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

Is someone making you laugh?

Who is he?

So you've found someone?

Who is he, Tamanna?

You never let me see your face.

At least show me his

Hi, Yash.

I'm shaukat

Welcome to shaukat's world.

Everything here is decided by shaukat.

You'll only be going through the motions

Everything's for real.

Because real is what they want

so you really exist.

In shaukat's story

Not just in Antara's life, you will

also be part of my story henceforth

How do you find Tamanna?

Coffee.

- Thank you.

Looks like I'll have to pay

your mother a visit soon

I've been eating the food she cooks

and haven't even thanked her

It's not fair.

When can I drop in to say thanks?

By the way, don't you cook?

My mother doesn't cook either.

It's Rajni, my maid. She cooks for us

Where's your mother...?

Mother! Where are you?

My mother's very far away

I'm glad she's far away!

She's always asking me to get married.

- So get married

Good God!

- What happened?

My landlady's daughter!

The landlady has a crush on me!

Mother sent this. She said it's not

nice for you to ask someone for food

sorry, I'll ask her for the food today.

Maybe tomorrow. Okay?

Good afternoon.

- Good afternoon.

And tell your mother not to worry

about me. I've grown up now

Bye.

- Bye.

What's wrong with her?

- I like someone else

Her hair...

short, this much. She has very

mischievous eyes...

they're always conveying something.

She's still very child-like...

and it shows every now and then

I feel like just looking at her...

just looking at her...

What else?

- What else? She just can't laugh!

When she laughs, it sounds as if

she's splashing a pail of water!

Can you think of a girl like that?

Yash, today is your lucky day.

Want me to tell you a joke?

- Joke...? Ofcourse.

There was this sardar...

- There was this sardar...

Okay, Lalaji...

If the very idea of a joke

can make you laugh so much...

which idiot wants to listen to a joke?

It's your laughter I'm interested in

You're falling in love.

You are, Yash...

you must! The story has

to move further, you see?

Guess how Lalaji ties

his laces, Antara?

Check this out.

Very funny.

Can't you do without laughing loudly?

I'm checking the papers!

Sorry, hope we didn't disturb you?

- Yes, you did.

I didn't expect this from you, Antara

They can hear you laughing

out there in the corridor!

Oh my God.

Sorry sir.

- It's okay.

Antara, she is right.

Antara, what did you eat

for breakfast...

that you can be heard laughing

at the end of the corridor?

It's your joke that's special, Yash.

We never heard her laughing like that

Am I right, Mr Bose?

Oh my God, Miss. Kapadia.

You are only too fair.

You give all the credit only to
