01x04 - Episode 4

[bunniefuu]

[crickets chirping]

[tense music]

I'll call you back.

There was a moment, I saw her and, uh…

I felt I cannot let her go.

Decision time!

[Chiragg]
"Select your final online connection,

who do you feel most connected to?"

[Ananya] What the hell?

Out of the blue,
you've just video call them,

and suddenly you need to tell them,
you know, it's not working out.

-HI! What's up?
-How are you?

-By the way, it's my birthday today.
-[gasps]

Happy birthday!

Thank you.

Oh, I wish I can come and give you
some present, like…

Or a hug.

Dude, I'm going to give
the worst present ever… like, ever!

How do I put it? So…

Just comparing the talk we had
like on video chat,

and the chats that we had,

I have to select one to move forward,

and I've made my decision.

I'm so sorry.

I… I swear to God.

It makes me feel even bad
because it's your birthday today and…

It's okay.

I don't know if I can ever get to know him
as a person or as a friend,

but I definitely know that…

that he's not going to be, you know,
in the journey of

me trying to find
a love connection for me.

[line ringing]

Hello!

What's up?

Oh, sh*t!

[in Hindi] I have to have such a
conversation at the beginning of the day.

[in English] What's wrong?
[chuckles]

Ah…

So, uh…

[in Hindi] I think our plan
for the Halloween party…

Hmm?

…will have to be canceled.

[in English] Oh, that's fine.

Don't worry about it.

-[chuckles]
-[in Hindi] Hey, okay, with all honesty…

[in English]
…I loved talking to you.

[in Hindi] But it felt like I'm talking
to a friend more than somebody that…

[in English] It's perfectly fine.

In fact, you know,
I'm glad you enjoyed our conversation

and the fact that you're saying that
you feel like you've spoken to a friend

is really sweet, so don't stress at all.

[in Hindi] Okay, then.

[in English]
I will not take up more of your time…

-Yeah. It was nice, man.
-Thank you for being so…

It was nice talking to you.

I was just hoping, you know what?

The person that I actually decided
to go with, it's really worth it

because I am sure that right now,
I'm saying no to a great human being.

It has been a pleasure.

Bye!

When you have to decide

on the basis of facts,

you can get indecisive.

[Rohan] Meet Cute, please, uh,
call "Makuna Hatata."

[line ringing]

[beeps]

-Hi!
-Hi!

Yeah. So, I just wanted to tell you
that I really like you,

and I enjoy talking to you.

And I would like to go out with you
sometime.

-Really?
-Yeah.

That sounds good to me.

Cool. Perfect.

I'm so sorry about what happened.
There was some glitch. I think. Yeah.

In your head, or heart?

[Shimona chuckles]

I think I'm happy with my decision
because I just went with my gut.

[Rohan in Hindi] If I keep thinking
about what it would have been

with the other person, it's a waste.

[in English]
I avoided that by ghosting her.

[birds chirping]

[in Hindi] I don't have the guts
to tell someone to their face

that I don't like you.
If you and I have a fight,

then I'm very straightforward.

The decision that you ultimately took
to ghost him

was with the intention
that you don't want to deal

-with this anymore.
-Yeah.

[in English]
That is you taking a stand.

-Yeah.
-Right?

This is something that
you also should be doing in life.

-[Ananya in Hindi] What happened?
-[Rohan] Nothing.

-[Chiragg] Did you say yes to both?
-[Rohan] No, pal.

You are my only real connection now?

[Rohan groans]

-[Sakshi] Want some water?
-Lots of of it.

Want some juice?
Please get him some water.

Want something else?

[in English] You should… Maybe you should…
The stand that you took right now

is something that should also reflect
in your real connection as well.

[in Hindi]
So what if… in my past relation,

I was hurt a lot after a certain point

and I wanted to quit,

but I am someone
who can be convinced easily,

and I get manipulated very easily,
to be very honest,

he convinced me saying…

[in English] …"Now I love you."
"Please don't leave me. I'll change."

"I'll cut my hand.
I'll do whatever, whatever…"

Please cut your hand!

-[Sakshi in Hindi] Whatever.
-Ask him to go die.

Right now, even this simple situation

where I just have to just say
I'm not interested, I couldn't handle!

Then how do I deal with it in real life?

To give you a genuine advice…

[in English] …I would suggest
despite you having ghosted him,

if you can still go and tell him
right now, that sorry I'm…

It will not only do wonders for him…

[in Hindi] He will not only get closure,

but it will also do wonders for you
because you'll start taking a stand.

Or else, you'll keep repeating
the same pattern.

-I feel like crying.
-In yesterday's date…

[in English]
What happened? Are you crying?

I don't know how to…

It's okay.

[in Hindi] He's making me more self-aware.

[in English] But it's good that
you're actually understanding

-what is happening…
-[in Hindi] Even I'll cry now.

Even I'm in a dilemma right now.

-Please don't cry.
-Then you better skip my story.

If you are afraid of doing something,

-just say one, two three, and just do it.
-[in Hindi] You ghosted him, so did I.

[Chiragg] Even you did?

Oh, man!

-I couldn't do it.
-[in English] f*ck, man!

I'm gonna cry now.

[theme music]

[in Hindi] All those four singles
are staying in one place.

Exactly! It would've been be fun
if we were in the same villa together.

[in English] They probably don't spend
enough time with each other.

[Sakshi S] They do.

-How do you know?
-Of course, dear.

-Rohan told me.
-What did he say?

[Sakshi S in Hindi] All four of them sit
and discuss together.

They even chat.

-About us?
-They chill.

[in English] And he was like,
"We are now very good friends."

-"We are now very good friends"?
-[Sakshi S] Yes.

Rohan is very tight with Chiragg.

-Oh, really?
-[Sakshi S] Yes.

That's interesting.

But don't worry, I have got us covered.

I told them all four of us
are very good friends…

[in Hindi]
…and we share talks among ourselves.

So Rohan will of course tell Chiragg.

Those two girls will also know

that their guys also flirt with us,
so they better be careful.

-I fanned the flames.
-[Jagriti] You told them everything?

Look, the game is such that

you either hide all your cards

or reveal all of them.
[laughs]

[Jagriti] Let them worry a bit, too.

It's not unreasonable.

Exactly.

All four of them should worry,

why only us?

They have options, huh?

[TV chimes]

-"Missing someone?"
-You have water?

-[gasps]
-[Chiragg] "Missing someone?"

-Yeah!
-[Chiragg] "They are missing you too!"

"Enjoy the evening
in the Connection Houses."

Yeah!

[in Hindi] Heard the good news?

-I heard it.
-More than being happy

about meeting Sahib,

I'm scared of facing the other.

[in English] We are there.

-Yeah, please, please be there.
-[Ananya] We'll help you out.

I didn't know what to expect.

[in Hindi]
We were just told that we'd to go there.

I did not know what we had to do there.

[upbeat music]

[in English]
All of us had been looking forward to it.

[Chiragg in Hindi] We singles
were talking about it since a long time.

[in English] You know, we need to spend
a little more time with them.

[Chiragg in Hindi]
We needed a chill kind of a situation.

We didn't want the pressure
we felt on dates.

[in English] We just need some downtime,
or chill time with them.

Nice.

It's beautiful.

Honey, I'm home!

What's up, guys?
[laughs]

Whoa!

[in Hindi]
They're going to start a w*r here.

What's gonna happen?
All the girls are here,

and all four our connections are similar

and both of them were here.

It was going to be so awkward and weird.

-[Ashita in English] How are you?
-[Chiragg] I'm good! How are you?

Hi! How are you?

-What's up?
-Hey, 4th June!

Good to see you again.

-Good.
-Hi.

Hi, guys!

[Ananya] Yay.

-Hi, boys.
-[Sakshi] How are you?

Pleasant, no?

-[Ananya] Hi.
-[Sakshi] Good, good, good. Thank you.

[Sakshi in Hindi] I knew for sure

that at the Connection House,
Virender is one such person

who does not let me talk to Sahib.

I think that sometimes you…

I mean, please don't get me wrong.

You sometimes force things…

I mean, force things onto them

and it is wrong.

[in English]
It should be a two-way conversation.

[in Hindi] When I would give you
the right that you are my boyfriend…

[in English]
…then you will be able to kiss me here,

otherwise you will not.

[in Hindi] As you told me…

[in English] …I felt so bad.

He told me something.

He told me that when we were in pool,

I was zoned out.

[in Hindi] I was not in my senses.

[in English] He kissed me here.
He kissed me here.

And I did something like this.

[in Hindi] I swear, I don't even
remember when did he do that.

[dramatic music]

[in English] I told them as well.

But I… Did I say yes?

-You were…
-You were like, "Can I kiss you?"

[in Hindi] I was drunk and didn't know
what was going on.

[in English] You remember it now?
You said that you don't remember it.

[in Hindi] Even earlier, I told you…

[in English]
…I don't remember. I don't lie.

-How did you know?
-[Sakshi] I don't lie.

How do you know how it happened?

I was not agree to it.

I know that thing,

because it should be mutual then.

-It was mutual.
-Do you really think so?

Don't even say that.

I'm not going to even talk to you
if you say that it was mutual.

I had no feelings for you
to be very frank.

See, he thought that… he genuinely felt…

-He didn't.
-He didn't know.

[in Hindi] I think I'll get some water.

[in English] I'll tell you what happened.

He's making it a…

-He is saying in a very different way.
-Can I tell you?

-That was really wrong.
-[Sahib] Can I tell you what happened?

[Sahib] You were also feeling it.

Listen, I'll tell you something.

[in Hindi] I'm with you.

I don't want to say this now

but now I'm telling you,
he was throwing himself to me.

I told you about the little kiss?

-Yeah, I heard she said she was drunk.
-Very innocent? Yeah.

-Consent.
-[in Hindi] Listen, pal, firstly…

no matter how drunk you are,

at that moment, your mood…

[in English]
You cannot have a f*cking mood swing

and just change your words like that.

[in Hindi] At that moment,
you're in a certain mood

and your body language is a certain way,

and you do something…

[in English] …and now suddenly
you're in your senses,

and you feel, "Oh, my God!"

"How I might be coming across?"

And now you're trying to backtrack
and show it in some other light.

-Making you look a certain way.
-Making me look a certain way.

Like a pervert. I'm looking like
a f*cking pervert right now

and I'm feeling f*cking insulted.

She's dangerous.

Almost at the edge of, I would say,
character assassination is happening.

[in Hindi] Luckily at that moment,
it was all documented.

Thank God!

-[TV chimes]
-[gasps]

-Okay, this is interesting.
-Okay.

-I was giving you the comfortable spot.
-[laughs]

"Have you all figured out
what you want or don't? And who?"

Yes, we have. We have.

We have, what about the ladies?

[Vidushi in Hindi] Only they can
pick "who". We have only one choice.

[in English] But sure…

"If not, do what you need to.

But figure out which connections
are stronger. Today."

[in Hindi] Now there will be fights again.

[in English] Of course, it is for you.

I don't know.

[in Hindi] Okay,
who's going to grab Chiragg first?

[Vidushi] Me or Ashita?

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

-"Hope you use this time well."
-"Hope you use this time well."

[imitates clock ticking]

[suspenseful music]

We were not expecting this.
It was very scary.

[Jagriti] Every girl was wondering…

[in Hindi]
…what was going to happen.

[in English] Every girl was nervous
and every girl was just scared.

I will not say anything to please you

or to make an impression or to, like…
or whatever…

-to make a connection…
-That'll throw me off?

Yeah. So in these days,
I thought about it and I felt

that I actually have never spoken
to you about how… how you feel about me.

Or what do you think about me? Or…

How is it… What's running in your mind?

I'm not able to read you, Chiragg.

[Vidushi in Hindi]
We are still not buddies yet.

[in English] But, yeah, I was like, "okay,
I'll wait for it. I'll wait for it."

And now we're sitting here, um…

Someone has to, like, leave and…

Yes, I was just like,
I wish Chiragg would open up more to me,

and this is why I had, like,
this complaint from you,

and I'm sorry if I came across
as, like, complaining.

[somber music]

It's like,
I feel both of our guards are up.

I know you're trying…

[in Hindi]
…but I take a little longer and I know it.

[in English] I'm trying to change that.

I want to know you deeper.

I want to understand
if you are actually the kind of person…

[in Hindi] …who can tolerate me
and who wants me as a person…

[in English]
…or who would like to be with me.

And who I would like to be with, you know?

I know what both of you
must be feeling right now.

I mean, yeah, it's nice that you know
what both of us are feeling

but just don't be hard on yourself.

I'm not being hard on myself.

But I don't make a…

I'm at least trying not to make a mistake.

Which is very important to me.

On the first date, the moment you, uh…
like, you entered,

you reminded me of a person in my past.

-Okay. Okay.
-He looks exactly like you.

And that gave me like a heart attack.

Okay. f*ck!

I'm not even kidding.

[in Hindi] I don't know why my face
resembles the exes of so many girls.

[in English] Really?
This is not the first time?

No. This is not the first time, man.

I've been told a lot of times.

It was just a momentary reaction
that I had.

After that, I put that aside.
Like, we're cool.

-That didn't bother me.
-Okay.

But out of all those eight people I met,

I found a connection with you.

I really found you very nice to me

and a very strong connection with you
and it's very natural for me.

[in Hindi] But you see,
I'm trying to find a romantic connection.

-[in English] It's been six years.
-[mutters]

To be honest,
I still haven't found that person.

[somber music]

The thing is…

[in Hindi] …after a long time,
somebody has asked me what I want.

[in English] I'm not used to anybody
trying to get close to me.

[in Hindi] Because for a long time…

[in English] …I've not had anybody
trying to get close to me

and when somebody is trying,

it's just a foreign feeling.

But I like you.

I'm sure about it.

-I see…
-[in Hindi] I can scream it out loud.

First, say it to me.

[in English] Because, yeah…

Haven't you, like,
figured it out till now?

Some things are, like,
nice if they are heard.

Well, I like you.

[in Hindi] A lot.

A whole lot.

[in English] Yeah, I'm not someone
who usually puts efforts, but…

I thought that I should.
[chuckles]

-I get it.
-Yeah.

So…

Are you blank, or do you have,
like, a lot of thoughts?

I have a lot of thoughts.

I mean,
I have got a good connection with you.

And I had… I had a great night,
you know, on my birthday.

What I share with you is very different
from what I share with her.

Of course, it's very individual.

You are… you are not like her,

and she is not like you.
You are very different.

I think I'm very different.

-Yeah.
-Yeah. You are.

So, you know, there are some things
that I really like about you

and there are some things
that I really like about her.

Yeah.

-In a situation like this…
-[both chuckle]

…it's just…

I get it, I get it.

[in Hindi] It made it easy for me
to take a decision.

If this is how you behave,
I don't even want to be friends with you.

[in English] Oh, my God!

[in Hindi] All this time,
you were making such tall claims

that you've fallen in love with me.

[in English] I'm your only choice,
if I'm not the one… then there's nobody.

[in Hindi] What happened?
Was it just for show?

It all vanished so quickly?

[in English] You guys
both are saying the same thing

Like, he's saying,
"She should clear it with me,"

and you're saying, like,
"He should come and clear it with me."

-[in Hindi] I just heard something.
-Hmm.

Firstly, don't hide behind subterfuge.

-Always try to take your own--
-Wow! Who am I hiding behind?

-I will tell you that.
-Is it because I was direct?

-So you can't take it?
-[Virendra] No, no, no.

-[in English] This conversation…
-I'll tell you what. I'll tell you what.

-This is what the real him.
-[Virendra] See, the question here…

Now it's coming out.

-[Dhruv] Have the conversation. Yeah.
-I'm trying to tell

-what she's just saying…
-Yeah, I know.

[in Hindi] …I made many claims.

-If she was…
-Huh!

[in English] The way you're behaving
is very different.

-You can't even clear it out.
-No, no…

The way you…
[stammers]

-…character assassinated me.
-I was just talking to you.

[in Hindi] If at all…

-Only you think so.
-You did character assassination.

If I had to create problem
the other day we were sitting there…

-If a problem were to happen…
-You are not listening! No!

-It would have happened there.
-If you guys want to have a conversation,

one at a time,
if you want to talk about it.

He's not even looking at me.

[in Hindi] Because this is not the way
to discuss.

This is not done!

-Is this the way?
-[in English] If you guys want to talk…

-Talk one at a time.
-[in Hindi] Listen.

-One at a time.
-If I had to create problems…

May I say something, Dhruv?

[in English] f*ck it!

Wow! Wow!

[disturbed music]

This is what he is.

I felt violated, attacked and betrayed

because I opened myself to her,

and this was my area
where I was very, very vulnerable.

Very vulnerable.

And somebody coming in like that

and hitting me that bad.

[Sakshi] This is what he is.

[in Hindi] He was putting up an act
and when he realized that…

[in English]
…I am not going to select him.

This is it for him.

[in Hindi] That's when
his reality was revealed.

His true colors and the games he played.

[breathes deeply]

I didn't have any objection
to who she chose.

[in English] Doesn't make any difference.

[in Hindi] But the way she chose to do it,

it was not just wrong,

but totally inhumane.

[suspenseful music]

[dramatic music]

Everybody was thinking.

[in English]
What to do now, what not to do.

[Ashita in Hindi] When I was going to talk
to Chiragg, I wasn't thinking much.

I didn't know
if he would tell me his decision

or if we would just talk.

How are you?

Good.

-And…
-How are you?

It's a bit intense for me.

[in English]
Why didn't you come see me now?

I was expecting somewhere
at some point, you'll come and say,

"Okay. Can we have some time or not?"

I'm not that kind of person
who would interrupt.

[in Hindi] You could've come, too.

I've come to the villa, right?

[in English]
I came to talk to the both of you.

[in Hindi] I actually don't like it.
It's not good manners.

[in English] Sometimes you have to
forget your manners.

-Interesting.
-It's okay. We have time now.

[in Hindi] I wanted to thank you
for inspiring me to start writing again.

And I've written a poem for you today.

"I run down the dark alley

towards the moonlit road…

Trying to see my moon through
the shadow of tall conifers that board…

What phase would be my moon tonight?

Crescent in its love and still add light.

Maybe I wait another night,
maybe I get another sight.

Tonight my moon shines brighter,
looks flawless, and mundanely whiter.

My moon smiled a knowing smile

befriending the rhythm
of a different style.

I don't wish any more
to see the day's light

because tonight is a full moon night."

A lot of things are going on in my head.

You and I both know that
there is some connection that we feel.

-Yeah. Yes, it is.
-It's there.

But I also feel like, you know,
we skipped the entire, you know,

sort of emotional and…

you know, connecting mentally and…

And of course, there is attraction, but…

there's something that is missing.

♪ I tell myself I've said enough ♪

And I just want you to know
that you're very nice girl.

And you know that I like you.

No matter how I put it, it sounds…

bad only, and…

So, I'm really sorry.

♪ I think it's over, though ♪

I respect it and I accept it.

So yeah, cool.

-I'm really sorry.
-Yeah, it's okay.

Take care. Okay?

-Bye. See you.
-Bye.

[Sakshi S] When a guy wants you,
he shows it to you.

You don't have to go after him.

And I am not someone…

[in Hindi]
…who would go after someone.

[in English] If you want me,

you choose me on your own.

I'm not an option.

I'll be honest.

Ever since I've met you,

of all the dates that I went out on,

you were genuinely, genuinely genuine.

Maybe that is the reason I really wanted
to find out if we get along or not.

But despite all the dates
being really good,

it is just that I always felt that

they were just very similar to what
I've experienced with you throughout.

I didn't know you were this cool person
who taunts

and who has that side to her.

I always felt that I'm meeting doctor

and doctor is always a sweet,
nice person.

[in Hindi] And I kept trying that…

[in English]
…maybe there is something, I will…

I'll get to know her
on a much more deeper level,

and maybe that will be
the point we would connect.

I know where this is going.

[Chiragg] With all admiration for you…

-It's okay.
-And all… And you're really sweet.

Really, you don't have to.

Because I have been
on the receiving end before and…

that fear and heartbreak and…

-You know…
-Genuinely!

Everytime I met you,
I met with an open heart.

But I was like I'm meeting
the same person every time.

[Chiragg] Our conversation
wasn't going any deeper.

[in Hindi] Didn't you feel that?

No, I didn't feel that.

I always felt good with you.

[in English] But I always knew
that you liked Vidushi more

because of how you look at her,

and how you are always in her vicinity.

I knew what you would say tonight.

-So it is okay.
-Is it that obvious?

It is, it is…

And she's a great girl!
Why wouldn't you like her?

She makes me vulnerable.

And it is okay.

[in Hindi] But there is nothing as such
from my end.

I like you a lot.

I like everything about you,
especially your intelligence.

[in English]
Worst thing I can say right now,

but I will say it. I'm used to it.

So it's okay.

♪ The place where our love was safe ♪

[dramatic music]

[Ashita in Hindi] Have you been told?

-[Sakshi S] Yeah.
-About your decision.

-Yes?
-[in English] I'm eliminated.

[Ashita] Okay. Same.

-Yeah, I know.
-[Ashita] It was, like… but obvious.

Yeah. So, like the first ones

who went are eliminated. So basically,

Rohan lied to me on the date.

When I was telling you guys
that he told Jagriti,

"No, we didn't get to pick."

"That was not the first choice
or something. It was just random."

Thank God, if it like…

[Ashita in Hindi] For the special date,
right? When they had that…

-The aerial yoga one?
-Yes, yes.

[in English] So, on the last one,
he, like, lied to me.

So, that's the only thing
that made me feel,

like, was he dishonest all the time?

-I didn't…
-It's okay. Confront him.

-Maybe he didn't want to hurt you.
-I didn't…

But, why lie?

[Virendra breathes deeply]

-Hello.
-Hello.

How are you?

[Virendra grunts]

Um… the only thing I say is right now…

[in Hindi] …I was wrong at some point but…

[in English] …I'm glad, I'm glad.

Because, uh, from day one…

I was sensing something
which was, you know, not right

and that was evident

from now what that has, you know,
that has happened because…

[in Hindi] …for me nothing
is more important than my self-respect.

[in English]
I just want to say one thing.

Thank you for showing me
who you actually are.

[in Hindi] Someday if we had a fight,

you would have stooped down to a level

that I cannot even imagine.

I mean, "Go to hell! Blah, blah, blah…"

[in English] Oh, my God!

[in Hindi] I do not think
that there is any boy here

who, if a girl refuses him,

would stoop to such lows.

There was no need for you to scream…

that you were hurt.

So, um, that's why you are neither
my choice, nor can be.

-And…
-[in English] Thank you. My pleasure.

-I'm saved.
-And that's all.

And thank you so much for everything.

[somber music]

On the last date itself,

when I asked you,
"Did you get to pick someone first?"

You said that,
"No, it was, like, uh, already prepared."

"We were not given a choice."

Did you, like, lie to me or something?

How can I say that like that, right?

-Let me please complete.
-Please. Okay.

So, the last time I met you,
you also said that, you know,

sometimes people are alike
and you don't feel romantic with them.

But then, sometimes people are different.

-Like, you are different from me and…
-Uh-huh.

You know, I actually said that to her.

-You said that to her?
-I said, what I share with you

is more sort of a little romantic.

-But it's too fast.
-Mm.

-Right? We did not…
-But like…

-You, you…
-We did not get to know each other

emotionally and mentally.

-You promptly…
-Did I not say that to you?

Don't you think that, in a way, you also,

like, led me on and you shouldn't have?

-How do I…
-Of course, I respect you.

But then I felt a little disrespected
by these two things.

Listen, I'm really sorry
if you felt disrespected,

but, you know, it was too fast and…

Do you really think that
you know me that well?

Of course, I don't, but then…

Don't you agree
that it was a little rushed

-and not real? Don't you feel that?
-But, um…

-don't you think I was honest with you?
-Don't you feel like you were just

-trying to…
-Don't you think you should have been

a little honest with me?

And do you… Are you offended right now…

-When was I…
-…because I'm confronting you?

No, no. You're supposed to do
what you're supposed to do.

-It's fine.
-You are getting defensive.

I'm not getting defensive.
I'm just telling you the truth.

[clears throat]
I did not lie to you.

-First day I met you…
-Mm-hm.

…you seemed really nervous.
I think I've told you about that, right?

-Yeah.
-[in Hindi] So, after that, uh…

[in English] …we spoke,
I really wanted to know you more.

And I know it's too soon to actually think
about something like this and, you know…

To judge that maybe I'm not finding
that connection that I'm wanting from you.

Like I connect with you more
in a friendship basis

than, you know, in a serious one.

[chuckling]

Okay.

♪ Each time you appear ♪

♪ I see you covertly in silence ♪

[Yatin in Hindi]
I don't have any hate for Ananya.

I just wish you find the one
you are looking for.

Because not everyone gets what they want.

So if you're lucky enough
then please hold on to it.

[in English] Are you going to shake hands
with me, or are we hugging?

I'll hug you.

-Thank you.
-Because I have always liked you.

♪ Where our love was safe ♪

[Ashita in Hindi]
We can't force anyone to like us.

[in English]
Everyone has the free will and the choice

to like and love whoever they want.

♪ Come, let's go there again ♪

It's not cool for you to, like, lie.

[Rohan] I don't think I lied.

Of course, you did. Anyways…

Cool.

And it was also not nice of you
to just walk away like that.

[Sakshi S] What do you expect me
to do after you say?

-Anyways…
-I mean, if you meant what you told me

those things you could have…

[Sakshi S] I'm heavily disappointed.

I felt disrespected.

No one is above my self-respect.

No one. Not even him, even if I like him.

Not at all.

Did you see that temperament?

-[stammers]
-What lie did I make?

I don't think you lied.

I think it's… She's hurt

because she feels for you and…

I get it.

I just didn't connect with her like that.

It's okay. I get it, I get it.

[birds chirping]

[ball clanking]

The next morning felt really relaxed.

Seemed like there is nothing around,
just me and my connection.

There would be smoothing sailing
from here on.

[woman chuckles]

[in English] Hi, guys!

-Oh!
-[Sahib] Wow!

-Hello!
-[Dhruv] You guys gotta stop surprising…

No. You don't have to stop
but these are really nice surprises, man.

-[chuckles]
-[Dhruv] You guys look super nice.

[Sahib] We wanted them to come
but we didn't expect it.

And suddenly they turned up
out of nowhere.

[in Hindi] And it felt great to see them.

[Sahib] Sakshi was looking so pretty.

-I'm so happy!
-[chuckling]

-What a great start to our morning.
-So, you didn't know that we are coming?

-No!
-No, we never know anything.

[upbeat music]

[in Hindi] Let's wait to know
when we will go on a date.

Let's wait for Meet Cute.

-Meet Cute…
-[Vidushi] Oh, my God!

-Whaddup, yo?
-[chuckles]

[Chiragg in English]
Finally, I could spend time with Vidushi.

I was looking forward to it.

[in Hindi] I could talk to her at leisure

and there was no pressure

that someone else is waiting to talk to me
or I'll have to split my time.

[Vidushi] This was a surprise.

I understood that for him

this was something, you know.
It mattered to him,

and he did see something. So…

Seeing him was very freeing

and I felt more close to him

and I felt more comfort with him.

[in Hindi] I thought that you and her
probably have a similar vibe

-which probably…
-[in English] See, I gave it my best shot.

-Yeah.
-[Rohan] Everybody has layers.

-Yeah. Yeah.
-Maybe that is one of my layers.

But I'm supposed to choose
the better person.

-Mm-hm.
-So this is more like me and that is not.

-So you have no regrets, right?
-I have no regrets.

-So that's perfect. Yeah.
-I know that I made the right decision.

Don't be cautious, man.

[in Hindi] Yeah, but I felt

if I don't get cautious now,
and just keep going with the flow,

it might ruin things for me.

[in English] I was just happy
at that moment that I'm chosen

or I'll get a chance
to get to know him more.

Our thing is that, um,
since we are so close,

we thought that we both also want
to develop a relationship with you guys.

Not, like same. I want to develop
a relationship with you…

-Oh! Yeah.
-…and he wants to develop a relationship

-with her.
-Yeah, yeah.

-Because I know you guys are close too.
-Okay, so we have to…

hang out together.

Yeah. I know that you guys
are close too and…

It's just like really natural and fun.

-As fun as it gets. So obviously.
-Oh, that's so sweet of you. Yeah.

We always wanted a double date

and when the two girls came,

I felt like our wishes were granted.

And also if you guys have
to f*cking dump one of us,

then we can… I'll come to you
and he'll come to her.

-"How could you do that?" That's a joke.
-We will not do this.

-Already? No you wait for a few days.
-We have to dump somebody?

-We are not that bad.
-[Dhruv] No, you are not.

-Which is why we like you guys.
-[chuckles]

"Judgy, boring, confused…" No way.

"Warm, charismatic, good-looking, tall…"

"Seemed genuine, actor, writer,
pol science, reads…"

Pol science is third?

These are just pointers

that I remembered about you.
What is this third?

"Good day as a whole.

Try to be more interesting. Listen more."

-Okay, Chiragg…
-[in Hindi] Next entry.

-This is too much now.
-Next entry.

[Vidushi in English]
Today, he was opening up.

He was genuinely making
an effort to know me and, uh…

[in Hindi]
Seemed like he was doing it on purpose.

He was going extreme.
Just one jolt and such change…

[both mutter]

[in English] Oh, you prepped.
Oh, my God! You prepped…

What the hell? This is not happening.

I prepped as in… No, this is what
I've written after it, Chiragg.

[Chiragg] "Talk about…"

[Vidushi] Chiragg.

This is not done. Listen. Shut up!

[Vidushi] It was a cute moment.

[in Hindi] I was expecting such goofiness.

I mean, it was a bit annoying
but I was enjoying it.

[gate creaks]

When Vidushi and I were talking

and I was thinking everything is fine now,

the world is set, everything is balanced,

life was going smooth, then out of nowhere

I sensed a storm approaching.

[Chiragg] I could hear its rumbling.

So, I could already hear
two voices approaching.

And I had this feeling
that something would happen.

I was having a conversations here
and the sound got closer and closer.

Somehow my conversation
was getting drowned out

and the sounds got louder.

[Chiragg in English]
And then I see two girls enter.

-Hi!
-Hi!

-[Vidushi] Hi!
-Hi!

I was like, "Oh! Oh. Okay."
[exclaims]

Wow, Chiragg!

What's up, Chiragg?

-Hi!
-[Shimona] Hi!

-I'm Vidushi.
-Shimona.

[Vidushi] Shimona, nice to meet you!

[Vidushi] I'm like… What was going on?

I was like… Okay, uh, okay…

Okay, uncomfortable!

Not uncomfortable. It's okay.

Uh, Rohan, we have someone.

[Jagriti] I saw two really,
really pretty girls walk up the stairs

and the prettier one
was walking straight up to Rohan.

She smiled at Rohan
and Rohan smiled at her.

It seemed like
they were already pretty close

and I did not know
why or how that happened.

-I'm Chiragg.
-Hi, I'm Jagriti.

-Pleasure to meet you.
-Hi. Nice to meet you.

-Nice to meet you.
-Uh… We'll just be back.

-[laughter]
-[Vidushi] Wow! Really awkward.

[clock ticking]

Look, at some point, we knew…

this was going to happen.

[in Hindi]
You still have to introduce them.

Mine has already happened.

Where were you until now?

[in English] I was sitting downstairs.

Sifat enters and she's like,
"Hi! What's happening?"

[in Hindi] What did you say
about how we knew them?

That question hasn't arisen yet.

And when it does…

-So what do I tell?
-Then I'll drown in this very glass.

How do I explain how I know her?

[in English] Be honest.

[in Hindi]
I will have to take some vitamin C.

[Vidushi in English] Let's not make it
difficult for them, guys.

[in Hindi]
I mean… Rohan is stunned, I can say.

[in English]
He's like, "Okay, you guys are talking."

Of course, I was unhappy a bit, you know?

It was a bummer because she's so pretty.

[lively music]

[in Hindi]
I'm always into my partner all the time.

I mean, my partner
is the only thing for me then.

[in English]
That is how I am in my relationships.

I don't know anything about her,
but I opened up to her.

I felt like she understood
what I was trying to say.

[Shimona in Hindi]
When I saw Rohan for the first time,

my heart started beating faster.

It's like the butterflies you get
during school days…

[in English] …when you see someone.
So I had that.

[in Hindi] I think we had a connections
emotionally and mentally.

And I thought that if I had to go ahead,
I want only him.

[in English]
I think I have made my decision.

You have? Already?

[in Hinglish] Already? You haven't even
talked yet, only the intro is done.

[in English] The smile, I told you.

[Chiragg in Hindi]
You're falling for smiles a lot lately.

[in Hinglish] Relax, my boy. Take it easy.

[in English] I think I know
your decision also, sort of.

-I'm not a stupid guy.
-[laughter]

[upbeat music]

I've always lived in a hostel.

[in Hindi] I lived in six cities.

Everywhere I was the new girl.
It's the same here too.

I think I'm bubbly and chirpy.

[in English]
Always open to new experiences.

[in Hindi] We share good chemistry.
When I talk to him,

we keep blushing
while talking to each other.

[in English] Almighty Father,

-bless us as we step into the light.
-[in Hindi] Come on, man.

[mysterious music]

[indistinct chattering]

Will we just keep standing here?

[Chiragg] Let's enjoy the silences.

Let's sit here.

We've made your girls comfortable.
So now what do you want to do?

They are not our girls.

-We just know them. We've been talking.
-[Shimona] Yeah.

How did you guys, uh, like,
know each other? How did you guys…

We were asked… We were asked to text.

You were asked to text?

-[Sifat] So, you didn't want to?
-[Chiragg] No, I wasn't asked. So…

-We started to…
-Or you were forced to text, is it?

-We were not forced.
-[chuckling]

You want to go and talk about it?

How long have you guys been talking?

-[Rohan] I'll be back.
-[overlapping chatter]

-[Shimona] Excuse us, guys.
-Yes.

[upbeat music]

Should we like, check the room?
Where do we go?

[Pratham] Yeah. It is good.

-Let's see.
-You take this one, I'll take this.

-Yes, let's check…
-Let's get to work.

[in English] Can we just see?

They must be the…

[Sahib] I don't think…
Who will come when we are here?

[upbeat music]

Very good to see you guys.

You guys have met our girls nicely.
It's nice.

-Just come.
-[Pratham] Of course, man.

[in Hindi] Pratham is a guy
who lives his life on his own terms.

[upbeat music]

He does look good.

All over, he was just what I wanted.

[in English] And I'm a people's person.

[in Hindi] Once I enter someone's life,

it is difficult for me to leave.
[laughs]

She found me hot and cute,
the combination of two.

Okay, I would take it as a compliment.
[laughs]

[laughs]

Wow! You guys have been here
since I think before us?

[Dhruv] Yeah, a few days. Been a few days.

-Man, lucky for you, man.
-That's not fair.

[laughter]

Hi, I'm Shivam Arora.

I'm from Delhi. I am 24 years old.

[in Hindi] The most important thing for me
is if I am talking to someone,

the response to the humor
should be in a flow

and the person should understand my humor.

[lively music]

I've had only one perspective
related to relationships…

[in English] …and that is to have hope.

[in Hindi] And I'm here
with that same hope.

[in English] Wow! I love the energy
in the air. I love it.

[Shivam] We just entered, that's why.

No.
[laughs]

It was really very awkward at that moment.

[Shivam] See, you just came here?

-You just came here for us?
-No, no.

So, these guys live in a different place.

They just came to surprise us.

-Yeah.
-And then you guys came

and ruined the surprise.
[laughs]

[in Hindi] Of course, those two guys
have no idea what's going on.

[Sakshi in English] They're looking
for some kind of explanation.

[in Hindi] He's right in front of me
and even they don't know about them.

[Sakshi] I could not understand anything.

I felt like
I have really messed up somehow.

[upbeat music]

I got to know that Dhruv is Ananya's…

[in English] …you know,
offline connection…

[in Hindi]
…and Sahib is Sakshi's offline connection.

Well, we are here to break them up.

[romantic music]

[Sahib]
I don't know what Pratham was doing.

He was teaching her how to play pool.

[in English] It was too much like…

Touchy behavior.

[music stops]

How long have you guys been speaking?
Like…

We spoke four weeks back
for the first time, I guess.

-And for how long, like…
-[chuckles]

-Just asking. I'm just curious.
-I wasn't timing it.

-[Jagriti] I'm just curious, yeah.
-[Sifat in Hindi] I was really confused.

I could not understand what to say,
or what to ask.

And explain why we're here.

[Sifat] I did not even know whether
she also lives here.

[in English] Okay. I was just wondering
where these guys went.

[Sifat] But okay.

To chat. Yeah.

[Rohan] This is a very awkward situation
for me right now.

-Why?
-I can't tell you.

Because there is this other girl
who likes talking to me.

-Okay.
-And…

-She's inside. And…
-[Shimona] Oh!

[chuckles]
Yeah.

So what's going to happen then?

[Rohan] I don't know.

[suspenseful music]

IRL is about online connections

versus, you know, real-life connections.

[in Hindi]
So far, everything was separate.

We had a different world offline…

[in English] …and online was
completely, like, a different world.

[in Hindi] And all of them will be living
together in the same house.

And now out of these two,

we have to choose
our strongest connection.

[in English] I mean, this is what
the whole experiment was about.

Online and real life.

It's two worlds that are just
going to collide right now

and I want to see that big bang.

[in Hindi] A jinx named Sifat
is cursing my love story.

-[laughs]
-[Sahib] And hook up with…

-[Dhruv] With who?
-Um, Vidushi.

[in Hindi] Or will the jinx named Vidushi
curse your love story with Sifat?

So I would just hook up with Chiragg.
I'd marry this guy only.

-[in English] Games night!
-[all] Yeah!

[playful music]

[in Hindi] No erect…

-[laughter]
-[in English] Awesome!

TV? Connection?

-[laughter]
-[Dhruv] Net…

[closing theme music]
