Real-life dating or online chatting?

How to find a true romantic connection
in these times?

To find this out, the IRL,

In Real Love experiment has begun.

Our four singles,
through speed dating in real life,

selected a few people for dinner dates.

And after the dinner dates

they shortlisted
two real-life connections each

with whom they felt a good connection.

Meanwhile, all of the four singles
had online chats

with some interesting profiles,

and solely on the basis of
their pics and chats,

they have selected two profiles each

for video calls.

That means so far,
all four singles have made two online

and two real-life connections.

Now, from among them,
they must find their strongest

real-life and online connections.

And for that, we must continue
our experiment in Delhi,

where our singles
and both their real-life connections

will hang out together.

Wait a minute!

-Both the connections together?
-[in English] Of course!

[in Hindi] Only then our singles
will be able to compare their chemistry

with both of their real-life connections.

[in English] I'm sorry.
Who thought this was a good idea?

[upbeat music]

[music stops]

-[Rohan] Hi!
-What's up?

[in Hindi] I had no idea whatsoever

that there would be any hosts here.

-[in English] Hi!
-How are you?

-[Rannvijay] Good to see you.
-Good to see you.

Both of us were like, "Okay."

"Things are getting serious now."

-[Gauahar] Hi, guys!
-Hi.

-Hi.
-Looking good, guys! Looking good!

Thank you so much. You look amazing.

So do you.

Thank you.

Rohan and Chiragg…

Tell us something about yourselves.
Who are you guys?

So, I'm from Delhi.

[in Hindi] And I'm a musician.
I play sessions as a guitarist.

-[in English] Wow!
-And Chiragg?

Started out as an assistant director…

[in Hindi]
…because I had a passion for writing.

-[in English] Okay.
-Besides that, uh…

I'm also a CrossFit athlete.

[in Hindi] And currently, I'm on
the 32nd rank in India as of this season.

[in English] Oh! We have people.

[light music]

[Rohan in Hindi] I was already aware
that there were two other girls…

…who are going through
a similar experience.

But I didn't know
who they were. I had never met them.

-[in English] Hi!
-Hi!

[in Hindi]
It was a great moment of my life…

[in English] I saw Rannvijay

and Gauahar ma'am.

[in Hindi] I was totally blank.

My excitement level had reached its peak

but I also got worried wondering
what would happen next.

Let me clear up your confusion.

-Yes.
-Please sit.

The experience you both went through

is the same as what they went through.

[in English] All four of you are going
through the same things.

[in Hindi] It felt good to know
that I'm not alone on this journey.

Lately, there is this question because…

-[in English] Life's changed a lot.
-[Gauahar] Yeah.

[Rannvijay in Hindi] Nowadays, if you have
to order food, you have an app for it.

You want to go for a destination,
you are not going through…

[in English] You're just booking stuff.
Everything is online.

But my question…

The question that we are all here
to answer…

[in Hindi] …is, when it comes to love
and relationships,

is online better

or is real-life better?

[in English] I don't know this experience
of meeting somebody online.

How do you trust?

[in Hindi] What happens online?
Please elaborate.

[in English] This is what I've realized
through this experience.

[in Hindi] When you are chatting online
with someone…

[in English] …it's more comfortable,
you can get to know the person initially,

and then decide whether
you want to meet or not.

[in Hindi] I would still have doubts.

Sometimes you find out
they're a completely a different person.

Sometimes, it just so happens
that somebody else is chatting.

-Yeah?
-Then…

[in English] Which means that the question
that we are asking on IRL, In Real Love…

What is better?

It's quite an interesting question,
even with you guys.

[in Hindi]
Everyone was being asked questions…

…and everyone was sharing their stories.

Sakshi, please tell us about
your dating history.

Have you been in relationships?
How were they?

My first boyfriend that I had,
it was puppy love,

-I would say.
-Hmm.

[in English]
He was very orthodox, narrow-minded.

[in Hindi] I could not wear short clothes,
or go to the gym.

I wanted to come to Bombay…

and achieve something
and he was like, "You can't do it."

Oh, my God!
That's one red flag after another.

[in English] Yeah.
So it was my first relation

and I lost my father
when I was really young.

So I was looking
for that kind of feeling, a love…

[in Hindi] Sorry, I mean. When?

[in English] I lost my father
when I was very young, 15.

[in Hindi] Finally, I found a guy
who was pampering me…

but also enforcing authority,
"Don't do this."

"Don't go there. Don't go out
at night." So I started liking it.

[Sakshi in English]
But… Oh, please don't cry!

This is… Really sorry for…

That's okay. Please don't cry.

-No. I lost my dad last year, so…
-[Rannvijay] Yesterday was his…

-one-year anniversary.
-[Sakshi] I'm so sorry.

-No!
-Give her a hug.

[Sakshi chuckles]

[mutters]

Yeah, no… The reason you…

I mean, I connect to that because…

I'll tell you something really strange.

-So I was Gauahar Z. Khan always.
-Yeah.

-And my husband's name also starts with Z.
-Yeah.

-[Gauahar] Strangely.
-Wow.

[in Hindi]
We got married in a rush in 2020.

Everyone was asking why the hurry?

They asked us why we wanted to marry
since we'd met just months ago.

And I don't why I had this impulse…

that we had to get married in 2020 itself.

[in English] And we got married

and I lost my dad just two months later.

So now we know…

-[in Hindi] …why we were in a hurry.
-[in English] Yeah.

Because my dad was destined
to be at my wedding.

So I completely understand
what that means to you

and how you might be looking

for your father figure. Right?

Yeah, I was.

[in Hindi]
So what are you looking for here, at IRL?

[in Hindi] I want somebody
who I may not find in real life…

…and I find him through this show.

[in English]
And maybe I'll be able to connect.

[in Hindi]
Your IRL, In Real Love experience

-has not actually started yet.
-[in English] Yes.

[in Hindi] It starts from tomorrow.

Tomorrow, you all will go to your houses.

-[in English] Yes.
-Okay.

[in Hindi]
And you will also go on a lovely date.

You have gone on speed dates
and after that, dinner dates too.

[in English] And then you guys chose…

-Your connections.
-…two connections each.

-[Rannvijay] Yeah?
-Yeah.

[in Hindi]
Those two connections you picked

are actually already here.

-[in English] Okay.
-Oh!

And they are already in a party.

-They're partying!
-[women cheering]

[upbeat music]

♪ Get out and step for the party ♪

♪ Get me strippin' up my body! ♪

♪ I'm a good girl.
Do you feel me? Ah! Ah! ♪

[Sakshi S.] Hi!

-How are you?
-I'm good. What's up?

Hey!

-You look nice.
-You, too!

Are we just girls here?
I don't see the boys.

I was… I mean, I don't know.

[upbeat music]

-That's a new guy, right?
-Yeah, that's a new guy.

-Yeah. They're interesting. Some singles…
-Yeah! They're interesting!

-Yeah. Calm down.
-Oh, my God!

-Hi!
-Hi!

-[Yatin] How are you?
-Very well! I'm Vidushi.

Vidushi, I'm Yatin.

-Sakshi.
-Sakshi, I'm Yatin.

-Sit. Sit. Sit.
-Okay.

-Good change to see some guys.
-Yeah.

We've just been chilling with girls.

[upbeat music]

Oh!

♪ Oh, la, la, la, la… I want more ♪

♪ La, la, la, la… Just give me more… ♪

♪ Oh, la, la, la, la… I want more ♪

-Hi!
-Hi!

-[Yatin] Hi! How are you?
-[Ashita] I'm good.

-So I'm from Delhi. Where are you from?
-I'm from Shimla.

-[Yatin] Shimla?
-Yeah.

-People from hilly regions glow…
-Absolutely.

-[in English] How have you been?
-All good. What about you all?

Did you get back to your job?

Yes. Two days I was in the hospital…

You were in the hospital? Why? All good?

-Yeah.
-She is a doctor.

You are a doctor?

[upbeat music]

Oh, we have somebody else as well.

-[Virendra] Hello!
-Hi!

[in Hindi] How are you?

-All good?
-Oh, these guys know each other

-like we girls know each other.
-Yeah.

-[in English] Hi! Sakshi.
-Hi, I'm Viren.

So what do you do, Viren?

I happen to be a fitness entrepreneur
and a model.

-Oh, wow!
-Wow! That's nice.

[upbeat music]

Oh, we have one more guy.

What do you do?

I'm just working with a friend
for an infrastructure company

and we manufacture steel drums
and we store bitumen.

Doesn't sound like a lot of fun

but yeah, there are factories
all over the place, the country.

[upbeat music]

-Hello!
-Hey!

-Hi! What's up?
-What's up?

Jagriti!

-How are you?
-[Jagriti] You guys are looking beautiful.

[Sakshi S.] Jagriti, what do you do?

I'm a lawyer.

-[exclaims]
-[women giggle]

-We're scared! No!
-[Yatin] Doctor, lawyer, actress…

-[in Hindi] And…
-This is just wow!

[in English] We got everything covered.

Variety of backgrounds.

[upbeat music]

We have one more person with us now.

[laughs]
Dhruv…

My name is Dhruv.
I am a professional basketball player.

-Oh, wow!
-That's what I do for a living.

I also teach yoga.

-Oh, that's cool.
-I don't teach anymore.

It's just like… that's why I said it.

So I stopped teaching about two years ago.

That's exactly why I said it.

[in Hindi] Suddenly, we saw two people
coming toward us.

Everyone turned around to look instantly.

[upbeat music]

[in English] Rannvijay and Gauahar Khan!

They were right in front of us.

[all exclaiming]

-Oh, my God!
-Oh, sh*t!

-[indistinct chatter]
-I'm going to get a heart attack!

[in Hindi] That moment it actually hit us

where we were.

[all in English] Hi!

[Yatin] This is getting cool… Oh!

[in Hindi] I went blank.

I was star-struck.

-[in English] Of course, we do.
-I love you, Gauahar. Oh, my God!

Why won't we recognize you?

[Gauahar] Thank you! Hi!

[in Hindi]
Now it felt like the show has begun.

In IRL, In Real Love,
what does a connection mean?

[in English] Two people…
One single and one of you

are romantically interested in each other.

-[Gauahar] Yes.
-[in Hindi] And after that, where it goes…

is up to you guys.

-[Gauahar in English] Yeah.
-But…

[in Hindi] At first, the interest
should be romantic from both sides.

As long as this connection exists…

You will remain on this show.

If the connection ends

your journey on IRL ends, too.

[tense music]

[in English] Two of you have connected
with one of our singles, you know that?

I'm just finding out right now. Okay.

-It's crystal clear…
-Oh, you didn't know that?

[in Hindi] Then I understood.
He was also going on other dates…

apart from with me. Alright.

[in English] Good to know.

[in Hindi] Okay. So, now that's clear
and you know who's your…

Obstacle!

-[laughter]
-[Rannvijay in English] Yeah! Crystal!

[in Hindi] Did it happen with anyone that
in your first 10-minute speed date,

you felt that 10 minutes were not
enough, and the impression was odd…

[in English] …but when you went
for the dinner date, it flipped.

-Yeah, it did.
-Happened.

-It happened with me.
-[in Hindi] What happened?

[in English] So with Rohan,
he was not talking a lot

but then, when I went to see him again

my perception about him
completely changed.

-Yeah?
-It was like… I was wrong.

I probably judged him in those 10 minutes

but when I met him again

it was good.

I did not like it, obviously.

I did not like it when Sakshi
was talking about Rohan

because I have my own version
of Rohan, you know,

and I sort of felt a little, like…

A little possessive about that.

[in Hindi]
It's going to be a lot of fun today.

[in English] Today, it's party time.

Okay.

[in Hindi]
But this party is not only for you

because you will be joined by our singles.

-Okay.
-We're also single.

[in Hindi] Tomorrow…

-[in English] There'll be a special date.
-There will be a special date.

And on your basis of interaction today,

they can only choose one
out of the two of you

to go on a date tomorrow,

and that date, let me tell you,
is special.

[Gauahar] It's very special.

There you will get an opportunity to even…

go further
and get your connection even stronger.

I don't know. I can't describe it.
I was really nervous

and I was excited
and I wanted to be chosen.

I wanted to be on the special date.

It's about these connections on IRL.

Explore it, have fun and party hard today!

-Yes. Party time.
-Thank you.

-Thank you so much. See you guys.
-Thank you.

[upbeat music]

[in Hindi] All four of them came together.

I knew about two of them.

I realized that these two girls…

are the connections of the four guys.

[in Hindi] Dhruv, which one is yours?

-Which one is yours?
-Which one is yours?

[in English] Hi!

Hey, you guys!

-Welcome to our beautiful place.
-[Sakshi] Beautiful, beautiful people!

I missed you so much!

Thank you for coming back. Coming soon.

[Vidushi in Hindi]
He came and hugged Ashita first.

And I was also just like,
"It's okay, he will come to me".

-[in English] Meant to meet.
-Oh, yes!

-How are you?
-I'm good. How are you?

-So disappointed…
-Why?

For not seeing you obviously.

Because I was expecting you right
from the moment I entered and I was like…

[in Hindi]
If both of them come to greet you,

for how long to greet each person,

and for how long to talk to them

got me a little tense.

-Hi, Sakshi. How are you?
-[Sakshi] Hello! How are you?

-How are you?
-Pink today, huh?

-[in Hindi] Yeah!
-Your favorite color on you. I love it!

[Sahib laughs]

-[in English] You are standing out.
-Yeah.

I'm glad you are standing out.

[light music]

-I just got this.
-Keep it here.

I mean, I cannot trust anyone with this…

[in Hindi] …because it's very fragile.
It could break.

Just like my heart.

[in English] Okay.
[chuckles]

[Chiragg] What's up, doctor?

[Ashita]
I was just waiting for you to come.

-ASAP.
-[Chiragg] That's what she said.

[Ashita laughs]

-Yeah, you have that charm…
-You are not going to drink, I'm guessing.

Do you want me to?

I want you to do what you want, not me.
It's your choice.

[in Hindi] This is what I love about you.

Oh, man!

♪ Everybody wants to crash our party ♪

♪ That's alright
If you don't mind acting a fool ♪

Toss this into any glass

and that glass I've to drink. Okay?
And if I put it in this

-you've to drink. Yeah.
-That's all?

-[in English] That's all.
-[in Hindi] So basically,

-you have to throw it in the basket.
-[in English] There's no rules. Basket.

-That's pretty simple. Yeah.
-Thank you for using the word.

[laughs]
[in Hindi] It was nowhere close.

[exclaims]

[muttering]

-Whoa!
-[in English] Let's get it.

-[women whooping]
-You can choose.

[upbeat music]

[cheering]

So what do I owe the doctor
for a consultation?

-So many things I can name.
-[laughs]

[laughs]

I don't know if I should.

[inhales, exhales sharply]

-Easy.
-Yes.

-That's better.
-Hi, handsome.

[giggles]

[in Hindi]
Gosh, the way you keep flirting…

-I feel…
-It comes naturally when I'm with you.

I feel like I'm playing
from the non-striker's end,

and then you are the batsman

who is just playing on a front foot…

[in English] …and I'm like, "sh*t, man!
I don't have a comeback line to that."

I don't have a comeback flirt to that.

[in Hindi] I feel quite strongly

about my connection with Chiragg.

I feel that on an emotional level

and on a mental level,
we both are strongly connected.

[in English]
The best thing that I like about you

is your intelligence.

You do? Thank you.

And empathy. Your eyes reflect that.

They do?

That was a very stupid move. I apologize.

[screaming happily]

[laughter]

Chug! Chug! Chug! Chug! Chug! Chug!

[exclaims]

[in Hindi] After the party started,

the first thing that I noticed

was that Rohan took Jagriti to one side.

They were sitting together.
That was the very first time

when I felt a little bit of jealousy.

[in English]
I'm having a deja vu right now.

What happened?

I'm having a deja vu right now.

Really? You feel like
you've been here with me?

Yes! Yes!

Do I look familiar?

-Is this freaking you out?
-No.

-Because it's freaking me out.
-No.

I'm glad you were part of it
and I shared it with you.

-Perfect.
-That's great.

I like these things.
Deja vu and all of that.

I mean, I don't know.
It's so interesting. Right?

There are no books on…
There should be books on deja vu.

I just ordered this book called
The Tao of Physics.

Oh, f*ck it! It's got physics in its name.

No, it's not physics.
It's like the relationship between…

Physics and spirituality.

Okay. I've read this book called
Being Supernatural by Joe Dispenza.

Jagriti is an intellectual person.
She's very smart.

That's more interesting to me.

I think we think on the same level.

You are also into spirituality?

Yes, I'm very into spirituality.

Deeply?

-Deeply into spirituality.
-How?

Dude, we've had this conversation.

I know. I remember, but it was too rushed.

Are you dating that many people…

-No!
-…that you just don't remember?

I remember everything.
It's just that it was too rushed.

-And I'd like to know more about it.
-I get it, I get it.

I don't know where it is going right now.

But one thing both of us have agreed on,

no matter what happens,
we're going to be real with each other.

Oh, you…

-I can totally trust.
-[Sakshi] It's so beautiful.

-I can trust you with this.
-It's a beautiful guitar.

Honestly, I don't let anyone near it.

So you want to include everybody
when you play?

I think I would rather be playing for you.

Okay. You can play for me but…

Other people can join if they want.

So you guys can join.

If it's just going to be for you,
it's going to be a problem,

because you won't be able to…
you'll fall for him.

He is too good.

Listen, if he is playing,
even I want to hear him.

So please come. Let's just all come.
He is going to play now.

[upbeat music]

So if you guys want to join,
you can, please.

[Chiragg] What is this?

He's going to play something for us.

[in Hindi] I don't want to listen.

[in English] With all due respect…

this is something that happens
at the end of a party.

Do you want to sit opposite, or you wanna…

-I think I'll sit on this couch.
-Okay.

Before he starts playing,

Ashita, do you mind
if I steal him for some time

for a conversation?

I'm not good at this yet. But, like…

[Vidushi] Very sweet of her to say okay.

[in Hindi] But she was not willing to.
Then she touched him all over.

[in English] "Okay! I'll miss you!"
And I was like, "Hmm…"

[Ashita in Hindi]
I felt like I needed to talk more.

Our conversation was not over yet.

[in English]
Did you notice I'm not wearing a floral?

Next time, I think, I'm just going
to tell you just tell me what to wear.

Yeah.

She might not like it.
[chuckles]

Yeah, okay… She's the possessive kinds.

[in Hindi] These guys were like
if we can make a connection here…

What's that? What do you mean
by connection? I don't know.

[mutters]

Do you want me to stay limited
only till you?

-No, I want your attention…
-Should I not explore?

[in English]
I want your attention to just be on me.

Oh, that way you'll like Ashita.

-Because she's like, "I'll miss you."
-I'm talking about your attention…

[Vidushi] "I'll miss you."

[in Hindi]
How can you miss someone so soon?

Precisely my point. But it's okay.
Some people do that. Depends!

We were talking about attention.

That's okay.

[in English] I need more of our attention.
What the hell?

[in Hindi]
Are you like, when you go to her,

you tell her, "Thank God, I'm here."

"I don't have to talk to Vidushi…"

[in English] I don't have the need to.

She's talking mostly about me actually.

The conversation is focused on me there.

-Here I focus the conversation on you.
-It's okay. At least, you get attention.

You are getting so much attention.

[Sakshi in Hindi] Which game is this?

So you have to throw something,
knock it off and you get that teddy bear.

-Oh, I want a teddy bear!
-I can give you the teddy bear anyway.

-[Sakshi in English] I really want it!
-[laughs]

-No! You can't take it!
-[Sahib] Why? You can take the small one.

[Sakshi] You can… Oh!

-This is so…
-Small?

But I can't take it.
They're gonna k*ll me.

[in Hindi] Should we give him something?
For playing it.

-Who?
-The one who's playing it.

[in English]
I think you should give him this.

-Right?
-He'll be really happy if you give him.

[in Hindi]
I'll tell him, "Take it. This is for you!"

[in English] "And get me the big one…"

[laughter]

[in Hindi]
My entire attention shifted to him

and I felt he's such a nice person.

The way he told me,

"Yeah, yeah, go and give it to him.
He will be happy."

[in English]
This is what I want in my life.

Hello! Hello!

-Yes, ma'am.
-This is for you.

-For playing so beautifully.
-Oh! Seriously?

[Virendra in Hindi] How amazing! It's so…

-[in English] I'll keep it now.
-Yeah. Don't give it to anybody.

[in Hindi]
This is will be like a memory of you.

-Right? This is so beautiful and cute.
-I'll keep it. It is!

[light music]

Yatin does not drink
and somebody had made him chug.

[Dhruv] And just looking at him,
I could tell that he was high.

And it was by chance that soon after it,

Yatin and Ananya were talking
to each other at a side.

So I was observing
and I knew he was drunk.

So while he was talking to Ananya,
my job was getting done anyway.

[in Hindi] On our speed date last time,
I was nervous as I told you.

-[in English] Yeah, I could see that.
-[in Hindi] I was like…

"What do you want to ask?"
I was all sweating.

I was wearing a jacket
in Mumbai's hot weather.

And I was just sweating.

And you're saying, you'll come
to Chennai in this hot weather?

You have an AC, right? That's enough.

[in English] Doesn't matter.
If you stand two minutes out,

you will be drenched in water.

I mean, your sweat.

-It's that hot.
-[in Hindi] I will carry

an ice pack with me.

The one you can carry everywhere.

One in each pocket.

[in English] While I was talking to Yatin,
I hear something

and I can see something
from the very far end.

[rhythmic drumming]

[Yatin in Hindi]
Then suddenly we heard drums play.

I was wondering if it was in my head.

I thought that the Punjabi
in me was awakened.

[drumming continues]

[in English] What the hell? I'm like,
"Oh, my God! This is the kind of energy…"

[squeals]

[in Hindi] The dhol drums are here.
Let's all do some shots.

[in English] And it's show time.

[rhythmic drumming]

[all cheering]

[Sakshi in Hindi] When drums start playing
and people dance, it livens things up.

The whole party changed.

[upbeat music]

When I and Vidushi were dancing,

I was jumping with joy inside.

[Chiragg in English] There was electricity
bursting all around me.

[Vidushi in Hindi]
Firstly, there were drums…

[in English] Then, colors…

then, there was this water fountain…

and we thought
the party is shifting to that side.

[in Hindi] I was like, "Here we go again!"

[upbeat music]

Let me be very honest.

I don't like praising myself
but I have to this time.

When I stepped out wearing a bikini,

every guy out there fell flat!

Their faces were like…

"Wow! That's k*ller!"

[upbeat music]

[in English]
Not only were the guards down,

even the clothes were down.
[laughs]

[lively music]

Damn! Everybody looked so good!

[upbeat music]

[Vidushi in Hindi] It was just like
the movie Pati Patni Aur Woh.

We three are just chilling.

[in English] We were just like… It was…

It was nothing but awkward.

[Virendra in Hindi] My entire focus
was obviously on Sakshi only.

I tried to stay close to her

and Sahib was also right there.

For a moment it literally felt like
a scene from the movie Dostana,

where Priyanka Chopra, John Abraham,
and Abhishek Bachhan are on a beach.

[upbeat music]

[Jagriti in English]
I just found Rohan attractive.

I didn't expect his body to look
as good as it looked.

You know, he was looking that hot,

and he is with me throughout, you know?

That was very nice for me.

[dance music]

Rohan leaned forward

close to my neck and everything
and he said,

"You know…"

"I'm feeling cold. Can you warm me up?"

And I was like…

Of course.

[party music]

[in Hindi]
The first day in Delhi was so happening.

Our stories have not even started yet.

We have not even gone to our houses yet.

I don't know what is going to
happen next.

[music stops]

[upbeat music]

[in English] My house is the best house.

[Chiragg in Hindi]
Maybe I will never come out of this room.

Fix all my dates either in the room

or in this house.

[light guitar music playing]

[in English] Whaddup, Meet Cute?

[exclaims, giggles]

This is so pretty!

-This is so beautiful!
-So beautiful!

[music continues]

[Ananya] Wow!

Hi, guys!

We enter and we see two boys.

[Ananya]
And those are not our connections.

Those are these other single boys.

I realize, okay,
all the singles will be staying together.

Damn! I wish this room was my room

in real life.

I'm not coming out of this room, I swear.

[upbeat music]

What a pretty place, man!

I love it already.

Wow!

What a beautiful ambiance!

[Sakshi S.] The colors were like… Wow!

[upbeat music]

[in Hindi] Oh, man!

[Yatin] It was such a big house!

[in Hindi] So pretty.

It did not seem at all
like it was in Delhi.

[in English]
This is nice, man! This is nice!

[in Hindi]
There was a big smile on my face.

I couldn't believe where I was.

[Sakshi S.] Where is the boys' house?

[in English] Is that guys'?

Oh, my God!

[in Hindi]
Let's see if we can spot someone.

Let them come to the balcony.

Then we can talk
through gestures, at least.

-[in English] Is that for the guys?
-I think so.

[in Hindi] They must be like "Bro, is this
your room? Let me have it, please."

"Okay, fine."

Now it was about the rooms.

So who would select which room?

[in English]
Have you guys taken your rooms?

Haven't yet. We were just exploring.

Can I take dibs on…
[laughs]

I want to see the rooms.

I already kept my luggage
in one of the rooms.

[in Hindi] There was one room
which drew my attention.

I just declared it as mine.

[in English] I'm shifting my luggage there

because I want that room.

[in Hindi]
Even Jagriti liked the same room.

Because, like, you know,
we both liked the same guy

and the same room as well.

[chuckles]

[in English] Quite similar choices.

-[in Hindi] That room is mine now.
-I love that one.

I liked that one.

Yeah, I know. She also liked that one.

[in Hindi]
Their choices are so similar.

Be it Rohan
or be it the room in the house.

[giggles]

Go ahead, fight a little at least.

[in English]
Of course, we're not going to fight.

We are not going to fight no matter what.

-[in Hindi] No, I mean…
-No, but that's also because of…

-[in English] Discussion.
-…other things!

[in Hindi]
Both of Rohan's girls are fighting.

Let them! We were also having fun.

Check the room downstairs, too.

Come, see the opposite room also.

-[in Hindi] Yes, come see.
-Come, see Ashita's room.

Show her, too.

-I saw it.
-She already did.

[Sakshi S.] We both were adamant
about getting that room.

She was like, really adamant.

I didn't think anyone of us
would have stepped down.

[in English] I'm going but it doesn't mean
I'm submitting. Okay?

Okay, girls.

[in Hindi]
I nicknamed Sakshi, "Daddy's princess,"

"AKA Item". She's always like…

"Listen, I want this, okay?"

"I'm taking this for myself.
Do what you want…"

So I was like,
"You are daddy's true princess."

[Jagriti in Hindi] It's okay.
If she wants the room, she can have it.

[in English] I can have the guy.
She can have the room.

So, I took the other room. It's okay.

[chuckles]

[in Hindi]
I found really good connections.

Even the two I have right now.

[in English]
I am so confused right now. I don't know.

[in Hindi] On the basis of the interaction
at the party, we had to choose someone

for our first date.

But I still didn't have any clarity.

[in English] Tell me frankly,

are you happy with your dates,
or you're waiting for online dates?

I'm waiting for online to be honest.

[laughter and applause]

-I'm pretty sure.
-I knew it!

[in Hindi] He's surely…

He must be waiting for them eagerly.

Well, I'm really honest.

But it's not like…
I mean, I like both my dates.

[in English] Imagine all our online

-connections come here.
-Oh, sh*t!

Online can also not continue forever.

Yeah, you can't.

[in Hindi] We can start online but
eventually, we have to meet, don't we?

We can't just keep it online.

In my offline experience,

I could barely stand some of the dates.

-I didn't want to talk to them.
-[in English] I know.

And I can't show it on my face.

[in Hindi] I'm like, "Okay, now tell me."

In online, if you don't feel like talking,

"Okay, bye. I'm not gonna
talk to you. I'm not interested. Bye."

Something that I'm worried about is…

-See I'll send messages in a certain tone.
-Okay.

-I don't know how they'll perceive it.
-It's true. yeah.

[in English] If I send flirty text,

what if the other girl thinks
he's being a creep?

[in Hindi] Yes, true.

If I'm flirting one day,
maybe I'm in a good mood.

-Do you flirt? Really?
-[both laugh]

-So…
-He did it yesterday!

What I do is,
one day I flirt with everyone.

-Okay.
-Next day, if I'm in a serious mood,

and I don't feel like flirting

but she's still in the same zone…

-Like when you flirted before?
-Yes. I don't know how to tackle that.

Whatever people that we have
connected till now,

they are all exposed to
different stimuli outside, right?

-[in English] They can talk to each other.
-Yeah.

Can they?

-They can. I'm sure.
-Yes, they can.

Villas are different but it's not
that they can't speak to each other.

[in English] I'm just thinking what if
after this show, we are still single?

[giggling]

Our connection went with
their connections.

-Exactly.
-[in Hindi] This is possible because…

-This happened there.
-[in English] Or our connections

went with your connections.

But I like how this is facing each other.

Who is excited to enter that villa though?

[in Hindi]
Exactly! I was wondering the same.

I found it quite interesting

that four single boys are in one house

and exactly opposite to that
are four single girls in the other house.

[in English]
At some point, I will enter that villa.

I'm sure we all will.

Ananya and Sakshi are not here. So…

What if even they are all
staying together?

Those two guys and those two girls.

[in Hindi] Then they will pair up, guys.
This is not acceptable.

[laughs]

[in English] Oh! Can they see us?

[in Hindi]
No, I think only we see outside.

It's one-way… It's a one-way glass pane.

-[in English] It's really hot. Yeah.
-Going in?

[in Hindi] Either they can't see us,
or they ignored us.

[laughter]

-[in English] But are we like allowed to…
-Hang out with them?

-Or can we just wave or…
-Yeah.

They are just next to us for a reason

and we don't see Chiragg and Rohan.

-They are next to us for a reason.
-Yeah.

[distant clang]

-[chimes]
-Yo.

-That just switched on.
-Where's the ball?

-[chiming]
-[imitates chiming]

[in Hindi] And we all were like,
"What's this?" Then there was madness…

about what that noise was.

"Guys! Guys! Come upstairs!
Something is going to happen!"

[women in English] "Meet jealousy,
insecurity and possessiveness…

AKA Love."

[in Hindi] I was like,
I've already felt slight jealousy.

Will there be insecurity
and possessiveness, too?

What is this? What would come up next?

[in English] "Meet jealousy, insecurity
and possessiveness…

also known as Love."

[Virendra] No, I don't agree.

No, for sure, man.

[in Hindi] According to me,
jealousy is the definition of love.

You are possessive
or jealous about someone

only if you're in love with them.

[Vidushi in English]
Jealousy is okay to an extent.

-Yeah, to an extent.
-Okay.

-But insecurity?
-Insecurity isn't.

[Virendra] Also it could be varying
degrees of what they are saying.

Yeah. It shouldn't be like OD.
If it's over…

Anything too much is like… Please.

It means that we will get jealous,
insecure and possessive

of each other.

[Ashita in Hindi] Two girls were going
on dates with the same boy.

So I felt this was a warning that…

it could happen in this house.

Because if I'm going on a date with Ananya

and Yatin knows about it,

then at some point, no matter what,

that feeling will definitely be there.

[chimes]

[Yatin in English]
"Who feels like going on a date today?"

Me, me…

-[in Hindi] Send all of us, right away.
-All of us.

[Dhruv] The notification asked
who wants to go on a date today.

That's when it hit us that the same thing

was told to us by Rannvijay and Gauahar

that two among us would go on a date.

[chimes]

[Ashita in English]
"Who feels like going on a…"

-I feel like going on a date.
-Me!

-Me!
-I want to go!

-I want to go on a date!
-I want to go on a date!

-I want to go on a date!
-I want to go on a date!

-I want to go on a date!
-I want to!

[in Hindi] So much suspense.

I can't do it, man.
Meet Cute, please tell us fast.

[in English] "Vidushi, Chiragg would like
to take you out on a gym date."

-[Sakshi S.] Have a good one!
-Okay!

[Vidushi giggles]

[in Hindi] I had a feeling
that she's his first choice

and first preference.

Because even earlier,
I noticed him at the Holi party

that he likes Vidushi more.

He was conversing more with her

and was following Vidushi everywhere.

[in English] What kind of workout?
Now you decide?

[in Hindi]
Hey, it's a gym. It's written there!

She has such a dirty mind!

[in English] Yeah, okay.

[upbeat music]

[chimes]

[Virendra] "Sahib, Sakshi has cooked up
an interesting date

-for the two of you."
-[Sahib] Okay.

-[in English] Okay, then. Done.
-[Yatin] Sahib!

[in Hindi] How awesome! Wow!

[in English] Let's do this.
[chuckles]

-Let's do this.
-[Dhruv] Have fun.

-Have fun.
-All the best!

♪ Daggers ♪

♪ Daggers in my heart ♪

[in Hindi]
Even last time I went last with her,

and it was so beautiful.

So I was thinking maybe…

we're saving the best
for the last, or something.

[chimes]

[exhales sharply]

[in Hindi] It's all fine, dude.

[chimes]

[Sakshi S. in English] "Jagriti,
you should limber up too.

Rohan has an interesting date planned!"

[all exclaiming]

Congratulations!

Of course, I was disappointed.

[in Hindi] I didn't expect that.
I felt like Rohan will choose me.

[in English]
Is he more inclined towards her?

So, what about when he said
that I was the best date?

[Sahib in Hindi] Pal, it's your turn.

Okay, then. I'm going earlier, baby.

[Yatin in English] "Dhruv, Ananya wants…"

Oh! All the best, dude!

♪ Daggers in my heart ♪

[in Hindi] I wanted to go.

[birds flapping]

[upbeat music]

♪ Oh here we go ♪

[in English] Do you always look so good
while you're working out? Isn't that…

I told you, I like dressing up.

So that implies on my workout also.
But like, yeah.

Are you going to work out in this?

Yes, that's how I roll.

Today, I'm your coach, really.

-[in Hindi] Am I in trouble then?
-No, not at all.

[in English]
So I've generally been the person

getting pursued, right?

That feels natural to me.

And it was interesting how I was feeling.

I was just like, observing myself, and…

You were going to go pee
and then you said…

-I remember.
-You said…

I remember. I remember.

"I don't want to go pee…"

And come back to you
having switched places.

-[both laugh]
-That was really funny.

I remember and you were like,
"No, I'm going to be here."

And then when you came, I just realized
that I had switched places.

I had no other option.

-You had?
-Yeah.

I mean I didn't go and switch places.
It just happened.

I didn't do it, like…

Were you sitting in the same spot
that I left you in?

I was sitting in the same spot.

-That's what matters.
-Yeah.

Cool! Then I can't control everything.

-So, it's okay.
-Yeah.

So what was your first impression?

First impression, I was like…

-On the speed date.
-Yeah. Yeah.

First, I felt like you were like…

I don't wanna talk to her. She's boring.

And then… I'm just joking.
[laughs]

I'm just messing with you.

I got this vibe from you.

Like I saw your piercing, your earrings…

It gave me this very…

-Almost like a badass vibe.
-Mm-hm.

And then when you opened your mouth,

-it was like this angel talking.
-[chuckles]

So right away. I was like,
man, this is so, like…

Because I like that.
For me, if a girl is too nice…

I want a wild side.

Because I'm like that.

So I want, like, a partner in crime where…

-If I…
-You cannot be boring together.

You need to be like… fun!

-It has to be something like…
-Crazy!

Yeah. Like, "You want to go do this?
f*ck. Yeah, I want to go do this!"

"Don't even tell me what I'm going to do.

You don't even have to tell me
where we are going."

"You are sitting in the car.
I need you just shut… Sit in the car."

So you know where are we going?

-I have no idea.
-Oh, you have no idea?

I'm just like, really excited.

-I'm just looking forward.
-It's something different.

-Yeah?
-Yeah.

You will like it for sure.

[bleating]

Wow! This is a beautiful place.

[Sakshi] It's beautiful, seriously.

[host] Hi, Sakshi. Hi!

-Hello!
-Sahib, how are you?

-Very good.
-I'm good. Thank you.

-Welcome to the Prodigal Farms.
-Yeah.

[host in Hindi] Today's date
is really special for you both.

[in English] So this is an experience

unlike any other
that you have done so far.

[in Hindi]
I will take you guys on a tour now.

You will pick up
some veggies from around here.

[in English]
And then we have a kitchen here

and you will have a dining space
of your own here.

-Wow!
-You will cook whatever you feel like.

[host] Everything will be super fresh,
super organic from the farm.

-[Sakshi in Hindi] Come on.
-[in English] I love it.

-Yeah?
-Absolutely.

-You know how to cook?
-No.

♪ It's a beautiful day ♪

[Vidushi] He started
with some crazy stretching.

[in Hindi] I was like, what is this?

[in English] I saw him doing
all that stretching, I was like, okay.

[lively music]

What the hell?

-Yeah.
-[chuckling]

[in Hindi]
He's making me do all the tough workouts!

He was flirting while doing push-ups.

I said, "Don't distract me, okay?"

[in English] I should just do
eye contact with you and like…

-Exactly! What better distraction?
-Yeah! Turn you on!

-[in Hindi] What?
-Not every eye contact does that.

There's also a moment for it.

[faint ethnic music playing]

[background chatter]

[singing in the background]

[in English] This is literally
where I used to come as a kid.

[lively music]

Dilli Haat is this flea market

that has stores from 28 states

and that is pretty amazing.
It looks so colorful.

We need to buy similar earrings.
Me and you.

No, for sure.

I think I'm going to take this off
and put those on right now.

And all the dates we go on

-this is what I'll wear.
-[chuckles]

-Hi!
-Hey! Hi!

Jagriti.

Rohan. Nice to meet you.

So I'm Arjun and welcome to Studio Ekko.

-[in Hindi] Today we'll try Aerial Yoga.
-Okay.

All the Yoga poses we did

on the ground so far
will be taken a level up.

[in English] Okay.

[electronic music]

-Okay.
-[both laugh]

Since I do pole dancing,
I had this pressure in my head…

[in Hindi] …that I have to do this right
or I won't be able to face him.

And I know that he is under pressure too…

since Rohan has to impress me too.

So I was chilled out. I knew
we both have to impress each other.

So it was equal
and the nervousness was canceled out.

So whatever we did was okay.

[electronic music]

When the other two had gone
on their dates,

we were wondering what to do.

[playful music]

[in English]
Tell me one thing which makes you happy.

Looking at you right now.

[in Hindi]
Oh my God. I'm going to jump!

Don't jump yet. Hold on.

[Yatin] Oh, man!

Did you hear what she said?

You just left without singing any song.

[in English] I'll get my uke.

Get it, get it, get it.

-[in Hindi] What?
-I thought that you…

only sing for Sakshi Gupta.

Right now, you both are here.

So you both are
the special ones right now.

[Sakshi S.] So we are pretty
as per your convenience.

[host in English]
So these are our beetroot.

♪ We never know who we are ♪

♪ We just pretend that we do ♪

♪ But in that moment
I swear I had to be next to you ♪

This is so nice.

We had a little basket of veggies
which we had to cook

and how that was going to happen,
I had no clue.

-You want a carrot?
-Yeah, I like carrot.

-Wow! I'm impressed!
-Yeah!

-[laughter]
-Very…

[in Hindi] Yes, even beetroot.

[in English] Your favorite.

Hey, this is a fancy…

No, this is not beetroot. What is this?

-I think it's raddish.
-Is it beetroot?

Where is beetroot then?

I think we got the wrong basket, you know.

[romantic music]

[Sahib]
I didn't want that time to go fast.

I wanted to slow it down,

but obviously, it's time.

I couldn't do that.

[lively music]

♪ And it's racing, my heart is beating ♪

♪ Racing, my heart is pounding ♪

Don't get distracted.
I'm not even looking at you.

[in Hindi]
This guy is head over heels for me.

He's beyond help now.

[light music]

[in Hindi] Don't smile, dude.
How will I punch you if you smile?

♪ Say good night ♪

♪ Good night, I don't want to go ♪

[in English] You are not saving yourself.
I can actually punch you.

-Punch me then.
-What will happen to your pretty face?

[Vidushi] What will Ashita do then?

[in Hindi] It's okay. She is a doctor.

[in English] Oh, yeah!

[Chiragg in Hindi] We forgot all about
building a connection.

We had to talk as well.
But we decided to fight today.

[in English]
Come on, fight! What are you doing?

♪ You make me feel all the butterflies ♪

[percussive music playing]

[singing in the background]

[crowd laughs]

Both our exes.

[giggles]

[in Hindi]
When we tell about our date today,

we can say we saw our exes dancing today.

[in English]
Yeah. Like, what a great date.

I'm with my next with my ex. What?

-Did I say I'm with my next?
-Oh!

I like that.
[giggles]

See, I was just seeing how you react
if I said that.

I got a good reaction. That's cool.

So one leg here.

[Arjun in Hindi] Slightly higher.
That's it.

[Jagriti in English] Rohan and I,
generally, we just talk, you know?

[in Hindi]
Physical proximity between us…

[in Hindi] …isn't so strong so far.

[Arjun] A little further.

Move lower first…

I was just thinking

what if something awkward happened

or something strange.

[Jagriti in Hindi]
I didn't want to hurt him in any way.

We call this the Boat pose.
Straighten your hands.

[light music]

[Sahib in English]
The date kept getting better.

We're in the middle of the farm,
with this beautiful table set up,

a bottle of wine,

and just two of us with the sunset.

[Sakshi] It's so beautiful, actually.

[Sahib] It's stunning. It's too good.

This was, like, way beyond what I thought.

-Way beyond what I thought.
-Worth it. Right?

[Sahib] Absolutely.

The more time that we spend
and we talk and…

It's just feeling better.

-Right?
-It's getting better.

[light music]

[both laugh]

[Dhruv in Hindi] The special date we had
cannot be put into words.

It felt that after many years,

I could open up
and be myself around a girl.

That was a sign for me

that maybe she is the one.

-[Chiragg in English] This is your stance.
-[Ananya] Okay, this is…

And remember, always protect your face.
That's the most important thing.

-Always protect your face.
-[chimes]

[chimes]

So when we came back home post the date,

I actually didn't expect
this would happen.

[Ananya]
We had a notification from Meet Cute.

[all] "Pics may be worth a thousand words

but video can be even better."

[light music]

"Time to connect with an online connection

-over video."
-"Who do you want to see?"

-"Who do you want to see?"
-"Who do you want to see?"

What Meet Cute is trying to tell us
at this point…

[in Hindi] …is you know what,
as your story was progressing…

[in Hindi] …another story was in the works
when you were talking to people online.

I was really happy that finally,

something new was about to start.

[in English]
On Meet Cute, I've liked a few pictures

and I liked the conversation
I'm having with the person on text.

But on a video call,
it is something different.

What if I have been catfished?

Hey, Meet Cute.

-Oh!
-Oh, my God!

Look at their form.

-Look at both of them.
-Look at their form.

So the first time I saw the pictures,

it was a little jealousy, obviously.

You can say…

insecurity.

[exclaiming]

[in Hindi] Oh, my God! You were making
such tall claims until now.

That you were in love with me.

What happened? Was it just for the show?

You know what, Dhruv?

[in English] f*ck it.

Wow! Wow!

[chimes]

[Chiragg] "The weaker connections
will leave the Connection Houses tonight."

"Hope you use this time well."

[imitating clock ticking]

[closing theme music]
