I think So to. she Smiled and left.

And the man juSt watched.

I can't underStand
what her Smile could mean.

It'S ageS Since we met...

No, Amar. I wanted to embrace you.
But you had a big man for company.

What would he think?
You're friendS with a waiter?

A mere bellboy?
- To hell with him.

I'm your friend.

Don't you know what real friendS are?
Don't you know how I feel for you?

All right. Forgive me, my friend.

You appear to be an officer
in Some big company.

YeS. I'm the branch manager
for WilSon and Company.

You mean you only Sign thingS.
How much iS the Salary?

2000 RupeeS.
- 2000 RupeeS! Gawd!

Which meanS even your peon
makeS more than I do!

I'm paid 50 buckS every month.
- Cut the crap and Sit here with me.

And let'S talk in the old Style.
- You've made it big, Amar.

Had you Studied Sincerely...
you'd have made it big too.

How could I Study? I changed
16 SchoolS to reach ClaSS 4.

You know how intereSted I waS in
dramaticS, rather than in my bookS.

That intereSt and the flattery of
a few other guyS decided my future.

Their flattery drove me mad.
"You're Such a great actor, sunder"

You're a great dancer.

You're going to give the actorS
a run for their money.

And that iS what brought me
to Bombay.

From Bombay TalkieS to Jyoti
studioS, I went everywhere...

For three yearS, I lived on the
bread and frieS at Naaz Cinema.

I Still owe the guyS money.
AS a reSult...

I wore out my footwear,
and all I had waS 10 paiSa.

Ten and ten makeS it twenty.

Forgive me.
- lt'S okay.

I had ten paiSa, found ten more,
and now thiS ten makeS it thirty.

What will you have?

What'S thiS?
- lce-cream.

And thiS iS almond halwa?
- YeS.

DiSguSting! I don't want to
even look at it!

For me, get a yogurt-and-frieS.
And Some idliS.

Two plateS of Sambaar too.
- 2 plateS.

Why Scream? They Serve
lentil-curry free in every hotel.

Don't Stare at me.
Out with the money.

Money...?
- Why did you eat without any money?

I thought I had the money, Sir.

Take him inSide, Chaman.
And get the money out of him.

How'll they get the money out of him?
- He waSheS 60 diSheS.

60 diSheS for 30 paiSe?
- Oh yeS.

I believe, you muSt check your pocket
before you Step into an eatery.

The bloody freeloaderS.
How much iS my bill?

30 paiSe. D'you want anything more?
- I don't want to waSh utenSilS.

- Life haS conned me, Sir.

Where do you waSh the diSheS?
- What do you mean?

for the 30 paiSe.

You appear to be a poor man.
- If I were a rich man, Sir...

thiS torn pocket would Set a trend.
People would tear their pocketS...

to imitate me.
- Want a job?

What elSe can I aSk for?
I'm game, Sir.

Any experience at being a waiter?
- What'S So great about it, Sir?

I tell the cuStomer what he'S eating

We're very happy now.

Let'S go and meet her.

I'll arrange for a houSe tomorrow.
You and sunder will live with me.

You know how sunder iS, Amar.

He'S a Self-reSpecting man

But you will live with me now.
- You don't know, Son...

motherS never deSert a Son who'S

other Stuff. Take it inSide.

Check out the board.

I forgot to tell you
Something important.

That'S why I came
running after you.

I've lied to ma that I'm
the manager of the hotel.

Don't you tell her that
I'm a mere waiter there.

It will break my mother'S heart.

What way of Stretching iS that?
- You don't know, ma.

It hurtS to work in the officeS.
There'S So much to do.

People normally have one table
for one man. I have So many!

People Sit plonked on chairS...
and I keep moving around.

From thiS table to that...

Well done!

You're laughing?
- Who elSe will, if not my ma?

Don't talk about it.
- When there are a Stack of fileS...

on my deSk, I throw them all away.

From office? Which office?
- The hotel'S office...

there are many departmentS.
- Which department are you in?

Catering.
- What do you do?

You're grilling me like a lawyer.
AS if I've committed a crime!

What bigger crime than a Son cheating
hiS mother and lying to her?

What lieS have I told you?
- Haven't you lied to me...?

You are a waiter in that hotel!
Why don't you Speak?

YeS, ma. I'm a waiter
in the hotel.

But that'S the only lie I told you.
- The only lie.

How much of Salary do you get?
- 50 RupeeS.

You give me 50 rupeeS every month.
Where do you get the other 50 from?

Do you think I Steal the money, ma?
- A liar can even Steal!

I don't Steal, ma. I carry lunch for
School-kidS during my afternoon break.

Why did you hide all thiS from me?
No work iS bad.

I didn't tell you becauSe
it would make you Sad.

I'm Sad now becauSe
my Son haS lied to me.

so forgive me, ma.
I'll never lie again.

I'll turn turtle for you...
- Do anything.

I'm not going to talk to you.
- I won't talk to you either.

I won't eat. I'll Starve to death!

Who aSked you to eat?
- When did I Say Someone aSked me?

One little lie I told you
and you create a Scene!

How about the lie you told me?
- What? Have I lied to you?

You have alwayS lied to me!
- When have I lied to you?

Don't you alwayS Say,
"sunder iS So handSome..."

"he'S So good-looking.
AS radiant aS the Moon..."

ISn't that a lie?
- Not at all, Silly boy...

that iS not a lie.
It'S the truth.

For me, my Son, you are even
better looking than God.

And not even God meanS
more to me than you, ma.

And whatever I did waS
only becauSe I worShip you.

Forgive me, ma. PleaSe.

Ma, I waS kidding when I Said
I'd die of Starvation...

I'm very hungry.
- Come.

Take a look at thiS Snap, dear.

He'S an educated boy who
holdS a very nice poSt.

Do you like him?

Even educated girlS bluSh when
they hear about their marriage.

He'S coming to meet you
at 4 p.m. tomorrow.

"lt waS perhapS for thiS day..."

"that you came into my life
aS my Saviour"

"You have filled
my heart with love"

sunder? Welcome?

What'S in that bundle?
- I prayed for my dad'S Soul today.

I brought Some food.
- Really? Give it to me.

It'S So deliciouS. It'S ageS
Since I ate what Ma made.

One muSt Sweeten hiS tongue before
Setting out for Something nice.

What nice thing are you going for?

I'm going to look up
a bride for mySelf.

Great! But I've already
found a bride for me.

Really? Who'S it...?
- Her eyeS, her lipS...

she'S beautiful! AbSolutely Stunning!

What are you Staring at me for?

You're So good looking, Amar.
And l...

Can a girl ever fall
in love with me, Amar?

The girl you like iS in
love with you, iSn't She?

That'S what I think. But I have
my doubtS when I look at my face.

she'S really good-looking...
and I'm good looking only in name.

Good lookS aren't really
neceSSary for the male.

Abraham Lincoln and John Bernard shaw
weren't good looking men.

But their name iS etched
in golden letterS.

some men are worShipped
for their qualitieS...

and Some are loved for what they are.
- But I'm a mere buttler!

I've got to be there anytime.
- Anarkali waS a courteSan...

but salim fell in love with her.

What you Say iS making my hopeS grow.
- No matter what you are, sunder...

you muSt never conSider yourSelf
to be Small and petty.

I'm getting courage.
- Love iS blind...

it knowS not barrierS
of richeS and lookS.

That'S exactly why She Said,
"l like you"

Really?
- YeS. We met at a picnic...

She then came to the eatery with
her friendS and left her bag behind.

she returned all alone and aSked me,
"are you married?"

There it iS! she'S in love with you
and wantS to marry you!

IS that true, Amar? Give that
to me on a piece of paper!

Don't avoid it.
Give it to me in writing!

Idiot! You Should've poured
your heart out to her.

Ever Since She Spoke to me,
I've forgotten mySelf.

The truth iS that I even breathe
in the hope of having her love.

I'm afraid, Should She turn me down,
I'll be Sunk...

I cannot live without her, Amar.

I can put my Stamp on it!
she won't let you die.

God bleSS you.

Now tell me who the girl iS.

Who'S She?

Tell me.
- No.

C'mon!
- That girl...

iS the daughter of the owner
of hotel RaSraj. Radha!

What are you thinking about?

I think you muSt improve
your claSS to marry her.

You mean from ClaSS 8
to poSt-graduation...?

I'll grow old by then, Amar.

That'S not the claSS I Spoke about.
You muSt improve on your StatuS.

JuSt don't worry about it.
It'll happen Soon.

You were going to meet your
proSpective bride, right? Hurry up.

No. It'S too late.

Won't that poor girl be diSappointed
when you don't turn up?

No. I know She won't
be diSappointed.

Amar, the day you go meet that girl,
you muSt take me along!

CongratulationS. I'm told you

YeS. How did you get to know?
- From the hotel.

And I'm very intereSted
in your progreSS.

I know.

What iS it...?
- she'S the one!

PleaSe Sit down.
Amar! Get up!

PleaSe Sit down.

I'm So Sorry...
one moment, okay?

sit

ThiS iS Radha. The daughter of
the owner of hotel RaSraj.

And thiS iS my beSt friend, Amar.
Manager of WilSon Company.

ThiS iS the firSt time
you've come here...

and ma'S away at the temple.
so what do I do?

It'S okay! The two of you have
a chat, I'll return in a moment.

I've lit the Stove. But what
am I going to prepare?

some flour halwa! Oh yeS!

You muSt be SupriSed
to See me here?

I'm not SurpriSed. I'm happy.
- May I aSk...

why you didn't turn up the other day?
- l? Why would I turn up?

In that caSe, why did you give
my father the wrong impreSSion?

I think he'S Still under
the wrong impreSSion.

What wrong impreSSion?
- You know that.

Only your father doeSn't know
that you're in love with sunder.

What are you talking about?
- Do not be angry.

sunder himSelf told me.
He loveS you very much.

You muStn't defame a woman.

If you don't want to marry me
you can Say you don't approve of me.

I waS coming over becauSe
I approved of you.

But when sunder told me...
- LieS! He haS told you lieS!

I'll aSk him right now!

How am I to blame if Someone
miStakeS my Sympathy for love?

PleaSe Speak Softly. He Said
you told him that you like him.

I did. I told him that
not once, but many timeS.

I liked hiS innocence, hiS jokeS.
I Still like it.

But that doeS not mean
I'm in love with him.

He doeSn't know much of EngliSh.
He'S too Simple and naive.

That'S exactly why I Showed
Some intereSt in him.

You once met him at the reStaurant
and aSked him, "Are you married?"

YeS, I did.

I wondered how a poor
married man could be making out.

You wanted him to make progreSS?
- Of courSe.

I'm alSo reSponSible for
thiS miSunderStanding.

He miStook Some thingS. And l
fed him Some more wrong notionS.

But why blame me for it? I'll Sort
it out with him right now!

No, Radha... it'll break hiS heart.

The poor man adoreS you and he'S
trying to improve hiS StandardS...

So he can be worthy of you.

And he'll Surely make it big
Some day. He haS the confidence...

and I have faith in him.
You are hiS well-wiSher too.

Can't you change your Sympathy
into love for my Sake?

You are truly sunder'S friend.
I reSpect your SentimentS.

But why are you forgetting
that love happenS not on itS own...

it iSn't induced on Someone'S Say So.
AS for SympathieS, I Still have them.

I know that.
- What you perhapS don't know...

iS that like sunder,
I have made miStake too.

I Saw your photograph and when I got
to know that you were coming over...

I took you for my own, without even
finding out how you felt about me.

ThiS will kill sunder'S
aSpirationS, Radha.

He haSn't any life without you.
- That'S my predicament, too.

You can forget me
becauSe of your friend.

But I cannot forget you
for anyone'S Sake.

What am I to do? I'm caught between
the devil and the deep blue SeaS!

sunder'S aSpirationS muStn't die
before they bloSSom.

Can you do Something for me, Radha?
- I can even die for you...

only don't aSk me to forget you.

Till Such time aS
sunder iS SucceSSful...

we muSt keep thiS
a Secret from him.

BecauSe to have you iS
what giveS him courage.

It'S hiS Support and reaSon to live.
- He will get to know Some day.

Won't he Say I have cheated
and betrayed him?

He'll have a Stronger heart by then.
He'll develop the will to bear it.

The dazzle of fame and SucceSS might
leSSen the paSSionS that rage in him.

We will then diScloSe it to him.

It'll be a favour to me, Radha.
Not to sunder.

"No dearth of SpoonS (SycophantS)..."

"look for you, you will
find thouSandS"

"Here comeS the Storm"

The two of you are So Silent.
And I aSked you to have a chat.

Radhaji, thiS iS the firSt
Sweet day in my life.

And it'S all thankS
to my friend, Amar.

Have Some...
you, too, Amar.

How about you?
- Not me...

I've Sweetened my tongue with the joy!
I'll be happier to See you eat it.

You muSt have Some from thiS.
- In that caSe, wait a minute.

You've both given me So much.
It'S going to be too much of Sweet.

No, not too much of Sweet.

Take what I give you to be bland.
- I'll be reSponSible for that too.

I'm the one who made it.
- The one who eatS...

can be reSponSible, too.
He can alSo make miStakeS.

No. It could be the ignorance
of the one who makeS it.

Or it could be Sheer haSte...
- No, sunder. It'S deliciouS.

I made it in the hope
that you would like it.

Eat.

I muSt leave, sunder.
- Give that to me.

Radha, dear...
- Father!

I'm glad to See you happy today.
- I met Amar, father...

he'S coming to See you.

He had a reaSon for not
turning up the other day.

Where did you meet him?
- That waiter sunder, you know?

He haS got a role in a film.
He haS become an actor.

I went to congratulate him and
met Amar at hiS place.

He'S sunder'S true friend, father.
And he wantS to marry me.

so the two of you have even
finaliSed your wedding?

Oh no, father. I won't do
anything againSt your wiSheS.

suppoSe I Say...
"You can't marry Amar"

I know. My father would
never Say Such a thing.

I See!

Where are you going all dreSSed up?
- I'm going to work.

so why put on airS? You're going
to the reStaurant, aren't you?

Oh no. I've become
a film actor, you See.

Want Some money for buttermilk?
- No, my Stomach iS full already.

sunder... no!
Brother-dear...

Brother-dear? What'S the new name for?
- BecauSe you have become an actor.

May your filmS turn out
to be Silver jubilee runnerS!

May you achieve SucceSS.
And may I grow in Stature too.

All right. I muSt leave.
The director wantS me in early.

Brother-dear... where the Star goeS,
the Sychophant followS him.

What doeS that mean?
- You're a Star...

It waS your father'S ceremony.
- Why didn't you telephone me?

We tried So many timeS.
The lineS were dead.

Ma, what am I to do...?
I juSt couldn't remember.

JuSt becauSe you are SucceSSful,
Should you be reminded...

who your parentS are?
You have Some duty towardS them.

If you can't Spend a day in a year
in memory of your father...

what good iS your fame and money?

Do you know how hurt I am
at your indifference?

Forgive me, ma.

The tearS of thoSe
innocent little children...

made me forget my dutieS.
In my zeSt to help them...

I forgot I had to be home to perform
the riteS for my father'S ceremony.

Forgive me, ma.

If you were there for the
Sake of deStitute children...

there can be no bigger
ceremony than that, my Son.

You're So very great, ma.

Never forget how helpleSS a

I want nothing elSe...
I have juSt one wiSh.

I want to die in my Son'S armS.
That'S all I wiSh for.

I know time iS preciouS for you.

May I aSk you Some queStionS.
- sure, pleaSe go ahead.

If you don't mind, could you
tell uS your age?

You muStn't aSk film artiStS
their age. That'S becauSe...

all lead-ladieS Still
call themSelveS "baby"...

So all the lead-actorS
are Still little kidS.

How far have you Studied?

That'S Something I will
whiSper in your earS.

BecauSe no School in lndia haS
the recordS of my StudieS.

I'm an actor, you See.

What difference do you find in
your earlier life and now?

The anSwer to your queStion
iS there on that wall.

I waS an ugly looking man.
I alwayS hung my head in Shame.

I became a waiter in an eatery.
And then, thankS to my friend...

and the film induStry, I became an
actor. And then a Star. A top Star.

And here I am, before you.
The only difference iS that...

I uSed to make people laugh earlier
without charging them for it.

And today, I charge them money
to try and make them laugh.

Could you tell uS of the difficultieS
you faced in your earlier dayS?

Difficulty iS like a Small Stone.

Hold it cloSe to your eye,
it'll appear to be a mountain.

Look at from a diStance,
it appearS to be Small.

Trample it under your feet...
it remainS hidden.

Difficulty iS what
one makeS out of it.

Good! Do you ever remember the
dayS you Spent aS a waiter?

I can't ever forget thoSe dayS.
I never will.

Which iS why...

Where'S my uniform of the waiter
that waS hanging on the wall?

That uniform looked very obScene
on the grand wall.

I had it removed.
- shut up and put it back there!

Do it.

Madam, aS long aS that uniform
remainS in Sight...

I'm not fazed by my wealth.
I'm free of any arrogance.

Whenever I look down upon the
uniform I once uSed to wear...

do you know what anSwer
I get from the uniform?

It SayS, "lt'S becauSe you wore me
that you have theSe clotheS today"

That uniform doeS not let me
forget my paSt.

I had promiSed ma that I'd never
change even if I made it big.

That iS the uniform which remindS
me of the promiSe I made to her.

sorry, I remember my mother
now that I Speak of her.

It'S time I met her.
- One minute, pleaSe.

One laSt queStion.
- PleaSe hurry up.

When are you getting married?
- Married?

I'll get married. Very Soon.

For your information that'S a very
beautiful part of my life.

something I can never forget.
AS you know...

in lndia, we don't marry
againSt our parentS' wiSheS.

I will Seek my mother'S
permiSSion, too...

and I'm Sure my mother
will give me her approval.

BecauSe I'm going to have
a love marriage.

I'll Send you an invitation.
Make Sure you attend it.

Bring your Staff along too.

My beSt wiSheS to all
the liStenerS.

You have been liStening to an

That'S what I waS liStening to.

I'm going to meet Radha Soon.
- What...?

I'm going to lay my love

I'm not telling you!

I know... what'S going to happen.

You Share the Secret of my love.
You are my beSt friend, Amar.

Pray for me...
you're elder to me, you See.

Well? Will I have to beg for
my beSt friend'S good wiSheS?

I have alwayS been your
well-wiSher, sunder.

That which iS deStined to be,
will be.

Well, all right.

Radha, sunder iS coming
to propoSe to you.

We made a miStake by hiding
the truth from him all theSe dayS.

You muSt tell him everything
before he comeS to me.

Where will I bring the courage from?

I waS Silent all theSe dayS,
becauSe you aSked me to.

I had Sealed my lipS for the
Sake of my friendShip.

If sunder were to aSk me...

if I can't Sacrifice my love
for hiS Sake...

I won't be able to refuSe him.
I don't have the courage to Say no!

sit down, sunder.
I want to talk to you.

I know what ma'S
going to aSk me today.

You've heard about my love-marriage
on radio, didn't you?

That'S what I want to aSk you about.
- Every mother muSt aSk.

But there'S a method to that...
it muSt be done artiStically.

How about a rehearSal, ma?

How do I tranSlate that in Hindi?
How about faking it, ma?

All right.
- Now SuppoSe I'm the mother...

and I aSk, "Well, my boy?
since when have you been in love?"

Don't laugh. ASk it
the way I did.

since when have you been in love?
- Wow! That'S a nice act, ma!

And the Son then SpeakS...
- Why're you digging your noSe?

That'S how it workS nowadayS, ma.
ASk me the queStion again.

since when have you been
in love?

Ever Since we have Set eyeS
on each other, ma...

You go around eyeing girlS!
That'S my line, iSn't it?

YeS, but it'S only a rehearSal.
Go Slow on the Slap.

The Son then tellS hiS mother
in a quivering voice...

"I've been eyeing only one girl, ma"

And the mother SayS, "Are you
going to marry her?"

The Son SayS, "PleaSe give me
the permiSSion to marry her"

What doeS the mother Say?

And the Mother SayS, "Why tomorrow?
Get married to her today itSelf!"

But who'S the girl?
Where iS She from?

I'm not going to tell you that.
That'S the SuSpenSe.

All right. Now let'S begin
at the beginning.

Why muSt l? AS my mother,
you muSt aSk me.

so when are you marrying?
- That'S like hurling StoneS, ma!

ASk me lovingly, So I can
get married immediately.

since when have you been
in love, my Son?

It'S about two or
three yearS now, ma.

so when are you marrying her?
- Marriage? Not yet, ma.

You won't?
- No.

so don't get married!
- Ma! We're only acting!

I'm Sunk!

Look! A film actor!

What a performance he gave
in "Biwi Ka Ghulam"

Hello, Radha.
- You...? Welcome! sit down.

IS your dad in?
- He haS gone out.

I had Something to diScuSS with him.
I'll come again, when he'S around.

LiSten... what iS it?

How can I tell you when
we're all by ourSelveS?

It'S okay. Tell me.
- I've been dying to tell you.

And I've done So many Such
SceneS in filmS, Radha.

But every Scene waS cut
halfway through the act.

That'S how we laughed
when the director meSSed up.

AS I Said... what waS I Saying?

I can't bring to my lipS
how I feel at heart.

How will I tell you...? All right.
No beating about the buSh anymore.

I'll Say it Straightaway.

I've decided to get married, Radha.
- YeS. I heard that on radio.

You did? You heard
everything I Said?

That makeS it eaSy for me!
When I waS giving that interview...

I felt aS if I waS at the wedding
altar, dreSSed aS a bridegroom.

In theSe roSeS are my emotionS, Radha.
They carry the fragrance of my love.

I love you with all my heart...
here you are, Radha.

Do not be Shy. We love each other...

Why are you Silent?

No... No, Radha.

Don't turn me down
and break my heart.

No, sunder. ThiS can't be.
PleaSe forgive me.

I really liked your innocence
and the way you joked, sunder.

That'S exactly why
I fooled around with you.

It waS aS if I waS
talking to my brother...

and joking with him...
that waS the feeling I had, sunder.

I've never had a SiSter, Radha.

Maybe that iS why I couldn't
underStand how you felt.

But I can't believe thiS...
have I really miSunderStood you?

Have you never been in love with me?
- No, sunder. Never.

Don't Say that, Radha.
- I could never imagine...

that Such miSunderStandingS
would crop up...

if an unmarried girl
Spoke to a boy like thiS.

I didn't know that Such trivia
could cauSe you Such anguiSh!

I can See the conSequenceS
of my ignorance, sunder.

You're not the ignorant one, Radha.
It'S me.

No wonder my mother callS me a fool.

I muSt leave now, Radha.

I have no right to give you
theSe roSeS, Radha.

But if you don't mind...

keep theSe roSeS in Some
Secluded corner of the houSe.

Know why?

When I waS coming here happily
with theSe roSeS...

people outSide Saw me arrive.

How can I take back
thiS bouquet now?

They'll laugh at me.
They'll poke fun at my love.

And I can't bear
to See that happen.

I want to aSk you for
a little preSent, Radha.

You'll be amuSed to know what
thiS Silly man haS Sought from you.

It'S not extra-ordinary...
but it'S preciouS to me.

I want nothing much, Radha.
I want thiS waSte-paper baSket.

Know why?

Even if thoSe roSeS are proof
of my idiocacy to you...

for me, they are the reminder
of my firSt and only love.

I don't want them to end up
in thiS waSte-paper baSket.

so I'm taking thiS away.

What you are Saying iS
piercing my heart, sunder!

To hurt your feelingS iS
like killing mySelf, Radha.

I couldn't underStand
your feelingS...

that iSn't your miStake.
It'S mine.

I'm the cauSe of all thiS, sunder.
PleaSe forget all thiS.

What? Forget you...?
All right. I'll forget you.

And I have decided Something elSe.
something very terrible.

I'm going to die.
- No! Don't Say that, sunder!

I'll die... here and now...
or maybe 40 yearS later.

I made you laugh, didn't l?

I've made every man
laugh with my jokeS.

And now... I'm Sad mySelf.

To make mySelf laugh,
I'm cracking jokeS.

I got to know you love me the
day I viSited your houSe, sunder.

And I waS about to tell you clearly
that I am not in love with you.

But your friend Amar
Stopped me from telling you.

He didn't want you
to know the truth...

till you had achieved the
SucceSS you had Set out for.

What Amar Said waS right, Radha.

ThiS truth could perhapS have
killed me then.

I waSn't very Strong at heart.

I want to tell you
Something more, sunder.

It might hurt you when
you get to know.

I'm getting married to
your friend, Amar.

With Amar...?
CongratulationS, Radha!

I'm going to laugh at my defeat!
BecauSe I have loSt to Amar!

I've loSt to my beSt friend.
Amar winS! And I run away!

I muSt congratulate Amar...
I'll tell you why.

What car have we arrived in?
- sportS car, Sir.

Where'S the lmpala?

At the Snap of a finger, my Secretary

There are So many carS and
people waiting outSide.

I didn't do all thiS to
Show off to you, Radha.

I wanted to Show you that an
ordinary waiter of your hotel...

Frankly Speaking,
I like your innocence.

That Silly idiot who didn't
follow one word...

And another word I've learnt now.
Unwanted.

But I'm Saying all thiS to
prove my power to you.

It'S thankS to whom that I have
got all thiS fame and name...?

Who waS the one who took
my name to Such heightS?

The one and only Amar.
My beSt friend.

Amar haS landed the
preciouS diamond...

I could never have.

Who can be happier than I am?

You're crying, Radha?

I can't bear to See anyone cry.

I'm happy. so why are you crying?
so laugh...

I'll Sit on a hunger Strike
if you don't laugh!

I'll feed you the Stuff they Serve
in your eatery, if you don't laugh!

May God keep you ever Smiling.
