles softly]

[upbeat music]

[in English] Can't do this.

-I love it.
-God!

[in Hindi] Okay, let's not judge
each other and just eat heartily.

-Okay?
-I don't judge people.

So what even if you do?

I totally forgot about my fitness.

For a few seconds, I even forgot Rohan
when I was gorging on Parathas.

I was like, "Hold it, dear.

Let me finish the Parathas."

[upbeat music continues]

[in English] This was tasty

and filling.

My God!

[in Hindi] I'm not looking fat, am I?

Maybe tomorrow you will.

You know what?
I was slightly disappointed.

-When?
-In the car.

When I told you…

[in English] …that I gently kissed you
on your neck,

and you didn't even remember that,
I thought…

Because that was something
really special on my end

because I did it in a very special way.

When I'm actually drunk even a little…

-[in Hindi] Even a little…
-Mm.

-[in English] I'm a different person.
-Trust me.

You were there. You were there.

And you were there.

-And I mean it… Okay. It's fine…
-Listen, just stop.

-I have no memory…
-I know it now.

[in Hindi] I don't remember at all.

Is she joking or something? She better be.

[in English] Because it's not funny.

I'm the last person
who would take advantage of a girl.

You didn't. Who said?

[in Hindi]
I'm not shocked that you did something.

[in English]
I'm like, what the f*ck! How can…

How come I don't remember this?

[in Hindi] At this point our connection…

[in English]
It was hanging by a thread, I think.

-Let's just finish and let's go.
-Yeah. Yeah.

[in Hindi]
After this dinner date with Virendra,

my vibes with him have turned off.

[Rohan] You focus on the other guys.

-I can't.
-I'll handle this.

-I just can't.
-[in English] My first focus is on you.

-Really? Okay.
-Oh! He's happy now.

[laughter]

[in Hindi]
He's like, "Forget the connection."

-[Rohan] No…
-"Let's go talk upstairs."

[in English] There's always a right time
for everything.

[TV chimes]

-Video call time!
-"Call your second online connection."

"Call your second online connection.

See them for the first time."

I'm very glad
that I have another online options

which I'm gonna explore for sure.

So now I have two online connections
and two offline connections

and this is actually my fourth connection.

So I'm really looking forward
to these conversations

and getting to know all of them.

[line ringing]

[chimes]

Oh, hi!

I have no idea when I'm gonna perform next

because, I mean, I'm not even
with my band anymore.

Now I feel like talking about…

the sh*t that happened.

I broke up with my band,

and then I started playing
with senior bands.

But those senior bands are not my own.

-Hi! How are you?
-I'm good! How are you?

Good to see you. I mean…

-I wasn't expecting this…
-I know, right.

-…today. It was really nice.
-I've been waiting for this day.

Oh, you've been waiting for today?

That means a lot to me.
I've been waiting for this day.

[chuckles]

You've got a really nice smile.
You look fantastic right now.

Thank you. So are you, looking…

-Thank you so much.
-I mean, I like the hair a lot.

I'm glad you like it.

So how is it going on for you?

I don't know how to explain. It's like…

A bag full of mixed emotions. I mean…

I mean, you said that you are
a shy person, right?

I am.

Yeah, and you opened up to me so that's a…

I mean, quite a big thing.

I'm glad that you shared it.

[in Hindi] It happens to me very rarely.

[in English] I don't open up easily.

[light music]

-What is your name?
-Shimona.

What does it mean?

It means "God who listens."

That is beautiful.

[chuckles]

I think, I really like talking to you.

I don't get comfortable
talking to everybody.

Like, you don't open up, probably,

-with everybody.
- Yeah.

I don't gel with… I don't gel that easily.

I take time to open up and then vibe.

So, uh…

I think our time is up,

but I really hope to see you soon.

[Rohan] Well, I felt some sort
of connection talking to her.

[in Hindi] And it felt really good.

[Ananya] Make a video call to Veg Punjabi.

[grunts]

Message.

"Then you need a person like me
to take you out."

Send.

[chimes]

"Maybe you can go to Tokyo with Tokyo."

[chimes]

[chuckles]

[line ringing]

[chimes]

-Hi!
-Hello there!

-How are you?
-I'm doing great.

-How about you? How's it going?
-I'm doing good. I'm doing good.

Okay, hi, I'm Shivam.

-You only know my…
-[laughing]

-Veg Punjabi.
-Oh, yeah.

Veg Punjabi…
That's how I know you actually.

-So, hi! This is Ananya.
-Hi, Ananya!

-Really colorful surroundings!
-Yeah!

I see you're blending up
with the background there.

Yeah!
[chuckles]

I love it.
[chuckles]

I feel like you're giving me competition
with your hairstyle.

I like it.

-[in Hindi] Isn't it?
-[laughter]

-[in English] Oh, God!
-But don't worry.

People say I look better in short hair.

They say you look better in short hair?

[in Hindi] But I love my long tresses.

I won't cut them.

[laughs]

[in English]
I felt Shivam was a very lively person.

I mean, he's really fun…

He's… you know, makes you laugh

and we had a good conversation
going on there.

Also because… Okay, I'm just like…

The entire conversation is becoming
about me which I don't want…

[in English]
No, I like it. I'd like to know you, man.

-What is your hometown?
-Chennai. I moved to Chennai for dance.

For Bharatanatyam.

Now, I can recall
that you're really passionate about dance

and you love tattoos, right?

Yes, I have 15 of them.

[in Hindi]
Why? What happened in your life?

-[Shivam laughing]
-[Ananya squeals]

-Sorry.
-[in English] Careful!

[in Hindi] Are you falling for me already?

[laughter]

Meet Cute, call Striker.

[line ringing]

[chimes]

-HI!
-Hi! How are you?

I'm good, I'm good. How are you?

You look beautiful.

Thank you! Thank you so much!

This is Manandeep Singh.

Okay. You're from Delhi, right?

I'm from India, I would say.

-Because I've been everywhere of India.
-Okay.

Used to play for India.

-I was a professional football player.
-Yeah.

Very nice!

I'm a bit poetic. I'm a…

A bit old-school.

-Same. I'm also a bit old-school.
-Wow!

[in Hindi] Then we'll get along well.

[chuckles softly]
I still believe in, um…

hand written letters…

If we connect well,
I would love to write you a letter.

-And also, postcards.
-Thank you!

-Do you like postcards?
-No.

[laughs]
Like, I never had any, but yeah.

You'll be getting soon.

I promise you that.

[Sakshi in Hindi]
Online dating has its own different feel

and so does offline dating.

Both are fun and feel very good.

But for now,

where does my story go from here
and with whom, I have no idea.

[in English]
How long have you been single?

How long have I been single?

And what made you want to come to this?

[in Hindi] It happened way back in 1977…
[laughs]

When last…
[laughs]

When I felt human touch for the last time…

Just kidding!

[in English]
I think it's been nearly four years.

-Three years. Three years. Honestly.
-Okay.

-What about you?
-I've been in, uh…

three serious relationships
at least from my side.

[in Hindi] I don't know about them.

[in English]
After that I've been liking people,

but they don't like me back, so…

[in Hindi]
Why? What do you do to them, madam?

[laughter]

[Ananya in English] I don't know
if he looked nervous, or what that was.

I think we both laughed a lot.

I will talk to you soon. Right now…

-All right.
-I have to go.

[in Punjabi] You're leaving?

All right, be happy wherever you are.
We'll meet again.

See you soon.
[laughs]

[in English] Have fun.
It was nice talking to you. Bye!

[chuckling]
Bye!

Hello, Meet Cute! Please…

put in a video call to Brunette Babe.

Message…

[in Hindi]
"As long as food is cooked with love,

it's comfort food for me."

[in English] Send.

-[chimes]
-[light romantic music]

Aha! Thanos reference!

Message. "Sniff! Sniff!

Do I sense a Marvel fan here?"

Send.

[chimes]

Houston, we have lift-off!

[line ringing]

[chimes]

-Hey, gorgeous!
-[Sifat chuckles]

-Hi! You look quite good.
-How've you been?

-I look quite…
-So what's going on?

I wish I had dressed
just a little more better. I'm just…

I feel I'm dressed too casual.

[laughs]

By the way, I don't know if you can see
all of my room

but there's a boxing bag right here.

-And then, there are tons of books here.
-Oh, there is?

Yeah, and there's a cycle here as well.

But you can't see it, of course.

So this is your space?
This is what you do?

If I were a room…

-[in Hindi] …this is how I would be.
-[in English] I like it.

I don't mind sharing it.

[both laugh]

[in Hindi] After seeing Brunette Babe
for the first time on video I felt…

[in English]
…she's very, very, very pretty.

-What is your name?
-It's Chiragg.

[Chiragg] But then I actually started
blushing for God knows what reason.

She was just looking at me
and I was like, "Oh, sh*t!"

[groans softly]

"Okay! Eye contact.
Chiragg, eye contact. I'm like, okay!"

I have to tell this to you.
You're really pretty.

Thank you, and I love your hair.

Like, I love them!
[chuckles]

[in Hindi] You didn't even ask my name.

[in English] Yes! Brunette Babe…

-what is your name?
-Sifat.

Sifat! That's a pretty name, Sifat.

-Thank you!
-[in Hindi] Really beautiful.

[Sifat chuckles]

[in English]
I've just, like, spoken to you online. So…

Yeah! Like,

I've had video calls with my friends,

-but this is the first time…
-[in Hindi] Doesn't happen first time!

[laughs]

[in English] But I'm enjoying it.

[in Hindi]
So I don't have many complaints.

[laughs]

[in English] You have a cute smile.

Thank you!

[in Hindi] Now I'll get conscious…

[in English] …that I'm just like,
smiling too much now.

[in Hindi] Keep smiling. It looks good.

[in Hindi]
It was really nice talking to you.

Same here.

-[in English] Okay.
-Take care, love.

-[Sifat mutters]
-[smooches]

Bye!

[TV chimes]

[upbeat music]

[chimes]

[all exclaiming]

-Oh, my God, they look so good.
-[Vidushi] Sakshi is damn hot.

[chimes]

-[Ashita chuckles]
-[Vidushi exclaims]

[in Hindi] Rohan smiles too!

[Jagriti in English] Rohan looked
really happy in those pictures.

[in Hindi] I was looking only at him.

[in English]
I wasn't really noticing Sakshi that much.

But I was okay, I was okay…

But it was his birthday,
so I wanted to be there.

[chimes]

[all exclaim]

-Oh!
-So cute! So cute.

I'm so excited right now.

[chimes]

-[Virendra] Okay.
-[Sahib] Oh, yes!

[in Hindi] Good boy!

Great! So nice, pal!

-[Yatin] I couldn't recognize myself.
-[in English] So nice, so nice, so nice.

[chimes]

-[all] Oh!
-[Virendra in English] Oh, my God!

-Thanks, man!
-I loved this place!

I'm so happy to see you
treating my date so well.

[in Hindi] Tell him, "You took
good care of your sister-in-law."

Yes, you took good care
of your sister-in-law.

[in English] Very good! Very good!

[chimes]

-[all] Oh!
-There we go! There we go!

-Okay.
-Now we're talking.

-Bro, you look really good, by the way.
-[Sahib] Exactly!

[Dhruv in Hindi]
She doesn't look unwell, don't worry.

-You look unwell, though.
-[laughter]

-I felt unwell looking at her!
-[laughter continues]

-[in English] Seriously!
-[Sahib] Oh!

[Dhruv in Hindi] You look tense here, pal.

I was tense.

[in English] It was like…

[in Hindi]
He's like I can't find medicines,

-what should I do?
-Yeah, right!

-[in English] This is so adorable.
-Oh, yeah! That's so cute.

[chimes]

[all exclaiming]

-Oh, my God!
-Ooh! Stunner!

Dude, okay. Ashita… Yeah.

He should've tucked his shirt in.

[Vidushi] Oh, my God!

[in Hindi] So much love.

Yes, there's a lot of love.
[laughs]

-[Ashita] This was the car.
-[Vidushi] You guys went in a Range Rover.

[in Hindi]
This is cheating. It's my favorite car.

And they took you! But it's okay.

I don't mind.

I'll be honest.
I felt something. It's okay.

[women laughing]

[in English]
All of us just chilling around

and you know,
having some good time in the living area

and we get another notification.

[chimes]

[Chiragg] "Decision time!
Select your final online connection.

Who do you feel most connected to?"

-All right, all right, all right…
-[Sakshi in Hindi] Oh, man!

But we should've met in person.

[chimes]

[in English] "You can video call
our other online connection

to break it off or ghost them. Your call."

Yeah, I don't think I'm ready to decide.

[in Hindi] Hold on.

[in English] We have to call
the other one, right?

-To tell them we're not interested.
-[Ananya] Yeah.

Or you can ghost them as well
by not calling them.

-[Ananya] Don't tell.
-Ah, so just ghost them?

Oh sh*t, man! They're waiting for us.

And the other is so sweet!

And the point is I told both
I'll meet them.

[splutters]
I did the same.

[laughs]

[in Hindi] And I was petrified.

Because I cannot say it to anyone
even in real life.

[in English] So you're ghosting?
Or are you calling?

I need to think.

So, I'll just tell her
I got really friendly vibes.

[Chiragg] I think we'll get along
as friends really well.

[in Hindi]
No one will copy this excuse, okay?

Deal with your own break ups.

-Okay.
-[Rohan in Hindi] Every person has layers.

I don't think that I saw all the layers
of the two girls I spoke to.

So we have to ghost someone
only on video call.

It's possible I reject the second one
and the first one's better.

It's a 50 percent chance.

-Maybe we're making a mistake.
-[in English] My body is shivering.

[in Hindi] In real life, you start
ignoring and it happens eventually.

Here, it is all to the point.

Here, you've to call them up
and break their heart.

[in English] Or ghost them.

-Your call.
-[Rohan in Hindi] Ghosting, I can't do.

[in English]
So you will break their heart.

They just won't know
when has their heart been broken.

What the hell! Out of the blue,
you've just video called them,

and suddenly you need to tell them
that, you know,

this is not working out.

Video call, Junglee Gentleman.

[tense music]

-[line ringing]
-[chimes]

-Hello!
-Hi! What's up?

-How are you?
-I'm good. I'm good.

-By the way, it's my birthday today.
-[gasps]

[Chiragg]
I mean, we could be great friends.

I think we would make great friends, but…

[in Hindi] I didn't get that feeling. I…

[breathing heavily]

[in English] My hands are cold.

[tense music continues]

[breathing heavily]

[muttering]

[Rohan in Hindi]
I was confused. I didn't know…

One video call isn't enough
to get to know someone.

[in English] And I didn't want to make
the wrong choice.

I think I'll go for Monae.

She's… she's not like me.

But she's also a little like me.
She's also…

[in Hindi] It's fun talking to her.
She's interesting.

Makuna Hatata is also interesting
but she's just like me.

[in English] She's also shy.

I mean, to be very honest,
I like them both.

And I'm just going with my gut.

I'll choose Monae.

Meet Cute, please call Makuna Hatata.

[line ringing]

[chimes]

Hi! How are you?

-I'm good. How are you?
-Great.

You look really nice.

Thank you! I like your shirt.

And your hair, again.

[Rohan] She smiled.

And in that moment, I realized
that I was doing something wrong.

[Rohan] I'll call you back.

[chimes]

[tense music]

[gate creaks open]

[Chiragg in Hindi] A storm is approaching.

We could hear its rumbling.

[mysterious music]

[inaudible]

What did you tell them
about how you know them?

The question hasn't arisen yet.

But it will arise…

-Then what do I say?
-and I'll drown myself in this glass.

What else can I say?

I think I need some Vitamin C.

[flirty music]
