Luka Chuppi (लुक्का चुप्पी)

Nazeem Khan, you made a statement in a party in London that you're not married..

..but you do have kids.

That means you're in a live-in.

You've disgraced the institution of marriage and Indian Culture!

What are you guys saying?

I am a proud Indian. And I always will be.

I celebrate all the festivals like Eid, Diwali, etcetera.

Then after doing movies like "Marry me" and "The Union of Two Families"..

..how can you say such things about marriage?

Says who? Who said I abused it.

You want controversy, don't you? You'll never get it.

Go home.

- Your next film Marry me Monalisa just a publicity stunt. - Go home.

And even your late night parties are always in the news.

It's my life.

I can do what I want.

Whether I party till late at night or have a live-in..

..how does it matter to you?

You don't pay my bills.

Live-in, huh..

So you're being termed as anti-national and it's true.

Tell us. Please tell us.

He's gone.

- 'Nazeem Khan.' - 'Down-Down.'

- 'Nazeem Khan.' - 'Down-Down.'

- 'Glory to..' - 'Culture Protection Party.'

'There are quite a few similarities between a politician and actor.'

'They are both drama queens..'

'..and they both want publicity,

And lots of it.'

'No one knows what Nazeem Khan said in..'

'..but it certainly deemed love as a sin in UP and MP.'

'Suddenly live-in relationships had become a national issue.'

'Nazeem Khan's films posters were torn..'

'..along with lovers whose clothes were stripped off.'

'Because according to the Culture Protection Party that states..'

'..that men and women being seen together before marriage..'

'..is against Indian Culture.'

'They have their own set of rules.'

'And in case you don't like their rules..'

'..you are free to raise your voice.

Feel free to raise your voice.'

'But it won't change anything, except for getting a sore throat maybe.'

'With cameraman Abbas Shaikh, I am Guddu Shukla, Mathura, live.'

- 'Nazeem Khan.' - 'Down-Down.'

Beat him!

'The protest over Nazeem Khan's statement..'

'..has taken a violent turn in many parts of the country.'

'As you can see how the workers of the Culture Protection Party..'

'..are apprehending young lovers..'

'..and coloring their face black.'

'As result colleges were closed down in many parts of the city.'

'But the biggest question that still lingers is..'

'..whether this is really a cultural question..'

'..or just a PR stunt for the upcoming elections.'

'We'll find out after the break..'

'..from Culture Protection party's ex-MP, Mathura, Vishnu Trvedi..'

Guddu, I spoke with the people with Diamond news in Delhi.

They want us to do another job before the Gwalior Elections.

They want us to prepare a report..

..with opinions from different people on marriage and live-in relationship.

Which they will telecast as an interesting feature.

We're ready, sir. Just tell us when.

- Hello, Mr. Trivedi. - Come, uncle.

Come sit.

Come Rashmi.

- Mr. Pandey. - Hello, sir.

- How are you? - All well.

It's okay. It's okay.

Come, sit. Get some tea.

What can I order for you, Mr. Trivedi?

There's no need for such formality.

Tell me..how's your channel doing?

Well, thanks to your grace.

How's your political party doing?

Culture Protection Party.

Well, it's doing better than ever.

And I owe it to these traitors..

..who can't show some respect for our country, our culture, and religion.

We're rallying against this Nazeem Khan.

We won't let any of his films released in UP.

And if we spot his picture at some barbershop..

..then we'll burn it down to ashes.

The picture, the shop, and even the cars outside the shop.

- Long live revolution.. - Okay, okay.

Mr. Pandey, she's my daughter Rashmi.

Hello.

- Remember I told you about her over the phone. - Yes, yes.

She just returned a week ago from Delhi..

..after getting a degree in Media studies.

She even did her schooling out there.

My younger brother lives there.

Uncle runs a transport business in Gurgaon.

He owns 72 trucks. How many?

Seventy-two..

And none of his trucks ever stop at toll..

Rashmi was saying that she wants to go back to Delhi..

..to work as an assistant on a TV channel.

That's internship, father.

Exactly.

But I said our very own Pandey owns a channel right here.

It's right here in Mathura, so why not give it a try.

This way you can live with me for a couple more days.

Mr. Trivedi, this is your company.

See..

- Rashmi. - Yes.

I must tell you one thing before you begin working.

We're not some big news channel.

We run a cable-news channel.

And also do some freelance work for the New channels in Delhi.

Not a problem.

And anyway, it's only for a month.

I am not planning on staying here forever.

So this way I'll get to know the local news network..

..and I can put this on my CV as well. So..

Fine. You can join from tomorrow.

We were just discussing a report.

You can join in if you want.

- Yes, of course. - Great.

Let me introduce you to our team.

This is Guddu Shukla, our star reporter.

Only a fool wouldn't know him.

He's the face of your channel.

A one-take artist.

I've seen you reporting on TV.

Your style's quite different.

Thank you.

Elections are around the corner.

And I am running for the Parliament Elections again.

I'll give you a couple of interviews as well.

Uncle..

Him too.

- And that's our cameraman. - Yes.

Abbas.

Radhe-Radhe!

'Walekum Salaam.'

Radhe-Radhe!

So we're with Babaji from KC Ghat (Riverbank),

So Babaji, this new issue on the block about live-in relationships..

..where the men and women live together without getting married..

..what is your opinion about it.

Look, son, since the time I was born..

..I've only venerated Radha-Krishna.

And in the end, I can tell you that even they were not married.

And there is no bigger love story in this world than theirs.

So you mean Babaji that live-in relationships are not wrong.

As long as their love, everything's chaste, dear.

Without love, it's wrong to look at anyone with such intentions.

"All the books in the world won't show you the path to enlightenment."

"But those who experience love, get enlightened."

I have a question, Guddu.

If Shahjahan had a live-in relationship with Mumtaz..

..would he still has built the Taj Mahal?

Taj Mahal is not the symbol of Shahjahan's wedding..

..it's the symbol of his love.

Don't you have anything better to do?

Always bothering me about something or the other.

Where the hell did you guys come from?

You..

Live-in is a good thing.

I was in a live-in for 8 years in Delhi.

But there are other issues in the country that you can cover.

Many other types of news. So cover those.

This is a stupid issue.

- You're in a live-in. - What's wrong?

- You're in a live-in. - Leave my hand.

But is live-in our culture?

Live-in is just an excuse for sex.

Just find me a girl, and I'll take care of the rest.

Right?

Living with a female without marriage?

I never even saw my wife's picture before our wedding.

I quietly did what father said.

And now I am the father of three.

I wasn't exactly floored on your handsome face either.

All thanks to your government job and your father.

Otherwise, you would've still been a bachelor.

God save us from such a wife.

Aunty is very danger.

Hello, grandma. We're from TV news.

Why are you yelling?

I am old, not deaf.

We wanted to ask you questions.

Go ahead and ask whatever you want to.

- Would you like to ask her instead? - What?

Would you?

- Okay. - I see..

She is going to ask her.

All the best.

Thank you.

Am I looking fine?

Wait a second. This profile is better.

She's looking better from this side?

Grandma?

- Ready, Rashmi? - Yes.

Camera rolling.

Grandma, a new system has taken the country by storm these days..

..where the men and women live together before the marriage..

..in order to know each other.

In the same house.
