He also moonlights with a tutoring center called Chatwal Coaching Class in order to make ends meet. Hoping to pacify his family with his income-tax refund, he will instead be compelled to give up its entire amount after his Meerut-based sister Urmi invites them over to a wedding. He borrows a car from a neighbor, Farooqui, and, after a rather dramatic trip, is forced to compensate him as the car gets damaged. Unable to bear taunts that he cannot afford a car, he decides to buy one. It is this decision that will force Payal to seek employment in a call center. Sandeep will confess that he has been gambling, which leaves Santosh with no alternative but to consider accepting bribes from students and risk being exposed on live TV.

Genres: Adventure, Drama, Fantasy, Music, Musical,I took you down to the station
And I bought your ticket
Lord, I hate to see you go
And as you walk away
Please don't turn around, 'cause
I know you'd hate to see me cry
But I put you on that bus
And as it pulls away
You know I'd really rather be...
Oh, anywhere but here
Nowhere else but here
Anywhere but here
I wish I could take you there, now
Sit around the hotel room
We're playing cards for nickels
It should always be this way
But I'm just a man
And you're a bit too crazy
And being together's always hard
So I put you on that bus
But as it pulls away
You know I'd really rather be...
Oh, anywhere but here
Nowhere else but here
Anywhere but here
I wish I could take you there, now
'Cause I sure as hell don't wanna be here
Oh, now that you're gone
Oh, now that you're gone
Oh, now that you're gone
So now you're gone
And it's my fault
And now that you're gone
I just had this thought
That I can hardly wait to see you
I can hardly wait to be...
Oh, anywhere but here
But I'm just a man
And you're a bit too crazy
And being together is always hard
Lord knows I'd rather be...
Oh, anywhere but here
Nowhere else but here
Anywhere but here
I wish I could take you there, now
'Cause I sure as hell don't wanna be here
Oh, now that you're gone
Oh, now that you're gone
Oh, now that you're gone
I can hardly wait to see you
