  • Hold on, Nikki!

  • What was it that we'd decided? We'd only buy things we need, right?

  • Why then did you buy the yoga mat when you don't even exercise?

  • Dear we have to keep the Papad for drying. Come.

  • Kids these days, right? Chintu, go get us samosas.

  • Should I get the one that's 2 days old? Okay, I'll get what we made yesterday.

  • Please come, ma'am. What's your name, dear?

  • - Nikki. - Come on, ma'am. Come in.

  • This store is just for you.

  • Look at what we have- A princess doll, a bride who also has a husband here.

  • This is the most interesting and real product.

  • She is already married in childhood.

  • If you learn well, then you will grow up and marry

  • We have everything here, ma'am. A princess doll, barbie doll,

  • voodoo doll and even baby doll.

  • - Tank? - A tank?

  • - There's no such doll, dear. - I'm talking about an army tank.

  • Tanks aren't for girls are they, dear? Dolls are made for girls. Look at how ...

  • Show her what she's asking for, mister.

  • Ma'am, how do I show her what we don't have?

  • Children ask for anything, ma'am. That's why we call them Children.

  • What if she tells you she wants to join the army to sit in a tank?

  • It's not like you'll send her, will you?

  • I'll send her if she wants to go.

  • Have you heard about Priya Jhingan

  • A girl in the army?

  • Dear, why don't teach P.T if you like sports so much?

  • You did, didn't you? I want to wear the army uniform.

  • - Are you done? Did you have fun? - Didn't you get the samosas? Go now!

  • Get married to an army guy if it's just about the uniform, dear.

  • You can wear his uniform when he's at home.

  • I'll wear my own uniform.

  • Will the army start enrolling girls just 'cause you want to wear a uniform?

  • Of course, they will.

  • The army chief replied to my letter.

  • Henceforth, the Indian army will have girls as well.

  • And I am cadet 001.

  • From cadet 001, she went on to become Major Priya Jhingan!

  • Wow! That's fantastic! The samosas taste so good today!

  • Chintu, go grab some extra chutney, will you?

  • Why don't you start a samosa store?

  • Madam, I got it. She doesn't like minor but major toys, right?

  • Look at this, the tanks' cousin brother- the airplane.

  • This little doll will fly in it wearing a uniform. She'll be an air hostess.

  • Have you heard of Prem Mathur?

  • I've never heard of him but I can hear about him now.

  • Air hostesses are being interviewed in the next room.

  • That's great! They do a very important job too.

  • You've really applied for the job of a pilot?

  • Yes, sir.

  • Everything else seems fine, but this...

  • is where you fell short.

  • I thought this is what would make me overqualified, sir.

  • Will you be comfortable with a male co-pilot in the cockpit?

  • Sir, I'm with you 2 gentlemen here right now and I'm comfortable.

  • Why is the cockpit any different?

  • See, you'll earn a lot of respect and a lot of money.

  • Which will be quite a lot in comparison to a lot of men.

  • Do you think you'll find someone to get married to you after that?

  • Well, at least there won't be casualties when she crashes the plane.

  • 'Cause the passengers will run away the second they find out it's a female pilot.

  • If you 2 gentlemen have paid attention to anything other than

  • the gender column on my resume,

  • you'll know that I have a commercial pilot's license.

  • Which means, I'm a qualified pilot.

  • And if I can deal with you 2 gentlemen,

  • I'm sure I can manage with any male co-pilot.

  • You won't regret hiring me, sir.

  • And they didn't!

  • Prem Mathur went to become the first female commercial pilot of India!

  • I have already given her a plane.

  • Should I make her a pilot and train her as well?

  • Ma'am, why don't you understand me? She's a child and she needs to play now.

  • She's going to play with dolls, right?

  • It's not like she can change the world at this age.

  • - She can! - Huh?

  • - Have you heard of Rukhmabai Raut. - No, I haven't! Tell us!

  • - Rukhmabai... - Hold on.

  • Go ahead! Quiet! Go get the samosas and chutney yourself.

  • My lord!

  • My lord, this woman refuses to sleep! And let me tell you, it's not insomnia.

  • It's not insomnia.

  • She refuses to sleep with her husband and hence, must be punished.

  • - My lord, I'm just 12 and I want to study! - Study! Study!

  • Studies! Point to be noted, my lord.

  • Education is the root cause of everything.

  • Your shallow thoughts are the root cause of everything!

  • Against which I've written articles in Times of India too.

  • Oh my lord! She's even started writing?!

  • Tell me something... What will you women do after all this studying?

  • - I want to be a doctor. - There you go, she wants to be a doctor.

  • Why not? I've even written a letter to Queen Victoria.

  • - Yes! It came in this morning. - Give it there. Please read, my lord.

  • Go and get samosas. Please read, sir.

  • You wrote a letter to the Queen? I'm impressed!

  • - And she replied! - She did?

  • 'Dear Rukhmabai, thank you for letter regarding child marriage.'

  • 'Which I hereby null and

  • raise the minimum age of consent for all women of India.'

  • - This is what she's replied. - But, my lord? My lord?

  • Silence! Order! Order!

  • Congratulations, Rukhmabai. You're an inspiration to all women.

  • And that's how they all roll!

  • - Rukhmabai did become a doctor? - Yes!

  • So girls and boys, remember one thing-

  • you can be anything you want!

  • - Anything? - Yes, anything!

  • I want to be a rapper!

  • Let's go home and talk now, dear. Okay? Come on now.

  • - Mum, have you heard of Raja Kumari? - No, I haven't. Tell me on our way home.

Hold on, Nikki!
