Story : At the start we see that Deepak (Saif Ali Khan) goes for an interview at a particular institute, for the post of a professor only to get insulted. The people taking the interview ask Deepak his full name. Deepak very calmly replies and says Deepak Kumar. Things begin to get worse when the interviewers ask Deepak about his family background and more importantly his father's name. Deepak tells them he has never seen his father and it was his mother who brought him up. The conversation turns ugly when the interviewers question Deepak that if his mother does not know her own background, then how is he even supposed to know his. By this time, Deepak gets infuriated and says to the interviewers if he had not inherited manners, then he would have printed the institute's name on each interviewer's forehead; with a lot of wrath within his heart he walks off.
