Shortly after the plane lifts off, Vijay pushes the call button at his seat. Shivani, blissfully unaware of the nightmare that is about to begin, answers his page. She's none too thrilled to see who it is that demands her attention, and asks him what he's doing there. He gives her a smart-ass reply about being there to play cricket. He points out that this is a flight to Dubai, and that's what he's doing there. She rolls her eyes, and he says that what he really wanted was a drink. Shivani goes to get him one, but he stops her with the call button three more times before she can go, making the order more elaborate and awkward. For example, she is to make the beverage "more intoxicating than your eyes." Oh, and this lovely gem to the right.

Never one to pass up a golden opportunity, Shivani decides to make him a drink that he'll not soon forget. She pours him a glass that's about 3/4 whiskey, then adds about half a cup of chili powder, then another half cup of salt. She takes it to him and steps back to watch his reaction. Vijay takes a sip, and doesn't seem to notice her extra ingredients. In fact, he compliments her on the mix. Shivani is a little miffed that her prank seems to have backfired, and turns to leave. She is stopped by Vijay's seat buzzer again. When she asks what he wants, he replies that he would like another drink, just like this one, only a little saltier if she can manage it. Now seriously annoyed, Shivani stomps off to the rear of the jet.

We see the plane landing and the passengers disembarking. Vijay gives Shivani a somewhat disrespectful farewell, and mimics the sound of the seat pager before getting off of the plane. When he reaches the gate, he hears an announcement that the flight he just got off of is making the return trip in just a couple of hours. He gets a mischievous look on his face, then heads back towards the gate. On the plane, Shivani is attending to the needs of some of the passengers when she is accosted from behind by Vijay. Needless to say she is not happy to see him again. She asks him why he's on the flight when he just arrived so recently. He gives her some sarcastic remarks, and she leads him to his seat.

Up in first class, Vijay gets to wandering about the cabin. One of the other hostesses asks him to be seated as the plane is passing through some rough weather. He ignores her and goes for the bar. One of the other passengers tries to help, but Vijay just pushes him back into his seat. He goes over to the bar and ends up knocking something over, causing the hostess to repeat herself that he should take his seat. Vijay explodes at her and orders her to shut up, calling her a servant. He says that she should act accordingly.

At this point Shivani speaks up, having overheard Vijay's rant. She tells him that he's being very rude, and just being rich is not a reason to talk to them that way. She orders him to apologize to the woman he insulted, which causes his shoulder to do the twitching thing. Luckily he's able to reel himself in this time, and hesitantly grunts out an apology. She then leads him to his seat, and tells him to sit there and be quiet. This draws applause from the other passengers in the area, and even Vijay stands to clap. As he does so, the plane hits some turbulence and he falls. He bumps his head on the side of the plane, and sustains a small cut on his forehead.

Vijay begins squealing like an infant at his boo-boo. He cries out for Shivani to come and help him. She takes a look at his little scratch and tells him he's overreacting. She puts a bandage on his face and tells him to relax. He continues to whine and peels off the bandage when she looks away, so he calls out again that he is bleeding to death and desperately needs Shivani's attention. After a quick cut to the outside of the plane, we jump back inside and see Shivani asking if he's got anything else that she must attend to, but Vijay can't answer. She's not only bound his wound, but also his mouth and his hands with medical tape.

The plane finally comes in for a landing. We cut to the interior of the terminal and see Shivani and her crew leaving the gate. As they walk, they hear the strains of our first musical number starting behind them. In horror (ours as much as hers) she realizes that Vijay is serenading her. We all join in her trial as we have "Badi Mushkil Hai."
