She cheated, I swear.

- I'm sure, Mike. - You better eat up your curry, Myra.

You too, fish head.

Nervous?

Well, 13 years ago I was standing exactly where you guys are.

Rice and lentil curry. That's all I knew.

British cuisine was not easy for me.

But you know what helped?

This.

The fire.

It's the soul of your food and the spirit of your heart.

- So, are you guys ready? - Yes, chef!

Well, let's go then.

What have you done now?

I had to leave work halfway.

Just chill, mum! Relax!

Really?

Let's go. "Relax"!

I'm worried for you, Miss D*** S***.

Sir, it's Dixit.

Oh, well.

Sorry sir, what did she do?

She missed her lessons and raced outside the school.

She is a bright student.

But she doesn't follow the rules. This is ridiculous.

I'm sorry, sir. This won't happen again.

Have a word with your daughter.

Otherwise you are going to have to find another school.

Sorry, sir.

Sorry, I promise. We won't let this happen again.

Thank you for your time.

What, mum!

Myra, schools have rules that you must follow.

You cannot behave as you please.

Oh really!

Then what was that, huh?

"Myra, let your mind wander. Just be free!"

You have been telling me this since I was little.

Why the sudden 360-degree switch?

- Where is the freedom of my mind? - You can have it after school hours.

There should be a balance in life. That's all!

Oh really?

No, mum. Listen, I want to be like water.

Completely free.

Is it? Then be a river.

Not a sea which is stuck in a storm. Right?

Boyfriend?

No, mum. Eew!

- It's ok! - Stop it, no mum!

"Simple little moments becomes so special"

"These moments bring grin on face and feels magical"

"when you are around"

"When you are around"

"You are the thrill of my life"

"Though hot but you chill my life"

"Though you are my family you give a feel of friendship"

"Everything feels vibrant and lively with you around"

"World feels alright with you around"

"Everything feels well with you around"

"I feel alright with you around"

"Everything is wonderful with your around"

"You are my only Best Friend and life line"

"You are my job full-time"

"You are my search engine, my GPS"

"Though cool like me but still you are craziest"

"When it gets dark, when thoughts clouds in the heart"

"why it freezes with worries for you?"

"I look for you when you are around"

"With you around"

"World feels alright with you around"

"Everything feels well with you around"

"I feel alright with you around"

"Everything is wonderful with your around"

Close the door.

Now, go change quickly. Hmm...

And then immediately sit for your homework, ok?

- - Mum! I...

- Wow! - Grandma!

- Surprise! - Hi!

- Oh my god! - This is crazy!

Grandma!

You should have told me. I would have come to pick you up.

We didn't want it to be hectic for you.

- What did you get for me? Show me! - Take a look.

- Myra, please. - First go wash your hands.

Why are you telling her off? It's fine.

- She's just a child! - Not at all!

Tell them about your antics in school.

- What happened? - Don't exaggerate.

I won the race!

- Wow, that's amazing! - Wow!

Did your school organise the race?

No, your dear granddaughter bunked class to organise it.

Oh my god...

But you won the race, right? First class!

When I was in school, I used to bunk classes too.

And race towards the forest to pick and eat plums.

- Plums? - Come with me.

Please don't encourage her with these stories.

I will see what to do.

Come!

- Let's eat these laddoos. - Bye!

Bye!

Show me, what did you get?

This time, I even got jackfruit for Myra.

- Wow! - I know right!

Wow! Today's menu is all your favourites, Myra!

Lucky you!

Wow!

- Here you go. - I'm so hungry.

Of course, she is my darling granddaughter!

Grandma!

The jackfruit curry is too good. I love it!

She loves it only when you make it.

But you don't get good jackfruit here.

That adds to the flavour really.

Grandpa, you are only staying for five days?

You must stay longer.

Just wait for a bit.

Once I retire next year, I am free!

And we will be back for your birthday.

Better still, take her with us to India.

What difference will it make by setting up a Maharashtrian-cuisine restaurant here?

Instead if you come to India as a chef returning from the UK...

You will get so much attention.

But, dad, I'm not doing this for attention.

This is my dream.

And shifting your base is not so easy.

I have a life here.

The thing is, Sharvari...

People think of Chicken Tikka when they hear about Indian cuisine.

Who is going to ask about your Puran Poli?

Exactly my point.

That's exactly what I want to change!

Indian cuisine doesn't only mean North Indian food.

We have dumplings, indigenous vegetables, fish curries...

There are so many things to experiment with.

Once people are introduced to these flavours. They will go crazy.

I don't agree.

You will go crazy in the process.

She always sets unrealistic expectations.

Calm down.

It was the same thing last time around.

Didn't listen to us, came here. Got married, and look what happened.

Why are you bringing up things from the past?

I'm not bringing up the past.

Is divorce that easy?

We had warned you to not marry that person.

But you didn't listen to us.

You did what you wanted to.

It's the same thing again.

A restaurant with Maharashtrian cuisine.

Who will give you funding for it? Tell me!

Who will care about your Puran Poli?

It's not possible to change the face of Indian cuisine in a day.

It's not that easy.

Grandpa...

Just wait and watch.

See how mum's Puran Poli replaces Chicken Tikka.

She will change the entire fate of Maharashtrian cuisine in the UK.

And no matter the struggle. She will fight back.

Just like a superhero.

Myra...

Enough with the phone now. It's sleeping time.

- Come on. - Hmm...

- Mum? - Hmm?

Where am I from?

London. Why?

Is my accent off?

What happened?

Did someone say something to you?

- Do you remember Meghan from school? - Hmm...

She asked me today...

"Where are you from?"

Then she looked at me weirdly... And asked again.

"No no, where are you really from? You sound off."

I was so angry.

What did you say to her?

I told her to get lost!

- What? - Yes!

She doesn't think that I'm British.

And my cousins from Mumbai joke about my Marathi.

I don't know where I come from.

You belong where your heart is, Myra.

The world is your oyster.

Be like water, remember?

- And what about my accent? - My accent is off too.

- Mum, you don't need to... - No, seriously.

I mean, listen Myra...

It's better to have an off accent than being an off person.

Hmm?

This is Usain Bolt, right?

And what's her name?

Mum, it's Allyson -

Yes, it's Allyson Felix.

They are your idols, right?

If they had concentrated on their accent instead of their running...

Would they have become great runners?

No...

So just be you.
