Last year, he refused admission

to the home secretary's daughter.

Really?!

In that case,

i have to meet this principal.

Aniruddha prasad is the secretary

of the s.t.m. Trust.

Let's have a word with him.

Yes, please do.

We've got more than

Hello...

the first cut off list is 94%.

Your daughter has scored 76%.

It's impossible, navneetji.

You've made millions

as a secretary in the government.

Time to put it to use.

You can buy a seat

in any college for your daughter!

Aniruddha has come with

the minister for education.

Baburam chaudhary,

the minister for education.

Namaskar.

It's great to see that you go

for a run in the morning, sir.

No wonder that even the college

is in such terrific shape.

What has your nephew scored?

His score is low.

But, in any case, no one in our family

ever managed to score above 40%.

But all thanks to k.k. Coaching...

they made him slog

at memorising everything...

and he scored 52.07%.

I'm sorry but i can't help you.

Don't say that, sir.

Please don't say that.

He is my sister's only son.

He doesn't want anything except s.t.m.

If you'll kindly excuse me...

i have some things

to take care of.

Aniruddha, please look after him.

Sir, just listen to me.

Oh! So this is where you run

your private coaching.

But why are you taking

classes in your backyard?

I have lots of space

in my commercial complex.

You can hold your classes there.

Your name will attract the students.

You can mint money.

Mr. Minister, our college

pays good salaries.

Moreover, we are not allowed

to give private tuitions outside.

You mean all this is for free?

Please come...

have i upset him?

Don't worry, sir.

I'll speak with him.

You advise people to

pay for admission outside.

Why not have that system

in your college?

Mr. Minister, you?

You should've sent for me.

Damodar seth...

you are a senior trustee at s.t.m.

For years, i have got you

contracts worth millions...

from the education department.

And yet, you can't get

my nephew admitted?

That's precisely the problem.

The principal controls

the admissions completely.

So that's a 'no'?

If the boy's grade is low,

take money for the admission.

Why are you ruining his career?

Moreover, the college is losing millions.

What sort of education is this?

Don't worry.

How can i not?

My nephew's career is at stake.

I'll have the chief minister call

the founder member shakuntala thakralji.

The chief minister began

his political career through her party.

Your principal

won't be able to refuse her.

Sir, shakuntala quit everything worldly

to live in an ashram in hrishikesh.

There's no way to contact her.

Listen, don't worry.

I'll take care of your nephew's admission.
