The perspective of the first few scenes is Jassi's. We don't see her, but see the world's reaction to her. She arrives at Gulmohur for her job interview. First she runs into Wilson and tells him that she has a job interview. She then meets Maria who tells her to go on up to Chairman. There, she runs into Pari who looks at her with an "I can't believe THIS" look; then she makes the mistake of going to Maddy's lair, where he pretty much tells her to get out and never come back. She tries to explain that she's looking for Chairman and he tells her where it is. Berta calls for Pari Fernndez and Jassi Pinzn, to meet with Manchanda and another executive. He asks them the same questions since they're both interviewing to be the Chairman's secretary. Pari explains that even though she has zero experience as a secretary, she did finish "six semesters in Mumbai at Mumbai University." Jassi also says that she doesn't have experience as a secretary, but that she did graduate from university with high honors and has undergraduate and graduate degrees in finance and economics, and also worked as an assistant at Banco de Montreal.
Manchanda asks them about their foreign language skills and Pari says that she knows a bit of English. Jassi answers that she speaks English and French, and a bit of Italian. In addition she lists the other things she can do and knows about, which impresses everyone… Inappropriate as always, Manchanda asks them about their marital status. Pari explains that she is separated from Mauricio Briggman (and Manchanda of course says that he knows him!). Jassi answers that she is single, to which Manchanda says, but of course. Manchanda asks Jassi why she didn't include her photograph with her rsum. Jassi explains that she's been to so many interviews that she ran out of photos. Manchanda tells them that he will get in touch with any news, but as they're leaving the office, he pretty much offers Pari the job right in front of Jassi. Jassi literally runs into Berta, who is carrying a trashcan that flies out of her hands. At that exact moment, Arman and Mr. Suri exit the elevator, and Berta begs Jassi to help her pickup the mess, because she doesn't want the bosses to see it. Arman notices the trash and starts scolding and yelling at Berta, and doesn't even notice Jassi, who looks at him in total shock because of his ranting and raving.
Manchanda tells Arman that he's found his secretary, and shows him Pari's paperwork. Arman gets mad at him and asks him how he's going to get through to him, that he didn't ask him to hire Sharon Stone, that he asked for someone efficient who spoke two languages. And, Arman is especially upset because Pari is Mallika's best friend. He asks Manchanda if he didn't pre-select any other candidates and asks him to get him the other rsums for him to look at. Jassi gets home and her mother asks her how the interview went. She says okay and Nandu arrives. She tells him that she went to a fashion house to interview for a job as a secretary, because she doesn't dare apply for assistant or executive positions because of her looks. And, that they practically hired "a pretty one" in front of her. She reminds them that people are always impressed by her rsum, but when they see her she never gets hired — that it's simply a problem of "casting."
