I'm worried about making it with just the tailoring and your job income. We only know how tight things are right now. One sickness, and our whole budget explodes. If we can get this lawsuit and everything else figured out, we could sell some land and get back on our feet. Don't get your blood pressure riled up over it. If the job becomes permanent, the salary will increase slightly. till then we can adjust somehow.

She doesn't want her tea without milk, She went to buy milk from Lakshmi's store. She might not be able to drink milk when she gets older. some Lucas problem may arise...

Didn't he tell you? Why did you lie about seeing your sister? I didn't see her... she's lying. I saw you flirting with Rosy and buying her some sweets. That I... Oh, my dear Amal...

No one else. So, why did you teach Aleena? I thought it was just going to be us. That's because our Madam told me to. How can I say no to our Madam? So, Ujjwel...

Good Morning You're really shining right now. These kids have some doubts. I'm helping them. Ok.. Ok.. I will come now.
08:30 - 09:00 Ok Ujjwel, Madam is calling you. Will come now. Hey Badra, how are you? Are you in full work mode? As this is my first celebrity interview, so I'm preparing for it. You are Ok, right? Ok I will arrange the camera and lighting. I will be in Studio Villa. Has Malini called you?
09:00 - 09:30 No, Why? She has been away for several days, and she is not answering calls. Maybe she's sick. Even if she's unwell, she could at least respond to a message or return a call. But there's no response. If she calls, warn her that her position will not be made permanent if she acts like this again. hmmm Ok Madam Ok I'll give you a call after the interview.
09:30 - 10:00 Hey, there's a small change to our program. The celebrity we were supposed to interview can't make it. Don't worry. Madam arranged someone else. Who is it? I don't know exactly who that is. How can I interview someone I don't know? Don't worry... it will be fun... Not knowing them could make the interview really interesting and unpredictable.
10:00 - 10:30 Ask whatever you want, no problem. I've got your performance report covered. You don't need to worry. Is the tension gone now? Ok, be ready... Will come now. Welcome to a brand new episode of 'Behind the Cam,' brought to you by Wizartry.com!

11:00 - 11:30 That's Ok... I'm here to explain. Interview.... Are you here for the interview? Sorry, I didn't get it right away. Got it now? You look familiar... But I just can't remember where. If you tell me your name, it'll be easier for me to remember. Different people call me by different names. Hmm... I'll give you a clue about my name. You can figure it out. Is that ok? Ok... "You'll find my name in Ambaadi, but not in Kailasam."
11:30 - 12:00 I've heard this somewhere before. Didn't get it? Will give one more clue... Will rest upon a leaf of the banyan tree... Got it... Unni Krishnan I was 'Unni' (baby) before. Now I am a full-time Krishnan. I'm still not getting who you are, Sir... But you are very familiar... No need to call me Sir... Call me what you usually call me, Krishna.... That's what I call Lord Krishna. Who did you think I was, then? Sir... Sorry... Brother...
12:00 - 12:30 Please don't play with me. I know my team is trying to prank me. You are kidding... Hey.. I am your Krishna, the one you speak to every day. I came to you because of your heartfelt prayers. Please don't say that.... Please don't play in God's name. Please don't make this more difficult. This is my first session. Please tell the truth... Who are you? You pray for Krishna to be with you, but when I show up, you don't believe me.
12:30 - 13:00 Ok, do one thing... Test me. Ask me questions that only you can answer. I will answer it. Then you can believe me right? This reminds me of the movie Nandanam. It's always better to remember some things. But in this case, this is the only way to prove it's true. Otherwise, if I show you my true form, you won't be able to comprehend it. Ok...... So, it's a Q&A then?
13:00 - 13:30 Sure. I will ask... My favorite color? Yellow... Oh, that was so difficult. My favorite food? Masala Dosa Best Friend? Farhana My favorite place? Vagamon Blood Group O+ Wow, you really did your homework! You went through my social media, huh?
13:30 - 14:00 Ok We can do one thing. I have a story I've never talked about. Tell me that, and I'll believe you. This is about Kannan, isn't it?
14:00 - 14:30 A couple years ago... A girl went to a henna grove near her mother's house to gather henna leaves. As she picked the leaves, a sound broke the silence... Hisssssss... Hisssss... Following the sound, she found a cobra coiled among the mehendi bushes. ...which was ready to strike.
14:30 - 15:00 The cobra seemed to regard her with an air of, 'Who is this girl in my place? After seeing this... Terrified, the girl screamed, 'My Krishna!' and fled. But fate had other plans. She stumbled and fell within the henna forest. Her body was covered in henna thorns. And she started to cry. She was caught between the cobra and the thorns. And that's when Kannan showed up. He used a stick to drive the cobra away. He then lifted the girl into his arms.
15:00 - 15:30 He gently removed the thorns from her body and carried her to her doorstep. From that day onward, the girl began to fall in love with Kannan. Because of Kannan's arrogance, Badra was unable to express her love. Is that right, Badra? Who are you?
15:30 - 16:00 Dear Lord, if I have said anything wrong, please forgive me.
16:00 - 16:30 Am I the one who is supposed to forgive you Badra...? or is it Malini? 4 Days ago Hey, Did you saw Marvels Movie trailer? Yes, Superb The kids are buzzing about the trailer! I promised them a trip to the cinema on Friday. Today is Friday... Oh no, I'm so late! The kids are going to have my head. Are you coming? No, I have some work to do.
16:30 - 17:00 And I also have to go to the orphanage to see the sister after work. I need to remember my roots, right? Ok. We'll catch the next movie together, then. Please off my system. Sure. Will do... bye.. (Colleague talking on his phone) (Malini resisting)
17:00 - 17:30 Don't you only have a few days left to get your job made permanent? Yes I know the situation in your home... I will take care of the things in here. Badra, you may leave. What about Malini? A s i told you Badra...
17:30 - 18:00 I will take care of Malini... She's just not in the mood today. that's what happened... Also, you saw that too... Ok then... Just do what you're told. Bye.
18:00 - 18:30 Ok. We'll catch the next movie together, then. Please off my system. Will do... Bye..
18:30 - 19:00 Don't hurt me Sir.. No... Sir... Please Sir... (Malini resisting)
19:00 - 19:30 Malini, I looked for you everywhere... What happened? I've been expecting this for a while now.
19:30 - 20:00 For those people who have no one to ask, this is just another tuesday... So he's been doing this all the time? Hmmm... But today was... Badra, I went through so much to get this job Though we put in our maximum effort... People are still reluctant to hire those without a permanent address.
20:00 - 20:30 I cannot afford to lose this job. Why didn't you immediately complain to madam about this harassment? "Your words against mine" This is exactly what he told me when I said I was going to complain. Yes... Well respected and highly admired gentlemen.
20:30 - 21:00 Furthermore, he is the beloved husband of our madam. If I say anything without proof, he'll use it against me. That Bast*rd even turns off the CCTV camera when he comes to our room. But now... you have seen it... That' enough for me... Madam trusts you... If you tell this incident to madam...
21:00 - 21:30 then he will not be able to escape... You'll tell madam, won't you? yes You can go now.... I need to be alone for some time. I just need to let it all out and cry.
21:30 - 22:00 I.....

22:30 - 23:00 (Chanting)
23:00 - 23:30 Hey... What a deep sleep you're having here! Did you happen to go rob someone's house last night? Your celebrity is almost here... Go and get ready... Madam? Madam is in her room... why? I need to see her... Ok... I'm going to go set up the camera now. (Song)
