01x07 - Episode 7

Post by bunniefuu »

[dramatic music]

I don't know what we have.
I know it's been, um,

like a month that I know you,

and you've made me feel so special
day by day.

I think I made a connection with you,

and I think this is it for me.

Yeah, I'd like to say something
before that.

My heartbeat went through the roof.

[suspenseful music]

I'm really bad with my emotions
and there's a reason

I've been in one relationship
my whole life,

cos this is something I ran away
from my entire life, right?

But having met you, like, um,

there's a new side to me
that has come out,

which I didn't even know it existed,
or thought it was like dead for good.

But see, I feel like, you know, um,
like you went on a lot of dates,

you took your time.
That's how you know you want me, right?

I know, like, it would be stupid enough
for me to let a girl like you go.

But that is not what I'm saying at all.

But for me, I'm in a spot where…

since I haven't been
in this situation before, right?

I haven't met…

You are the only girl I've met here,

you know, I'm not saying I want
to go on dates with other girls.

That's not what I'm saying at all,

but I do want to hang with other people.

Like, see where it goes.

'Cause I'm feeling things
I've never felt before,

so I don't want to rush into it

because what we have is real,

so there's no rush. There's no…
it's not going to go anywhere.

And if it is real, whether we do it today,
whether we do it six years from now,

that's… that's not going to go away.

So I hope you take it in
the right way, and…

-Yeah.
-I respect you more than anything,

you know that.

From my side, I feel like, you know,

like, I want to take a little more time.
I will not let you go.

You know, you're going to be part
of my life, we are still figuring it out,

but you will be a big part of my life,
whether… doesn't matter how it is.

But I just feel like we should
take our time so none of us get hurt.

I honestly did not see it coming,

because I have spoken to Dhruv

and I know how he feels about Ananya.

He really, really does like her.

I kind of had a feeling…

[in Hindi]
…that Dhruv might not be ready…

[in English] …to commit fully.

[Shivam in Hindi]
These aren't engagement rings.

[in English]
These are just connection rings.

[in Hindi] As long as
you have found a connection…

[in English]
…what's the point of really being like…

you know, "I'm not ready
to give the ring."

-You want to sit down?
-Yeah.

[Gauahar] Come.

That moment should have been
a celebration…

[in Hindi] …instead of being
one of mourning.

[Chiragg in English]
I was sad. I was angry.

[in Hindi] Because she's my friend.

[in English]
She's come with all her heart.

I… I don't think, so,
Ananya will be able to trust him again.

I'm okay. I still think,
I'm in loss of words.

I still don't know what to say.

Maybe I need to think about it

and see where my head is at.

Because right now it's like…
[huffs]

Rann, I feel like there's a lot
that has happened right now.

Dhruv and Ananya,

I think we want to give you
some alone time.

[in Hindi] Go upstairs…

[in English]
…and just have a conversation.

[Dhruv in Hindi] Everyone was shocked.

I could see in Ananya's eyes
that she couldn't believe it.

But I felt somewhere

that I couldn't have lied
only to make her smile

or to impress others.

I wanted her not to be hurt,

and I had promised to be honest with her.

[in English]
And that's exactly what I did.

[Rannvijay in Hindi] What is it, Sakshi?

[in English] What happened?

[in Hindi] We discuss it everyday.

[in English] She's like…

this is it for me!

Now, she's heartbroken.

[in Hindi] Worse than ever before,

Today, in front of everyone.

She thought it was mutual.

Was it unexpected for you?

Absolutely!

Chiragg?

[in English] The thing is, we look at it
from the point of view that Dhruv

is saying something.

He's being honest,

and frankly, we have been at a point
where we've had a chance to explore

and then come to a decision.

They should also get a chance

because they also want
to be sure about us.

[Chiragg in Hindi] What's wrong in it?

Not that. She's hopeful.

She's hurt now.

Dhruv didn't choose her.

But what they discussed

and conversed about

made her feel

that he would have her back.

[Sakshi] That's what he showed.

[Chiragg in English]
He did not not take a stand for her.

He said it honestly
that I have all the respect for you,

I'm there for you, and everything he said…
But he has the right as well.

[in Hindi]
If I have the right to do things

then others should also have this right.

I wouldn't call it rejection.
I would just call it…

[in Hindi] …he has asked for some time.

[in English]
Honestly, I can't put into words,

like, how I'm feeling,

'cause, like, I know

the last thing I'm going to do
is, like, upset you,

which is why I was kind of mad
that this happened in front of everybody.

And I didn't like it.

Like, I'm feeling bad
'cause it came across so wrong.

You are the girl I want. You know that.

Please don't get me wrong. Like…

everyone knows what I mean to you,

but 'cause I don't say it,
like I'm not expressive, so no one…

You know what you mean to me.

[Ananya] It just pushed me way back
to my past

where someone is giving and I give

and that someone doesn't want it.

So I felt like, I didn't…
I was not wanted.

And I think we are
at a very interesting juncture right now,

so we'll let them talk about it.

[in Hindi] You guys relax.

[in English] Figure out your connections

-and we will see you soon, yeah.
-See you.

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

[in Hindi] The meeting ended

on a note that everyone of us

had long faces.

We were all so confused.

[Rohan] This made things so uncertain.

Anything can happen now.

I don't think
we can take anything for granted now

or be certain of things.

[solemn music]

[in English] We just needed to understand
what happened

and as always, every night,

we talk to each other.

Actually, I'll be honest.

I know all four of you
much properly then her.

[in Hindi] She never listens, okay?

I've decided that tomorrow,
I'll explain myself…

[in English] …if I feel it,

otherwise I'm just going
to come out of the house.

[in Hindi] Hold on.

-Both of you are going.
-[Shimona in English] You both.

-If nothing else, you guys should date.
-Yes! What's happening?

[in English] And I also need to talk
with Pratham later…

-[in Hindi] …in private.
-Oho!

[dramatic music]

Listen, Mr. Lamba, Mr. Shivam,

and Dhruv, let's allow them some space.

Let them talk.

-Hi.
-Hi, Sif, what's up?

I wanted to talk to you since this noon.

[in English] It's okay, talk.

[in Hindi] I wanted to talk…

[in English] …about, um,
something that was, um…

said to me tonight.

-Okay.
-I wanted to keep it clear with you,

because I don't care
about, like, what other people say.

-Okay.
-[in Hindi] I wanted you to clear the air.

I…

[in English]
Like I said, my options are open, right?

[Sifat in Hindi]
I have told Chiragg about it too.

[in English]
And with him, it's like,

we have fun together.

When we are together, we have fun

-but I have no expectations from him.
-Okay.

[in Hindi]
It's nothing so serious…

[in English]
See, the fact that you said that…

-[in Hindi] Let me say this.
-Yeah.

[in English]
So, everyone is so nice in your house.

[in Hindi]
Even just… we have met just once.

-Exactly.
-And we felt so good!

[in English] We felt so good!
And we felt, like, yeah…

-[in Hindi] We were so comfortable.
-[Pratham] Yeah.

[in English]
I mean, at least this is how I am in life

and this is how I can be with you,
people and you.

-[in Hindi] Yes.
-I am not someone's option.

I mean, like, he's exploring

I am doing the same.

-I am exploring here as well.
-[Pratham in English] Of course.

[in Hindi] My equation with Sifat
is amazing. Such a sweet girl.

[in English]
I'll rather go on more dates with you.

[in Hindi] Let's go.

[Sifat] Pratham is very funny.

It's so much fun with him.

His talks…

[in English]
…and the way he speaks

is so funny that you can just, like,
sit with him and laugh all day.

At the start, when we all first met
for the first time,

I had mentioned
in front of Gauhar and Rannvijay

that I'm too much, I need a man who
is strong enough to take all of that in.

I don't think any man will ever be.

[solemn music]

I don't think you're too much.
You are just yourself.

I think that is only too much, right?

[in Hindi] What's the big deal?

[in English] You're not getting the point.

How can you call yourself too much?
If you try to be a little less,

-then you'll stop being yourself.
-Yeah.

-And you'll stop feeling yourself.
-Then when will someone

ever want who I am?

That totally depends on…

whenever that has to happen. It's not…

You can't decide something,

you know, how you feel about somebody,

what happens next.
These are things that you can't decide.

In fact, you know, when people leave

or when people enter your life,
it's also not in your hands.

They leave and enter
whenever it has to happen.

I have also lost so many people
in my life,

and I've lost people whom I loved dearly.

But you shouldn't look back then,
you know.

I just feel like those patterns are just
repeating again and again and again.

I want to break that pattern…

[in Hindi]
…but I don't know how.

[in English] It's like a maze
and I'm just running inside that same maze

-all over again…
-You are just thinking about

this Dhruv thing too much.

He's getting to your head. Because…

until that happened,
you were absolutely fine.

Now it is difficult for you to accept
what happened?

Now I'm scared that in 20 days' time,

he couldn't decide if he's sure about me.

What if he had accepted the ring?

Both of you had left the show.

[in Hindi]
And then he'd say it's not working out.

You would have felt that
this opportunity got wasted.

[in English] I wanted to explore more.

I have made amazing friends on the show.

Rohan, Chiragg, Sakshi…
They've always been there for me,

but whenever I'm at my lowest,

there is one person that I go to,

usually, for everything and that's Varsha,

and I really needed to talk to her.

Meet Cute, please call Varsha.

[line ringing]

-Hi.
-[Varsha] Hi.

Tell me, what's going on? What's going on?

I don't know what was going on.

It was so confusing and I was just like,
like, "what happened?"

I just told her everything what happened
with me and Dhruv.

But it kind of pushed me back

because I give a lot to someone

and it's…

f*cking every time
that someone doesn't want to take it.

Am I that difficult?

[somber music]

I think that's always been like that

with my ex,
with every people I actually liked.

I liked them and then they just leave.

They just leave.

You got really triggered
by this one thing that happened.


But you and I know for a fact

that if someone leaves,

it always makes room for something better.

There is so much room, but I'm so empty.

[sobbing]

I just feel so empty.

[somber music continues]

Feels this way
but that's not the reality. Okay?


You shouldn't fall for what's temporary.
That's all.


[sniffles]

I don't understand
when it's going to be permanent

or at least semi permanent.
I don't know what…

I don't even know how to call it.

Like, something can just stay,
like, stay for once.

Stay for me!

I just don't feel anything right now.

I feel so lost.

You know, no matter
what disappointment comes your way,


you come back twice as strong.

With much more clarity.

-Okay?
-I miss you.

Bye.

Bye.

[TV chimes]

[in Hindi] We were ready
and waiting since morning

for what's lined up for us today
by Meet Cute.

[light music]

-Aww…
-[chuckles]

[Vidushi in English] I mean,
only she is going from our house.

Ah, like, I'm excited. But I'm also like,
I'm missing out on the stuff here.

It's okay.

I was like, okay, go.

[in Hindi] I had been there as well,
so you also go.

Last time, when I had gone,

the boys came over.

So, I was like, okay,

[in Hindi] I knew something
was planned for us too.

-We won't be bored.
-[TV chimes]

[Pratham in English] I wish
I could say that for you too, bro.

[chuckles]

[Pratham in Hindi]
I am going to her house today.

[in English]
She's in her space.

She might be cool and calm.
She's chilling.

I think I might be able
to address my issue.

[in Hindi] And she might understand.

[Sahib in English]
He did deserve a fair chance

because they both were just not
on the same page.

So, maybe, they need to sort
their differences out.

At least, so they don't fight
the way they do normally.

[Pratham in Hindi] Pratham and I
went to the Singles House together.

[in English]
And he wasn't sure…

[in Hindi]
…what was up for him.

I had told him if he feels uncomfortable,

[in English]
…just come to me.

I just hope that even today
we get to hang out with the boys

because last time, it was so much fun.

-[Jagriti] Come on.
-[TV chimes]

"Why waste a perfect day?"

-[squealing]
-I know, right? Hello!

[in English] Oh, my God! Oh, my God!

-Oh, my God!
-Should we take out swim suits?

Okay, let's pack our swimming costume.

Okay. In case we go…

-[in Hindi] …and sandals too.
-[exclaiming]

[in English] Anybody home?

-Hey!
-[Shivam] We are.

[in Hindi] Last time, when the boys
had come to our house,

Shimona and Jagriti had told me

that they could see
a different avatar of Sahib's.

He would make them play games…

[in English] He was very excited.
He was talking a lot.

So, I was like, okay,

I want to see what I missed.

[Dhruv] You got the new Sahib.

-You missed the old Sahib.
- What are you… where are you going?

[Sahib] I'm getting what we need the most.

-Sahib is a man.
-What? You need help?

[in Hindi] Should I come?

[Shimona in English] Sahib and Vidushi…

I find them very cute together.

I'm not the right person
to say anything about them

Especially Sakshi, I don't want to like

be that person
who have to face a fight with her.

[Sifat] This is the picture
that was there on your profile.

But here you look so different.

I can't believe that's you.

Show me your side profile.

No, I still can't believe it.

This was the last time I was clean shaven.

And this was Diwali.

-This Diwali?
-Yes.

[in Hindi] I started
keeping a beard after that.

It looks good.

[in English]
Anything else you need changed?

I need changed? Okay, let me see.

-[in Hindi] Take a closer look at me.
-Look properly?

-Take your time.
-We have lots of time.

We have lots to know about each other.

We are not at a stage

wherein we can decide that
we want this person

because we don't know each other so well.

Hmm.

You tell me your morning routine.

I get up and the first thing I do
is I make my bed.

[both laugh]

Warm my water, go back in bed,

have it while I'm reading.

That's the first thing I do
is I get up and I start reading.

That is, I don't know, I just like…

um, found that really…

I don't want to say the word.
[chuckles]

-Nerdy?
-No.

-It's a good word.
-[in Hindi] Alright.

I am happy it is.

[in English]
I'll fill in the blanks later on.

-I'll read and…
-That's a turn on, yeah.

I always…

In fact, I keep my books
next to my bed actually

before sleeping.

I don't have my collection.

Like, I don't have my collection…

[in Hindi] …so I've kept my diaries
over there

-so that I feel my books are with me.
-Oh!

[in English] Okay, tell me… tell me more.

[snickers]

[in Hindi] Talking to her
is an electrifying experience.

[in English] There's that comfort.

[in Hindi] I can be myself with her.

[in English] My brother, um,

was trying to teach me karate,
and I was like…

-No.
-Why? It's nice. It's a good art form.

Yeah, because I think
he is a very bad teacher.

-If you would try to teach me…
-[in Hindi] Come to my dojo.

[in Englilsh]
I can teach you a bit of boxing though

and Jujutsu.

Jujutsu is a very close contact sport.
That's the thing. It's extremely close.

Hmm.

[Sifat] So, are we, uh, doing that?

-Maybe. Maybe, I'll let you know.
-Maybe?

Maybe. You will let me know?

I mean, in the sense,

if the situation arises,

-then we will go ahead with it.
-[in Hindi] I see.

It was a cute and cuddly moment.

We were just chitchatting

about our lives.

It is vital if you choose someone,

to know what comes next.

[in English] And to be sure of that.

Uh, I have always been this girl…

[in Hindi]
…whose boyfriend's friends would tell him

I was taking him dance to my tunes.

[in English] After my year of detox,
I have tried to work on that.

I have tried to work on
not having a control over people.

-Like, the need for control.
-Oh, man!

And I never had anybody
who can control me.

-How interesting is that!
-How interesting!

I can very well control you.

-Oh!
-I just choose not to.

[chuckles]

Adorbs. Totally adorbs.

Yeah.
[giggles]

Let's play, um,

"who is most likely to."

-Okay, I like that. I like that…
-Oh, yeah, nice. Interesting.

-I like that. I like that, brother!
-Okay, we'll play "who is most likely to."

-You are a f*cking genius, you know that?
-[Vidushi] Yeah.

-[Dhruv] Okay.
-Who is most likely

to have the longest dry spell?

[laughter]

Let's… Oh, my God! You are f*cked up.

[laughter]

-I vote for myself.
-I vote for myself too.

-Don't play safe. Make it opposite.
-No!

Who is likely to have
the shortest dry spell.

Dhruv!

-There you go.
-Sahib!

Oh!

Sahib.

-Dhruv.
-Thanks. Thanks.

I'm a monster in your eyes.

A "demon"!

[laughter]

[Dhruv] And there was sparks
all over the room.

[in Hindi] I felt that the strongest
were between Sahib and Vidushi.

[in English] You can sense
like there's a lot of tension.

Which person over here
do you feel like hugging?

-Do I need to answer this?
-Yeah.

-It's obvious.
-[in Hindi] Say it.

-[mutters]
-Oh!

-[laughter]
-Okay! You say.

[in Hinglish] I can hug. I'm a hugger.
I can hug everyone.

I can hug Dhruv comfortably.

Sahib… I have heard a lot about his hugs,

but haven't gotten one.

I'm so sorry.

I get confused between Pratham and Shivam.

-No worries.
-Actually, Shivam is my brother's name.

-No worries.
-Shivam Sharma.

So, I tend to utter that name.

You might have been offended.

-But it's not like that. I was…
-I got it. No big deal!

When he came there,

I was worried that I would

try connecting with him again,

but he wouldn't make a new connection.

He'd be stuck in the past.

When I came on a date with you

the first time,
Ananya had not even changed.

[Sakshi in English] I changed for you.

I want to, you know…

I want to give you a fair chance…

[in Hindi] …for a good date.

They all told me I was looking great.

[in English] Because I tried.

-I was like, I…
-Of course, you were.

[in Hindi] It's not that I was determined

to not make it happen,

-or I wouldn't have come.
-Right!

I understand you found it disrespectful

and I am sorry for that…

[in Hindi] …I just walked away
and you felt bad about it.

[in English]
Yeah, I respect what you said.

[in Hindi] You are right.

[in English] I actually saw
another side of Sakshi.

[Pratham] She was being too sweet.

She said sorry about it, I was shocked,

because that is the last thing
she could do.

[in Hindi] Are you promising
to that after four days,

-we won't utter that date. Promise?
-Yes. Promise.

We decided that
we will let bygones be bygones.

[Pratham in English] Let's start fresh.

So, if she is ready to start
fresh with me, I don't mind it.

[Sifat in Hindi] Those were lovely moments
between Chiragg and me.

We have been very clear
about our equation.

[Sifat in English]
We're doing good. It's fun.

It's nice with him.
It's always a great time.

[Chiragg] Life was happening.
Everybody was living.

[chuckles]

[in Hindi]
And we receive a notification…

-[TV chimes]
-"Get ready for your next date."

"Real Life Connections"?

-Oh!
-Wait, wait, what is this?

Singles and Real Life Connections.

So, you two are getting the date.

That means we have to get ready
for our date with them? Finally.

I was really excited…

[in Hindi] …'cause it was
with my offline connection, Sahib.

[in English] The only disappointment was
that we had to end

our little afternoon together
which was so much fun.

[Vidushi] "And don't forget your dancing…"

-[excited squeal]
-[all exclaim]

[exclaims]

[light music]

So there's this rumor going around…

[in Hindi] …when Rohan and Shimona
had gone on a date.

[in English] So, Rohan told Shimona
that he sees me only as a friend,

and, uh…

this is very confusing for me, right?

I don't want to be friend-zoned,

and I want to know how he feels truly.

So I want to seek some clarity,

and hopefully,
I can do that as soon as possible.

[upbeat music]

[Chiragg] The day just got
so much more better right now.

It was going good,

it just became great

because there is dancing involved.

I was like, man…
[laughs]

…my mood is so f*cked up,

and I feel blank, I feel empty.

But I don't know how would I dance

when I'm feeling
all sorts of emotions in me.

[in Hindi] To be honest,
I didn't know how to approach this.

[in English] 'Cause obviously I was very,
very, very happy to see her.

[in Hindi] But I knew, when I go there,
she'll be low on energy…

[in English] …and she would be upset
about what happened.

I… based off of how you are,

right now, I feel like you are not being
completely honest with me.

-Hmm?
-You are not completely honest with me.

-Honest like?
-About how you feel.

No. You kind of shook me off yesterday.

And I'm still… I'm not…
I'm not still out of it.

I'm not sure, like,

if it all at the end of this,
I gave you the ring and you…

you behave the same way
like you did yesterday,

I'm scared.

[dramatic music]

All I'm saying is…

when that time comes,
when I have to do it, like…

-What if the time never comes?
-Why won't it come?

See, to the point that,
even if you change your mind,

when that time does come,
even if you change your mind,

I have told you before. Like,

I will still come and tell you how I feel

whether you change your mind
or you don't, that's on you.

But I will still tell you
because I want to tell you,

and I want everyone else to know.

But it's just like,
I don't want to see you like this.

Like, I'm hating
seeing your face like this.

Like, me being the reason,
like, it's k*lling me, seriously.

I'm like…

I feel a little empty.

♪ Where do I put all the things ♪

♪ That you didn't take ♪

That's what I'm saying, what can I do?

-Huh?
-I don't know.

-Maybe, I just need time.
-Take… Listen, man,

with me, you take all the time
in the world, I'm not going anywhere.

I know they are just words, right now.

But I will prove myself every day.

I won't let you go.

♪ Pieces of us, I see them everywhere ♪

♪ Never knew that goodbye ♪

♪ Meant I would be left behind ♪

You still look cute even when you are sad.

[Dhruv chuckles]

-You look really nice.
-Thank you.

The foundation we created
for our connection

or whatever this is, is so strong

that it shook but it didn't break.

[light music]

[in Hindi] The Real Life Connections
were on their dancing date.

Shimona and I were in the house.

We receive a Meet Cute notification…

[TV chimes]

-My heart is racing.
-Same here.

[in English]
Can you feel it?

[Sifat] "Please go
to the Boys' Connection House

to say goodbye to Shivam."

What?

What?
[grunts]

Like, now?

[Sifat] Our hearts sank.

We just couldn't process.

[in Hindi] Shimona and I were confused.

[in English] We literally ran.

[TV chimes]

"Hi Shivam, as per your request,

your transport home has been arranged.

Thanks for being a part of the journey.
I hope you find what you're looking for.

Warm hug!"

Warm hug, man.

You'll definitely find much,

-much, much better outside…
-Oh, hell yeah.

I'm already sure
there's much more looking…

-you know, forward for me outside.
-Brother, the thing is that…

With an open head,
with a much more open head.

I'm hopeful of that.

I'm going to miss you, brother.

[Shivam] Hi!

[emotional music]

-Don't leave.
-[Shivam chuckles]

I wish it was in my hand.

-[Pratham] How are you?
-[Sifat] Not good.

-[Shivam] It was a lovely, lovely…
-[Pratham] What's happening, man?

[Shivam] Whatever time!

[Shimona] I have known him as a person
who is like, very funny.

He is hilarious.

And when I saw tears in his eyes,

and I couldn't control that.

It was like,
this person cannot be like this.

Because of the way things were unfolding…

[in Hindin] …what I found to be the best…

[in English] …was to value my time.

[in Hindi] While leaving,

I want Ananya to know…

[in English] …the only reason
I gave her Hook-up that night

is not because
I feel that she's that kind of girl.

The only reason I did so

was because she was too good to be k*lled.

But in that moment, she didn't deserve
to get the Marry from me,

and I wanted to give her something.

♪ I've got nothing to hide ♪

♪ These broken bones are mine ♪

♪ Fall in line ♪

[dance music]

Everybody's dancing Bachata.

Like there are so many couples
who are dancing.

[Vidushi in Hindi]
It was an amazing moment.

[in English] It was almost like
we've come to, like, a ball,

[in Hindi]
…and it is my dream that I wanted

to learn ballroom dance with my partner.

f*ck! The only dance form
I can't do is this.

[in English]
Because I can't move my hips like that.

I really want to learn this, man.

[in Hindi] We went to a couple
and asked them to teach us.

[dance music]

You also have to move a little!

[Sakshi] I was excited
but I knew Sahib can't dance well.

It would still be an experience.

I can teach him too.

[in English] I love the fact
that he actually put an effort

to make me feel so much better
that evening,

and he was actually learning it.

Rohan seemed very keen

to talk to me about everything
that had happened

because from what I had seen from him,

I thought I would have to be the one
to get him to talk.

If you just see me as a friend,
or something like that, then…

-why don't you just…
-Till that… till that day, you know…

No, no, no, that is not what I meant.

I mean, you know, it's a good thing also.

When you meet somebody,
you get to know them as friends.

-It's just that, it's just that…
-But you didn't just say that.

You said a couple of more things,

like, "Oh, she doesn't challenge me
enough," and stuff like that.

I know I… I know I said it,

but, you know, those were, like,
my honest feelings

and that is not everything.

I've said so many good things
also about you.

That is not just who you are.

There's a reason
that you're my connection.

What more can I say about that?

Yeah. That makes sense.

Just be who you are.

And forgive me for what I said.

[Rohan] That's all I need you to do.

-[Jagriti] Okay. You want to dance?
-[Rohan] Yeah, yeah.

Let's go.

[in Hindi] I felt it would be awkward,

but it didn't happen.

[in English] And I respect her for that.
She didn't let it get awkward.

[Rohan] I just…

don't know if, uh, I'm good at it.
But I'm trying.

[Jagriti] Let's ask someone to teach us.

[Rohan] I… I don't think
we have an instructor here.

Guys, do you know what we are…
Can you teach us?

-Yes.
-Teach us! Please.

One, two,

-three, tap.
-Okay.

I just had a ball of a time with him.

[dance music]

Got it!

The conversation that I have
with her and when I'm with her,

it's a very friendly environment,

and I am… we're not able to get past that.

[Rohan] So this is something
that we still have time to figure out.

He gave me a lot of reassurances,

and I genuinely felt that he likes me.

I'll do it, do you wanna do it?
Okay, let's go.

[dance music]

[crowd cheering]

[Vidushi] We didn't learn this!

[music stops]

[applause]

[light music]

[Ananya] It felt so special.

I felt like…

I was dancing in the air.

Like, I don't know. It was, like, so good.

[Vidushi in Hindi] After the movie date
between Chiragg and Sifat…

[in English]
…I was feeling more confused and angry.

I told him on his face…

[in Hindi] …to understand me.

I am frustrated.

You want me to be sure about you,

but the situation says otherwise.

Decide it.

-When I'm into you…
-I want more time with you.

…you're not at the same page as me.

But when I am…

I'm being the same as you,
then you have a problem with that.

How? So, okay, you are into me, okay.

You are maybe

five percent more into me than maybe I am.

-It was way more than five percent!
-Okay!

And I've been bloody vocal
about the fact that,

"Yes, Vidushi, I am into you.

I like you."

[Vidushi] I think Chiragg feels
more strongly about me,

than I feel about him at this stage.

[in Hinglish]
What do I do? I can't be dishonest.

I can't go all into it. I want to be sure.

-[in English] Suddenly, suddenly…
-But, Chiragg…

-your options are wide open. No, no, no.
-It's not about my options,

-that they are wide open.
-The problem is not the fact

that you don't know if you like me or not.

The problem is,

at one point,
I was meeting a lot of people,

now you've got a chance to do that.
So you want to exercise it, do it.

[suspenseful music]

Want another drink?

[Chiragg] Hi, excuse me.
Can I get another gin and tonic?

You guys okay?

Okay, let's split for a second.
Go there, let me go here. Listen.

[Ananya] Are you okay?

[in Hindi] Are you sure?

You want me to beat someone up?

No.

Now she has a problem with me
hanging out with Sif.

[in Hinglish] And I'm like,
when I was declaring to the world,

that "I like you," what did she say?
"I want time,

I want options, I want to explore."

[in Hindi] So, do it. What do I do?

Should I wait for her to realize
she likes me?

Everyone can see it. But she can't.

[in English] What should I do?

[in Hindi] What do I do?

[in English] He's just like,
"I am into you."

[in Hindi] How else do I assure you?

I told him I don't feel it.

I haven't met him for four days.

This is not where you say all this.

-Right now, just have a good time.
-I don't know why he wants to discuss it.

[Chiragg in English]
I was really trying hard to understand

where Vidushi is coming from…

[in Hinglish]…because it's not that
I haven't told her that I like her.

[in English] What do women want?

-[Ananya chuckles]
-[Vidushi] Okay, come. Can I steal him?

-Yeah.
-[Ananya] Yeah.

[Dhruv] Oh, sh*t, I have to talk
to Ananya again? Just kidding!

[laughs]

-[Vidushi] I don't wanna fight.
-I'm not fighting.

[Vidushi]
If you can feel possessive, so can I.

-If you can feel bad, so can I.
-So…

There is a change,
but I think it's a good change.

[Chiragg] I was happy
that she uttered the word "possessive".

I know it's difficult for you,

but you need to understand
it's difficult for me as well.

Sure, I'm living
with your online connection,

and I'm really bonding with her.

I'm trying to, like not make things,

um, ugly because that's not
the person I am.

I am not like that.

Having said that,

I want to feel things
that I have not felt.

Sure?

-Understood.
-f*cking down one drink.

[dance music]

[Vidushi] Let's talk while dancing.

Just to release my stress.

[dance music continues]

I get it, you're not there.

[in Hindi] Should I wait?

Tell me.

[in English] When I'm with you, I like it.
When I am not with you, I'm just like…

[Chiragg in Hindi]
Any problems saying that?

I have said it! You never listen.

You talk about all random things.

I will go away with someone else.

-No one knows how to dance.
-[laughs]

[Chiragg in English]
That was the first time we sort of

really felt something, I think.

This was like the perfect situation
you could put the both of us in.

[Vidushi in Hindi] I was lost
in the moment. I was looking at him…

[in English]
…and I have never felt like this.

It was, um, very magical.

[light music]

I think it allows couples
to go into a space which gets them closer.

[light music continues]

Being so close

was something I could not have even

anticipated so soon,

but we reached that point,

so I think we're definitely
making progress.

I think Bachata is a great dance form
for couples, for sure.

We did get a little closer
because of the dance.

♪ All this love is waiting here for you ♪

♪ All this love
In my heart I always knew ♪


[both] Girls!

We all came back like super happy
from the kind of time we spent.

We were all a little tipsy,

and, uh, everything was great
in this world.

Nothing at all could have given us
a bad time at that point.

-[Sifat] Why are you so happy?
-[Shimona] They are drunk, man.

Oh, girls, come. We need to talk.

-[Sifat] Like really.
-You come down.

We saw the girls
and they were just, like, so sad,

like our energy wasn't, like,
contagious to them at all, you know?

Okay, okay, shush-shush.
Shush, shush. Shush, shush.

They seem serious, okay.

[Sifat] Yeah, it's like dead serious.
I'm not kidding. Okay?

[Shimona] I mean, you can't imagine that…

what happened today.

-What happened?
-We want to know all about your date

-but, but, but, but…
-No, I… no…

[Sifat] Uh, Shivam left.

Like, we got a notification
that Shivam is leaving,

and we were just, like, "what the hell?"
And so we went.

We got a chance to say bye to him.

-So we went there.
-You…

Yeah, so we went there
and Pratham and Shivam were there, and…

Can't even tell you how it was.
It was like…

It was… It was so bad.
It was like super bad.

-He's left?
-Yeah.

[somber music]

I don't know. I'm really drunk.

So I don't know how to process it.

[Pratham] Bro, Shivam is not here.

-[Sahib] Where is Shivam?
-[Dhruv] What?

[Pratham] Shivam's gone.

-f*cking around or what?
-[in Hindi] Are you serious?

Swear, bro, I swear.

[in English] f*ck, we didn't get to say
bye also. But why the f*ck did he go?

-[in Hindi] I don't know…
-Well, this is a… I… Is this a joke?

This is not a joke. I mean…

[in English]
So that really hit us like a truck.

[Sahib] I didn't believe it.

I mean, I don't know
there was a bond with him.

Anyone leaving
doesn't make another person happy.

So he left a note. Even, bro, he left,

he wrote for Ananya too, man.

[in Hindi] Read it out.

[Pratham] "Hello there, people,
I did not expect

to be writing a letter while going,

and I would have loved to stay…
say it in person.

I'm a sucker for letters,
both giving and receiving them.

So to you guys, thank you for making
a house feel like home.

Thank you, for making honest effort
in making me feel comfortable


and part of everything you did.

Even when I sometimes preferred
sitting in a room.


Love you Dhruv and Sahib.

Hope to see you outside.

And to you, Ananya,
it was a pleasure meeting you,

and spend whatever time I got to spend,
I could.

Whatever disagreements we had,
all my respect to you

and well wishes,
hope to see you at some point,

cross paths,
if not as pre-decided matches,

but at least, as humans,
who can enjoy each other's presence."

I mean, sure, I'll miss him…

[in Hinglish] …but it's not that…

[in English] …it is not, it's okay.

[laughs]

Wow, I am coming across
like such an as*h*le.

It is what it is.

-[in Hindi] How were your dates?
-[in English] Mine was good.

At first, I was a little hesitant to go,

because I needed more time by myself,

but talking to Dhruv, I felt better.

Dhruv has to work his a*s off

to actually make me feel the way I did.

[suspenseful music]

-Hi.
-[gasps]

Oh, my God!

-[Ananya] Hi!
-[Faisal] Hi! What's up?

[in Hindi] Junglee Gentleman!
I had a fight with him.

[Ananya in English] Oh, my God!

[in Hindi] I had a fight with him.

He's really pissing me off now.

[in English] Message.

[in Hindi] "This bitterness is oozing out
after looking at your face.

Because normally,
I block people like you."

-[Faisal in English] How are you doing?
-I'm doing good. How are you?

-[in Hindi] Heard you were missing me?
-[Ananya] I did!

[in English]
And, uh, heard you were upset.

Oh, my God!
[chuckles]

[Ananya] I was like, "what the f*ck?"

'Cause that was Faisal,

my second Online Connection
that I actually ditched.

By the way, it's my birthday today.

-Happy birthday!
-Thank you.

I've made my decision.

I'm so sorry.

-Faisal Khan. Nice to meet you.
-Hi, Chiragg.

-Hi, buddy. Rohan.
-Rohan. Nice to meet you.

-Sakshi.
-Sakshi.

Al snooze.

-No.
-[Faisal] Really?

[Ananya giggles]

[in Hindi] I am Faisal Khan from Pune.

[Faisal] I am a student now.

[in English] I'm a really fun,
memorable kind of person.

-[Sakshi] She's so happy.
-I know. I am!

[Chiragg] Do we pour you a drink?

Look, he brought me Kaju Katli!
[giggles]

So, I figured it out

that, you know, because I couldn't
make a connection with Shivam,

that is why he is here because I begged

if I could change my Online Connection

'cause it was just not happening
with that guy,

and I think Meet Cute
just granted me my wish.

First off, I'm really sorry.

-Belated happy birthday.
-[chuckles]

-Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh!
-[Ananya laughs]

-You know about that?
-[Chiragg] Oh, bro.

[sighs]

[in Hindi] It hurt me here
when I heard it.

Bro, it hurt me all over!

[Chiragg laughs]

-[in English] Go ahead.
-So, uh, is he an Online Connection?

[Chiragg]
I love it when people come together.

-Cool!
-[in Hindi] When Junglee Gentleman came…

[in English]
…I was really happy for Ananya.

But though,

I was sad at the same time.

[in Hindi] I was regretting

fighting him.

Because I felt

he was the best among
all the Online Connections!

-You want to see my place first? My room.
-[Faisal] Yep.

-The yellow room, right?
-Yeah.

[in Hindi] Suddenly, she looks anxious.
She thinks someone will come for her too.

[in English] He's so handsome!

-He's so good looking!
-"So good looking?"

-[mutters]
-[in Hindi] sh*t! I made a mistake.

Sorry, you stand no chance now.

How cute he is!

Say it as many times as you want.

[in English]
Have you seen that eye contact?

[in Hindi]
I have always taken the wrong decisions.

I rejected the one

I should have selected

and vice versa.

[in English] I felt like
I had the connect with you…

-Yeah.
-Over text.

The thing is that I'm like a very in…

-in-person kind of a person.
-Mm-hmm.

Like video, it's, like,
you can't smell me.

-I smell good.
-[laughs]

And, yeah, I just feel like in person,
I'm so much more fun.

I think it was the worst mistake
I ever did in the show.

Okay. For me, what matters is that, uh,

I'm here for you.
I don't wanna rush things.

-I know.
-Uh, if you're like upset,

and, you know, in a vulnerable space,
take your time.

Um, I'm here

-and don't worry.
-Thank you.

This just feels like a dream.

I swear to God, I'm not kidding.

[soft music]

[Ananya grunts]
I am so sorry.

It's okay.

[in Hindi] It doesn't matter to me
if she has another connection

or someone does with her.

[in English]
What matters is I'm here for her.

-[Ananya] Bye.
-Bye. I'll see you soon.

[Ananya] Yeah.

Come here. Come here. It's fine.

-It's all good, okay?
-Bye. Yeah. Yeah.

[Faisal] See you, take care. Good night.

-[Rohan] Happy?
-Happy!

Dude, I am flying!

[playful music]

-What's up, bro? We are so happy, bro.
-Yeah, bro.

-Faisal. Faisal. Nice to meet you.
-Dhruv. Nice to meet you, man. Come here.

-Faisal.
-Hi, I am Sahib.

And my first reaction was literally like…
[clicks tongue]

Man, what the f*ck?

[Dhruv in Hindi]
His hairstyle made me cry.

I wished I had hair like that.

No kidding

It felt like one Shivam
had replaced the other.

[ball clanking]

[in English] When was the last time
you talked to Ananya?

Oh, I just met her and came.

[Dhruv in Hindi] I did feel weird.
Not gonna lie.

Not because there was a new guy,

but I wondered if Ananya knew
that a new guy was coming?

that he would come.

[in English] Are you, like,
a relationship kind of a guy?

[in Hindi] What kind of a guy are you?

[in English]
I have had terrible relationships,

-but that's fine. We all do.
-Join the club, brother.

-[Dhruv] Join the club.
-And yeah, like, long distance…

[in Hindi]
…relationships have been common.

-That's why they were terrible.
-And serious relationships.

[in English] I never fooled around, man.

-Not once.
-Wow, bro! This is good.

So now we understand why you're here.

-Oh. Foul. Sorry.
-No sweat. No foul. Its your first day.

-We'll do all that from tomorrow.
-[laughs]

It's all fair today.

[in English] So what do you do, man?

-I play basketball professionally.
-He is a professional basketball player.

He has been ranked number one
in India too.

-What?
-Yeah, he is a professional baller, bro.

-That's crazy.
-Yeah, man.

-Basketball was actually my first sport.
-[in Hindi] Do you play?

-[Faisal in English] Terrible at it.
-Okay.

-But you love the game.
-But that's one thing we can compete at.

Okay, okay.

[laughter]

That's what he was waiting to hear.

No, I'll be terrible at it,
but I'm just saying,

I'll be competitive there.

-You're a competitive dude, right?
-I'll be, I'm a competitive dude.

-I am, I am.
-That's… Yeah. Perfect.

[Sahib]
That sport is where they all want to…

We pretty much like
we just got another like…

Like, I know you'll, like,
eat me up alive.

-Yeah, that's for sure, that's for sure.
-[Faisal] That's for sure.

-[Dhruv] I will, I will.
-[Faisal] Yeah, yeah.

[in Hindi] He sounded so humble.

So grateful. It's tough
to hate someone like that.

He's very sweet.

[in English]
I actually want what's best for him…

[cheerful music]

…as long as that's not Ananya.

[music stops]

[comical music]

Who has ever said no
to a great weekend trip?

[in Hindi] This is going
to be really awkward.

[Vidushi] It's a threesome,

and neither will I do it again.

[in English] Are you, um,

romantically inclined towards someone?

Yes.

-This sh*t is really pissing me off.
-What do you mean?

I don't appreciate what he's doing
and I'm only telling you,

I'm not… You do what you got to do.

But like just be careful

'cause what he's doing is not cool.

Maybe some people
don't give the ring to anybody.

Would you be one of them?

[suspenseful music]

[Sakshi in Hindi] Hey, man!
I am asking you a simple question!

Why are you here?

[in English] This was definitely,
in the history of the Taj Mahal,

the most unromantic date
that can happen there.

[soft music playing]
