Synopsis: Author Shaukat Vashisht lives a wealthy life-style in India with his wife, Antara, who is a College Teacher. Shaukat achieves fame when he is nominated for the Booker prize, and goes on to win it. His publishers, hoping that they have unleashed a goldmine, are disappointed with his subsequent works, and soon Shaukat is depressed to such an extent that he almost gives up writing. Then he decides to write a story on a woman named Tamanna, and figures that he will base this story on none other than Antara herself. For this purpose he starts to make note of her every movement, and it is then that he finds out that she has an admirer in fellow-teacher, Yash, a dashing young man - with a bright future ahead of him. Shaukat also finds out that Antara has never mentioned Yash to him, nor has she informed Yash that she is married. Watch how his obsession with Tamanna blurs Shaukat's reality with fiction and hallucination - with hopes still high that he will make a come-back and be nominated aga

- Try?

No matter what I do, I wouldn't be

able to write a single line

And they such nasty things.

- Who're they?

Critics.

I don't know about getting real,

but what you write is really very nice

When they have to write themselves,

they will know...

how difficult it is to

write about real things

Your new book is going

to silence them all

Will it make you happy

if they're silenced?

If you're happy, I'm happy.

- Not my happiness. Talk about yours

What makes you happy?

- Me...?

Yes Antara vashist.

What makes you happy.

Cooking.

Don't laugh, answer me

It makes you happy.

I've never thought about it.

- So think now, Antara. Think!

Does cooking give you happiness?

Or prayer...?

Cooking is like a prayer.

Or like a therapy.

Well, have you ever done something

you shouldn't have done?

Yes, several times...

- I don't mean arguments, fights...

or coming home late and so on

something bigger Antara.

Something that has changed your life?

- Life?

Didn't marriage make you regret that

you couldn't do all those things...

you might otherwise have done?

- Regret? Marrying you?

Don't you miss your folks

and your father's house?

Don't you want to start all over again.

No. I'm just like

any other girl out there, shaukat...

why're you trying to

look for a story in me?

Don't you feel like looking at yourself

other than from my eyes?

If you met someone who said, there's

no one like you. What would you do?

Has someone said that to you?

They're scared, aren't they?

- Who?

Students.

- What does that mean?

If I were your student,

I'd give you a rose everyday

Hasn't anyone given you a rose so far?

- No. I wouldn't accept, even if he did

Why not?

- Because it's wrong

Why?

Because I'm a lecturer

and they're my students

Wasn't I your lecturer too?

That's a different story.

You're elder to me

But what if I were younger?

Then you'd have been

my husband, the professor

Is it wrong to be younger?

No. For me, it's wrong to accept

a rose from anyone other than you

Because I love you very much, shaukat

I love you very much.

Wrong!

Yes... I've found my subject

No, no... it's forbidden

This thing that is forbidden

is going to be my theme

Nobody likes restrictions

And that which is forbidden,

you begin to gradually like

The more you want to give

your relationship a description...

it gets stronger and stronger

Wouldn't you want a relationship like

that one...? Tell me, Tamanna

You'll want a relationship

that sates your hunger

forbidden.

A relationship that someone

else does not accept

The beginning. Two years later

Thanks Tamanna.

"The body is just an excuse"

"It's in soul

that we have to merge"
