01x02 - Episode 2

[bunniefuu]

Another gorgeous morning in gorgeous Goa.
Day two of Social Currency has begun.

On a quiet note, but trust me…

This is just the silence before the storm.

Today these sleepyheads need to prove
their real world influencer status.

For now, my clueless creators
are on vacay mode.

Some are learning to make #MeTime pancakes

while some others are discussing the most
important thing in a gym boy's life…

-Eggs!
-What are you having for breakfast?

-Eggs. Boiled eggs.
-It costs 80 rupees for 8 eggs.

-Will you eat all eight of them?
-Exactly. I'll order for you, too.

-Okay.
-We need to order separately, right?

When I asked you yesterday…

For me, food is my priority.

But over here, I have to think twice
before ordering anything.

I have to think what the budget is
and order accordingly.

Oh, my God! That brings me back
to those struggling days

when I started off as an actor

and I had to pay my own bills
and I had to stand on my own two feet.

See what I mean?
Like, I have really less volume.

-I saw that already.
-It's raw. Put it on your hair also.

I had a feeling that
everyone here has bad hair.

What are you even saying!

-Dumbass!
-Let me put more.

"Good morning, guys! Some of you had
a really comfortable night

while some others,
a super adventurous one.

But after every night, there's a dawn

and the checkout time for the room."

-Read it louder. I can't hear.
-You have 10 minutes to pack your bags…

"You have 10 minutes to pack your bags
and check out of your rooms."

"After that, you may be locked out."

I was gathering whatever I could find.

I swiped off jars of almonds
and pistachios

and jars of jam and anything
that I could lay my hands on.

Doing this did not feel bad.
I didn't feel like a thief.

So I'm actually feeling
a little out of place because

I like my space too much
and there are too many people here.

But as I always say,
I'm here for a good time

not a long time, thank God.

Everyone was discussing and I felt

I should make a show on the show
and call it Talk Show.

So my first important question to you is…

Are you single?
The public wants to know, especially me.

I've never felt so awkward and embarrassed
and every single time I'm in front of her

I tell myself,
"I have to tune myself, Parth."

"Get embarrassed, Parth.
Be awkward, be awkward, be awkward…"

-Well, here it goes. I'm single.
-Oh.

My way is clear.

The coast is clear, guys.
I'll be giving my best shot

to woo you in 19 days.

All the best. Even I'll try
not to get wooed in those 19 days.

That's so bad!

I'm happy.
Now I can flirt with him full on!

I've got nothing to lose anyway.

If Parth's mom is watching this…

I'm a little short, but we can adjust.
I'll wear high heels.

But she's really good at heart,
very entertaining

and puts on great make-up.

I'll die from blushing today!

So my thing is I don't want to be eighth.

I'm not gonna leave here being eighth.
That's my only thing. Okay?

I'm way too good at this to be eighth.

And the nature of the thing is such

that as long as there is
an Instagram element, I will be eighth.

So the only way I get out of that

-is to do collabs on the challenges.
-Yeah.

I feel I'll get screwed at anything
that involves Instagram.

Because I don't get
what reels or trends are.

And I don't think when it boils down to it
anyone would help me.

-I think we got a message…
-Thank you for that.

-Hey, guys!
-What's Goa without clubbing?

-No!
-Oh!

"So get your party clothes.
Don't worry, I've arranged your rides."

I knew this Admin is really cunning.

He will take us clubbing
but will also make us spend for it.

Okay, done.

Rolling and action, ladies!

-I'll wear…
-Well, this T-shirt fits you well.

This shirt, no? Yeah.

I don't like clubbing. I have anxiety.

A club is dark, loud place full of people.

It's not a good place
for somebody with anxiety.

And honestly,
that was the point I started to panic.

I'm avoiding going to the clubs
because of the anxiety. Okay?

-We got you.
-So if it's a very loud place

and I end up feeling overwhelmed

-I'll come and, like, tell you that.
-No, I'm there.

-Just walk off with me for two minutes…
-Yes, yes.

-Yes, done. Done.
-Yeah. Otherwise, like…

-We got you.
-I have no delusions

that I can handle everything all alone.

Especially when it comes to this stuff
it's okay to acknowledge

that you need help.

And I don't shy away from asking for help
in this regard.

"Hello, guys! Ready to party?"

"By the way I forgot
to tell you something."

"Tonight, in Goa they have
two happening club nights."

"So what do we do now?
Let's split into two groups."

"Who belongs to which group…

-Girls with girls, boys with boys!
-…your DM can decide that."

-I wanna party together!
-Yeah!

No, no! Admin sent me something
about a party popper privilege…

Who got this emoji with a beer and cheers?

I'll be chilling with Sakshi and Rowhi
for the first time.

I am excited. I just want to go clubbing.

I don't want to point fingers
but Parth was in my group.

Rowhi is not with me
and I share the closest bond with her.

I realized that I and Sakshi
are in different groups.

And that broke my heart into
two separate pieces.

Whenever we set out in a car

and see all these shops lined up
it feels so good.

The outside world, the people…

-Oh, sh*t!
-Oh, f*ck!

It's good to see a crowd for us.

I don't know.
I think we all stand together.

Okay, a semicircle.

Hi, influencers! It's time for
your first offline challenge.

Tonight is gonna be lit and I hope
you love tonight's entertainment

because you, yourself,
are tonight's entertainment.

We already know
your online engagement skills.

But can you rock
the engagement level offline?

Face to face, in person?

Tonight you need to hold the audience
with your live performances

keeping them both engaged and entertained.

We wish to see the collective offline
influencing power of your group.

You have two clubs in front of you.
Mambo's and Tito's

and each group has to pick one club.

In every club we've got
just 58 real people

waiting for real entertainment.

You must #HoldTheCrowd
with your influence for

not more, but 60 minutes.

But guys, don't worry,
you can literally do anything.

The real world is yours for the taking.

After 60 minutes

the group whose club has more people
wins this challenge.

So let's see which team has a stronger
offline influence game.

This is our first offline challenge
where we'll find out

how is our influence actually
in the real world.

Now I and Parth won't be accused of
getting likes from our fans outside.

Being a typical, feisty Delhi guy
I could always hold the crowd.

But would my charm work on
the people of Goa?

It's not as easy as it sounds.

I could feel a panic attack coming up.

It was as if all my anxiety triggers
had gathered at one place.

And right during the first big
offline challenge.

Okay, the instructions just came in.

It's a lot of things at once.
Basically you're hypersensitive.

You're hearing everything.
You're seeing every movement.

Every light is brighter
but every visual is blurrier.

Your heartbeats go faster and faster
and it's crazy because

it hasn't happened to me in years.

I noticed that Aakash was beginning
to stammer, he could barely speak

and his blood pressure was spiking,
he was sweating.

-Guys! Bye, see you! All the best!
-Bye! All the best!

-Yo, yo! We're going to Tito's!
-All the best!

I noticed that Aakash seemed
really distressed.

I didn't know what to do.

How would we complete the challenge
without him?

Would he keep going, or not?

Thankfully, the crew was good enough.
They set the cameras aside for a while

and allowed me to breathe.
I went to the washroom, freshened up.

And then I got back to work.

We got 20 minutes to plan our strategy.

To prepare our strategy, how we would play

what we would perform
and what our whole plan was.

I go, introduce. You come first.
You do your piece for 10, 15 minutes.

When you sense they're getting bored,
Vagmita, stop the performance.

You and Sakshi are the showstoppers.

They should want to see you.
So your entry cannot be a plain one.

Basically we have to make them shout like…

-"Cheer up from Mridul Madhok!"
-Yeah!

"Yeah! Yeah!" When the crowd cheers
even the folks in Tito's

will want to come and check it out.

If we show all our cards
in the first 30 minutes…

-Yeah.
-…the public will get bored by the end.

There will be a time when all four of us
will have to improvise and perform as one.

-We'll do it.
-Guys, let's f*cking do this!

-Let's f*cking go!
-Come on, guys! Let's do this!

-Let's pump this sh*t up!
-Let's do this.

-Hi, guys! Hello!
-Hi!

So are you ready for the best night
of your lives?

-Yeah!
-Yeah!

We've got four amazing influencers
to entertain you all

only for you all!

-Does anyone know who I am here?
-Yes, Aakash.

Like, two guys know who I am.
Okay, I'm, I usually do standup comedy.

And a strobe light is not the best place
to do standup comedy.

Couple? Dating?

Oh! This young love! I used to have that.

Then she f*cking left.

Looking at Aakash's condition
before the challenge

I didn't think he would be able
to give a performance.

But after looking at his performance
I'm proud of him.

So are you having a good time?

Slowly, as time passed
I unleashed some rap.

And it wasn't just random.

I asked the people to play a beat.

Come on, guys!

I got homies who stand by me!

Some stand by me, but envy me!

My bars are heavy, unlike others!

Their rhymes are weightless feathers!

When I spit verses, it is chaos!

Victory is mine and yours, loss!

I down a bottle and just sway!

Catch me if you can, as I fly away!

Give it up for original music!

Come dwell in my heart
And do me a favor, love!

I can't spend a day without you!
Life is unreal without you!

Why won't you feel my love?
Why won't you fight with me?

Are you guys having fun?

I can't hear you!

He isn't the same guy who was
torturing me for the last two days.

Parth was dancing like
there's no tomorrow.

People have loved the intensity
that I have.

Because I'm very least expressive.
I'm an introvert person.

But when it comes to performance
I go all out

and I think when I perform
I truly touch their hearts.

30 minutes gone and the competition is on!

Here, Club Mambo's is grooving to
Parth's dazzling moves.

Whereas, Bhavin's emo original
seems to be touching no one's hearts

and he knows it.
What will Bhavin's team do now?

I'm going to Mambo.

-Yeah.
-Let's go.

I had an idea, to go to Mambo's
and bring the crowd from there.

But in Mambo's I was like, "What!"

They had got the place grooving
and the music was good, too.

People were dancing here
and we were just fiddling on the mic!

Come on. Let's go, folks!

Tito's, Tito's, Tito's.
There's everything you want.

This is not the way, pal.
This is not happening.

Seven! Eight!

-Do you want a real party?
-Yes.

Then come with me.

Come on, hurry up
before someone stops them!

Run! Fast! Or he will come stop you.

-Run!
-Let's slip out.

-Bhavin, run!
-There's no sigma male here! None!

There's no sigma male here like me.

I'm shocked! What does he mean by
"Who wants to leave with the girl?"

I'm not going with anyone to a hotel.

I was just taking people to our club
for the game's sake.

It's a very uncomfortable situation
for me.

This moment is one of the worst moments
of my life I'd say

because it seems really derogatory
to me right now.

This is my style of playing.
I will take your people away.

Whoever comes with me gets this jacket.
It's my favorite jacket.

-Don't lie to me.
-No, I swear!

-Don't you dare.
-It's true.

Guys! The winner gets to dance here
with me.

-Not just that, I will dance on the floor.
-There are even hotter girls back there.

Sakshi Chopraa? You know her?

She's straight from Los Angeles.
Sakshi Chopraa.

I made Sakshi look like a major celebrity

as if she were a movie star.

Come with me, tough guys!

Nobody's gonna leave this f*cking place.

-No way.
-No, please, pal! Girls, come with me!

Hey!

My fan following has grown one by one.

I've literally built an ocean
drop by drop.

Then why not today?

-Come on! Let's go there.
-Move it! Move it! Let's do this!

Let's do this! m*therf*cking gravitate!

Bhavin, you're not supposed to do this.

Guys, they're playing too aggressive.

Bhavin literally walked over my foot.

If there's a comparison between us
how many of you feel

that he has a better body?

They have better body,
we have better heart!

What do I say about this guy?
He has to get overdramatic.

"We have better heart!"
Unless he talks such sh*t

he cannot call it a day.

Here!

Now let's go there. Come on! Move!

First Bhavin entered wearing a jacket.

Then he was without a jacket,
and then, without shoes.

-I want to win, guys. Please!
-Fine, but will you take it back from us?

-No, it's mine.
-Sure?

People were so crazy there,
had I even given them my undies

they'd take that away.

I felt that it was little unfair.

Last few moments and it's endgame mode on.

Everything is at stake.
Now the rule is there are no rules.

Oh, my God!

Come on!

-Come, baby!
-Literally now is the time.

We're gonna rip our shirts off
and we're gonna dance

and k*ll the night!

Come, come, come.

-Please, bro!
-No! Excuse me! What is this?

Competition is over! They're still here!

They're still here! Competition is over!

Thank you, guys!
Thank you, thank you, so much!

I tried my best

Now I can't do it with boys pushing me
and stepping on me so rudely!

I'm a lady. Don't do that to me, dude.

-Seriously.
-We f*cking k*lled.

I thought it was a crazy night.
Nothing like I could've expected.

I was so out of my element,
but I was so comfortable on stage.

First offline challenge done.

The live audience looks quite excited

but what rocked your boat?
Parth's biceps, or Ruhi's drama?

Or Bhavin selling everything,
except his soul?

I hope you had great fun
watching their efforts.

-Yes!
-Yes!

Our winners are…

The whole adrenaline part of
what we had performed

went on a backfoot

and now, again, we start thinking
what might happen.

Sakshi, Aakash

Bhavin, Rowhi…

What a f*ck' relief!

-Three cheers for Team Hearts! Hip-hip…
-Hurray!

-Hip-hip…
-Hurray!

Hip-hip…

Yeah! Our team won finally!
All our efforts paid off!

-Yeah!
-Thank you, so much, man!

I actually felt this competition
is about talent.

But in this case

it was kind of like,
drawing a flock of sheep.

Apart from physical aggression
the challenge was very interesting.

But physical aggression
was something that I…

And the kind of comments
that were passed were really wrong!

Oh my God! I'm so happy! My first income!

-Yeah!
-And we won 15,000! Yes!

-Dang!
-Yay!

15!

Bhavin, what is your balance now?
I'm guessing in hundred thousand.

-It's 15 only.
-I was so upset because

they got 15,000 and I got just 5,000.

So they would enjoy all luxury stuff
and I'll buy only basic level stuff.

So next time,
I would have to step up my game.

When I got back to the house after
the #HoldTheCrowd thing, I felt

I still had a lot to vent out.

I mean, I'm okay with talking about
my depression and my heartbreak.

All the bad things that happened to me.

Because I feel like that's the one way
I can make people feel less alone.

So this thing happened today.

Before I had to do this thing,
I got a panic attack.

And…

It's funny, like,
'cause you spend a lot of time

to try and figure out

stuff that's wrong with you
and then, you work on it.

And you fix it, and you…

rebuild yourself in a way
where you feel like…

"Okay, how I got this?"

And then suddenly, out of nowhere

like you realize, you don't have this.

Things can feel
infinitely lonely sometimes.

Don't worry.

I'm not alone.

And I know this because on a deep level
I'm also hoping that I'm not alone.

And if it's me and you
then that's at least two.

I see you.

Don't forget that.

Thanks.

Then suddenly, out of nowhere…

-Now explain it to me.
-What?

Why do you think it was unfair?

Performance-wise we were better.

-That was the Bhavin effect.
-Yeah.

-That was the giving the jacket…
-Yeah.

-Giving the shoes, giving the watch…
-Absolutely.

That is something very not fair.

-You don't think so?
-No.

He's immature.

He's young, he's learning.

And he knows his forte
and he's playing along with it.

He is a different person when it comes
to being in the game.

He wants to win it.
He wants to be a different…

He turns out to be different.
His entire behavior changes.

If something is wrong with me,
if some sort of negativity affects me

straightaway ten people will ask me
that day itself

"Parth, something's wrong with you"
because it's not like I want to tell them.

But it's like, I've been affected and now…

It's just, I'm disturbed.

Good night! Just wanna say good night.

So this thing happened today
and it's not happened in a long time.

I had a panic attack,
and then suddenly, out of nowhere

like, you realize you don't have this.

It was too real.

I had that moment right before
coming here.

I had a session with my therapist

and she was like, just tell them that…

I need to be on standby in case whatever…

Because of certain instances
in my life before

where I have put myself out there, I have…

You know, been vulnerable,
and that is why I just feel that

only and only the people
who get through this tough exterior…

They're the ones who stay.

Relax, relax. Okay.

Everyone here may be an influencer,
but no one is unfiltered yet.

Because everyone is trying to express
their feelings secretly.

No one is speaking up.

But they can't keep mum forever.

Bro, all I want to say is
even if we make good content

what about the following that we lose
while being here?

After coming here I feel as if
we never had any following.

They're the ones with a proper following.

Bhavin and Parth have a following
that's greater than everyone else's.

So I feel they have a big advantage
getting into the competition

and it makes it very difficult
for all of us to match up.

They must've got digital marketing guys
who sell fake followers and likes

and told them to bump up the numbers
once their new handles were out.

-Now explain me this…
-That's a point.

-Show me.
-Bhavin, two hours before…

1,500 comments, 2,000 likes?

Trust me, it's an impossible ratio.

-What about us?
-It's fake, bro.

-What do we do?
-Oh, my God!

I told you, I was baffled to see it.
Such a ratio cannot exist.

I don't know any of this.

I knew it right since day one.

Don't think about numbers.
You'll get depressed.

That's why I stay relaxed.

I don't care if I lose or win.

It's clear to me that I'm helpless.

A real analysis, or a conspiracy theory?

Or just a case of grapes are sour?

Of course, if some have a huge online
following, while some others, not much

but this trio is forgetting
the ground rule of Social Currency.

Mere online following
won't affect this show.

We're all about the influencer's

real influencing power
which includes the real world.

I think that after last night
my perception about many of you changed.

What I didn't like was
I always had an image of Bhavin

as a very fair player. I mean…

It's okay, pal. It's your victory.

But like, you didn't let me perform

so I thought my perception changed
about you being a fair player.

I apologize before all for this.

-Because…
-At least now let him finish.

-At least now let him finish.
-Look, I said whatever I felt but

you were very competitive
and I think it's good.

And I find two people here competitive.
Ruhi and Bhavin…

The most real person in this house is
Mridul Madhok.

He always has an honest approach.
He speaks from the heart.

He speaks normally, but now…

But as for Bhavin,
he's competitive, but you know

I always liked his genuineness,
but I feel that after coming here

that has changed a bit, and especially
after the HoldTheCrowd challenge

I'm really thinking, "Are you for real?"

I just want to mention one point
which I did not like.

That was aggression level.

I did not appreciate
the "sigma male" comment

with the boys when I'm standing there.

-Bhavin, this isn't…
-There's no sigma male here! None!

There's no sigma male here like me.

It's not a nice thing to say
in front of a lady.

-What does that mean?
-"Sigma male" means shrewd. That's it.

Sigma male means a hard nut to crack.

-It means a tough guy, who won't soften…
-It's okay.

-…upon seeing girls.
-When you guys were pushing past me

some even stepped on my feet.

-So the aggression level was a bit high.
-Fully, dude! People were stepping on me.

-Look at this bruise, this bruise…
-We could tone that down a little bit.

-I feel not just that…
-But what if…

-But what if that's my style of playing?
-That's okay. I appreciate that.

-I'm saying…
-You could've told us right then.

-I said it.
-Then I must've stopped.

-I didn't? No way.
-Bhavin, but I'm not--

I'm not aggressive. It's my energy.

My energy level is always up here.
It will only grow. It cannot come down.

Yesterday I felt really bad
something I overheard on the stage.

It was a classist comment, I don't know.

Someone said
"We can't do such D-class antics."

-Who said it?
-Ruhi said it.

No, I never said anything like that,
because I had the mic on throughout.

-Okay, I don't know.
-I…

I overheard, I would've misheard.

No, but definitely it couldn't have been
related to you.

Maybe about some men who misbehaved.

Thanks for clarifying it.
It was bothering me.

And circumstances were such that
I got such cold vibes from you.

Bhavin, did you do anything that you felt
someone would say that about you?

I was wondering why you were mad.

No, it's not about being angry.
When one loses, he feels bummed out.

We are entitled to feeling upset also.

And dude, it's a very uncomfortable space
to be in as a woman.

When there are men all over you,
all around you

and you have to hold your ground
and keep performing

And you can't break character.
You have to keep at it.

People are laughing at you,
pointing fingers at you.

-People are suggestive remarking you.
-Yes.

You have to keep your grace throughout.
That is what we are talking about.

-And you just keep them there.
-Exactly.

And as men,
the least you all can do is to…

To keep the vibe, this.

So that other people don't get a chance to
point fingers at us and call us creepy.

When Ruhi and Bhavin's scene was sorted

I felt maybe I should try and encourage
them to have a conversation separately.

Don't try to silence me.
I felt aggression. Why can't I say it?

-I completely agree.
-I won't shut up.

-I completely agree.
-I hadn't given in before.

I haven't given in now.

And as a woman…

If I feel that you showed aggression…

-Not you, but anyone for that matter.
-Anyone.

Because being an actress

I've been in situations
where I've been uncomfortable

and I've not spoken about it.

Just because I said it
I was blamed in return

for passing a classist comment…

Okay. Quick hug and we go back to work.

-Quick hug.
-It's okay.

So whatever you say,
you have a lot of responsibility.

Do not speak with half knowledge.

Because that can offend people
and you can get completely destroyed.

The way you told me made me feel

that you heard me pass
a classist comment about you.

-That's why I asked if it was about me.
-No, Bhavin.

You said you overheard
and assumed I said something

is not rock solid, buddy.

-That's why I asked you.
-Because…

No, I don't know what
you overheard, Bhavin.

If you had heard me say
"Bhavin and I are classes apart

and I am superior."

If you had heard this
it would've been a classist comment.

I would like to suggest to you that
don't ever assume.

Because what happens is, Bhavin,
today you pass a comment like that.

Tomorrow it reflects very badly on me.
Try to understand.

You were there when she said
the D-Class antics thingy.

It's okay.

We're low class folks. Yes, ma'am.

Don't f*cking say that.

-You know what you heard.
-Yeah.

If you feel the need to talk it out
with her, you talk it out with her.

No, I don't want to make it an issue,
making an issue about it

-is the last thing I wanna do.
-Okay.

-I would just play my game.
-Yeah.

-Just end this topic here.
-I already have honestly.

-Yes.
-I was a little hurt because

it's very easy to put
this allegation against me.

People's biggest assumptions about me is
"Oh! She's all hoity-toity!"

"She must think too high of herself."
That's exactly the assumption

that I'm trying to break.

-Don't cry.
-I'm crying again.

What do I do? Start dressing up simple?

-Let go of it already.
-I know.

Forget it.

Where's that lovey-dovey
BFFs forever vibe?

Gone after the first offline challenge?
But you know what?

Maybe that's a good thing.

Because behind the "Living my best life"
filters of social media can't hide anyone.

Whatever it is,
has to be said in the open now.

In that matter,
the hashtag of these poor souls is

#TheStruggleIsReal,
especially for some of them.

Sakshi, I haven't seen your
no makeup face.

-I haven't seen your no makeup face.
-You never will.

-Same.
-As in like, I wish for.

-Same!
-Some wishes don't come true.

-But like, why is that so?
-Great opportunity to wish for.

Sakshi, I'm, like, inspired by it.
Even I want to wear makeup at all times.

-Then do it.
-But makeup irritates me.

Do you not take it off even at bed time?

-I remove lashes and this…
-Do you use different makeup?

But she has even got Botox and all that
artificial stuff on her face.

Yes, she got a lot of work done
for her dark circles.

She has also used a lot of other things.

Yes, she did mention. Yeah, I noticed it.

-Oh! Even you realized?
-Yes, that's quite visible! Boom! Boom!

I think there's "Boom! Boom!"
even at the rear.

-Even I felt so, but she has that…
-Natural?

What is it called? Stretch marks!
So there's no "Boom! Boom!".

Speaking of Sakshi's personality

it doesn't look fake, but it does seem
a bit plastic of sorts

and snobbish, high maintenance girls.

-Okay, tell me something.
-Yes.

I noticed another thing about Sakshi.

-Tell me.
-Even you must've noticed.

-Noticed what? Maybe I haven't.
-It's quite clearly evident.

That's really not much…

Oh! I got it. I got it.
I noticed it yesterday itself.

Then shouldn't she be hiding it?

She's from LA.
People wear such things there.

Something's come in.

Hey, guys! The ground rule for becoming
a successful influencer is consistency.

Keep creating, keep posting. Right?

So why have you put your
content creating skills on snooze?

Get up and get going!

Create something fun and post it
from your handle.

I can't wait to see
what you guys come up with.

And you can even go outside
to sh**t this content.

But in pairs.

My God! It'll be so fun
to go out to the beach!

-Yup. Change yourself.
-Yeah, let's do that.

-So who all want to go?
-One car seats two.

We can ask Aakash.
You take Sakshi, I'll take Aakash.

-Does Aakash want to go?
-I'll ask him.

I'm ready to go with Aakash.

Neither of you has money.
How will you go for free?

-No…
-You have to come with us.

Yes, I mean, we need sponsors.

We got 5,000 for HoldTheCrowd.
5,000 is barely enough.

Because I need high protein food,
book my room and everything.

There's no savings at all.

My E-wallet on Social Currency
right now shows a big zero.

Are you going or not?

I'm coming. Let's book it.
How will you go?

I'm not going. I'll sh**t here.

Oh, come on. Seriously!

Yes, I'll show locations that haven't
appeared in my videos yet.

So I agreed, because since he had no money

he was mentally planning on saving money.

I'd never go with this dickhead.
Or I can never sh**t anything.

-You have to go with at least one person.
-One person. See, you have to go.

-You can ask Rowhi.
-Rowhi is going with Ruhi.

-They are not going.
-Rowhi, aren't you going?

No.

I felt bad because I couldn't go out
because the condition was

you need a partner.

Should I sh**t it?

No, pal. She will manage.

-What about you?
-Yes. Figure out what your scene is.

I need someone to sh**t.

-Then you both sh**t together.
-Okay.

Oh, man! If I let Parth sh**t for me
it'll be the same story.

How do I tell her that I'm trapped here!

What I'm kind of aiming for is

I'll be swinging here. Okay?

So let's get closer.
Even this distance is fine.

But I want a top angle.

Action!

Bhavin is like a masterclass of a person
when it comes to content.

Like, he figures out how to sh**t
literally within seconds.

That agony aunt who is mad at
the entire world…

Guess what…

Yo! Wait, wait. My phone is
in the f*cking sand! Is my mic audible?

Yes! You can hear me still.

You wanna start from behind
so my bum looks good.

I think this angle is off because
the light is falling from this side.

No, this is fine.

She's Ruhi Singh
and she can do everything.

Is your boyfriend asking you
to lose weight?

Yes! Lose those 80 pounds

by dumping that piece of sh*t
and own your beautiful bod

you fabulous b*tch!

Oh, the tides are high, let's go.

What a shot! Wow!

Better become a DOP after an actor.

Speaking of my journey
I drive a jaguar now

and have millions of followers,
with a verified account

with my own clothing line,
my own cosmetic line but…

this entire journey

was no less than a roller-coaster.

But when and how did I get success?
That's what you want to know.

Exactly! What is X-factor?

Togetherness. We connect with
our audience so closely

that they feel like their elder brother
is telling them things.

I feel that all Indian moms

go to the same school because
they all have the same dialogues like

"Did I raise you up for this day?
You'll know the day I die!"

"You'll know when you have kids
of your own!

"Useless!"

I know, right? That's relatable.
So that's why you love me.

Whenever you click on any clip

-the other will come up.
-When his hands got to work

I was confused wondering where I am.

These people know how editing is done,
how a shot is composed.

Shot taking music, background…

He edited everything within 10 minutes
and got it ready.

I have experienced how difficult life is.

Always, at every phase.

My life hasn't been easy.

But I've always maintained
one thing constant.

The smile on my face.

Have faith, my friend,
these hard times shall pass.

And those who mock you now

will be speechless one day.

What's the message?

Wassup, guys!
This is you, this is your villa

but we are not having a party here.

Tonight's party will be somewhere else
and I've sent my cars to pick you up.

So drive around the town a bit,
blow some money.

Get set for a fun night ahead!

Yes! Yes! Yes! I wanna go out now!
I'm a beach baby!

Let's go! The cars are here!
Let's go please!

-You watch it!
-You watch it!

You watch it!

We walk inside and we saw
a sort of, like, a restaurant

come flea market, come…

Just like it's like a really nice
Boho, hippie vibe going on there.

I really like it.

But I knew that we cannot afford
more than half the things here.

Just pass the food menu, sir.
Thank you, sir!

I'll just look at the food and be happy.

I sleep outdoors, because I have no money.

And he's saying, "Bro, let's go to a cafe.
Let's have dinner."

"The transport is on me."
Then pay for the food, too, Admin.

Deduct it from the 5 million. Please!

So this is the Dosa, right?
It's for 60 bucks.

-And with that Sambar will also come.
-No, Sambar you'll have to order separate.

-How much is that?
-It's in the menu.

Where?

This is not my life.

I've never been in a situation
where I had to think so much

before ordering things, or buying things.

This is a completely new experience for me

to just think so much
before placing an order and

I finally understand, you know?
So many people when they say "Oh, budget".

I'm really learning to do that.

I'm getting frustrated.

Wow! I've never been this shackled.

Dude, like, f*cking take my earring
and give me some food.

-I can sell this.
-Okay, then, ask.

If I give you one earring,
we'll get to eat whatever we want?

For the first time, I'm at a restaurant
where I can't afford anything.

The 5,000 we had got fully spent
on food, room and the car ride.

It again reminds me that many such points
will occur throughout this journey

where I will realize that
things are not in my control.

Our dilemma is

we have no money
but we can exchange services.

I have this lovely earring

which is silver and gold plated.

Can I get some money or food
in exchange for it?

No problem.

What can you offer me for this?

-How much do you need?
-1,500.

-Done? Let's shake hands.
-1,500? Okay.

-You are a savior.
-This earring is yours.

f*ck! I should've asked for 5,000.
sh*t! That is so dumb.

Always start at the top.

I'm thinking, everyone's having fun.

Do you want to buy the cheapest 1-1 drink
for everyone?

So that's 300, 300…

-I think it's worth it.
-Okay.

It's gonna be fun. Let's do it.

I am over the moon that she was able
to sell her earrings

and get a bunch of cash
and she has the biggest heart.

She decided to treat everybody
with a drink.

-I pawned my earrings.
-How much did you sell it for?

I'm not telling you, but I sold it.

But the point is
I want to buy you all a drink.

I'll buy them a drink. No, you can't…

-Sell the…
-Come on!

-Chill! Wil you sit down?
-Women of our family don't pawn things.

BHAVIN: WOMEN OF OUR FAMILY
DON'T PAWN THINGS

HERE COMES THE DRAMA QUEEN!

SHOULD I SELL YOU INSTEAD?

THIS GUY IS A WHOLE DIFFERENT BREED.

"Women of our family don't pawn things!"

I was like, "Okay, but will our free drink
be canceled?" I looked at Ruhi.

No! No! It's by choice…

-You don't…
-No, not for us. Not for us.

I'm self-made
and I want to do it for myself.

-No, I'll give you money if you want.
-I don't want your money.

We can't sell jewelry to have a party.

Anyone seeing this wouldn't want a girl
to sell her jewelry.

Finally what happened?
Did you get them back?

-She won't budge.
-Why? They're so pretty!

It's silver.
She wouldn't even have got its worth.

Okay, now that you've sold it
which drink do we order?

-He's so mean.
-No, I wasn't helping.

He was looking out for me
and I appreciate that.

-Done.
-You can pay for my gymlet also.

Come on! What the f*ck, dude!

No! Go, sit there…

I'll do the talking now. Sit there.

I didn't want to get into
what was going on.

Because at some point I felt
they were two adults

and let them settle it mutually.
They'd both got emotional.

I mean, his eyes were teary
without background music.

No, you can't do this.

-I'm not here to cry.
-Are you f*cking crying?

-No.
-Need to know why.

No, no, no.
He's crying because of how hot I am.

-He's looking at my beauty and melt.
-Can't handle the hotness, huh?

-Yeah.
-Yeah. His eyes are burning.

We're all selling parts of
ourselves, okay?

You're selling your jokes, your tragedies,
your anger, your frustration

and you're gonna sell a lot of
f*cking drama in the coming days.

So don't try to play all nice
and poised and composed.

Because we're all f*cking selling
something, you just can't see it yet.

Listen, it's become quite evident now
that pairs have formed on the show.

-No, I want to break it.
-And now that it has happened

the least we can do is

tell people how we feel.

Like, I've never tried to get help
from somebody.

-And it's a difficult task in itself.
-I'm the same person that you are.

Plus I feel like I'm way more comfortable
asking you or Parth or Sakshi.

-Okay.
-And just be like…

I can always ask Sakshi for money.

Do what's in your comfort zone, bro.

Yes, pal. If you want to
make it to the top

you have to make collabs, or do something.

You must apply what you've learnt.

We can't take these 21 days so lightly.

I feel like now that people are seeing

that who they are up against

now everyone's gonna start
taking people down.

Yeah, no, I'm not up for that sh*t,
I'm not here for that sh*t.

-Exactly.
-Everyone has formed pairs more or less.

Everyone knows with whom
they can be more productive.

Clearly we both click as partners.

-That's what I'm trying to say.
-We're making good content.

My content has been great
since last 10 years.

Just that one of us has 4 million,
one of us has 50k.

And the collaboration is supposed to
benefit both the parties.

So I'm just saying think try
and help me on, so, benefit from this.

Then let's make another deal and make sure

no matter what, when it comes to voting
we'll vote for each other first.

-That'll increase our chances.
-Good.

Don't unnecessarily play nice guy
and f*ck me over.

Come on.

-You better not…
-I won't, pal.

Yes, but at the same time we need to…

Properly work as a team.

When seven such influencers have
come here for this experiment

you cannot win without influencing.

You need to change.

Once inside the river,
either learn to swim or just drown.

Does it hurt?

We got a message.

Hello, hello, influencers!

Well, I must say,
the bonding between you all is…

It's like an Indian TV soap
minus the family drama.

A little too good to be true, no?
So how about we shake things up?

Tomorrow a new influencer will
enter the villa tomorrow.

Any guesses who it could be? Guess!

You have all night.
Just remember to make some space.

Have a fun one!

Oh, f*ck! A ninth person! Oh, sh*t!

You're not the wild card.

Cheers!

I have audio-bytes

of conversations
that had happened in the house.

Where's her no makeup face?

Don't play it again.

That is disgusting.
