The singing we heard starting up was the prelude to our next musical number, "Kahin Aag Lage." This is one of the best songs in the movie in my opinion. It's got a very cool drum beat, a cool mix of orchestra strings, and just a catchy tune. Very memorable. Admittedly the dances in this one get a little strange, but all in all it's a cool package.

As the song progresses, we see it go from rehearsal, to video, to a large performance at a film festival. Manav is watching this from home with a wistful look on his face. The show cuts to Prabha who announces that Mansi will be appearing at the MTV India Viewer's Choice Awards later on. We immediately cut to that party, complete with "Livin' La Vida Loca" playing in the background.
The
camera crews are all over the place interviewing Vik, Mansi, and anyone else
involved with their act. Mansi notices that Manav has somehow managed to get
himself invited to the party and is mingling with the guests. Mansi points him
out to Prabha, who then reports the news to Vik. Vik tries to keep up his snappy
patter with his happy onlookers as he heads in Manav's direction.
Vik
slips away from the cameras and gets Manav's attention. He asks him what he's
doing there, then takes him aside to talk to him for a minute. He politely tells
Manav that while he does like his confidence and attitude, the fact that he is
there is making the evening awkward for Mansi. He politely asks Manav to leave
the party, but Manav doesn't want to go. Vik asks him why he keeps showing up
even though Mansi doesn't acknowledge him. Manav tells Vik that they're having a
spat, like all people in love do. Vik decides that Manav is crazy and calls his
assistant Banerjee over to escort Manav out.
Before
Banerjee can do that, the MC for the night makes an announcement that the awards
are about to be given out. As luck would have it Manav is the "chief guest" for
the night due to his family's business connections, and he is called up to give
Mansi her award. As he makes his way to the stage, some of his virtues are
announced, like he's the only son of a powerful businessman, and he was at the
top of his class in college while studying Indian music and Indian literature.
All this is news to Vik, who finds the situation interesting. He suggests to
Banerjee that they go have a few drinks.
Manav is busy making the most of an already awkward moment. He mutters a few choice statements to Mansi while they are doing that fake smile for the cameras thing celebrities do. He tells her that she doesn't want to have all this fuss. She's his beloved, and he tells her to tell him that she doesn't love him. She can't do it, so he tells her he will wait for her. He leaves her alone in the spotlight and heads out.
