I left the shoot half way.
Papa, why are you always late?
Thank God, you're here.
Otherwise she would have locked herself in the bathroom.
We made it on time and so did you.
Papa, did you hear my line? I didn't make any mistakes.
Of course, I did and you stole my heart with it.
Don't go, Papa.
Well...
if I don't, who will organize the special present for your birthday?
Please, Papa. I am a grown up now.
Even when you become an old woman, you will still be my princess.
Would you like to meet my children?
Your children?
It's been three years since I divorced Maya.
The kids are old enough now.
I thought you could become friends with them and then...
Why do you want me to meet your kids?
Because...
I know you are the "strong, silent," types...
but it feels nice to hear it.
Fine, I'll say it.
Don't say it.
Here's your magic wand.
Mom, can I grant wishes with my magic wand?
Just wave it three times, and all the wishes will come true.
Mom, do you want anything?
I don't want anything. I got my wish.
You! What else do I need?
Mom, please tell me again. How was I born?
That night, I was absolutely alone in the hospital.
Papa was not there. He was stuck in traffic.
It was raining heavily.
There was no one with me. Not even the nurse.
Were you scared?
Absolutely scared!
But in a few moments, all my fears vanished.
Because you arrived.
And after that I have never felt scared
because you are always with me.
Mom, even I don't get scared because you are always with me.
That's what moms do. They are always with their children.
Always and forever?
Always and forever.
I was getting Anjali ready.
Magical fairy, who grants wishes.
Yes. Also, get the cake and don't be late. Okay?
He works with you?
Yes. It's a "she." Shreya.
Have you seen my little girl, Anjali?
This is for you. It's special, just like you.
You guys scared me.
You don't need to be scared, Papa. I'm here.
When I have my angel with me, I don't need to be scared, right?
Papa, not an angel. Fairy!
Papa, you've got me a Barbie cake, right?
Of course. You want to see it?
Shreya!
Papa, who's she?
She's a friend. You want to meet her?
Shreya.
What do you mean by "a friend"?
You ruined my cake!
Anjali...
You ruined the party!
She's your dad's guest.
You shouldn't speak to her that way.
How will we have a party without the cake?
There can't be a party without the cake.
That's why I'm going to get a better cake.
They couldn't have had a more entertaining party.
I wanted to be their friend.
I thought we'd get along.
Slowly, you'll become friends with them.
Aaliya!
Where did Aaliya go?
She saw Aman and me together.
Together?
Aaliya!
-Listen to me. -Why should I?
Why did you get her here?
You didn't even think about how we'd feel.
-Or how mom would feel! -I did think about it.
If you had, you wouldn't have brought her here.
Aaliya! Aaliya!
-Aaliya! -Aaliya!
He's my Papa!
Can't you see? You were going to kill yourself and your Papa!
You can't talk to her like that!
If you had stayed away none of this would have happened.
You have every right to lead your own life.
But please, keep it away from our family.
Don't try to involve her into our life.
Mom, just look at my painting. It's the Wicked "Demon" Witch!
Is she Papa's girlfriend?
No, Papa has no girlfriend. He is my Papa.
Then why did he bring her home?
I promise, it won't happen again.
Why don't you do something?
She will take Papa away from us.
She can't do that. Mom won't allow it.
Why don't you understand?
Mom and Papa are divorced.
That means Papa can marry anyone. Even her!
Mom, what if she comes here?
We will throw water on her.
Witches melt in water, remember?
That's why they don't even bathe.
They were monsters in children's disguise.
Really? What did Aman say?
He said everything will be alright.
He wants us to meet again after a few days.
I don't want to meet them.
What happened?
You? Papa was meant to pick us up.
He had to go for an urgent shoot
and your Mom's phone is not reachable.
I will only go with Mom.
Right now, I am all you've got.
Hi, Shreya. Is everything okay?
Aman, I had warned you about this.
Papa, you were supposed to pick us up this weekend.
We were supposed to stay with you.
But what do I do? My photo shoot got delayed.
You guys were alone.
Her phone is off.
Papa, I'm not going anywhere with her.
Aaliya, she is not that bad.
She left all her work to help you guys.
You are the eldest and you understand better.
I know you will help her.
I'll just clean your Papa's room.
You guys sleep here, right?
Where will you sleep?
Upstairs, in the guest room.
Why is Mom's phone switched off?
I don't know. Maybe you guys troubled her so much...
that she's taking some time off.
What is this?
If I eat this will I fall asleep for a hundred years like Snow White?
Not at all.
I want my Mickey Mouse plate and bowl.
Please try some.
You are not our mother. Got it?
I know! And I don't want to be a mother to brats like you.
I shouldn't have said all that.
You guys haven't eaten. Please, eat this.
Ever since we have met, things have been going wrong.
When I said I didn't want to be your mom...
I meant, that you already have one.
I can't be her.
But we can be friends, right?
You left me alone with the kids!
Where's Aman?
What are you doing with my kids?
He's in Paris. His shoot was delayed.
Kids! Your mom has called. Talk to her.
Hello, Mom, the Wicked "Demon" Witch has kidnapped us!
Hello, Mom. Where are you?
Baby, I didn't know your Papa would not come.
So then come right now and take us away.
Sorry! I am stuck!
I had promised Aunt Prabha
that I'd spend the night with her. She's alone.
When will you come? We don't like her.
Tomorrow morning.
If I had my magic wand I'd have got you here in a second.
But I left it at home.
So what? We don't need a magic wand to meet.
And now close your eyes.
There's a huge cloud around you.
On that cloud, there's a table.
And on that table, there's a huge cake.
Can you see it?
Be patient, you'll see it.
When the cloud will float close to the moon...
you'll see everything clearly.
Mom, I can see it now. It's a strawberry cake, right?
There's ice cream as well.
Come fast or else it will melt.
Coming, darling! You take care, okay?
It's chilly. You shouldn't be having ice cream.
Where's the breakfast?
-I didn't make it. -Why?
-Did you brush your teeth? -No.
-Did you make your bed? -No.
So then, no breakfast. It's the rule of this house.
Everyone has to work.
My job is to make breakfast
and yours is to keep yourselves and the room clean.
I'll be right back!
Why is it locked? I'm calling Papa right now.
The phone's in the living room.
Should I give you the number?
Listen, you can't do this.
If Mom finds out, she will kill you!
I have her number too. You want it?
What do you want?
I brushed my teeth.
There's no need to listen to her. Don't you remember
how she ruined your birthday cake?
I have folded all the sheets.
Ankush!
Okay, kids. You have 15 minutes to finish your breakfast.
I have to go out and your Mom isn't her yet.
So I guess you guys have to come with me.
Where are we going?
Enough with the questions. You'll see when we get there.
Shreya!
You called us monsters?
You called me the Wicked "Demon" Witch, right?
This can't be happening!
Do something, Zubie!
Shreya Arora!
What?
But promise me that you'll give it back. It's my Mom's.
Shreya! Shreya!
I won because of you.
But why the "congratulations"?
Partner, right? So what do I get?
That will take some time.
I'll have to steal it from a princess.
Will ice cream do for now?
Shall we, partner?
-"D"? -D as in the Wicked "Demon" Witch!
You guys coming?
And Aaliya?
You guys sit here and I'll be back with the ice creams.
Mom never allows us to have ice cream before lunch.
Can't you see what she's doing?
-She's getting us ice cream. -Yeah.
No! You are both stupid. She wants to marry Papa.
She wants to take him away. That's why she is buttering us.
If you become her friend, she will take Papa far away from us.
Papa will go away because of you!
Ankush!
It's ice cream. Not poison.
Who knows? You touched it.
That's why I didn't give you breakfast.
And here's one for Anjali. Where's Anjali?
Anjali!
Where's Anjali?
-Call Mom and Papa as well. -Yes.
Mom?
Thank God you are here, Mom. I knew you'd find Anjali.
Where's Anjali?
Aman, I swear
I just looked away for a second.
Papa...
Aaliya says D is going to take you far away.
No one can take me away from you guys.
My photo shoot got delayed, that's why, I couldn't come.
I sent Shreya to you guys. To take care of you, okay?
I should have been there.
Yes, you should have been there.
How could you leave our kids with her?
What does she know about kids?
She behaves like one herself. How will she take care of mine?
Our kids.
Do you even know what could have happened today?
Yes. But nothing happened, right?
I understand you were scared.
So was I, but she didn't do any of this deliberately.
But I'm not going to allow it again.
We had promised each other--
We had made other promises to each other too, Aman.
Don't vent it out on him.
This is not easy for the both of us.
So let me make it easy.
I'll get an order from the court tomorrow
that my children can never be with her alone.
Then there will be no problem.
Maya!
-Aman-- -It's okay. You won't get it.
I'll meet you at home.
Maya.
Maya, please don't go to the lawyers.
Think about the kids.
That's exactly what I am doing.
But I know it's not only about them.
You know nothing's gonna happen to them.
I don't want to lose her.
Nor the kids.
I promise you, Nothing will happen to them.
When we couldn't make things work...
why do you think its going to work out with her?
I don't know.
But I want to try.
She cannot meet the kids without my supervision or permission.
Aaliya?
Why did Papa leave us?
We used to fight a lot.
Over the smallest of things.
Why did you guys fight each other?
Sometimes, adults are complicated.
They can love someone a lot and yet find it tough to live with them.
I'm never going to marry.
Of course, you will.
And you will have a grand Indian wedding.
Garlands, processions...
And I will put henna on your hands.
Mom, what if Papa loves Shreya more than us?
That will never happen.
So...
will you tell me what happened?
Everything's been sorted out.
The way she spoke to me, it was just ridiculous.
Everything was going well. Anjali and I had hit it off.
Then this happened...
I promise, next time I won't let them out of my sight!
Shreya, there's not going to be a next time.
You have to stay away from the kids.
I have promised Maya
that you won't go near the kids without her permission.
I know I made a mistake.
But Aman my life is incomplete without you and yours, without them.
Let Maya handle the kids. She knows them.
And I'm not?
I'm not a mother, that's why I don't know anything, right?
That's not what I meant, Shreya.
If both of you give different advices to the kids, they will be confused.
And that's not good for the kids.
Then what are you doing with me?
This is not good for the kids either.
Why don't you just go back to them?
But that's the truth.
Why don't you go back?
-Maya-- -Will I be alright, Doctor?
I'm doing everything you asked me to.
You have cervical cancer.
So... now do I need to get operated?
You have to start radiotherapy.
Maya, I feel it's time to tell Aman about this.
Just learn to count your life in moments instead of years.
Come on!
Ankush, don't forget your water bottle in school.
Aaliya, the book that you misplaced, I have put it in your bag.
It'll get soiled. Come on, now.
I have been consulting a doctor.
The kids will need you.
I'm coming back.
Don't tell her.
I won't.
I shouldn't have left you like that.
Shreya, I'm going back.
To live with Maya and the kids.
I will never do it again.
I won't interfere with the kids.
Aman!
Aman! Aman!
Like us, Papa?
Just like us.
A new day has arrived again
There are new desires again
There is a renewed love
In the remote corners of the heart
Hidden desires
Many of them, in many hearts
What happened and why?
The heart seems to be As quiet as a shrine
May the blessings Shower on us again!
May the blessings give a sign again!
May the blessings Shower on us again!
May the blessings Make this a heaven again!
Look at how lonesome
I seem without you today
Just like a moment
Lost in the sea of time
Come and reconcile Come and cheer me up
I won't be able to live in such sadness
The memories ask me every single moment
Why are there tears in your eyes?
May the blessings shower on us again!
May the blessings give a sign again!
I think you should tell the kids.
What do you mean by that? You said the treatment is going fine.
It was going fine, but not anymore.
Then try another treatment.
There are so many people who survive cancer these days.
Cervical cancer has protective measures but Maya's case--
Maya!
She's asking us to tell the kids.
You know what that means?
How will we tell them? What will we tell them?
That their mother is dying.
How does one do that?
I don't know.
And I don't want to do that
because I know you are going to be all right.
I'm not Anjali.
Mom, look at my painting!
-One second, Anjali. -Mom, look at my painting!
-One second, Anjali. -Mom, help me with this please.
-Mom, please, please help me. -Aaliya, just...
Mom, I need a dinosaur picture. Please download it.
-Mom, please! -Mom!
Ankush!
You guys win!
The winners will feed the losers.
Mom, what's gotten into you?
Today, I am not your Mom. I'm Anjali.
I want to tell you something.
We know it. You and Papa are a couple again.
Actually, I'm not well.
Do you have fever because you were playing in water?
Not fever.
When...
When germs attack our body there are special soldiers in our body...
who fight them and kill them.
But sometimes the soldiers make a mistake and...
start attacking our body.
I'm being treated by a special doctor.
An oncologist. She has--
Oncologist? You mean, a cancer specialist?
You have cancer?
Yes...
Aaliya, please trust me...
nothing is going to happen to Mom.
Why should I trust you?
You always lie.
You said you would never leave us.
But you did.
And now, you too?
Mom, where are you going?
Nowhere, my child.
Nowhere.
Papa, what happens when people die?
I don't know. Actually, no one knows.
Different people have different beliefs.
But Mom says people become stars when they die...
and they look after us from above.
I have tried to explain it many times that stars are not people...
but made of molten material. But, she just doesn't get it.
Well, you see my little scientist...
sometimes even when your mind knows so much about the universe...
it still listens to your heart.
Maybe someday science will realize
that what our heart says is the real truth.
Maybe when we die, we do become stars and watch from above.
Is Mom also going to be a star?
Never.
Because we will never let that happen.
We'll hold her tight.
Aman is not home.
I'm not here to meet him.
I am sorry to intrude...
but I got something for Anjali.
What?
I know I shouldn't be here.
But I had promised Anjali.
It'll only take a minute.
What's in this?
The one with the diamonds? Is it real?
It has rubies and sapphires too.
I stole it from a very beautiful princess for you.
Don't tell anyone, okay?
Got something for Ankush and Aaliya too.
They are upstairs.
Thought you'd like it.
Aaliya's inside.
But she's asleep.
So early?
Aaliya!
Where? Who's she gone with?
She went alone to Candy's house.
Her parents are out. It's a sleepover.
Why didn't she tell me?
Are you sure it's just a sleepover?
I heard over the phone that there's going to be beer...
and boys too.
I don't know why Aman's not answering the phone.
I got the address.
Aaliya?
Aaliya!
-What happened? -Aman.
Why didn't you answer your phone?
It's all my fault.
I had promised Aaliya that I would take her to the fashion show.
So I took her and dressed her up a bit.
Did you know this?
Did you give her permission?
No. She didn't know.
That's why she came looking for her and called you.
You will never come anywhere close to my kids.
You want to know why, right?
Everyone laughs at me.
No one wants to be friends with me.
They say I'm "uncool."
But you don't let me do anything.
I don't need you.
In any case, you are not going to be around much longer.
Hang on, Aaliya. I am not doing this willingly.
You think this is easy for me?
I fight everyday so that I can live a little longer
just for you guys.
May the blessings shower on us again!
May the blessings give a sign again!
May the blessings shower on us again!
May the blessings give a sign again!
Mom, what if she comes here?
We will throw water on her.
Witches melt in water, remember?
That's why they don't even bathe.
Maya?
Are they yours?
You didn't have to take all the responsibility that night.
I didn't do it for you.
I need to talk to you.
I want to tell you something.
But I can't do this.
Why?
I'm a career woman, Maya.
Not exactly the "Mom type."
Being a woman makes you the "Mom type." Let me tell you
Let me tell you, every girl has this Mom formula hidden in her
as soon as she is born.
Career women like you forget this.
But when the time comes you will remember everything.
Scared that you will fail?
Don't blame me if things go wrong.
Only if I'm alive by then.
Mom, who's coming?
My friend.
Why is she coming to stay with us?
To help me.
That won't be necessary.
She is here.
Maya, what are you doing?
What else can I do?
When I'm gone, they'll need a mother.
No one can take your place.
This room is yours.
Shreya...
If I was in your place I'd do the same.
What happened?
Tomorrow I have to recite a poem in class.
Mom is too sleepy.
Let D help you tonight.
D must be busy.
We will work together.
You help me with my drawing and I'll help you with your poem.
I like drawing more anyway.
I think, I'll be a designer like you.
I'm going to be in publishing, like Mom.
Aaliya!
I want to be a cosmonaut.
It must be tough living with these girls.
And now you have got one more.
You can never take Mom's place.
I know.
I don't even want to.
Then why are you here?
So that I can help her.
But without your help, none of this will be possible.
D, look what he's doing!
What are you guys doing here?
The school bus will leave in ten minutes.
The kids are not going to school today.
Says who?
Me.
Ten minutes! We can still make it!
I thought you would want to spend some time with the kids.
They don't have to be reminded every day that
I won't be around much longer.
-D, please solve my problem. -D, just tell me...
D, help me first.
Shreya.
Anjali you have to drink this milk.
Don't you get tired...
working like a machine all day?
Everyone is enjoying here.
Anjali refused to leave the birthday party.
When do we have to pick her up?
Let's try in an hour.
I don't know what I'll sing
I'll just blabber something
I'll say whatever I feel
Move aside and dance wholeheartedly
Say, let's rock
I forgot the wordings completely
I don't know what I'll sing
I'll just blabber something
I'll say whatever I feel
Move aside and dance wholeheartedly
Say, let's rock
I forgot the wordings completely
Why fear the night?
Our lives have Brighten up with the stars
I am going to live every moment
Of life which is coming my way
Whatever you say is absolutely correct
The happiness is bigger than the sorrow
Live every moment Fulfill your dreams
Who's seen tomorrow?
I don't know what I'll sing
I'll repeat the same thing
How can I sing better than this?
Your words have blown my mind
I forgot the wordings completely
-Oh my sweet -Heart
-I -Agree
-I came -I like it
-This ambiance -Is crazy
This is a new face
You never noticed my love for you
I don't know to sing I don't know the tune
Still I'll dance wholeheartedly
What a lovely evening! Full of happiness
When we clapped From both the hands
I'll dance with you I'll sing with you
I'll follow your moves!
I don't know what I'll sing
I'll just blabber something
I'll say whatever I feel
Move aside and dance wholeheartedly
-Say, let's rock -Let's rock!
I forgot the wordings completely
I got Stuart Little for the kids.
I know they are not allowed on weekdays but let them watch it.
I forgot my project at home. My sneakers wore out!
My math test results came in and I have done terribly!
How will anyone be in a good mood?
Did you understand a word?
I'm speaking Hindi, aren't I?
Talk in the P-language and everyone will get it.
Pipi lapanguapage ipits vperepy eapesepy.
Ipy thipink...
Ipy gopot ipit!
Yepes youpoo dipid!

Hey, guys! How was school?

What are you saying? I don't understand.

Ipits sipimpaple!
Hipi dapad!
Ankush, speak properly. I'm sure he doesn't know either.
I'll change and be right back.
Youpu gapuys hapave fupun. Ipy wipill be bapack!
Feeling better?
Today we will watch Stuart Little.
Today?
One of Zee Chef's healthy snacks.
Hey, guys. What's happening?
We are making peanut butter cookies.
Spit it out!
What do you think of yourself? It was a cookie, not poison.
You called me here, didn't you?
When everything is going well, the kids are getting friendly...
you have started this new game?
What's your problem?
Anjali is allergic to peanuts.
If she eats them, she can't breathe.
We'd have to rush her to the hospital.
If you had read the list you would've known.
I have read the list!
But it's so long that I can't remember everything!
How?
When will you learn to take care of the kids?
You behave as if you have always been this perfect.
You didn't start this perfect, did you?
You must have taken time to learn.
Yes, I did. But not as much as you.
Haven't you learnt anything from your mom?
No! I haven't!
I was six months old when she died.
Maya, I can't do this anymore.
I just can't!
What is this, Maya?
I am just doing the right thing.
If something had happened to Anjali...
-She's not right for the kids, Aman. -How will she be right?
You don't allow that to happen.
Aman, you don't know--
There's a limit to being stubborn.
You want to give the kids a normal life...
but they are only getting confused.
They don't understand all of this.
They don't take long to love someone
but it takes a long time for them to forget.
We all care about the kids.
You're not the only one.
Aman, I was just--
What? Trying to protecting them?
Stop getting the kids into all this, Maya.
And till you don't accept her...
she will never be right for the kids.
Maya?
Papa.
The medicines had some side effect on her.
Shreya--
You take care of Maya...
I'll take care of the kids.
If you go away
This world will be full of solitude
All these stories
Will get faded away
Every happiness is related to you
There's nothing without you
We love you, we ask for you
Oh sky, listen to our prayers
Come let's weave
Little little dreams together
I promise you that
I'll not leave you
We want to live for you
We won't get angry with you
No matter you take our life
But we'll not let you go
I am here to grant you three wishes.
I want to be home for Diwali.
Let Mom rest.
Just a minute, Papa.
My kids should always be by my side.
And give it a good thought.
I wish...
that D was here.
Call her in.
Mom, how did you know?
By this.
This.
And this.
All of you are looking crazy.
D, Mom's third wish was that you should be here.
Were they really looking crazy?
Anjali was three...
when she nearly died.
It was my fault.
How could you make a mistake?
You are a perfect Mom.
We were in a mall...
and she was crying, throwing tantrums.
I gave her a packet of biscuits without even looking at it.
Why didn't you tell me then?
You can't do this.
They need you. Not me.
You've known them all their lives.
Every story, every wound, every tear.
You are their mother.
You will learn too.
I'm scared.
Why?
After a few years when Aaliya will marry...
and I will help her get ready for the wedding.
Do her hair...
and adorn her with jewellery...
at that moment she will be thinking,
"I wish my Mom was here today."
And I'm scared that she won't.
But why does she have to choose between us, Shreya?
She can love us both.
I have their past.
But you have their future.
So what do we do now?
Now, we'll have to wait and watch.
But chances of improvement are very low.
We will take her home.
She can't spend her last days in the hospital.
This is for you.
Whenever you'll wave it, I will be here.
Even if you don't see me, remember I'll always be there.
Always?
Always and forever.
Are you scared?
A little.
I know magic.
Even if you don't see me I'll always be there.
Your Papa had given me this ring...
as a wedding gift.
You can't hold on to relationships too tight.
Sometimes they work, sometimes they don't.
There's only one way to fulfill them.
With love.
Whenever you look through these into the sky, always remember
that I love you.
The kids chose this outfit for you.
The box.
I kept them for Aaliya and Anjali.
Give these bracelets to Aaliya at her wedding.
These earrings were my Mom's.
They are for Anjali.
Tell Aaliya that she's the most beautiful bride in the world.
You remember your lines, right? Where's Aaliya?
Aaliya?
Papa!
I won't be able to do this!
But we have to do this for your mom.
Mom...
We love you, always and forever.
If we laughed
Your whole world laughed with us
If you're here,
Then this place is always blissful
We're a part of your soul
And you are close to our heart
Always and forever
As long as we live
Always and forever
As long as the stars Twinkle in the night
Always and forever
It will always be about you
Always and forever, You will stay in our hearts
I could not give you the kind of love
That you rightfully deserved
This mistake would not have happened
But where was I in control of myself?
Your tears become mine
I wish I could be your remedy
Always and forever
As long as we live
Always and forever
As long as the stars Twinkle in the night
Always and forever
It will always be about you
Always and forever, You will stay in our hearts
Keep me in your memories, No matter how far we are
So that you always stay close to me
I'll show you the way
When you face difficulties
Tell your eyes not to weep
Let there be only happiness in them
Always and forever
As long as we are alive
Always and forever
As long as the stars Twinkle in the night
Always and forever
It will always be about you
Now, shall we click a family photograph?
I said "a family photograph."
Always and forever
As long as we are alive
Always and forever
As long as the stars Twinkle in the night
Always and forever
It will always be about you
Always and forever, You will stay in our hearts
These are for you.
Your Mom left them.
She had asked me to give them to you at your wedding.
Sister, come on, the groom is here.
So I did become the "Mom type."
Who would have thought?
Aaliya is getting married and like I said, she misses you.
What are you doing here?
Come on, I need both my parents for the ceremony.
You are the most beautiful bride in the world.
I have their past...
but you have their future.
