01x01 - The Golden Girl Messes Up

[bunniefuu]

Aggy!

Where will I go at this hour, Aggy?

Please, I'm sorry. I'll make it okay.

Seriously?

This cannot be happening.

This is just a bad dream.

My husband couldn't

possibly have kicked me out.

In the middle of the night!

Who am I kidding?

This is as real as it gets.

You know, five minutes back, I had seven

luxury cars, a chopper, and a private jet.

And now, I've become the poster girl

for "Desperate Housewives of South Delhi".

The number you have

dialed is currently busy.

Please try later.

Forget my husband, even

my brother isn't picking up my calls.

This wasn't my plan.

But then, the only plan I've ever

been "allowed" to make is a diet plan.

Let me explain.

I was born with a golden spoon.

Thank God.

All I ever wanted was

a good-looking family.

This is my Grandma.

My dad And, oh, that's my mom.

-Hi.

-Gayatri.

Let's call her Bella.

-It's Spanish, Italian, Greek, and Latin

-Right.

-For beautiful.

-Yeah.

-She is.

-Hi, Bella.

Bella is just for my parents,

the paparazzi, and the trolls.

I prefer it when people call me "Bae".

Hey, Bae!

Hey, Bae!

Hey, Bae!

Wherever you walk by

You light up the world

With your words

With your eyes

You light up every path

The world awaits you

Where have you been all this while?

Hey, Bae!

The way you slay

The way you are

The way you talk

Hey, Bae!

Deep in your eyes

Lies your dreams

It's gonna be your day

The world awaits you

Hey, Bae!

Hey, Bae!

This is my happy family! And that's me

on my second birthday.

Confession.

There's no such thing as

"too much bling" in my family.

In fact, our family's group chat

is called House of Gucci.

Four generations ago when we

came to Delhi from Rajasthan,

we were among the richest families here.

As each generation passed, disputes

grew, and with them, the wealth shrunk.

-Raza belongs to me.

-No, he is mine.

-He's mine.

-Just leave it, he's mine.

Mom did a film as the heroine.

Dad watched it, fell in love, and within

months

Mom left everything and became

Dad's beautiful second wife.

After all, she had to give

him his good-looking heir.

Not me.

My older brother.

Samar.

Boys will be boys.

Son, you should focus

on improving your aim.

Alright!

Yes!

Samar Bhai had Dad.

-And I had my

-Good looks.

Good looks.

And good looks.

Regardless, Samar Bhai

and I are the closest.

He has always been by my side.

We both loved horse riding.

As we grew up, Samar

got his riding helmet.

-And I got

-Bella.

But, Mom.

Horse riding will

make you bowlegged.

See!

So pretty.

Mom pulled me out of horse racing

and got me into the race to get married.

Eyes on the prize, Bella.

Agastya Chowdhary.

He is Dhanraj Chowdhary's only son.

He is going to Princeton.

And that's how

Project Agastya began.

A series of courses that would

make me the perfect trophy wife.

I don't know if I managed

to become perfect, but I tried.

Flower arrangements.

I did it even though

I had a pollen allergy.

At least I knew the difference

between flower and flour!

How to pair red wine

and blue cheese?

Your mama so ugly,

she makes blind kids cry.

Quick woke jokes

for dinner parties.

They were woke

enough to be half asleep.

Then came my debut.

Not in a film, but in society.

Rich kids have to debut into society.

Basically, Mom became my "mom-ager",

and started training me

to become Agastya's wife.

My perfect little girl.

When did you grow up so much?

Today, you and Agastya

are debuting together.

I can't believe it.

You have no idea how

I've winged this, Bella.

Okay, listen.

SEBI has been hounding your father.

If this goes on, we'll have to

file for bankruptcy next year.

You're the only one who

can save this family, Bella.

You understand?

Good.

You do know, right?

Before me, your father was

married to someone else.

Here's a tip.

In a world full of fakes, be a Birkin.

Got it?

Be original.

No.

Be irreplaceable.

Ladies

I wanted to study business after school.

So I did the next best thing.

I followed Aggy to New York,

where he was studying business.

I did some other short courses

including my favorite one.

Social media journalism.

How to do an in-depth

story in 140 characters or less.

Aggy, I'm tired. Stop.

Bella.

Will you marry me?

Yes.

And one day

just like that.

I actually fell in love.

-Wait! Just do it again, okay?

-What?

-Just one more time.

-What?

-You don't wanna marry me?

-I need to post it online

Oh, okay.

Bella, will you marry me?

Oh, my God!

Oh, my God!

It's so perfect.

I love you.

If I didn't post it it

didn't happen, right?

We had a fairy-tale wedding.

At Lake Como.

We had, like, 15 events.

Including a royal princess

-gone-goth-themed pre-sangeet party.

So, thanks to me, my family was not

becoming middle-class anytime soon.

Ka-ching!

Oh, and those aren't fireworks.

That's just the sound of

drones being shot down.

Never mind.

Samar and Agastya

became business partners.

And I officially became

Mrs. Bella Chowdhary.

And yes, we also got the same

celebrity pandit that cracks everyone up.

And, of course, we spent our

honeymoon in the Lakshwadeep.

Not in the Maldives.

We are not junket-hungry

influencers, are we?

The floating breakfast was

just to confuse my followers.

It's been three years

since we got married.

But, marriage was

like a reverse fairy tale.

The happiest part was in the beginning,

but later it just went steadily downhill.

Every morning started off the same.

With loneliness.

Which I tried to overcome with some

morning affirmations.

I am Bae.

I'm here to slay.

Eat, love, and pray.

Seize the day.

Good morning, Albert.

Later, some gratitude

for the great staff we have.

Good morning, Sunny.

Good morning, Rita.

Good morning, Maya.

Guten Morgen, Trixie.

Guten Morgen, Bae.

Buongiorno, Bella.

Ciao, Marco.

And then it was time for breakfast.

Ma'am.

Your charcoal water, oat milk latte, acai

bowl, and

Which was always served with

a side of

baby pressure.

Did Mom send this?

So that I can get pregnant?

Thank you.

Breaking news for today.

The shopping season continues

for Dhanraj Chowdhary

as he buys Toykea.

The decision to buy Toykea

was not just a business deal.

It was for our dear Bella.

And I can't wait to

be an uncle next year.

All the best, Bella.

My dear Bella,

this has been such a wonderful journey

and I can't wait to create

more memories with you,

and more things in our life.

I have already added

a little seat in our jet.

It could be two or three,

that's up to you.

Every evening would end with a

daily dose of Bae, and Bae's solitude.

But, Aggy, today is my birthday.

I know, Bae.

I really wish I could celebrate with

you, but Tesla stocks are sinking.

And he needs me.

I can't say no to Elon Musk, right?

But you can say no to me?

It's not that

What are you doing, Dinesh?

-Strangling me?

-Sorry, sir.

Just because you have an MBA

doesn't mean I can't fire you.

-You want your pension fund, right?

-Yes, sir.

So, be gentle.

It's work, Bae.

I really want to stay here

with you, but what can I do?

Can I come with you?

No one is bringing their

wives, you'll get bored.

How long will this go on, Aggy?

I'm so tired of this bread-crumbing.

We haven't even

We haven't even

we haven't even done burpees

in over a year.

Burpees are not everything.

Yeah, but what if they are to me?

Sir, the chopper is ready.

I'll be there.

Here.

Go, buy the yacht.

Birthday gift.

I don't want the yacht!

So what do you want?

Cricket team! I'll call

Preity, she owes me one.

-I think Shah Rukh also

-Money can't buy everything, Agastya.

Then go and do some

charity work with Mom.

I can't go with Mom

to distribute lemon meringue pies

in the name of charity, once again.

Why don't you get it?

I feel so lonely.

Happy birthday.

Come on, Dinesh.

To space.

Happy birthday to you!

Happy birthday to you!

Happy birthday, Bae ma'am!

-Happy birthday to you

-Good night, Kiki.

Good night, Patootie.

Good night, Lovebug.

You're all I really have.

And that's when I met him!

Prince.

Hotshot celeb trainer.

Forty-eight.

Forty-nine.

Enough, I'm tired.

One more.

Let's do 50.

Promise, only 50.

-Promise?

-Promise.

Fifty.

Good job.

That felt so good.

This calls for a flushed-face

fitness goals selfie.

What the hell!

It's hung!

When you run multiple social media apps

at the same time

this is what happens.

Damn!

What now?

I know a trick.

Press the power button.

Slide this.

Now hold the volume button

for exactly 3.5 seconds.

You're a magician.

Just a techie.

I look dumb, but I'm not.

I also look like a bimbo, but I'm not.

In this society, good-looking

people are always

-underestimated.

-underestimated.

Right?

You should change your

last name to Charming.

#PrinceCharming.

What's this tattoo?

It's an owl.

My spirit animal.

Actually, spirit bird.

My spirit animal.

I wanted my tattoo to be

poetic, so I got a roaring lion.

When you smile,

you look even more beautiful.

Do you know how hot you are?

Really?

My husband doesn't think so.

Your husband doesn't

realize how lucky he is.

Working with you

is very distracting.

You should hire a female trainer.

-I have a friend from Australia

-No, but I like you.

May I?

May I?

May I?

-Cheers!

-Cheers!

Then came that fateful night.

The night that changed it all.

Oh, my God!

Hi.

How are you doing?

Beautiful!

Looks amazing!

Cheers!

My beautiful wife Bella.

Bella, this is Kim Ji Woo.

-The CEO of YoboSky.

-Okay.

Chowdhary Multitech is signing a

huge investment deal with him soon.

-Nice.

-You definitely wooed us, Mr. Woo.

-Namaste.

-Annyeonghaseyo.

We need a partner

who will think just like us.

Traditional yet modern.

A company with good

old-fashioned family values.

-One must never forget their roots.

-I agree.

Roots must be touched up every 20 days.

You should be doing stand-up, madam.

Marvelous Mrs. Chowdhary.

That's a good one, that's

a good one, but jokes apart.

We too as a family view our culture

as a source of wisdom and spirituality.

And we believe especially

in respecting women.

You gave us K-pop.

We raise you Sheena Lakhani.

Ladies and gentlemen, straight from

Bollywood, please welcome Sheena Lakhani

with her latest super

hit song "My Deadly Kiss".

You know, we specially

flew her in last night.

A lot of tantrums,

but we handled it.

Enjoy.

Wherever I go

They raise a storm around me

My kiss is as deadly as my booty

My kiss is as deadly as my booty

My kiss is as deadly as my booty

Let me show you

around the property.

-Yeah?

-Yes.

This can go on.

They all sway and make way

For my deadly kiss

I burn the dance floor with my booty!

Before we diversified into real estate,

power, and technology

hospitality was our mainstay.

And where are we headed, gentlemen?

Why are you getting into this?

In three years, you haven't learned

a thing from Mom.

I was telling her what a great

hostess she has been all evening.

Everyone has been raving

about the hors d'oeuvres.

This way.

This is our palace suite.

The doors are bulletproof.

The walls are soundproof.

And the staff

is idiot-proof.

Nice.

We insist that you shift

to our hotel tomorrow.

Just to understand us better.

You know, Mr. Kim, what

you said was absolutely correct.

After all, money can never

compensate for morality.

Oh, my God!

It's been a while since I did any burpees.

I made a monumental blunder,

and I'll feel the after-effects of this

all my life.

And that's how I got kicked out.

I had to come back home.

Watchman!

Witch!

Ashok, it's me.

Bae Baby.

Are you okay?

Nothing's okay.

"Top business tycoon's bored housewife

caught in the act, picking up dumbbells."

Thank God it's a blind

article in the Delhi Mail.

But Pink Moon issued

the article with a photo.

Distract them.

Pay them to run the hashtag,

#SamarRajwanshtomarryJanhviKapoor.

But Samar and Janhvi

have met only once, ma'am.

Once at the London airport.

But we have a photo of

them together at the airport.

Make it seem like they

went on a holiday together.

Come on, CP.

Fine.

We have your personal chats.

Listen to this, viewers.

"Hey, babes."

How many babes do you have?

Second, "I'm bouncing."

Who are you bouncing on?

Third, "He is giving rizz." Who is rizz?

It's clear from your personal chats

-that you're cheating on your husband

-What the f*ck!

Ms. Zenia Contractor.

This is a violation of my privacy!

Please, don't make me laugh, madam.

Privacy as a concept is

so last century, viewers.

-Can we cut it?

-We do not cut, we zoom in on the truth.

Close up.

Let India

see the infidelity that

drips from her

There, shut up.

Thank your stars that the

Chowdharys silenced the media.

If it's not on TRP,

then it's nowhere!

Or else you'd be in her place, Bella.

What's this man's problem?

Was he not loved as a child?

Focus on your own issues.

You've got quite a few.

Mom.

Okay, I know I messed up.

But I will resolve this problem.

Where is Samar Bhai?

Why isn't he answering my calls?

Samar Bhai and I will go and talk to

Samar flew to Seoul this

morning to try and pacify Kim.

He is pulling out of the

business deal because of you.

Because signing a deal with a scandalous

family is not good for his reputation.

Samar's future, our future

you destroyed everything, Bella.

And you know the worst part?

People are going to judge me

for raising a daughter like you.

Why couldn't you be perfect, Bella?

I tried so hard.

Mom, I can still get an MBA.

I can join the company.

I swear I'll make up for this, Mom.

MBA?

You mean, mascara,

Botox, and abdominoplasty.

Please, Bella.

Where's Dad? I want to speak to him.

Your father had a panic attack

this morning.

He spoke to your father-in-law.

You can't see him.

You might trigger another one.

Please leave, Bella.

-But where will I go, Mom?

-LA.

To the Malibu house.

But I hate LA.

I am more of a New York City kinda girl.

Mom, please give me another chance.

I swear, everything will

be fine. I'll fix everything.

Bella.

Flight to LA, please be on it.

Trust me.

This is the best option for you.

I am your mother.

Mom, are you crying?

Of course not.

It's just the mascara in my eye.

Just go, Bella.

I am not going anywhere

without meeting Samar Bhai.

And where will you go?

You are banned in the

whole of South Delhi.

Mom I can go to Taj Mansingh.

There's a presidential suite there for us.

Please, Mom.

Forget South Delhi, no hotel in

the entire city will check you in, Bella.

Let me go.

Leave me!

The number you have

dialed is currently busy.

No one's gonna help, Bella.

Who would want to mess

with the Chowdharys?

Yoshna texted.

You're wrong.

Yoshna's saying, "Can't meet,

I have pneumonia." What?

That means you're just

like the "p" in "pneumonia".

Non-existent.

Don't create a fuss, Bella.

Go to LA.

Come back after a few months

when everyone has calmed down.

I don't need to go anywhere.

Samar Bhai will fix everything.

Just drop me off at Tara's.

I am 100% sure that she'll

let me live in one of her homes.

Please, Mom.

Let's go.

Yum.

The admin removed me from

the Emporio Empresses group.

Seriously, Tara.

You're my only true friend.

You're the admin of

Khan Market g*ng, right?

You too?

Chowdharys have issued strict orders

that no one can stay in touch with you.

-Not even

-My own mother.

Listen. I would've given you the keys

to my penthouse,

but I need the Chowdhary influence

to get my daughter into an Ivy League.

You understand, right?

Your daughter is two.

It's never too early, babe.

You have no idea

how competitive it gets.

At least I have my GramFam.

I just lost half a

million followers.

They must be the ones paid for

by the Chowdharys.

Listen, Bae.

You need to start afresh.

Go to a new city.

Someplace where

you're not on page three.

Diya, say bye to Auntie Bae.

The number you have

dialed is currently busy.

Please try later.

The number

Hello?

Hello?

I've been calling you. Where are you?

Sorry, Prince.

I couldn't answer your calls.

Actually

I have been disowned by my family.

What? Where are you?

I'll come and get you.

Please don't do that.

Don't try to contact me again.

You don't know my family.

They'll boycott you

and you'll lose

all your clients.

But where are you?

No ifs and buts.

The new gym you wanted to start.

How will you pay the monthly installments?

It's my fault, Prince.

I am the one who is married.

I should've thought it through.

And you?

What about you?

Samar Bhai is in Seoul right now.

As soon as he gets back,

everything will be fine.

Bye, Prince.

Since you walked away,

My heart hurts a little

I know I messed up,

But my heart hurts a little

Whatever I know

I hold on to

Hello, Tara.

-Please don't hang up.

-Yeah?

Can you do me one last favor?

For old-time's sake.

Bae, this isn't a good time.

Please send me your car.

What?

I have nowhere to sleep tonight.

Okay.

My dreams, my desires

Remain unfulfilled

Why did distance creep in?

Tell me, my friend.

Your sadness is essential

But why did distance creep in?

Tell me, my friend

My dreams, my desires

Remain unfulfilled

Why did distance creep in?

Tell me, my friend.

Your sadness is essential

But why did distance

creep in? Tell me, my friend

Roll down your window.

Step outside, madam.

Driver's license, madam?

It's a case of drinking and driving.

Only drinking, not driving.

Did you drink everything in the bar?

What are you saying?

Show me the papers for this car.

Actually, this isn't my car.

Come down to the station with us.

Do I get to stay there all night?

We can let you go

after some time. Maybe.

Why? Why not all night?

What is wrong with the law

and order of this country?

-Shameful.

-Take her back to the station.

-Come on, ma'am.

-Wait.

-I need to get my babies.

-What?

Are there kids in the car?

My babies.

Dear immunity system,

I'm so sorry for this.

I still love you, okay?

Bae.

No! No, no. No.

No.

So? How's everything in the underworld?

Wow, you're already in orange.

Jail prep. Nice.

Oh, silly me. How can I forget?

The jails here have striped uniforms.

Thank God they're vertical.

Oh, man.

Dear, yes, I've had my dinner.

Do you know what time it is?

Okay. So, I'm feeling a bit chatty.

So, tell me.

How did you get here?

I was sick of eating

my sister-in-law's food.

So I poisoned her.

A bit extreme, don't you think?

I mean, you could have

learned how to cook instead.

Men, I tell you.

But she didn't die.

After that, I got into a

scuffle with my brother.

-Oh.

-Yes.

And he kicked me out of the house.

Wait.

You and I, we're both homeless.

That caused a lot of

ruckus on the street.

Then the cops got there

and brought me here.

Oh, my God! We're like twins.

Literally, the same

thing happened to me.

Homelessness, followed by a disturbance

on the street, followed by cops.

But you don't look

homeless, Ms. Moneybags.

How did you wind up on the streets?

My husband kicked me out.

Then go to your parents' house.

I did, but

they kicked me out too.

When my parents were alive,

no one could mess with me.

You have no idea how lucky you are.

-My left profile is better.

-Sorry?

Won't you take a mugshot?

Madam, I really apologize.

Ms. Tara confirmed that the car

belonged to her and it wasn't stolen.

But,

you will still have to pay a

fine for drinking and driving.

You can leave after that.

-How much is it?

-Ten thousand.

Just like a last-season designer

wallet in an end-of-season online sale.

No problemo.

Sir, please help me out.

You can leave once

you pay 5000 rupees.

Or I'll file a police report.

Sir, I'm a poor man.

How will I pay 5000?

Should I file a police report?

Sir, you can take the

5000 rupees and let him go.

What about your ticket?

Keep the car with you. I'll send

someone to pay and collect it tomorrow.

Toodles!

-Okay.

-Go.

Go there.

Where it never gets dark.

Always among the stars.

Just by the sea.

And the fish are smelly.

Google translate?

Your future is waiting there.

Go!

Yeah, okay.

Tell me about my future too.

You don't have a future.

You'll rot here.

Come on.

Hey, Bae!

Bye.

Hey, Bae!

The world awaits you

Where have you been all this while?

Hey, Bae!

Hey, Bae!

Hey, Bae!

Prince, I told you not to call me.

Bae, I had to call you.

I traced Samar's SIM location.

He's not in Seoul, he's in Mumbai.

What?

Oh, my God. An owl.

My spirit animal.

That means Mumbai.

Where it never gets dark.

Where it never gets dark.

Always among the stars.

Always among the stars.

Just by the sea.

Just by the sea, and the fish are smelly.

Are you having a nervous breakdown?

What are you saying?

Prince, I need to go to Mumbai.

To meet Samar Bhai.

Exactly! I sent you the ticket.

The flight's at 3:30 a.m. Don't miss it.

Thank you so much, Prince.

But promise me that you

won't call me after this.

Bye.

Hello?

Taxi.

-Tax

-Madam.

You won't get a taxi like this.

Hold on.

Airport.

The taxi will be

here in a minute.

Thank you so much, brother.

I should be the one thanking you.

This

Thank you for this too.

Kallumal?

You booked a taxi?

Domestic or international?

Domestic, terminal 1D.

You are Kallumal?

Just call me Bae.

My dreams and desires

Seem fulfilled

Newer roads and journeys.

Don't scare me anymore.
