Masaba Masaba (2020–…): Season 1, Episode 6 - Episode #1.6 - full transcript

Masaba, there's an investor meeting
at noon today.

Whatever's happened has happened.
Now you better be there to face the music.

Listen, it's gonna be fine.
Don't worry about it at all.

Just avoid social media, okay?

Where are you, my child?
I tried calling you the whole night.

Today's the first day of shoot,
or else I would have come.

Are you all right?

Masaba, ma'am, you have a meeting
with the investors.

Dhairya sir has been calling constantly.

Gehna, I can't deal with anything
right now.

And imagine that you're lying
on a green grassy patch



with beautiful white, fluffy clouds
around you.

And as you float away
on this beautiful cloud,

-going--
-I'm so sorry!

I'm so sorry. I'm really sorry.

I know we didn't
have an appointment today, but...

I really need your help.

I don't know how I'm going
to face the world today.

I knew you would definitely come today,
Masaba.

I saw the videos of your show
on Instagram.

What happened?

That boat fashion show was yours?

I heard that the boat sank.

-I wish!
-Lie back, lie back.

You know, Masaba,
I'm really worried about you.



Since the last few months,
I'm watching you.

You're just spiraling, darling.
You're just spiraling.

But what else should I do?
I'm trying my best!

I agree with you, Masaba.

But maybe, you're just not cut out
for this kind of life.

I mean, fame, success,
isn't everyone's cup of tea, Masaba.

Take my advice to you as a therapist.
I would say...

Take a holiday.

Holiday?

I neither have the time nor the money
for a holiday.

And who's gonna take care
of all the shit here?

Well, facing your inner demons
is not your thing, is it, darling?

I'm sorry, what?

Well, yeah, I mean, you didn't want
to talk about your divorce,

so you announced it on Instagram.

You fought with your mom,
so you moved out.

You were feeling lonely in your new house,

so you called your ex over for sex!

And then, what happened?
You had work tensions, Masaba.

So you reeled in your colleague!

I mean...

Your survival instinct? Very strong.

But, Masaba, for now,

I think you should just leave the country.
Take that holiday.

Fuck, you're so right!

I'm always right.

And you know what?

Spain, I hear,
is amazing this time of year.

No, I don't mean about the holiday.
I mean about me!

I always run away from my problems.
Never faced them.

Masaba!

This is what we call a breakthrough!

I mean, self-awareness!

That is the first step to inner healing.

Maya, darling...

I will get you there, too.

Thank you.

All right, great! Come on.

Four o'clock this evening, I have a slot.
Come then, we'll discuss this in detail.

No, I think, there's been enough talking.

I'm going to go face my problems now.

-Which way?
-This way, to the left.

Yes, I'm just getting water!

-Good morning, ma'am.
-Good morning, ma'am.

Good morning.

Good morning.

Ma'am, is the microphone on or off?

I don't know,
it was on when you gave it to me.

-I haven't touched it.
-Okay, ma'am.

-Okay. Do I have to go this way?
-Yes, ma'am.

-No, no, not at all, sir...
-Good morning!

Good morning, Ms. Neena.
Can you tell if this is a wig?

No, it looks great, looks perfect.

Okay, Ms. Neena is here,
let's do a rehearsal.

-Rehearsal? Why? Let's just do a take?
-No, I would like to do a rehearsal.

Ms. Neena, you're a pro.
You don't need a rehearsal.

Okay, fine.

Let's do a take. If it doesn't work,
then we'll consider it a rehearsal.

-Okay, that should work.
-Okay.

-Let's do a take. Everyone, silent!
-Do I have to sit here?

Set, everyone? We're doing a take.

Okay, and... roll camera, roll sound,
slate in!

Scene 16, shot 1, take 1!

And action!

I think I overate today.

-I'll get something to aid in digestion.
-Hey, no.

You've been far from me all day.
Now, you're not going anywhere.

So I'm supposed to listen
to you burping all night?

Yes. You can't tolerate that much for me?

I wrote a poem. Want to hear it?

It's about the moon.

The moon and its moonlight.

And... cut!

Superb!

You guys were great!

-It was good?
-It was great.

And you thought you needed a rehearsal.

-Was it good or not?
-Very nice!

It's because I rehearsed that...
Hi, Masaba! When did you get here?

-Hi.
-Hello.

I'll be right back.

What are you doing here?

Mom, it was your first shot,
I couldn't miss it for the world.

Okay, tell me how did I do?
Weren’t you watching it on the monitor?

Very good. It was great.

-Yeah?
-Yeah.

This was just a small scene.

After this there are meaty,
performance-based scenes!

Ayushmann was saying
that he's jealous of my role.

Finally! Touchwood.

Hey, listen. Sorry I couldn't come
to your show yesterday.

I heard there was a small goof-up?

Small goof-up, Mom?

It was legendary. I mean...

It's going to go down in history
as one of the worst fashion shows ever.

Really?

So, what now?

What else? I'm your daughter, right?

I'll move on.

My daughter is all grown up!

But she still can't iron her clothes.

Mom, please.

-Ms. Neena, we're ready for another take.
-I'll be right there.

Okay, I’m going.
Will you stay back or leave?

No, no. I have tons of work.
Call me once you're done with the shoot.

All the best!

You're late.

You need a comb.

Are they very angry?

So sorry I'm late, guys.

Finally.

Thank you for gracing us
with your presence.

Look, I'm sorry I'm late.

And I'm sure all of you
are quite upset, but...

What happened last night,
I take full responsibility for it.

And which is why I'm here.

So, let's address any concerns
that we might have.

Address what?

The entire internet is making fun of you.

The brand name is ruined.

Sir, the brand is still mine, right?

I'll take care of the internet.

Yes. Then take care of it.
It's all yours now. I'm leaving.

You said that it would be
a commercial collection. What happened?

I think
you should get your designs approved.

They were really outlandish this time.

Hey!

Let's not push it.

This is no time
to start questioning Masaba's talent.

Let her do her job, and we'll do ours.

Okay?

You have one week to fix this.

-I suggest you get cracking.
-Okay.

Thanks, everyone.

Sir, the light charges
have exceeded the limit.

These damages will incur separate costs.

Sir, the models have made such a mess!

Don't you think we should charge extra
for cleaning?

Ma'am, my resignation.

Why?

Ma'am, I messed up
the whole show yesterday.

Gehna, what happened yesterday
wasn't your fault.

And now you'll leave me in this state?

You're the best assistant I've had.

Thank you, ma'am.

And what's with all these long faces?

Okay, guys,
I know last night was a big disaster...

but being depressed won’t help.

But, ma'am,
we're getting trolled so badly!

And on Instagram, all the bloggers
and pages are making nasty memes about us.

Yes, ma'am. No one’s even looking
at the collection!

Everyone's just making jokes.

You know what? That's what the problem is.

Everyone's talking about the show,
no one’s looking at the clothes.

But I really believe in this collection,
you guys.

-Yeah.
-Yes.

So let's fix it?

But, ma'am, how?

Ma'am, I have an idea.

If you like, I can call the coordinator
and send for some models?

No, a lot of time has been wasted already.

-I have an idea. Follow me.
-Yes!

-Yeah.
-Yeah.

Thanks, babe, you're a lifesaver.

Are you mad?
I get front row seats to your show!

That too vomit-free.

Are those vomit stains?

Same clothes since yesterday.

Dude, you have your entire life
to make fun of me.

Can you give it a rest today?

You came!

Okay, this problem will be fun to solve.

So are you finally
in the mood to talk, madam?

Is talking necessary?

Not for me. And for you?

Neither for me.

Okay, so take off your clothes
and get to work.

Gehna, get Jogi's change, please?

"Take off your clothes"?
I want to know all the details.

I'll tell you everything.

Gehna! Come on, man!

I know you pose at home all the time!
Show me what you've got.

-Ma'am!
-Show us something!

Okay, let me try something.

Nice!

-Look at her, she's blushing!
-Go, Gehna!

Fab!

Jogi, relax your jaw a little bit.

Better?

It's time to face
the original problem, boss.

I need both of your signatures here.

-Give it here.
-Thank you.

What happened?

You could've showered before coming.
I would've handled it.

Look, I've had a really hectic day today.
Let's just get this over with?

I'm joking!
You know you always look lovely.

Thank you.

But what was the hurry?
Why do you need the token amount today?

Our money's stuck, isn't it?

-I really need the money. Don't you?
-Yeah. Obviously.

These people aren't backing out, right?

No, no. Just sign here
and they'll give us the check.

-Hi, Masaba, so lovely to meet you!
-Hi.

Vinay, he's a big fan of your music.

We love this place.
You know, we can't wait to move in!

I love the boudoir, such positive vibes!

Well, it was really
positive for us as well.

-I'm sure you'll have a great time.
-Thank you. Come.

I think they'll be happy here.

That guy is definitely gay.

So what? They can still be happy here.

Well...
at least they'll be happier than us.

Hey, that's not fair!
We had some great times here.

That's true. We did.

Dude, you could've at least
put on some deodorant.

What are you doing here?

Listen... sorry about earlier.

We just sold the house,
and this is the check.

I know it's not enough
but I'm working on it, trust me.

You haven't checked your phone today?

You don't know what's happened?

Have you not been with your phone or what?

Check this out.

Read the reviews.

They're saying,
"Masaba Gupta's done it again.

Fearless.

She's growing from strength to strength.

Hot mess is path-breaking."

Read what Anaita Shroff has to say.

You're going to be
on the cover of Flair Magazine!

Masaba.

Are you crying?

Why are you crying? This is great news!

I've done something right after so long!

These are happy tears?
I thought... I mean, that's...

Of course you've done something right!

So many things you've done right.
I mean, I'm sorry.

I didn't believe in you.

But, you know, the flow...
The creative flow.

And that's what it's about, right?

Masaba.

You want some water?

Don't cry, don't...

Look...

-It's going good.
-You're a nice guy.

Why don't you show this side more often?

Maybe I should let my energy
do all the talking.

I'll just get you a fresh glass, okay?

Wait... "Energy"?

No!

No, no, no!

No, no, no!

Fuck.

Stupid woman.

Hey, isn't it great?

-Hi!
-Masu!

-You look stunning, babe.
-Thank you.

And thanks for putting up the collection
on the cover of Flair. Finally!

What can I say, babe?

Nothing turns me on more than a hot mess,
you know that.

I know, I've met all of your exes.

What a bitch!

-Thank you for coming.
-Thank you!

Have fun, guys.

I need a drink to survive this.

D?

What are you looking at?

Nice party.

Yeah, is the party nice,
or is the hostess?

Drink the juice.

-Hi, Mom.
-Hi!

What are you doing here alone?

-I was talking.
-You like Tina.

Oh, come on!

-Where's your drink?
-Where's my drink?

-I got one thrice and misplaced it again.
-Should I get one?

No, it's okay.
You're coming on Friday, right?

If you're making lamb curry
then I'll definitely come.

Why wouldn't I make it?

-Hi, guys!
-Hi!

-How's the food?
-Yeah, it's good.

Fine? You've eaten?

Ms. Gehna, who are you dreaming about?

-I'm just eating dessert.
-I see.

You like dessert, too?

Eat, eat.

-Hey.
-Hi!

Dude, can you imagine us turning 60?

I already have problems,
why're you making me more depressed?

What?

What's wrong with being 60?
Just look at your mom!

She's in the best fucking phase
of her life!

I can't wait to be 60, dude.

Just wake up as a fabulous 60-year-old
and cut out all this drama in the middle.

No, man, I think drama is fun, though.

You know, if there was no drama,
you'd be bored in one day.

Yeah, you're right.
Cheers to that, O wise teacher.

Yes, Mom. Did you enjoy the party?

Yes! But I'm exhausted and my legs hurt.

But thank you, you threw me a great party.

You're welcome.

For you.

It's your birthday
and you're giving me a present?

Just open it.

Okay.

For your new house!

Oh, my God!

-I love it, Mom, thank you.
-Your print and your name!

I love it!

Thank you.

"The best gift
my mother Neenaji has given me

is the courage to follow my own path,
on my own terms.

And that even if I do stumble
once in a while,

it's important to know
how to pick myself up again.

The journey has been a long
and memorable one,

but I can proudly say
that I've finally learned

to be happy on my own."
