As far as content,
what's the plan of action?
You guys are releasing
her page
-Her Instagram page, right?
-[Srushti] Yes.
So, I have this whole concept
that I wanted to
actually have as my first post.
What's the concept?
A couple of things are written
and I want that to play in the background
because that speaks a lot
about the journey I'm starting.
Okay, so it's not cooking?
-Written where?
-We're not. Aren't we doing the cooking
Uh No, I don't want
to start with a cooking video.
[suspenseful music plays]
I don't want
to restrict myself to only cooking, right?
I want to be able to do lifestyle,
beauty, everything.
The last time we spoke,
it was something else.
Cooking is my passion, of course.
But at the same time, I don't want to
restrict my work to just that.
-But I just want to say don't do too much.
-[Alfia] Too much.
Who wants to just see a pretty face?
There's a limit to it. There's a cap.
Unless you're already established,
then you can get away with an aesthetic
Looking at our girls,
each of them is so unique in what they do
which makes them special.
Aryaana sings.
Alaviaa is into fashion.
They all have their thing
and we got you because
you said you loved cooking, so
[Ivor] The only way to survive
in this industry is consistency.
But you also have to
have your niche
-and you need to know what
-[Alfia] Yeah, of course.
kind of content you're creating
and every time somebody comes back,
-they need to expect something from you.
-Mm-hmm.
I wanna do lifestyle,
beauty, food, everything.
Because the more, the merrier.
-[suspenseful music continues]
-[Alfia speaks indistinctly]
All the girls have a say,
but I'm sorry,
we've done this for years
and we know what works.
And the last thing we want is
another failed project.
Everybody has the right to fail
and learn from their own mistakes.
Everybody deserves a fresh start
and this is mine.
[suspenseful music fades]
[upbeat song plays]
[upbeat song ends]
I've just been waiting
and waiting for my visa.
Gosh, it's been such
-a stressful week for you.
-I know.
I know, it's insane.
[Alaviaa] Rahi is a really
successful fashion influencer.
He only works with luxury brands.
His content is so good.
I met him a few months ago
and then I think we just clicked.
What's happening with this visa?
[sighs]
Don't ask.
I'm just like
It's taken way too long.
-I was supposed to get it last week.
-Yeah.
It's not here yet.
I hope to get it in a few days
and then I'll be really late.
I mean, this is my mistake,
but I applied for my visa a little later,
thinking that it'd come quickly,
but it took longer than I expected.
And are the rest of the girls
already there?
-Yeah, everyone's there.
-Do you have FOMO?
-Yes.
-Like major?
I'd have major FOMO.
Is everyone in a relationship?
-Alanna's married.
-Yeah.
-So, that doesn't count.
-Yeah.
Um Aryaana's dating Kyle,
who I have met briefly
and I did pass a comment about him.
-I thought he was a bit boring.
-Like?
He's like a sada dosa.
That's just what I thought,
but I think it's 'cause
I really want to see a photo of this guy.
Alaviaa, you can't call
somebody's boyfriend a sada dosa.
-No, I just thought he was like
-Yeah.
-It was more like he didn't speak much.
-Okay.
-Maybe he was like, socially anxious.
-Yes.
-Yeah.
-So I guess
-Yeah.
-I'll see whether I think he's fun.
Sada dosa is just boring and bland.
I thought he was like
Like he was just there, you know.
Like, not really contributing to anything.
-Like
-Do you have a group chat at least?
It's One second,
I must tell you this. So
-Um Wait, you don't have a group chat?
-We do have
I created this group chat
-to discuss the rooms.
-Yeah.
Like, who is gonna have what room and
I said it's fair to either do chits.
-You know, or like, rotate the rooms.
-Yeah.
And I was even down to share a room.
-Um
-You are the Mother Teresa of the group.
-I agree.
-That's for sure. Yeah.
Yeah, so I'm willing
to sacrifice my space.
-Your freedom. Yeah
-Yes, and Alfia reached,
and all of them just went into rooms.
And I hear about it from someone else.
None of them told me about the rooms,
-when they said we'll decide after
-That's really shitty.
Yes.
-I'd not be okay with that.
-They should know that,
-I'm not going to go into the small room.
-Yeah.
-That's gonna cause major drama.
-I don't care.
[dramatic music plays]
She has 600
followers right now.
Why should someone see her post
a beauty video?
When there are thousands of girls online,
k*lling it at their make-up game.
[Alanna] The first conversation
we had was
I asked her what you loved
the most in the world.
She said cooking.
And I feel like it should be
something surrounding that.
I said I want to be Nigella Lawson.
But I want to be today's Nigella Lawson.
They said I should at least
post five to six times a week.
How much food do you think
I'll be able to post?
If she wants to
get into fashion and stuff,
then she needs to figure out a way
to pair that with cooking.
-So
-Yeah.
Otherwise, nobody cares about
your life right now.
Like, you have to give somebody
a reason to watch.
-Ivor spitting facts.
-[Ivor] Yeah.
Cooking is my passion.
But it doesn't define my work or me.
Today, as a diabetic,
I go out, I'm exploring food.
What do I do when I come back home?
-How do I detox myself?
-[indistinct chatter]
-Yeah, see, it's all tied.
-Yeah.
At least, trust my instinct.
I want to learn
from everyone's experiences.
But don't just
[clicks tongue]
disregard what I have in my head
or my vision.
Every day she's here costs money.
[Alanna] We don't have time to experiment.
You should be posting every day.
I'm being easy on you
-by saying you need to post
-[Ivor] Yeah.
five times a week.
That's being chill.
We need to get her up
to at least 50k in a month.
I mean, that's like,
I'm giving an easy target.
It should be more.
I'm in charge of getting brand deals
and right now I can't convince any brand
to work with anyone
that has 500 followers.
So, she really needs to
For how long can work be delayed like this
because someone doesn't think
it's important enough to make it?
The world does not revolve around you.
-Or anybody for that matter.
-[Aryaana] Mm-hmm.
Alfia and Alaviaa have not even met.
Like, they've barely met.
How can you have such
a strong judgment? I get it.
There's like a lot going on, but still.
I feel like we need to stay a family.
I think you girls
really need to sit with her
and just make sure she understands
that this is like a team effort.
And that she's a part of something
bigger than herself.
Because I was sensing just
a slight issue of entitlement.
You know, for the company,
you can either be a bad investment,
or you could be a good investment.
But if she's a bad investment then
we all know where that goes. So
When you walk in with this attitude,
what do you think you'll get?
A platter?
She wants a red carpet?
I would say something, but just
I'll stick to my bland nature.
-You know why he's saying that?
-What? No.
Because she has met him for five minutes
and she's told Alanna, she told Srushti,
about how he's like, super dull.
"Is he always like this?"
-I'm like, how do you
-What does she want him to do?
-Wear a red nose and juggle?
-No, my question is,
she doesn't know him.
So, where are you getting
How do you have an opinion like this
over someone you don't even know?
You can talk about me,
but the minute you start talking
about people who are important to me,
I have horns.
Alaviaa already has a following.
A, she has been a part of CollabTribe
since the beginning.
B, she obviously has more of an audience.
And she is more beneficial
to the company currently.
Zoom out and see the macro picture,
there is a hierarchy.
Alaviaa is making money
and that's right.
-Why should she get the smallest room?
-Yeah.
And then the health issues Like,
okay cool, you need to sleep alone, fair.
But you can take your meds
in a small room also.
Because like, in the moment,
I was very emotional
and I realized that
I could not just ask her to
sleep in the laundry room.
We both got emotional.
"No, no, you don't sleep here"
Sounds like you guys
got played like a fiddle.
-I don't get played, please.
-Absolutely!
-[Ivor chuckles]
-Maybe.
[dramatic music ends]
[energetic song plays]
[energetic song ends]
I don't know what's the problem.
[energetic song plays in the background]
[in Hindi] Why are you driving me
up the wall in the morning
-by playing so much music?
-[Simar laughs]
What's going on?
-We made a new song.
-Aren't y'all dressing up a lot nowadays?
A hot and happening song.
[in English] Is this our song?
[in Hindi] We made this song yesterday,
I was recording it.
-[in Hindi] Really?
-A little more is left but
It's a mad scene.
[in English]
Rishab and Simar are like family.
We started this journey together
even before CollabTribe was born.
Now, I have invested in
these two individuals who are gonna,
like, kinda be musicians.
[in Hindi] Quickly make the music video.
-[in English] Get a smoking hot girl.
-[Simar] Mm-hmm.
[in Hindi] Create a new album.
Do something.
Okay, lower the volume,
I have work with Vidhi.
[energetic song fades]
[in English] Did you speak to Alex
about the Collab Cave situation?
Should we send him
the amount for the construction?
Yeah, I told you to do that last week.
You didn't confirm, I wasn't supposed
to send so much money without
I never confirm anything that I say.
If I say it, just do it.
Okay, I'm doing it.
CollabTribe, did we sign
Cameron's contract
-for Aryaana's music video?
-Yeah, I sent that.
-[Hardik] Okay, cool.
-Last week.
Vidhi is like, one of my arms.
I have known her since
Like almost 15 years now.
She basically handles every single thing
that I don't have the time to
Can you and you,
both get in touch with Archie
and figure out when he's transferring
the 10 million to the crypto company?
Are we taking that
in stablecoins or in Bitcoin?
[in Hindi] Accept wealth
however it comes.
[Simar in Hindi] Let it come!
Whether they give it in Bitcoin or USDT,
just take it.
[birds chirping]
[dial tone ringing]
[Alanna] Hi, Anip, thank you so much
for getting on a call with me today.
Of course. I'm sorry, I'm stuck
in New York for Fashion Week.
I'm a little upset
that we couldn't have you.
The designers were so excited
to have you walk.
-There's always next year, right?
-Of course.
[Alanna] So, Anip Patel is someone
we met a few months back.
He actually brought us
a few big brand deals.
And he actually specializes in
bringing Indian talent here as well.
I just wanted to pitch all five girls
and see if you have any brands
that'd be interested in working with us.
The first thing the brand is gonna ask me
is to show what they've done together.
Have you done anything as a
group together?
Not yet. So, the new girl just came.
Can I ask what their following counts are?
Yeah, we have three girls
that already have
like, an established following.
They're between 100k and 200k.
Um Our new girl is still private.
Can I ask why the fifth person is private?
We thought it'd be a good idea
to kinda just build someone from scratch.
So, are they willing to go out,
you know, investing in themselves?
I'm at Fashion Week right now.
There's a 100 South Asian influencers,
who have flown here,
paid for their own hotel,
paid for their own flights,
[Anip] just to meet
and mingle with people.
You want everyone
to talk about CollabTribe.
Like, who are these five girls?
How are we going to sign them?
[Anip] The only issue I see here is,
that once you do things as a group,
you're gonna be paid as a group.
Are you willing to take one paycheck
and divide it by five
to people who are just starting off,
when you are more established?
I don't think anyone's going to pay you
more than 100-150 thousand dollars.
But now, you are devalued.
Now, you are liquidated
[Anip] to a fifth of that.
[Anip] Maybe, you could create one video
or one content, see how that goes.
Then I can use that to give to the client,
like, to show all five.
-Yeah.
-And look at the traction we can bring.
So, it is hard, very, very hard to pitch.
If I pitched all five of you right now,
they'd laugh.
[Alanna] My call with Anip
was kind of a wake-up call.
I think it was just a sign
that we need to get our sh*t together.
[Alanna] It wasn't what I wanted to hear,
but it was the truth.
[exhales deeply]
[upbeat music plays]
[Aryaana] I thought showing
Alfia around would be fun.
I thought she should get
the full LA experience.
Do you feel like you're living in a movie?
Yeah.
Now it feels like I've come to LA.
No, look at him.
-Wanna say hi?
-Yeah.
There was a man with exactly these nails.
Exactly these nails.
He just looked at me and was like
I have this talent
where I just piss off people.
Yeah
-[in Hindi] Really?
-[in English] Okay, he's not interested.
[in Hindi] He'll beat me up.
-Please let's go.
-Let's go.
Why is he sitting so dressed up
if he doesn't want to say hi?
-[in English] Hi.
-Hey man, don't do that, okay?
But I said hi.
I said hi to a teddy bear
and he just shouted at me.
-I don't like LA.
-Okay, let's go.
You don't like LA?
I wanna go home.
Are you guys down to play
for the CollabTribe party?
-When is it?
-Let's do it.
[Hardik] I think, probably next
to next week.
-[Simar in Hindi] Someone's coming.
-[in English] Hi, guys.
[in Hindi] Where did she come from?
-[in English] Shut up.
-I'm a mess.
[soft music plays]
So, I was basically entering
and I overheard
-What?
-That you are asking them to play for some
-CollabTribe party.
-[Simar] Mm-hmm.
But I've already booked them for my party.
I had this thing where I was constantly
waiting to actually throw a party.
Like, I never actually threw a party
for Breakfast Party, which is kinda weird.
What is the date of the event?
How are you so not aware?
My event is next to next week.
But I didn't know that
your event was next week.
-She has told you a few times.
-[Simar laughs]
I thought you guys were like sworn
enemies. Why are you taking her side?
-And when has she ever told me
-I'm being truthful and honest.
Do you know when
Aryaana's music video is getting shot?
I was butting in
her music video because
I'm not asking you
why you're butting into her video.
-I'm just saying that it's funny,
-Can you frame your question
how you are butting into her video
and you don't know the date or anything
or even the fact that I'm having an event,
which I think is bizarre.
I have no help from him for the brand.
Like, absolutely nothing.
-Can I interrupt?
-No.
Okay.
[Srushti] For my brand,
I've done everything
from scratch. Literally, myself.
He does have a partnership
with my company,
so I do kind of feel like
I need to hold him a little accountable.
Party is your department,
-Okay.
-which is why I've come here for help.
-We're here to help you.
-[Simar] Yeah.
-Like So
-I know. Like you should be.
Just tell me what you need from me.
I'll make it happen for you.
[country music playing]
You don't know what you need, right?
-I do.
-Then?
[country music fades]
Security, I need help with,
because I don't know.
I've never thrown an event,
so I don't know how that works.
Have these guys play next to the pool.
I'll have a fixed guest list
that I think is relevant
to the clothing brand.
Basically, money, money, money.
[Simar chortles]
[in Hindi] He's intentionally stressing
you out and you're also letting him.
[in English] If you can actually just
take care of the security and guest list,
I'm good.
Do you want me
to stand outside personally?
You're not good enough for security.
-I'll let all the pretty girls in.
-[Vidhi] Only the hot girls go
You have to let all the pretty girls in.
Since you guys do party a lot
and meet so many girls,
the least I can get in return is
for them to come as buyers.
Or even like somebody
to spread the word out because
I'd suggest that
instead of selling at all,
[smacks lips] just get rid of that idea
-of selling the merchandise.
-How do I make money, Hardik,
if I'm spending so much money
to get so many people in?
That becomes like a flea market.
If you're calling for such nice people,
you can't force them to buy.
You should give it to them
and let them post.
This whole event is an activation
for your marketing.
I'm just saying that
call the people with
the maximum distribution. [smacks lips]
-And less of them.
-Yeah.
Like, less is more.
This helps me. This makes me feel
a little bit better.
The fact that you've paid,
like, two cents of attention.
Will you come or would you be like,
literally, like going somewhere or
flying out to go somewhere or something?
[Simar laughs]
-There's no need for
-Me and Rishab are coming.
-that much attitude.
-You still didn't say a yes.
I don't know why
you're attacking me today, but
Yeah, I was like, this is a
I really care about this brand as much as
you do, so I'd obviously show up.
-You do?
-Of course, I do.
Oh Good to know.
At the start of the conversation, I get
like you're mad because of everything.
But after they're saying
they're figuring everything out for you,
why are you still mad and
why are you still giving attitude
even after they're helping so much?
I don't know why she gives these
unwanted Nobody asked for her opinion.
She just gives like
these extra comments sometimes,
[Srushti] when unneeded.
I'm saying that just be grateful.
Like I'm just like a grateful person.
Even though
We're not talking about you here.
I'm just saying, by the end of it,
you can just be like,
-"Oh thanks, guys."
-I did.
I said I am I said thanks for
No. But your tone
is just a little bit
He gets 20 percent of everything I make.
That's just the bare minimum
that he can do.
Maybe she wanted a raise.
Maybe she wanted something out of it.
But honestly, from what I know,
she sometimes hates Hardik
and I'm somebody
who shares that sorrow with her.
She's mad at me for something else,
-whatever I guess,
-This was I'm not
-and that's coming out
-You're not doing me a favor.
You're not doing me a favor.
I don't think she's right
to be angry with me.
She has not communicated that she
needed my help with that party planning.
She just expects it from me,
which is okay.
But like, hello
I have a hundred other things to do.
Like just call me, text me, come to me.
And be like,
"Okay, Hardik, can you help me with this?"
And I'll be there for her.
I'm grateful though, overall.
I'm grateful that
I get to do this in the first place.
I'm very grateful.
I wake up being very grateful.
[Vidhi] Hmm.
It's just not translating right now.
[tense music]
[soft music plays]
Hardik's house is there.
Can you see it?
-The white house is that?
-It's that big.
Holy moly!
In Muslims, we say, Alhamdulillah,
which means that I'm really,
really grateful to the almighty
for what I have.
And in my heart, I can't stop
saying Alhamdulillah for even a second.
You have come a long way.
So, it's good for you to feel like that.
[soft music fades]
[upbeat music plays]
[in English] I feel like my brain
works only at night.
Like in the night, I had so many ideas.
I think we should come up
with a drinks menu
and name it on breakfast foods
for the event.
-Yeah, but then there's only three.
-[Srushti] 'Cause, there's no
That's all people can drink.
Yes, like even when I went to
Taylor Swift's concert,
only two things I could get,
Love Story Margarita or
You Belong With Me.
It's like, "Welcome to Breakfast Party"
and they'll be cooking margaritas.
But they're named after breakfast foods.
-Isn't that cool?
-Cute.
Right?
[cellphone rings]
-Hello.
-[Alaviaa] You're looking fresh.
-Please
-[Aryaana chortles]
-Look at me and my pimple stickers.
-[Alaviaa chuckles] Um
So, do you know when you're coming now?
I think tomorrow.
-For real?
-Yeah.
-Did you send my party invite to people?
-Not yet.
I will though. I have asked Rahi
to be in touch with
the people and then I'm like
We need girls.
Guys are also fine, I guess.
So, did you invite AP Dhillon?
You said he was gonna be in town.
He usually is in LA,
I'll hit them up when I'm there.
Last I heard they were in
New York.
No idea what he'd do
in a bikini party.
Is that the vibe?
No, I'm joking.
[upbeat music fades]
[cheerful music plays]
Hi, guys.
Hi, guys! Very fake.
This is Alfia. This is Alfia?
[speaks indistinctly]
Hi, guys, this is Yaani.
Welcome back to my channel.
Today, we're being joined
by my lovely boyfriend.
He's gonna be doing my make-up.
I'm just starting my cooking channel here.
Don't judge me. Please be kind.
I just felt like
I should have my bank of content.
[Alfia] And since they were keen
that I start with food and
cooking is still the base of
most of the things. So I tried.
So today, I'm making pesto pasta.
We won't be using a food processor.
And I'm going to start grinding it
with my pine nuts. Garlic.
Just see how
the dishwasher's been loaded.
[in Hindi] Has Nigella Lawson
ever done the dishes?
[in English] We'll start making the pesto.
The color has started changing.
Hold on.
Some there.
I think this is pretty good.
But I also want to add some color here.
-What are you blabbering?
-I don't know.
But you know, it's like the joker.
When I first started my YouTube channel,
I was very against starting one at all.
And Hardik has pushed and pushed
to the point where saying no
was not an answer.
-Hi.
-Hi.
-What are you doing?
-Cooking.
-You wanted help?
-Yes, I did.
Why didn't you ask?
I don't know why
she didn't ask for help before.
I think she was a little shy.
I don't know what happened.
But I'm glad I was trying to help her
with the content.
So, I'll just be a human tripod?
Can you please? I'm really tired, please.
Yeah, go for it.
Can you take a shot from the top here?
[Srushti] Yes, ma'am.
Set the camera facing me.
I literally just came down
to fill my water bottle.
[Srushti] This looks so good.
Maybe it's just my angles, bro.
You have the best cameraman right now.
I need to cut the avocado.
Can you please take that shot for me?
Okay, ma'am. Quick.
[in Hindi] Why did you come, bro?
[in English] "Quick."
Am I in some restaurant or what?
What were you going to do
if I wasn't here?
-I managed to film half of it.
-Let me see what you've done.
Look, there's so much of the marble
and there's so less of you.
That's not
I don't think that's the best way.
You should keep it on 3x and
you should be in the center.
But okay, what do I know?
[Alfia] The videos that Srushti has taken
to the videos that I have taken,
there's a vast difference.
And I just don't like what I shot.
It's kind of my signature as an artist.
So, ten being, "You'd hire me on set."
And one being, "This guy should
never be near a make-up brush."
Why does it look like I've been slapped?
He sucked.
He was so Oh, my God, he was so bad.
My hand's hurting.
I think we've got enough shots.
She's too good. She's just too good.
I don't know
what to do with her sometimes.
Why don't you just use a blender, bro?
Oh, you've already explained to me.
Never mind.
She gets on my last nerve already.
But she's got her heart
in the right place.
I feel like I'll let things go with
her easily.
[Alfia] Is it good?
-Wow!
-For real?
-Insane!
-Does it need salt?
Oh, cooking thumbs up, yes!
[wind howling]
[upbeat song plays]
[man 1] How are you doing, legend?
I was actually looking forward to this.
-I heard their milkshakes are amazing.
-[cheering]
-Best milkshakes in town.
-Wow!
Jonathan or Yo-ha-nathan
or Yoni, however, you want to call him,
is my music producer and he's amazing.
-I wish I had a cool name.
-Yeah.
Maybe we can think of
something cool for me.
-Yaani, Yoni
-Yeah.
How did you get Yoni?
My full name is Jonathan.
So hard for people to
Srushti had Christie.
You're gonna see her though. She's going
to come for the music video sh**t.
Nice fire!
If you've heard my songs in the past,
you've seen it's all very
[Aryaana] sad, it's very heartbreaking.
And Hardik wanted a new vibe.
I wanted a new vibe.
Something people can dance to.
So, we did Butterflies.
Butterflies Butterflies ♪
-Good song.
-You have high hopes for it?
-Good song.
-Yeah.
Thank you so much.
That looks really nice.
-How is it?
-It's really good. Delicious.
Both from my experience
and just as a fan and as an observer,
I think you got something very,
very special.
-[indistinct chatter]
-Thank you, that means a lot.
I don't know how Kyle and I
are gonna dance. We're not dancers.
Are you going to
do some sort of choreography to it?
-We have a choreographer coming.
-[Jonathan speaks indistinctly]
I have my first meeting with her
this week.
-Wow, okay.
-But I don't know.
-[Jonathan] Sick!
-I'm not a dancer.
Yeah, you never dance?
I thought you have that kind of
-I move. I groove.
-[Jonathan] Kind of a
-"I move. I groove."
-That's not the same thing.
So, this music video,
according to Hardik, is my Baby.
By Baby, I mean, the song "Baby,"
not my baby.
If you guys remember,
Justin Beiber had a Baby break-out song.
And he wants Butterflies,
which is something I wrote, again,
about Kyle
He wants that to be my Baby.
When I played the new song for him he
He was shocked.
He was like, "I didn't know you had this."
[incoherent chatter]
So now, we're trying
to focus on commercial.
-Right.
-What's going to work with the public?
I do think this is it.
I think this is going to be
like he said, my Baby.
I don't know when.
But it's going to
because I don't have another option.
This is the only thing
I've ever wanted to do.
[joyful music playing]
Has anyone put
CollabTribe in their bios?
I've said it like, ten times.
-I think we should do it right now.
-No, I'm not doing it.
Why, Srushti?
I will literally take charge of it
and I'll put it
before even my own brands and username.
But I feel like I do want
everybody to be on the same page.
You want it to be a thing
before you put it in your bio.
She's fair in her point.
She doesn't want to do this unless
it's going to be a real thing.
-I don't want to do it until we start.
-[Aryaana] And if everyone starts
Srushti, you need to
We need to be an example.
How's anyone going to come and follow
if we don't do it ourselves?
-[Alanna] Because the CollabTribe
-I had it in my bio for the longest time.
And I feel like I saw everybody
kind of, like, take it out.
And right now, I don't wanna put it in
because I'm not proud of it.
If somebody's coming to my profile
and going to it, I don't want it to be
-She wants it to represent something.
-That I'm associated with something
-that's nothing.
-[Aryaana] Yeah.
Everyone's just like we'd be associated
when it becomes something.
But we need to make it something.
I get that CollabTribe has 6000 followers.
But just put it in your bio.
[Alanna] I've asked them five times
and these girls have still not done it.
Even if it adds five people, to like
following it, it's something.
I don't know why this is
such an important conversation.
We're saying yes.
No one is saying no.
I actually don't hate it,
now that I'm looking at it.
I just feel like, the way that
it's playing out, it's reminding me of
how the first time we started this.
I just feel like, there's a lot of
"We're going to do this."
But like, nothing is really getting done.
I get what she's saying
and I completely understand.
I was having this conversation with Alfia
and I sat down and I
made a full mood board for her yesterday,
for two hours.
Also, I was thinking that I've done this
before with other girls.
If I do that amount of effort on myself,
it's like, why will I not grow
-and not do that for personal reasons?
-Exactly.
And I was just doing that and I'm like
Oh, my God, is she actually
just gonna go back home?
-Yeah.
-And be like, "Oops, never mind!
I don't wanna do this anymore."
I don't wanna go through that again.
I think it should be more like we get
a percent of what they make
for a certain amount of years
if they decide to leave CollabTribe
because that's what most of the girls do.
I think I wanna make a new rule
that a percent of what the girls make
goes towards the rent
for the CollabTribe house.
If you feel like, "Oh, sh*t, I'm paying,
a couple of thousands to live here,"
you're gonna work harder too.
-To make that amount.
-To make that happen, exactly.
But this is a debate that you need to have
with somebody who
-Has a stake.
-got you here.
I feel like we're not the people
you need to have this conversation with.
Yeah, but he's also like,
this is your thing.
But he also wants it his way.
If you are accountable.
Be like, "I'm the CEO.
I'm gonna treat you
like an angel investor.
I'm gonna run it like a company
and I'm gonna do it. It's on my head."
This is how you'll get your
CEO credibility if you actually care.
I have seen Hardik
with multiple other businesses.
And I know how his CEOs are
and how he treats them.
Like, act like a CEO
to actually be able to
make decisions like a CEO, right?
-Hi.
-Hi.
-What's happening?
-[indistinct chatter]
So, we were discussing,
I know we had a plan to like,
wait for Alaviaa
to have your account public,
but I think that we should
just do it now. What do you think?
-I don't mind going public right now.
-Let's just do it.
I'm more excited than you.
Can I just delete everything?
-Yeah.
-It'll take me a minute.
There's some kind of satisfaction I get
by just archiving old stuff
and starting fresh.
But can you just have a look once?
I did, just last night I did it with you.
I know, but I just want
her opinion as well.
Because I feel like some of it is like,
-not aesthetic but it's also very me.
-Exactly, it's her.
And there are bits and pieces
of my bachelorette and stuff like that.
Guys, I have decided. It's me doing it.
We all will be a part of this
like a ceremony.
Alfia's rising from the dead again.
Literally.
I'm kinda scared of going public again.
I didn't help her clean up her feed.
I deleted her whole feed.
She should start from scratch.
-Can you dance? There's some dance stuff.
-[Alfia speaks indistinctly]
The way I dance is very Bollywood.
-So what?
-So?
You can do even better.
You know, dance content
literally does the best.
We've had girls that
have made careers and bought
five million dollar houses by dancing
-on TikToks.
-On TikToks.
-Let's do it.
-Guys my hand is hurting.
I'm ready right now.
Literally, I wish I could.
I'd be dancing all day.
But I just want to know that
if we're actually putting in
so much effort,
I just want to tell you this
from the bottom of my heart.
If you go back to India, I swear to God.
No, you can go back, but I'm just saying
if you don't pursue this
-You leave the country, I swear to God.
-I swear to God, if you don't
pursue this,
it's a bad business decision for sure
but I'll be heartbroken on top.
-I do this very passionately.
-[Alfia] No, honestly
LA is definitely going to be
a place where I want to work from.
The decision that I'll be making is
whether I want to be in and out of LA
or whether I want
to permanently move to LA.
-Okay.
-But LA is definitely
-going to be the base for me.
-[Aryaana] That's good to hear.
So, what if were to put it in contract?
-I'll sign it.
-You'll sign it?
-Yeah.
-Do you have a bio in mind?
-What should I put?
-Something like, "New life, new types"?
I feel like it should be your thing,
so you should decide.
New season, new heart.
-New season yeah.
-What are you doing?
Guys, it's done.
-Yay!
-[joyful song plays]
[Alanna] Welcome to the family!
Guys, I got 100 followers
in the last five minutes.
-Good job.
-I feel pathetic,
-but okay!
-Good job!
I have 900.
-Wow!
-You got 300 followers in a minute?
-Wow! You haven't even posted.
-That's really good.
Suddenly, the little, little pathetic
is going down.
Congratulations.
[Aryaana] How do you feel
about your new public life?
Long way to go, guys.
Long way to go!
[joyful song fades]
[horn honking in the distance]
-[in English] You're going finally?
-Yeah.
I'm excited to get out of
-Of course, you're excited. Yeah.
-Bombay.
Because you have no one looking after you.
-No one there
-Yeah. Of course.
who's going to be standing on
your head, "Wake up, do this!"
Yeah, I like being alone.
But are all your friends there
or are they not there?
No. I have like a few.
I actually don't have many people
that I know.
And the thing is,
Hardik and all don't do much.
Except when they're
going on their trips.
Like, they don't go out to eat.
They only go clubbing to
like, the most commercial clubs
and do that kind of scene.
And Srushti and all are always
sitting at home. They'll not get out
-to like
-You always judge too hard.
That's your problem.
-Enjoy yourself.
-But, it's
-Enjoy means, you're in LA
-This is why you need me.
They should go out,
they should step out of the house
which they don't do at all.
Don't you dare call me up from there
saying, "Please transfer me some funds."
I don't need funds anymore.
-You will be asking me for funds.
-I hope so.
I'll pray, inshallah,
that you don't need funds.
It'll be fun. I'm looking forward
to seeing your snaps
and stories from your trip.
When are your movie promotions starting?
Dude, I have three promotions
back to back.
-Have you figured out your outfits?
-What are you trying to say?
Have you figured out your outfits?
Whether I figured it out or not,
I'm not going to show you any of that.
Who taught you not to wear skinny jeans?
-The trend
-Me Me
Yeah, I told you one year ago
and then you just started
-doing it like, two months ago.
-Your sense of dressing is horrible.
-Please don't ever give me
-No, I'm too good.
[water gushing]
[upbeat music plays]
[Alanna] So, I guess Hardik
heard about my little chat with the girls.
Because perfect timing,
he has come over and we were discussing
who does what in the company.
I wanted to talk to you about how to
kind of separate the creative block
from the monetization block.
I think right now it's getting too much
for you also to handle
on how to get everyone
to do the same thing.
I just went home and tried
to put everything down on paper.
You know, how are we
working in the short term?
I just think that all of us
need to have a clear conversation on
what everybody's roles are
so if you're playing an investor,
then you play an investor.
First of all, I'm not an investor,
I'm a co-founder of this company.
And I have been acting like one
since three years,
while all of you guys were just lazy
-[Alanna] Excuse me!
-and not doing anything.
Excluding you.
-Hardik, we did not have any two years.
-And now we are here
Nobody worked on it. Everybody
stopped working on it
-a year ago.
-And whose fault is that?
-People leaving.
-Who left?
-Alaviaa left.
-She didn't leave.
She's gone back to India.
She's coming back.
Are you thinking before saying something?
Excuse me, there was nothing
to come back to. So, I don't blame her.
Like, you guys were not even
Imagine what a fuss it was
to just decide who gets what room.
And is she gonna come back to live here
in the laundry room?
Have you met Alaviaa?
That's not gonna happen.
If you really wanna get somewhere in life,
you need to learn how to blame
everything on yourself, but others.
Own it. That this is your problem,
and you need to start working around it.
And how many times have I given
all of you so many opportunities?
How many trips? How many things?
How much money?
We've gone to so many different places.
Traveled to such corners of the world.
And the only person I can see
taking advantage of, is her.
She's done something of it.
-That's not even the key
-Excuse me.
-As soon as
-I do think
-Can I When I'm talking,
-I do believe
please let me talk.
I was saying something.
I'm not a very bright child.
I forgot what I said.
What's the sudden urge of you
expressing these opinions
right now?
Because she's the creative director.
-Of course
-Not for long.
-What do you mean?
-Am I fired?
Hardik has walked in deciding that
he can just fire whoever he wants.
See what's happening again.
He's calling the shots again.
Just letting you know.
That's a great example.
How I try to assert myself
and you've just
-stepped on my assertion.
-It's not about you asserting yourself.
It's me trying and begging for you guys
to take control.
No, I just wanted to feel like it.
It doesn't feel like mine.
It still feels like it's yours.
I want to feel like the second in
I would wish if you'd just get up one day
and start acting the role of a CEO.
I don't just wanna be the CEO.
Like, I wanna also feel
like it's my company.
What we need over here
is an administrative CEO
who can take care of everything that a
company is supposed to be taking care of.
And then you'll also try to replace me.
So tomorrow, you can find
a younger version of an Alanna.
She can find a younger Srush.
And we can start
a whole generational company
that is scalable in some way.
For that, every role and responsibility
needs to be revisited.
And I'm currently working on that.
I'm also thinking that
it wouldn't be that bad.
I'd like to just concentrate
on creating content.
And not be held responsible
for every small thing.
Administrative CEO, who are you?
[in English] Guys, Alaviaa is here
and so is her baggage.
Namaste, mother-in-law.
Alaviaa, if she doesn't want to
then you can't force it.
Hello, am I your servant?
Lakmé has been collaborating with bigger
content creators, so why CollabTribe?
People who have no followers.
No, I don't need that favor.
[in Hindi] You have to work!
[in English] It doesn't really make sense.
[tense music plays]
The reason why I had to step in
is because it's really bad planning.
Shut the f*ck up.
[Alaviaa] I don't think I've ever
seen them fight.
If you say it nicely,
everything can be done.
What do you want me to do?
Sit on your head?
[tense music intensifies]
