Part 4
Arjun takes gets into the train and gets down at Mumbai.
He comes to the auto stand and asks the auto driver, "Are you coming?"
Auto Driver: Come.
Arjun: I am talking about the Rickshaw.
Auto driver: Do you think I will make you stand in the hot sun? I will drop you wherever you want but if you have brought the luggage, there will be extra charge.
Arjun: I don't have any luggage.
Auto Driver: Have you come from outstation?
Arjun: Yes
Auto Driver: Did you come running from your house?
Arjun: No, I have left the house.
Auto Driver: Do you have affair with any girl?
Arjun is speechless.
Auto Driver: When you can have an affair, why do you feel shy? Do you have a girlfriend?
Arjun: Yes.
Auto Driver: What is her name?
Arjun: Maya.
Auto Driver: Come sit inside the rickshaw.
Arjun gets into the rickshaw.
AD: Where do you want to go?
Arjun: I want to go to Maya's house.
AD: Which Maya?
Arjun: Film star Maya. She is a superstar. Don't you know her?
AD: Then get down from the rickshaw, take a train and go back.
Arjun: Why?
AD: There are many people like you who come to Mumbai in pursuit of a film star. Some come here for SRK, Some come for Salman Khan, some guys come for Madhuri but not everyone's dreams gets fulfilled. By luck they get to see their shoes and veil. I am telling it for your good. If you make this mistake, you will also become an auto driver like me.
Arjun: Auto Rickshaw driver?
AD: I was living in Nashik. But after watching Himmatwala movie, I left my studies and came to Hyderabad. I stayed there for a month. Then I got to know that she lives in Chennai. When I went to Chennai, she had gone to Mumbai for shooting. I came to Mumbai to see her but I could not see her fully. Sometimes I could see her leg, sometimes hair but one fine day, she went with Boney Kapoor. That was the heartbreak for me.
Arjun: Sorry to know that.
AD: Can you drive the rickshaw?
Arjun became speechless.
AD: I have shared my experience to you but still you want to see Maya?
Arjun: I want to see her only once.
AD: Will you go home after seeing her?
Arjun: Yes.
The auto driver then gives him a lift and said, "This is your girlfriend's house."
Arjun gets down from the rickshaw and goes inside the bungalow. The security asked, "Where are you going?"
Arjun: Is this Maya's house?
Security: Yes, Welcome. What do you think? Is Maya's house a Taj Mahal or any other palace wherein anybody can buy the ticket and enter? Get lost.
Arjun: I am a big fan of hers. Uncle please let me see her just once.
Security: Do I look like uncle for you? There are thousands of fans like you who come here. Go away.
Arjun leaves reluctantly but turns back.
Security: Go from here.
While he was passing by the hotel side, the workers makes fun of him. One of the guys approach him & said, "You called him uncle right?"
Arjun is speechless.
The hotel boy calls one more guy & said, "Look who is here."
One more worker comes and asks, "What is your name?"
Arjun: My name is Arjun.
Worker: Your name does not suit with your personality. Where are you from?
Arjun: Pune.
The other boys said, "Even this person is from Pune. Where do you stay in Pune?"
Arjun: Shaniwarpet, Pandurang gully behind Hanuman temple.
Worker:Even I am from Pandurang gully. I was playing gully danda. What is your door no?
Arjun: 203
Worker: Oh, even I stay at the same door no. I stay on the top floor.
Both hug each other. All make fun of him.
The hotel owner comes out & asked, "What are you guys doing? Come in & do your work."
One of the workers said, "There is no problem from our side. This guy wanted to meet Maya."
He goes in.
Usman: Come here.
Arjun comes.
Usman: You have come to meet Maya?
Arjun: Yes.
Usman: Did you run away from home?
Arjun: Yes.
Usman: That is utter stupidity. Did you eat something?
Arjun: No.
Usman: It can be made out from your face that you didn't have anything.
He calls Tapan & said, "Give this guy something to eat."
Arjun: I don't have money.
Usman: That is the one remaining. You left the house and came all the way but spent all your money. Did I ask any money from you? Have your food.
Arjun: Let it be. I don't take anything that is free.
Usman: You don't have a single pie but have not given up your ego. When a person is hungry, even ego will not last long. Have something now.
Arjun: Can I get a job in your hotel?
Usman: What work can you do.
Arjun: I have not worked anywhere but I'm willing to learn.
Usman: Fine, you can join the duty from tomorrow. I will pay you Rs. 5000 & give you the accommodation.
Arjun finally has his food.
