Nighat! Nagin!
Where are you all?
Kids...
Where are your mom and aunt?
Mom is cooking
and aunt isn't home.
Not at home!
Where is your sister?
She went early morning to look for a job.
Really?
She went early morning to look for a job!
Rashid, did you hear that?
Your sister-in-law went to look for a job.
Since so long she is doing this drama.
Listen to me. Are you listening?
Now, if she doesn't get a job
you should take care of her. Understood?
My job and her tuition classes are not good enough for her.
Nagin keeps talking about it.
By God's grace, she will definitely get a job.
I'm sure about it.
It's because of your leniency, Nuzat...
In these times of inflation
it's difficult to provide for a household.
You have two kids. Think about them.
You spend my son's hard earned money on your sister's needs.
She just eats two square meals with us.
She doesn't even demand anything.
Are you listening, Son?
Look at the way she is arguing with me.
We aren't responsible for her marriage.
Do you get it?
Your mom is not alive, but your dad is.
He is useless.
He is enjoying with his new wife.
He is so engrossed, he didn't even check on them
to see if his daughters are fine.
He just raised them. That's it.
He didn't give us any money or gifts either.
And now, we are feeding her.
We will have to get her married, too.
Let me tell you something.
I won't marry her off so soon. Am I right, Mom?
She must bear the cost of our kids' education.
May God bless you. But why will she?
Why won't she? Stop your nonsense!
You care for your sister.
What about me? I am working so hard!
Now, don't start crying.
Go and do the laundry.
Where is mother's tea?
Get her a cup of tea!
-Go away, before I slap you! -Hurry up!
-Take this, Mom. -You, have it.
-Come on, I will get sugar. -No...
-Come on... -Okay, give the Paratha too.
Sir, I don't have much knowledge about computers.
But if you teach me, I will learn soon.
You don't need to learn anything.
Actually, I needed a beautiful secretary.
Just like you...
One who can assist me everywhere.
I didn't get you.
I just mean you need not worry.
But you need a little grooming.
And I will help you with that.
What are you doing?
Listen to me...
Why are you getting angry?
I just praised you.
And of course, beauty should be appreciated.
If you accept it, then...
In our community, for a girl, looking for a job
is similar to getting marriage proposals.
Just as in marriage, everyone wants
a beautiful girl with a strong background
even for jobs
they look for stylish and modern girls.
It's okay even if she can't work.
But she should be capable of impressing her clients and boss.
That's why I was stopping you.
You're an Arts graduate.
Girls with an Arts degree need good reference to get a job.
Who will recommend you?
Your tuition classes were good.
Tell me something.
Did Rashid tell you to look for a job?
Of course, not.
He didn't say anything to me.
I realize it, myself.
Anyway, expenses have increased now.
If I get a job, I will be able to support.
Moreover, I don't want the kids
to go to a government school like I did.
They shouldn't struggle to get a job.
My kids' education is not your responsibility.
It's not in my control to get you married.
I just hope you get a suitable match soon.
Amen to that.
Try to get it done faster.
If it were in my control, I would have done it.
But gossip about your deeds travel faster than light.
Before that I have to talk to my wife.
What if your wife refuses?
She may.
We will have to handle her differently.
Why did you get so many things?
Aunt...
That's my duty.
After all, I'm the to-be-son-in-law of this family.
Yes, that's true.
Aunt...
Then, why don't you agree to the proposal?
I'm eagerly waiting to marry Nagin.
You are right. You are the only man
in our family who has money and is handsome, too.
Then, let us not delay it.
Nagin will rule the roost at my home.
Aunt, I don't need any dowry.
I love Nagin.
Have you gone mad?
How is that possible?
Your mom has high expectations.
She would keep taunting Nagin if we don't give a dowry.
Give the money back to me. We will do something.
You need not bother about my sister.
I'll get her married to the person of my choice, when I want.
What's wrong with her?
Go inside. We will talk later.
Why? You're talking about my sister's marriage.
Why should I go inside?
Don't you get it? I told you to go inside.
I won't go inside...
Rashid, I'm leaving now. We will talk later.
Okay. We will meet soon.
Don't you have any manners?
Never insult your husband in front of outsiders.
You insulted me... Go inside!
Get lost!
I hope I didn't hit you hard. I...
I didn't mean to.
Well, why are you objecting to Anwar and Nagin's marriage?
He has already been to jail for eve teasing twice.
He is neck deep in debt.
He drinks and gambles.
And the shop you are talking about
has been seized by the moneylenders.
How could you get my sister married to someone
-who isn't even settled? -Even politicians and leaders
get convicted. Anwar is an ordinary man.
You might feel bad about this.
Daughters who are abandoned by their father
won't get marriage proposals from officers and businessmen.
You should be glad that I married you.
You are having a luxurious and respectable life
at my house.
Or else, what would've happened?
You would have grown old at your paternal house
serving your step-mom
and looking for a groom like Cinderella.
I'm the head of the family.
I'll decide about Nagin's marriage. That's final.
-But Rashid... -Oh, not again...
You still haven't learnt your lesson, it seems.
Listen, whatever you are saying about Anwar
maybe somewhat true.
Before marriage... I mean...
He is a little irresponsible but trust me, he is a nice person.
He will improve further.
Finally, I got the chance... I mean, I want to see
my sister-in-law having a settled life.
And everyone improves
after marriage.
And so, will Anwar.
I'm sure Nagin will reform him.
I'm not ready to accept this marriage.
How can I convince you? What should I do?
Who wants your opinion?
Be practical and go to sleep. Turn the lights off.
How dare they even think about you and Anwar?
People from our background get such proposals.
I won't let you get married to just any crook.
I educated you so that you don't have to suffer like me.
After all, I'm your sister.
And I'm no beauty queen
that a man will ignore my status and background and marry me.
Maybe I will get married into a similar family like yours.
Why do you compare yourself to me?
You won't suffer like me.
You don't lack any quality.
You are beautiful and have high morals.
I know, God has great plans for you.
Soon, a prince charming will come to marry you.
Don't show me dreams of a prince.
I'm a practical girl.
I never dreamt of a prince charming who will take me away from here.
Moreover, my focus is my career now.
I want to become independent.
Now, don't tell me that you don't want to get married.
You have no idea how worried I am for your marriage and future.
